ellem's Journal: [Lost] I'm out

I don't care about this show. I'll download it from alt.binaries.dvdr maybe but I'm not waiting 13 weeks to find out anything.

I like the 4 8 15 16 23 42 thing but I'll just read the answer on Wikipedia someday.

It is starting to bug me

Unlike Battlestar Galactica, which at least throws you a crumb or two now and then, Lost just keeps adding bizarre things that don't explain anything. At this point it could just be the insane hallucinations of a nutjob (Hurley?) as easily as anything else. I'll keep watching, but frankly the "cliffhanger" isn't much of one for me.

Very close to something I said to one of my friends. I just love Battlestar and Heroes since it has started, but dammit, giving me some answers and new questions each episode....why the hell do you make me wait an entire week for the next episode.

Which is similar to what my dad used to say of tv shows that would end their season on cliffhangers, where you won't find anything out until the new season 4 or 5 months later. Which was basically, "what the fuck? I could die between now and the new season and go

Hehe; I have thought the same thing now and then.....

See now Lost is even worse; at least with BG the cliffhanger gets pretty much resolved in the first episode next season. And as the plot goes along, mysterys are revealed (and of course new ones spring up). With Lost, sometimes it takes several episodes before the stinkin' cliffhanger is even addressed, and then there are STILL issues, hanging around since damn near episode one, that STILL haven't been explained or resolved. I swear if LOST shows the dark

I thought about it, and I guess what bugged me last night was realizing the season is over, and pretty much none of the big mysterys have been explained. What this implies is that the entire season was filler! Sweet!!

Now Battlestar Galactica has had only one episode in ALL OF THE SEASONS that I would consider just filler with little else. Hell in the last BG episode more was explained/clarified about what is going on than the last entire season of Lost has explained. I don't mind a mystery, but holy crap on

Gotcha back

[mekkab]

Did you know that you can see the DHARMA symbol on the shark? The shark the show just jumped! (* penny-arcade.com)

1) they killed off my fav character
2) they introduced two newbs
3) last year they had more repeats than a bad hot dog
4) this year they're just not showing anything until february
5) breaking the tension between sawyer and "freckles" by letting them get-r-done

it all adds up to: This sucks.

So I'm out.

And speaking of alt binaries, aren't most of those things like chopped up into 586 pieces?! Don't

1: Yeah, and the thing that killed this character has yet to be explained AT ALL, which is irritating the hell outta me. And yet he faced it down a season ago. WTF? Which reminds me, what the hell do the polar bears eat when there are no people around to scarf on???
2: Yeah if by introduce you really mean, "made them appear out of nowhere". I mean I know there are random peop

Stuff I've seen posted is usually in multi-part archives, and each part gets chunked up into hundreds of posts.

NewsHosting [newshosting.com] has a pretty decent web interface to the binaries groups, though, that combines and decodes posts. It saves a fair bit of bandwidth and is easier to use, as you then usually need nothing more than an un-RAR utility to reconstitute whatever you downloaded.
