Long awaited.
Awesome.
Tumultuos.

Ya know, when this show premiered four seasons ago, I figured it was about people living on an island and coping with some kind of beast. Yes sir, I had it figured out

One thing I have been watching, the show has slipped into sci-fi. It had to, how else to explain all the weird stuff! Now they can easily explain the dead people, the smoke monster, Jacob, etc with paranormal answers, we're going along with time travel, why not?

as Richard said in the first episode of 5th season "it's a lot to swallow". And for me to border line has just been crossed. It was the first episode(I've seen all)that made me bored after 20 minutes and I had to postpone watching untill the next day. All this "moving the island, being cured after getting a bullet" could be acceptable on the condition that it doesn't appear every minute. The area that they entered of total S-F has nothing to do with the climate of seasons 1-3. They got the climate of mystery by not-reavealing several things but now if you don't understand sth it's "voila"-time travel, etc.

I enjoy the show, but I think the plot is just silly at this point. I think they have dice with plot points and names, then they roll them and that is the next episode.

example:roll 1
Hurley, mongolia, burrito, blue, bunny rabbit

second roll:

Locke, basketball, 7-11, kim-chi, green, rubber glove


Tonite on Lost:

Hurley is eating a burrito when he is suddenly kidnapped by a blue bunny and wakes up in Mongolia, while Locke is putting on rubber gloves to eat kim-chi, he is hit over the head with a green basketball.
queue scary lost music.

Lost has always had some awesome story telling, but with the latest nudge into fantasy, which I feel was inevitable with the way the story painted itself into a corner, the writers will have their work cut out for them.

Never really got into the new episodes apart from maybe 1 or 2 that I happened to catch on telly. From those few, it seemed that Sawyer's role is pretty small these days? (which sucks, he' the best! )

Yeah, Sawyer rocks, he's the most fun character, along with Hurley.

Spoilers:





Sawyer is now part of the 1977 Dharma gang, head of security, no less.
