My only complaint about this season of Lost will probably be the majority of Lost fans. For five years, it's been a show that you can talk about with friends (or internet friends) the day after. It's been a shared experience of mysteries and monsters and all that.
But now, this season, I think most people that watch the show regularly will become more and more intolerable in their disappointments over what the show is/is not doing. Personally, I'm just along for the ride; I try not to theorize about what's going on because I have faith in the writers and cast and I'm able to do a little thing called "suspending my disbelief". I mean, if you can buy anything from the first season (plane crashes, people survive, paralyzed man regains ability to walk, whispers in the jungle), then I don't see how people can't buy into the more radical things Lost has done since.
It's human nature to nitpick, I know, but it's a shame that it has to happen to such a degree with a show that's probably one of the most impressive feats of television storytelling ever broadcast. Just enjoy it and have fun, I say.
As unbearably and indisputably awful as people like the 9/12 Teabaggers are, the type of listen-to-world-music-on-NPR, bring-organic-spinach-dip-to-the-party people that would hold a wedding like this are even worse.
So, at a time when there's a whole spectrum of opinions and misinformation about health care, and when the debate about it is as prescient as ever, CNN is going to waste an hour of airtime on this shit? It's almost as bad as MSNBC spending every weekend covering prison documentaries as opposed to news. UGH.
