My thoughts on "Lost" with some help from Eddie Vedder

Waiting....

Watching the clock / it's quarter 'till / it's got to stop
Tell them...
Take no more / he practices his speech as Julia opens the door
His mind boils over / he checks his watch as Jack looks her over....

He lies and says he's in love with "Lost"
Can't find a better end
He wonders what happened to polar scans
Can't find a better end
Can't find a better end
Can't fina a better end.... ohohoh


Talkin....

To his wife / they both grow tired of the show
And yet they watch uhhuhhh

Memories back when plot was bold and strong
And waiting for the Others to come along...
Swears it was good, now he swears it's gone
He lies and says hes in love with "Lost"
Can't find that damn island...
He dreams of Desmond, his girl who hunts
Can't find those artic men...
They lie and say they'll fill it in,
Can't tie up those loose ends...
He dreams of Alex, he dreams of droogs,
Can't steal from Kubrick, man...


He loved it, yeah... he don't want to leave this way
They need him, yeah... that's why they tease him again
Can't find a better end
Can't find a better end
Can't find a better end....


**SPOILERS AHEAD***

Seriously, people. What the fuck was that? Other than a physical scare from the whole bus thing, what the hell was there for me to chew on? I mean, I guess the "A Clockwork Orange" ripoff was "inspired", but what was the point of it? They're taking this guy back to the other island with them... so, does that mean we have to learn all about him, too? Melissa and I watched the last episode from November before the new episode came on, and we had forgotten that there were these two new characters on the beach, too. A man, and an annoying woman who asked stupid questions all the time. Why do I care about those people??

It just seems to me like they're only doing creepy/different things for shock value, now, rather than developing the beginnings of the creepy story they had in seasons 1 and 2. Like, whatever happened to the polar monitoring station and Desmond's woman-friend at the end of season 2?? Was that just some red herring? Did they forget about it? Are they on holiday?

I don't know if they take their viewership for granted, or what, but they'd better be careful.

Clearly, they are just going to dick around this season while providing all of the back stories for all of The Others. They will just shuttle some people back and forth between the islands and maybe kill off a sub-major character or two. Maybe the blonde oncologist/biochemist/whatever is going to wind up telling Charlie about what the hell The Others are doing (how they got there, what the islands are, what they're for)??? That's the only ray of hope as far as I can tell. They seem to be totally neglecting the supernatural part of the story, though, now.
