open letter to the writers of lost

[orangerful]

No offense, but if you advertise that things will actually happen in an episode, could you have them happen? you're getting DANGEROUSLY close to X Files territory here. Sayid used to be an awesome character and now he just annoys me to no end. Locke and Jack bicker like an old married couple. And Sawyer, what's going on there? Did you just give him all the goods so he could smile like a smart ass thru every episode without actually developing as a character.

For the first season, each episode was a day on the island. But now, what's going on? Sawyer steals the guns and the medicine and the next day everyone is cool. Oh yes crazy man, come hang out with us, no hard feelings since you stole all of the ANTIBIOTICS THAT COULD SAVE MY LIFE!

Charlie tries to drown the baby and a few days later everyone is cool with him again. No no, it's okay, you're just a crazy rock star, it's cool, hang out with the tortuerer who swore never to torture again but has already done it twice on the show and loved every minute...

You still have time to fix this show. Get your shiznit together and get these characters moving towards something again. Bring back Faith!Locke vs. Science!Jack.

Also - Sun/Jin? What's going on there? First you show us she wants to leave him and they hook up again and we're like "oh good" but then Jin turns out to be sort of an ass munch. Yeah he put her garden back together after ripping it apart in a fit of rage. And he apologized. Men who beat their wives usually apologize later too. I was much happier when they were "apart" and learning to love each other rather than this odd relationship you seem to have shoved them into. And now this whole preggers thing?? Is that even necessary! We've already got one baby on the island and we see how thats working out for the story. And, btw, could you hire a few more female writers for the show?? You can totally tell that it's an estrogen free zone, since Jack and Sawyer get all the lines and Kate gets to say "hey wait up [insert male lead here]" as she runs thru the jungle in a tank top. COME ON!

And can we start counting the parental issues on this show?
Jack - check
Sawyer - check
Locke - check
Kate - check
Walt - check
Shannon - check
Boone - check
Ana Lucia - check

....poor Ana Lucia, she is the Jar Jar of LOST. There's so much wrong with the show right now but I feel like her character is taking the brunt of the blame even though she's hardly been in the season except for the two backstory episodes.

And flashbacks of days on the island...not as cool as flashbacks of life before the island.

I'm very over the constant Hurley abuse. Is that supposed to amuse me, all the cruel things Sawyer says to him? And what happened to Charlie and Hurley? If anyone was going to take Charlie back as a friend it should have been Hurley!

Ugh, so frustrated. Season 1 had me on the edge of my seat, had me moaning when the episode ended because I wanted to see more! Now we're guessing what will happen after about 5 minutes into the show and usually we're right. (though the stupid Sayid digging up the grave was just lame "how to serve man" simpsons style joke).

Come on writers of Lost!!!! Make my head spin again! Stop holding back!

amen sister! couldn't agree more.
No way I'm going to put up with another X-Files.

Ugh, I know, and I had hoped that they would have taken a cue from X-Files (and Joss Whedon) and attempted to PLAN OUT the second season a bit better.

I won't put any nails in the coffin yet, but these last few episodes of the season need to be freakin' brilliant of they want me back for round 3. Everything better start falling into place a bit quicker.

the hatch timer is getting very old too. Every episode they try to make it tense by having the timer almost run down...and every episode they type in the numbers...it's really losing it's edge!

Haha it's so true... although, last night they didn't have shots of her in the shower, so it seems like SOMEONE is a little in touch with his feminine side. haha.

haha, yeah but they mentioned it! and everyone saw Jack flinch when he lied (badly) about there being no water.

lol true. I bet the writing session went like this:

Writer 1: Let's have Kate take a shower!
Writer 2: Duuuuude that would be soooo sweet. *frat boy laugh* heh heh
Writer 3: C'mon guys... we've already done that before.
Writer 2: OMG what are you saying? That you don't want to see a girl in the shower? *backs away slowly*
Writer 3: No... I just... gah. Fine, what if we show her running in a tank top and ASK about showering?? Will that work?! Okay then.
