(Or good music or a good book) You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make television. But anyone with any assemblence of a brain who can communicate ideas can certainly discuss what makes bad TV.<BR/><BR/>If people really believe that those who don't make television shouldn't be allowed to criticize it, then I guess we should just let them make whatever they want and we just sit and take it.<BR/><BR/>No! Voice your damn opinion and speak out why you don't like something. In fact, when Lost was good (there was a time), the reason the show actually beat the odds of cancellation after one episode was because it resonated with an audience and people responded to how great it was. People talked. There was buzz. So why can't the same fans who love the show also talk about its shortcomings. We aren't fairweather fans. We stick around and hope it gets better. But we certainly won't just sit down and take what they give without speaking our mind about it. And I can bet that with the bad buzz that translated into dwindling viewers (yes, I know it's not THAT many, I can read the ratings), that they will once again listen to what the fans are saying.<BR/><BR/>No one here wants Lost to be bad. No one here is a true hater. What they want is the show they love to be fantastic. It's a tall order, but not impossible.<BR/><BR/>pJpJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011500984203616894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-1163637539523796652006-11-15T19:38:00.000-05:002006-11-15T19:38:00.000-05:00how long must we wait for new episodes?how long must we wait for new episodes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-1163411723320086932006-11-13T04:55:00.000-05:002006-11-13T04:55:00.000-05:00Hi Guys, Back after the weekend.

I know everyone is wondering what to do in the 13 weeks break and I know Christmas is going to keep you all busy but what about Lost. <BR/><BR/>Well fear not, I know David and 'The Goog' are planning a few podcasts and you can guarantee my involvement :). <BR/><BR/>I am also planning a few things to keep you involved. I have something I'm thinking about doing nearer Christmas but in best Lost tradition I am going to keep that under wraps for the time being. However I am working on a Lost based short story, which I will publish exclusively here in the not too distant future. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget today is podcast day!Chris Procterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129550424336272958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-1163409150080461322006-11-13T04:12:00.000-05:002006-11-13T04:12:00.000-05:00PJ said "Good summation of why Lost is working thi...PJ said "Good summation of why Lost is working this season..."<BR/><BR/>Not sure if you meant "isn't" or not, but that is a horribly negative article that doesn't really have anything constructive to say.

You didn't put your tw...Hey TBM, long time no hear! You didn't put your two cents in for this Ep yet did you? Hey, maybe a good thing for LoCo peeps to do during the break is read the essays on your blog. I'll be doing some of that. I read a few so far but have a lot more to peruse. I have to go to Dr. Spongey's blog too, I haven't been there in a while.<BR/><BR/>All this talk about "The Break" makes me think of that silly Ross and Rachel thing, "But we were on a break!" :-) I guess if the "exciting Lost sneak peaks" during Day Break are good enough, we can talk about those. Maybe the Admins can start a thread where we can talk about them, since we've just about exhausted discussion on this ep, unless someone comes up with a good new question or theory that we haven't tried yet. But tomorrow we should get one more TLC podcast? Blow our socks off with this one guys, it needs to last us till Feb. I hope that TLC traffic doesn't fizzle out completely during The Break. I luv you guys, man! :-D<BR/><BR/>BTW! I just got the new Lost magazine and on page 27 in Desmond's bio, it says that he was dishonorably discharged for "refusing to follow orders". Did we know that? Or did I miss that? I thought that the only thing we knew, was that he did something that was hinted at being cowardly, which of course spurred him to do the race to get his honor back. Perhaps he refused a chance to kill one of the enemy (out of mercy? -- Des is such a nice guy it seems), and he was put in the brig for that? Interesting, I thought that we had no clue as to what he did. The mag also shows the making of the 4-toed foot.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads-up about the screen caps Barbarajay. Yes, what is the rock-breaking project all about?! Maybe it was supposed to be for Danny and Colleen's newlywed lovenest? :-)Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-1163389538535715472006-11-12T22:45:00.000-05:002006-11-12T22:45:00.000-05:00I spent some time today looking at the lost-media....I spent some time today looking at the lost-media.com "I Do" screen caps. Here are my observations.<BR/>1. Jack continues to fool around with the ceiling. Is there a way out?<BR/>2. During her slingshot attack, Alex carried a bag with "US 151" or "US 451" printed on it. More military surplus or something else?<BR/>3. One of Ben's observation cameras were on the scrub room outside of the operating room.<BR/>4. The operating room was "OP-06." Does this mean there are OP 1 through 5?<BR/>5. Kate's wedding necklace had a swivel pendant. I couldn't get a good look at the design.<BR/>6. I'm very curious about the Falcatraz Island jungle clearing project that Kate and Sawyer worked on. Two of the screen caps showed pieces of the plans on the table but I'm not savvy enough to get a better look. Anybody?<BR/><BR/>Nothing outstanding. I'll keep looking at all of the S3 epi screen caps.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Dr. Spongebob! I was going to watch Criminal Minds but it looks like Medium is going to be in the Wednesday at 9 slot.

Just having a little fun. Not trying to annoy anyone. Just using a cliche for what it is....a cliche....between friends....Redhex. :-) I guess if our sophomoric humor doesn't thrill someone, they can....um....not read it. But we still don't want to chase anyone away, that would make the Admins sad.<BR/><BR/>2costa, I could go for that theory that Ben is a nicer (more good) "bad guy" than Juliet. She is really beginning to annoy me now. OK, so she's all sad and sorry that she joined the DI, and she wants to go "Downtown" really bad. But her other behavior to Jack, her sickeningly sweet suckup voice, and lying to Ben on the table like that, etc., creeps me out. Not that Ben isn't still creepy, mind you.<BR/><BR/>As for ratings, do they still give out those ratings boxes that you hook up to your TV, or did those go out in the 60s? If not, where can we sign up to get some and raise the Lost ratings?!<BR/><BR/>Thanks SO much Dennis for posting that top 10 Lost list, that's great.Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-1163283078353741202006-11-11T17:11:00.000-05:002006-11-11T17:11:00.000-05:00Jumping the shark.

It comes from an episode of Happy Days where the Fonz waterski'd over a shark. It's supposed to mean the point at which anything (usually TV but anything really) goes from being good to being pitiful. Except first, it doesn't exist because these things are a slow decline rather than a one-episode turnaround; second, we aren't clones so what's good for one is middling to another and bad to someone else; and third, it only works in hindsight. You don't sit there and call it in realtime like you're actually embarrassed about what you're watching, tentatively waiting, hoping for an excuse to jump all over it. Years later you reflect and say 'it wasn't the same after this'.<BR/><BR/>But whatever. There's a class of person out there who delights in making proclamations like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
