Here's where I "liveblog" a show that aired 1 year ago tomorrow

Male Jim Treacher | Category: TV

Yes, I am an idiot. But what do you want me to do, read a book? Go out and meet people? Or even worse, watch Grey's Anatomy? No.

Okay, dummy, fire up your DVD player, put in disc 6 of the Lost Season 3 box set, and select "Through the Looking Glass (Part 1)." At 9 on the dot... GO!!!

Wait, you mean to tell me that stuff with beardo the weirdo was a flash forward? Wow!

Do you think they'll use that plot device again?

Man am I glad I have several seasons of this Lost crap to watch, because almost every ending is something that would just piss me off if I had to wait around to continually not find out the answer because Jesus FUCK they are keeping their cards close to their vest because I've watched fifteen goddamn episodes now and they still haven't even so much as alluded to well, lessee here, a monster, an underground lair, French researchers, voices in the woods from people who apparently just like fucking with castaways, a half-dozen people who think the first thing anyone should do when they get important, potentially life-shattering news is keep it right the fuck to themselves, a military plot, a research plot, a magical boy that can kill birds by thinking stupidly about them plot, what appears to be an alien sublot because we all know that would be tan-fucking-gential news, a kind and caring Republican Guard torturer because we all know brown people are more noble than the rest of us, daddy issues, kid issues, baby issues, sister humping issues but not anymore because they seem to be brother and sister again, messiah complex issues, magical resuscitation issues, polar bears that exist for no reason except to have a secondary monster to chase people around with without showing a real monster, potential zombie infection issues (the French woman, remember), convict issues, divorce issues, delusional people that seem to add up to more than the number of survivors (must be Ethan!) and now I have to go watch another three seasons to finally get my questions not-answered once and for all. Then it's off to plot the murder of the Lost writing team in some fiendishly complex and utterly brutal, but incomprehensible way. I promise there will be polar bears involved.

Oh, and I completely forgot to add in the numerology plotline, which is being given every indication of being a central plotline that will at some point in the future completely dropped by the writers when they see a shiny penny.

Oh, and NOW Locke is the Christ child (ep 19). Those writers are going to suffer.

I think with the Lost writers impending deaths, I'm going to downgrade the polar bears to a bit part, like they'll only have their fingers nibbled off by the polar bears, but it will still be part of the plot. I know for certain which numbers are going to be carved over and over and over into their skin, though.

Oh, good. Rescuers. It looks like "Lost" will have a happy ending.

I know just from the tone that was a comment filled with cruelty.

Don't ever step foot in Alvin, Texas, Les, if you know what's good for you. I'm not threatenin' you or nuthin', the place just sucks balls.
