Comments on: Lost bitching, part the two http://wolfangel.calltherain.net/archives/2006/05/30/lost-bitching-part-the-two/ this is a wolf angel & it eats the people it's supposed to help. A wolf angel is not a good angel to have looking out for you.

Sawyer's all right though. Hugo and Sun are about the only other characters I actually like. My beef is with the plotting. The writers either a) are not very intelligent or b) never anticipated a second season. I loathe the way they retroactively try to insert meaning and make connections that never were there before with new flashbacks. The stories are not self-consistent. They like dropping tantalizing hints to the mysteries of the island, but they drop so many without resolving any that I both cease to remember them and cease to care. I think I might be just about done watching Lost. We shall see. *I still haven't got around to watching the final two episodes. They're taped, but my enthusiasm has waned.

They answer one question: why did the plane crash? And another: what happens when the button isn't pushed? Which is nice. I like Hugo and Sun, I still like Jin, and I like Sawyer and Sayid. I liked Shannon, too. Oh, and I lovelovelove Henry Gale. He's so incredibly awesomely creepy. The plotting is a little seat-of-the-pants, clearly. They've done somewhat better this season than last, but I can only follow all the threads by reading TWoP and having them pointed out to me. But the set is so beautiful I will keep watching it, at least for the beginning of the next season. But they better plan on wrapping things up soon, because it will take them 2 full seasons to answer half the questions they've brought up.

When I watch less regularly and just want a straight recap, I don't have time to read a dozen pages! Jin is good, and Daniel Dae Kim rocks. However, I don't think he gets enough screen time to develop the English-free character. Love his and Sun's flashback eps though. I love Veronica Mars for the very reason that they wrap things up each season (or at least they make you think they did).
