Re: Lost Fans Speak! Rate This Episode!

i would say that what caught me off guard was his words about his stuff.
never thought that would be a reason. I mean, you took my shaving cream!
I will say I am a serious jack fan, but he could have handled getting back the meds better. that was a serious guy moment, one i can not relate to. i would have approached him, but clearly there is a power struggle going on.

I loved this episode. The best episode this season.

To me the point of his speech was not to complain that his stuff had been gone through, that was a smokescreen. He was tired of having Jack and Locke tell the whole group what to do and he saw his opportunity to have a say in what happens and some power again and he took it

Yes I actually I do. I think that Sawyer does respect Jack and I think it would be to the benefit of the group if Jack and Sawyer were able to work together

Re: Lost Fans Speak! Rate This Episode!

The creators took a big dump on thier own show with this weeks episode, IMHO. I felt very let down, not because of the events themselves, but the way they JAMMED this big twist into one episode, really about 10 minutes, just feels wrong. It made me cringe, and not in a good way. In a matrix revolutions kind of way.

It was an obvious cop out of almost everything they were building up to this season. The Jack/Locke confrontation was just getting interesting, now it's deflated. The "army" situation never really mattered at all, why introduce it like that?? Because now it's been dumped on, and the Others are suddenly leaving them alone? HUH????? WHAT???

Where did my show go?????????????????

This is not the same show I watched two weeks ago!

Hmmm...
Maybe you should go reread my post, Jenn.
Nowhere did I say everyone must have the same opinion as me or they couldn't express themselves. It looks like you're the one doing just that.
Nor was there any name calling, just my honest opinion....or maybe that's not what you want on this board?

Just because you didnt like it, it doesnt mean everyone has to have the same opinion as you. And calling people names because of this is *not* the smart thing to do.

I don't mean to put words into Jenn's mouth here, but umm...yes, there was namecalling. Your post classified every member that liked the episode in derogatory terms. I'm not going to quote it here, because the language of your post was rude and inflammatory.
(See FAQ for the site rules.) The problem is not that you stated an honest opinion, but that you were unable to do it without insulting the intelligence of anyone who disagreed with you. Go ahead and state your opinions, but remember that you may not be disrespectful of other members, whose opinions are just as valid as yours, when doing so.

If you have a problem with the logic or conclusions drawn in a post, explain your position. Give details that support your argument. However, blanket statements about other posters' intelligence really do nothing to further your cause, and won't win you many friends here. Getting along on the Fuselage is really quite simple. Debate the posts, not the posters. Don't make it personal.
