Does anyone think Lost is going a bit stupid? I have been a devote fan from the very beginning. I saw the 1st episode when it was first aired and have watched each episode since. I just saw that last one, the other woman. I got to say that it was total rubbish.
Like nothing, NOTHING, has been explained at all. When Jack asked what is your primary mission, and the dude never answered. If I was trapped on an island and some dude crashed in a helicopter, and he didn’t answer me the first time, I’d keep asking. “ yea come on, talk, why are you really here then???” And what is Ben doing walking around the housing estate were Locke had him locked up. What’s that all about, I still can’t understand why Locke didn’t kick his weedy *** after shooting him in the back. So Ben says, “I’ll explain everything if you let me go, and walk around and walk by the dudes playing horseshoe toss, (on a desert island, weird stuff happening, lets throw horse shoes at a stick)”. So Ben puts on a tape of Pennys da kicking some dude around. Everything explained?? NO!!! Lockes character has deteriorated, Ben is just annoying, Jack is just now an idiot, aww man, it’s just so annoying now. I’m not watching it anymore. Nothing is explained. It used to be good but it’s going nowhere. The producers just making more stuff up and not explaining other things. One more thing before I go, when Ben tells Goodwin, or whatever his name is, go run to the beach after the plane crashes, Juliet and Goodwins wife have a bit of a starring match or whatever ya’d call it. That didn’t happen before. Ben said to Juliet, “oh I guess I’m outta the book club”. So when there’s continuity errors like that, the show has just lost it.
Gonna have to disagree with you here. What's great about lost is the fact that they keep you guessing. I enjoy watching it because it makes you think! I have faith that by the end of the show all the answears will be given.
Maybe instead of terming it "jumping the shark" for Lost, we should say "Lost licked the spoon." I mean, I know that didn't happen in this episode but I do think that moment was kinda the worst of the worst when it comes to the annoying stuff we are still having to deal with. And love geometry was prominent in this episode too.
Well, if 'Jumping the shark' means having characters do things that are completely Out-Of-Character, LOST has jumped the shark several times over.
My vote for when it started would be Sayid torturing Sawyer (bit odd for a man that vowed never to torture anyone again), then banishing himself for shame at what he'd done, then trying to punch answers out of Henry Gale!
I dont think they will be able to explain everything, they'll forget about things and wont bother explaining them. Characters like Echo have been forgotten about. The show is going nowhere. It's annoying when they dont explain anything. Ben says, i'll tell you everything. He told Locke nothing at all!!!! Nothing. And where did that shrink disappear to when she was in the jungle. And Jack and Juliet have a little kiss, reality check here folks, your trapped on a desert island, there's black smoke, people been kidnapped, weird stuff happening, and we'll just have a little cuddle before we go into this underground gas pit.
Yea lick the spoon, jump the shark, the show is losing it's fan base here.

Can anyone beat that?
First off, I really don't think LOST has jumped the shark. People may disagree. I dont think so.
As for Sayid...I dont see how violence is out of character for a violent guy, trying to becomes less violent and torturous. Sayid's got his reasons. I thought they wrote him well, especially early on.
"...Jack and Sawyer. They're the duality. They're one of the most important character axes on the show."
I wouldn't be that harsh. There are a couple of dud episodes in every season. Granted, this was the dud to end all duds, but don't forget it came on the tails of two cracking episodes. Lost has a habit of hauling itself back onto the rails. Nothing in TOW irreparably damaged the narrative; it was just frustrating that nothing actually happened.
