deadcinderella inspired me to talk a little about Lost. Not the episodes themselves, but just in general.

A lot of people have told me that they (really sorry about the pun) lost interest in the series. Too much mystery, very few answers. Some say Locke is weirder than ever, and that J.J. Abrams is going to explain everything through the realm of the "unnatural".

Now, I say, seriously people.

Anyone that OMGLOVED the first season, all it's questions, mysteries and, quite frankly, bizarre things has no right to decide, right now, that Locke is "weirder than ever". Does anyone remember that creepy herb he put on Boone's head in season one that made him hallucinate? All his craziness towards the hatch, that yellow light (which was explained by pure and simple reasonable facts) and all that jazz.

If you think rationally, all Locke did on that episode was hallucinate with the help of really cool herbs that he had to save Eko. He felt guilty about Boone, Boone shows up on his subconscious. He felt guilty about Eko. Guess who Boone told him to save? WOW. Very psychic that all was, eh?

All I'm saying is... patience, my dear hobbitses. Anyone that has seen Alias know how crazy and bizarre J.J. Abrams is. He already said explanations will be scientific. He also said he had enough script for six seasons. I was programmed, from the start, to only get some answers by then. Were you whole lot not? What would be the fun if we found out everything so soon?

Season three is amazing so far (the last ep... WOW) and, as Renata said, we don't waste time watching poker matches. This is not Big Brother. The fun of the series isn't to see Kate in her bathing suit.

...Or maybe it is, like some of the theories say. After all, sometimes is does seem that one that island WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH AND BEN IS WATCHING YOU.

In Lost two plus two can equal five. And while some people decide that is an absurd and turn their backs on the series, us, believers in J.J. Abrams's craziness, wait to see the insane, but rational, equation that would give us that result.

ETA: I've just seen this picture in fly_meaway's journal. Look at the plane, to the right, behind Walt. See the symbol? Now tell me all of this wasn't meticulously planned.
