MY PROBLEM WITH LOST
Mathew Fox was on Ellen the other day saying we would SEE the Monster we would see INSIDE the hatch and we would be VERY satisfied with both. I was NOT satisfied with either. This is the summary of my issues: Do NOT reveal more mysteries than you solve. If you are going to make me wonder if Russo was in on Claire’s kidnapping? Then tell me why the HELL there are Polar Bears on the island. You know? Adding more mysteries (Who took Walt? Why did the monster pull Locke underground? Will Charlie fall off the rocker? Will the rafters make it back to the island?)is only good if you solve a few you left open ended. And about the monster - was that it? The wisps of black smoke? AND WHY ARE THERE POLAR BEARS ON THE ISLAND?
I guess I just wanted more. Just like with the meatball sub I ordered the other night where they jipped me on marinara sauce. Is it too much to ask that you cover ALL of the meatballs? I think not.
Pregnancy/Dental Note
I have a damn dental appointment today. I am NOT looking forward to this thanks to my new pregnancy symptom: Bleeding gums. My gums don’t hurt, they just BLEED and BLEED and BLEED (Yum!) when I brush my teeth and I do NOT feel like dealing with that today. Plus? I hate the Dentist. Seriously - I hate the Dentist ALMOST as much as I hate Russel Crowe.
ALMOST.
After my trip to Hell, I will not return to the office until Wednesday. I will begin the Moviin-into-the-house-we-actually-own-and-have-to-fix-things-when-they-break-all-by-ourselves journey where my only goal is that MrZ is the first one to blemish the new paint job on the walls and not LilZ or I. Our phones and internet will be turned off in one place and turned on in the other sometime tomorrow. Lets also pray THAT goes off without a hitch and that my outlet for venting about the moving process is not taken from me in the form of a poor transfer. Otherwise, I may have to go back to my old method of coping with stress: Rocking back and forth in the fetal position in the corner of some room, while singing El DeBarge’s To the Beat of the Rhythm of the Night over and over again.
This, is why I blog.
Not that this is an explanation, but the polar bears are on the island because Walt was reading about them in a comic book. He sees things and they happen. He’s special! The Others took Walt; like how Russo said the Others wanted “the boy”. He’s the boy, not the babies.
The numbers thing on the hatch was freaky. And is it my imagination or is Hurley actually getting larger?
At least that’s my interpretation of things, but what do I know?
Note: the white type on the yellow is really hard to read, I hope I typed my name in properly.
On to Lost. The polar bears are because of Walt and his ‘ability’. He was reading a comic book about polar bears, and the next thing you know, there’s a polar bear. Did you notice that most of that wierd stuff stopped after the comic book was put in the fire?
I would have liked to have had more answers about things like the hatch and where it leads to, how the Black Rock ended up in the middle of the island, and of course why The Others took Walt, and where in the heck do they live????
Blogging as therapy… I’m all for it. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than a shrink. I much prefer real people’s comments to “I see; and how is that working for you??”
That’s why there’s a next season - to answer a few of the open questions and pose about a gazillionmore. Would you have as much anticipation for next season without some dangly bits waiting there?
And what’s this crap about showing a scene on Good Morning America that they couldn’t fit into last nights episode? I really didn’t feel like setting up the VCR (remember those?) to record all of GMA so I could watch some 5 minute scene. We’ve been cheated. Again.
Best of luck with the moving in this weekend. You’ll love having your own place. Even if ya do have to fix the busted stuff yourselves.

Please - please be gentle when moving. You don’t need to be doing much of anything - let others do it. Just kick back and direct! Please.
A damn dental appointment is better than a dental dam appointment…
Good luck with the move……let the boys do all the work!
Yeah, the hatch was quite the disappointment. So much so that by this morning I’d already forgotten that they’d shown us the lame ladder. I was wondering if the writers have yet decided what lurks at the bottom of the ladder. My husband and I agree with Girl, that the guys on the raft are The Others and that’s why they only wanted Walt, the boy.
Good luck with the move!
I did not like the finale at all! A bunch of us at work said that if more questions arise than mysteries solved then the show will be dead to us. That’s it, I’m all done. In the future I’ll check out TWOP to get summaries but I’m all done caring about them and that stupid polar bear!
Good luck moving, try and take it easy!!!!
Ahh…moving and the dentist…the not so fun things in life!
Those of us living in the far corners of this planet haven’t had the final yet, but I became so frustrated with this show I’ve just been keeping in the loop by reading TWOP anyway. So good to know I can just keep doing that.
Good luck with the move!
Umm, Zoot? I now have you to blame for having that DeBarge song — which, I’ll have you know, we sang at my eighth grade graduation!! — stuck in my head for days. You are an eeeeeevil woman!
I live in Spain, and here we are only at episode 8. And already the show is getting on my nerves. But I guess I will keep watching it anyway.
Ok, as an Aussie, I’m going to defend Russell Crowe’s honour (even though he’s only a pretend, half-hearted Aussie)
So . . . don’t pick on Russ . . . or I’ll tell the teacher
I loathe the dentist and still get satisfaction from remembering the time I bit one as a child

it is totally one thing to start new scenarios in this show, but they have basically answered none of the pervious ones. Everything is still OPEN and it’s driving me nuts!!
I hadn’t even thought that The Others were the one’s on the boat. So they want Walt because he’s special? I never even picked up on the Polar Bears/Comic Book thing.
The monster sounded like a machine. The click-click noise when Locke was being dragged along? WTH was that?
ugh. this show makes me so mad
