Interesting Lost Observation
Okay, I know I bitched about Wednesday’s Lost episode, but I still dig the show. But then I read this and got to thinking …
Will quality matter, though, if Lost is getting killed by the press? Would lapsed or new viewers want to give the show a chance after reading about it online? Most viewers would not want to bother with a show that was not expected to last beyond a fourth season. As a fan, I worry that the overwhelmingly negative media attention will discourage interest in the show. An even bigger concern is that the Lost writers will heed bad advice and move away from the elements that made it successful in the first place.
It’s a valid pop cultury sort of argument. I will continue to watch Lost. I like it, but it seems there is a lot of juice in this post over at TV Squad.
I’m waiting to see what happens.
If the criticism sends the writers back to the mystical,weird sort of stuff (polar bears, smoke monsters, trees falling left and right, seeing the future, deja vu) instead of kite-flying Thai crap and love triangles tween Sawyer, Kate and Jack, I’m all for it.
I read all you guys’ posts about Lost and am sorry I didn’t get on the bandwagon from the beginning (I HATE coming in late to a TV show). I loved Matthew Fox in PO5 and Lost was one of those things I intended to start watching and forgot about it when it started. Sorry I did that now.
Maybe I’ll pick it up on Netflix later, I seem to do better with TV these days if I can watch an entire season of something in a weekend or so, my attention span is so bad. Then y’all can all laugh at me later when I start getting into it and y’all are all loooong past it.
