Such vulgarity is beneath you and drags this polite conversation down. I bid you good day, sir! I am insulted. Such vulgarity is beneath you and drags this polite conversation down.

This is completely different than just watching one episode. You state that my logic is flawed, but really only complain about how little of the show I've watched. It’s a common complaint but notable in that it’s one of the few counterarguments available. My criticisms have largely gone unaddressed. Are you or are you not still debating the same mysteries? Have they really answered any questions without replacing them with two more? Plot development in Lost is like that monster from Hellboy. You kill one but two more rise up. Develop one mystery then replace it with two more that vaguely tie into the ending. The statue, the black and white stones, Adam and Eve? They all tie into the ending? Okay. Here's the ending of Lost. I'll tell you right now how this show will end. They will reveal that this is the destined location of the final battle between good and evil. The white stones and black stones represent this due to unimaginative writing. People are pulled to the island through space and time because of destiny. Things happen on the island because they were meant to. The statue, and Adam and Eve are present to drive home various religious connotations. The statue will also be used to support the island's history of traveling through space and time. The island travels because it goes to wherever it needs to be to collect those it needs for this confrontation. The organizations vying from control of the island will demonstrate the battle between good and evil in all of us. People do the wrong thing for the right reasons and etc. The final scene will be a boring conversation, and then an ending that is up to interpretation. My interpretation will be that the show is stupid, and that fanboys are gullible. Your interpretations may vary. First off, I watch a few episodes (in a row!) out of context every few seasons.

If you watch the first season and check in every few seasons, how can you POSSIBLY claim to know anything about the show? It's quite easy to assume that a show is "full of crap" when you watch one episode out of context every couple of seasons. I'm sorry that you have to wait longer than one season to have all of the mysteries solved, but if you don't like it, don't watch it. Wait, you don't. Well, now I'm just confused Shawn: I wasn’t going to get involved in this, but your logic is so flawed that I honestly can not help myself.

In order to know it's full of crap, you merely need to watch the first season and check in every few seasons. Your friends will still be discussing the same stupid 'mysteries' that they were three years ago. See statue. Oh, yes, the statue. We showed a piece of it years ago. Now here it is again! Behold! Yet you know nothing more now than the first time you saw it. Don't act like they developed the plot. Some intern just found it in the past episodes and said, hey guys, what about this? And one of the writers was like, aw, man. Forgot about that. Alright, toss it in next season. You have to catch every episode in order to pretend you understand Lost.

BOOM! Oh, and here’s the problem with having mystery shows that give you most of the answers in the first couple of seasons- you get Heroes.

Shawn, YOU DON'T WATCH LOST! How can you even bash it? Burt Sorry it took me so long to respond…I was in Georgia (which is where the Island is).

Shawn,

YOU DON’T WATCH LOST! How can you even bash it?

In fact, you are the only other individual that I know that has agreed with me on a similar point when it comes to the movie, "Boondock Saints." Everybody seems to love that movie, but I can't stand it because it just strikes me as mildly OK writing with characters people can relate/aspire to be like. It's quotable, and it isn't inherently a bad movie, but it just drives me nuts that everybody always tells me that it's such an awesome movie, when I feel like it was a movie that should have been released straight to video at blockbuster a la "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" (Wait a minute) I wont make the argument that Lost is a particularly good show. It really isn't, but it draws people in emotionally, which a lot of shows don't seem to even try to do anymore.
