Another LOST entry

Alan Sepinwall has a solid blog on TV (he's a critic from NJ), and this week's LOST discussion dwelled on how disappointing this week's ep was. I concur, except, I have hope that it was setting up a huge show next week with a ton of revealing info. Here's hoping I'm not wrong.

Here's one of the comments from his blog that exemplifies the tone of their discussion:

They need to get rid of the Others already. The only thing interesting about them is why they're there and what they're doing. But if they're not going to tell us that then they're just boring as hell. And having the characters interact with them and NOT ask those questions just comes off as ridiculous and a lazy way of avoiding having to give any answers. I was literally yelling at the screen through most of the conversations last night. Like Karl's "we take them to give them a better life." "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" would have been the normal response. But Kate and Sawyer just freaking sat there. And the whole story about Jack's tattoos was incredibly dumb. I mean, I don't mind getting the story behind his tattoos, but was there really any reason to try to make a mystery out of that too? "I have a gift." "There will be repercussions." Whaa? I think I actually got a headache from all of the eyerolling I did. I actually don't mind extra mysteries (like Desmond's story last week) but they need to be interesting and have some impact on what happens on the island. This story didn't. Let's put it this way: last week's episode ended with Desmond's "you're gonna die, Charlie." This week? Jack and Juliet doing their own personal version of "I'm king of the world!" zzzzzzzzzzzzz
