The Remote Island

Top 5 Reasons We Resent "Lost"

Posted by Olivia Purnell

 

Five seasons in, and we are still thouroughly addicted to this show. But, as the 100th Episode of Lost approaches, we've got a couple of polar bear bones to pick with Lost producers. 

Here we go:

We resent . . .

 5. Homework. As though it isn't enough that we watch every week, Lost producers want to give us afterschool assignments too? Next week ABC will air promo clips of it's new series Flash Forward during Lost. Said clips will direct us to a website. What? No. We will not go to your GD website, unless it contains vital information about Lost. Oh, it does? damn.

4. Love-Pimping. Stop pimping our love of Lost. Really, ABC? You're really gonna make us watch previews of a series that you haven't even ordered yet, by dangling the promise of Lost answers in front of us like a piece of carmelized bacon? (It sounds gross but it's sugary-salty deliciousness; you've got to try it.)

3. Clip-Shows. We watch the show. We don't need the slot filling Cliff's Notes. It's insulting.

2. J.K.S. Love Triangle. We hereby reject any and all Jack-Kate-Sawyer love theatrics. We don't like Kate's meaningful looks, Sawyers lovestruck bullshit (what about Juliet!), or Jack's resigned stare. Jack's like a beaten puppy who's just been neutered. Give him his balls back, please.

1. Interminable Mythology. We know it's never gonna end. But we can't stop watching. They had us at "what lies in the shadow of the statue," but this week apparently "Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) will come clean about what he knows about the island." 

Like a Rubik's Cube we've been turning around for hours, or a never ending gobstopper that we've been sucking on forevs, we can't quit now. We're just about to get to the deliciously mind blowing center of all things Lost. We just gotta work that cube faster or suck a little harder . . . or uh, something.

    Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

    Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

    Ben Kallen is an entertainment, health and humor writer who's been lectured to by Sidney Poitier, argued with by Lea Thompson and smiled at by Jennifer Connelly. He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

    Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home. She wrote for alternative weekly papers in the first two states, and tried to learn Lakota in the last. (The vowels can be tricky.) She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
