Slow Motion.

About the season finale of Lost, that is.

I mean, I'm glad they're trying to open up and reveal more secrets and whatnot.. but geez! What happened to that original story, where they landed on an island, there were big mechanical monsters, black smoke and they kept seeing things? All of that has disappeared now in favour of hatches, Others and statues with four toes. It's interesting and all, but I feel like they didn't really have direction in the beginning and are now pulling all this crap out of their asses to make an interesting story.

I want to know what was up with that 'Adam & Eve' that the Losties found in the beginning! I want more Sayid! (They got rid of him for about 10 episodes in the middle there. : ( Shame.) I want them to focus less on backstory and tying-all-the-characters-to-one-another, and more on the actual story of the island, of the Others if you must, of the Losties themselves, of all the Losties who we haven't seen yet but are always there in the background.

That would be awesome. This feels like I'm watching a show where the writers have just discovered they have another 2 seasons booked and are now trying to stretch their content and come up with crazy stunts to fill the time. Four-toed statues? As if they didn't have enough content to go off of already – black smoke, mechanical security system, the French woman and her daughter, Fake Henry and his troop of Others, the various hatches, electromagnetism, Claire, Charlie and the baby, not to mention all the Losties who have not yet been looked at. But no. They had to introduce another element to the show – a four-toed statue!

I'll still watch, because I'm a sucker for punishment like that, but geez. I've gone from watching it because it was interesting, to watching it because I need to see an ending. The show is completely absurd!
