The Laughing Wolf

Lost Has Lost Me

Okay, I admit I have been enjoying the television show Lost, possibly for some of the wrong reasons. Mmmmmmm. Nice lingere on a nice body; Mira Furlan as a guest star; and, some quirkiness that reminds me a lot of Twin Peaks.

Well, that quirkiness was almost enough in some respects to kill the show from the start, and has kept me from being as strong a fan as some. A good show does not mess with your suspension of disbelief, and this show did seriously tread that ground. The entire accident, and the subsequent scenes on the beach did not work for me as a pilot. The burning of the remnants, full of things needed for survival for alleged health reasons, did not work for me from both a health standpoint and a survival standpoint. Yet, great gams and the possibility of more lingere lured me back.

Problem: No more lingere.

Problem: When the need for an army came up, the so-called leader turned to a cop on the matter, when there was another present who knew about military matters. Hint for the confused: police do not make a good army, and using soldiers as police is a Very Bad Thing.

Problem: Many more items of factual disconnect that boggled my suspension of disbelief.

Then, last week, they had the character of the Iraqi Republican Guard torturer reveal how he became a torturer. It was the evil Americans and the American military (and/or CIA). They made him a torturer in GWI, and that is why he was what he was.

Oh. Give. Me. A. Frelling. Break.

This is the final jumping of the shark for this show. They can show Evangeline nude, naked, or more, and I won't be back.
