  Lost was perfect.

  It was every bit as bad as I expected. I want the polar bear to eat each and everyone of them. Nobody is good, nobody is bad, nobody is lost, nobody is found, nobody is right, nobody is wrong, nobody cares.

  Dead people come back to life by the island? The island is Jesus? Flashbacks, Flashforwards, dropped plotlines, random plotlines and backstories and future stories that tell me i should change the channel before I fall asleep.

  Why should JJ bother with a story, a script, an idea or characterisation? Cloverfield doesn't require a brain to watch and from now on, neither will Lost. Come to think of it, what exactly was the last season about anyway?

  All I know is that everyone looks pretty well off and good looking for being castaways and I think Hurley is spending too much time at the buffet.

  The whole thing is getting way too stupid. Why parachute if you have a helicopter? Why did Charlie shut the door and stay in that room while it flooded instead of running out? Why does a dead guy come back to life, grab a grenade, jump in the water and swim outside to detonate the grenade outside of the room where Charlie is? Wouldn't it have made more sense to skip the swim? Why hold the grenade until it explodes? Is that some metaphor about Iraq? I don't give them that much credit.

  A bunch of people doing stupid irrational things that make no sense, scaring people and killing people over nothing - sounds like the national meme.

  NBC should buy back "Passions" and run it head to head against Lost. It makes more sense.
