LOST 403, VDOV.NET GROUPIE
Has anyone watched the Lost episode from last week? I think Teebs did if his away messages are any indication. They went back to the whole flash-forward thing again. I may be in the minority here but generally I like the idea of flash-forwards. I think they added a lot to episode 401. This episode was a complete wash though. They focused way too much on Sayid in the future and seemed to, once again, just randomly introduce ridiculous plot lines (with the whole Ben Linus boss thing in the future) that can’t possibly all be resolved no matter how long the show goes on. And, most importantly, they sacrificed any significant development on the island for this new crap in the future. Lame.
On an unrelated note, I was talking with afischer tonight about some random things and brought up my previous ‘Gmsh’ post. He said mostly what I expected … that is, “no one will remotely care about Gmsh”, but then said (paraphrasing), “no, I bet there is some ridiculous vdov.net groupie out there somewhere who feverishly anticipates anything new that comes onto the site”. I replied, “yeah, there may be, but I’m pretty sure if I met this person I would likely hate him/her … what does that say about vdov.net?”.
Nothing good, that’s for sure. Ha!
It was much more than that… I said “no one will remotely care about anything you do”
Its different
ha … db.
The flash-forward haters are going to need to get used to it, cause it’s here to stay; the flashbacks are over. Season 4 is all about slowly revealing the Oceanic 6. It’s going to be a painful, drawn out process with nothing worthwhile actually happening on the island. Except for moving from the beach to some hatch, then to some nondescript location in the forest, then back to some other hatch. And probably some guns. The Oceanic 6: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Claire (and Aaron, doesn’t that count as a person?) and Juliette. Of course these are just my predictions and nobody will probably pay much attention to this either. Sorry my only comments on the site are about Lost but a) it gets me worked up and b) the science stuff is way over my head.
I guess I agree and disagree. I’m quite sure the flash-forwards are here to stay and I’m not really opposed to that … I even like it … but to sacrifice any real development on the island seems odd to me.
I get this very odd feeling from this type of development that I’m going to be disappointed at the end of the season/show in exactly the same way that the Heroes finale from season 1 sucked so bad. Or at least I thought it did.
Yeah, I’m sure there will be SOMETHING happening on the island. I’m just a Lost pessimist, even though I’m obsessed and can’t wait for the next episode.
oh and what is the Gmsh post?
the post just before this one yesterday on “rediscovering great software”. i really loved working in gmsh recently and i had initially discarded it because of various problems a year ago … but it’s been basically reinvented solving all my previous problems and it’s a joy to work with.
The other point is that there is really no point in speculating on anything related to Lost. All of that speculation has already been done for you… by the power of the internet.
