Lost: The Final Season (Premieres Feb. 2)

Ack. Well, you can still get to it from spoilerslost.blogspot.com, I think.

 

I don't get why anyone would want to read about all the upcoming episodes from people who have seen them already rather than actually, you know, watching the episodes. Where's the fun in that?

 

Where's the fun in wanting to know something, but then choosing not to know it when it's out there? I don't know, to each their own.

Knowing what's going to happen has rarely, if ever, spoiled my enjoyment of watching it happen.

 

I'm interested in the story and the way it's told, not just THE ANSWERS! Finding out out Darth Vader is Luke's father is a lot less interesting if you don't see the first four hours leading up to the revelation.

 

Yeah, there's no way I'm jumpin on the spoilers.

Lindelof said something in an audio interview the other day when asked if he could tell the fans one thing about the remaining episodes. It was along the lines of please don't read the spoilers and wait for this show to unfold. You've been patient for so long and there's no reason to not continue that way. It was pretty convincing.

But he didn't have to convince me. I avoid that shit like the plague.

 

I'm with the I don't want to know crowd. That's half the fun of the holy shit moments. So few surprises in life, enjoy the ones you have.

 

Lindelof also said something like being a part of TV history if you watch it all unfold at that moment without any foreknowledge. As I said, very convincing. I'm trying to find the link but don't remember where. It was just him and a phone interview. He just did it like last Wed or Thursday after Ab Aeterno aired.

 

A little off topic from all this discussion: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/LOST-The-Animated-Series/448458

Animated Losties.

 

Those are freakin awesome. Thanks for the link.

 

Sun/Jin episode tonight. It's nice to see them just float right back to another "sideways" flashback after skipping it for an episode. But, then again, where would this show be if the writers didn't do whatever the hell they wanted whenever the hell they wanted?

 

Lindelof said in last week's interview that they knew the fans would need a "break" from the flashsideways and rather something that is completely straight forward - so we got Richard.

 

You know, it would have been nice to be able to read Sun's notes without having some V logo with a clock blocking the words.
