Fine, I can buy that the dude turned a wheel and made the island disappear, but are we supposed to forget that babies need food? I mean, Aaron is a 5-month-old breastfed baby whose mother “died” or whatever and he’s been wandering around with Kate’s milkless jugs for 2 days or something like that without so much as a whimper? Come the f*ck on. And they’re not even going to do us the courtesy of saying, “Gee, Jack, maybe we should grab some Dharma Initiative human milk substitute and chuck it down the kid’s throat.” I was so distracted by the baby’s apparent lack of hunger and the fact that they weren’t even addressing the issue that I couldn’t even enjoy the finale. Am I alone in this? Don’t tell me, I’m supposed to chalk it up to the mystical fanciness of the island. I call bullshit. I call sci-fi cop-out bullshit.

And how did a kid with skin that fair not burn all to hell on the freaking life raft? Damn Lost.

That’s why I only watch edifying television, like Masterpiece, Nova and Ugly Betty. No willing suspension of disbelief required. No ma’am, not at all.

yeah! I thought about this for the last 15 minutes…I was pissed!

Dawn, us fair skin people must think alike. The first thing that came to my mind when they got in that raft was man they are going to get burned, maybe they could make a canopy out of their clothes to avoid getting sun burned.

And that is why I simply don’t watch t.v. Except for the National Spelling Bee, now that was some worthy entertainment!

Does LOST ever show anyone eating? Except maybe Hurley, LOST doesn’t ever take time to show mealtimes.

Liz, Lost does show people in the kitchen area cutting up fruit and fish and opening boxes or cans of stuff. In fact, Miles got in trouble for eating from a can of nuts in the finale. At least we know how the adults are being fed, which they didn’t even address with the baby.

Well, thanks a hairy hoohah. Now, you’ve gone and ruined it for me. Up til now I have believed every single happening on LOST. I believed when the paralyzed guy started walking and nobody remembered he had been able to do so on the plane or in the airport. I believed it when the dying lady’s cancer went into remission. I totally bought the time-travel stuff and the idea that dead folks routinely have chats with the living. I was sooooo with them that a gray cloud of smoke could roar and chew people up. I even bought into the idea that a guy like Ben Linus can be an action-adventure character.
But now, thanks to you, its over. I will have to give it up now for… well … for LOST. Don’t even try to coax me back to that show. It’s LOST cause. I mean, I must have truly LOST my mind to have gotten so ensnared by it to begin with.
