I love TWIN PEAKS and Madchen Amick, but LOST is no where near flying off the rails like TP did in the second season. Not even close.

Alan,
Ah, Twin Peaks, man. That brings back happy memories of a teenage crush on Madchen Amick. Good show, too.

HP – you’re right. My chart needs updating. Additionally, Kate’s father, Wayne, spoke to her through the covelescing Sawyer. There may be one or two more I’ve missed.

Lots of telepathic/hallucinatory experiences on the island. Not to mention the fact that the Monster appears to be a floating psychic cloud (that alternates between engaging people in staring contests and ripping them limb-from-limb).

Didn’t Ana-Lucia appear in an Eko vision?

I’m with Matt. Lost has lost its way. Remember that Dharma-branded shark circling Lost Island? I’m afraid the Losties are getting ready to jump it. Season 3 of Lost is starting to feel a bit like Season 2 of Twin Peaks: too many characters, not enough answers, too much weird-for-weird’s sake. Of course, despite its many, many faults, I still thoroughly enjoy Season Two of Twin Peaks. I hope I’ll be able to say the same for Lost.

I use comments like that to flush out my enemies. Beware!

Indeed. The Yankees’ choke in the ALCS will always bring a smile to my lips and a mist to my eyes.

By the way, it must be said that using the Red Sox win in the World Series as a plot element was far beyond the typical brand of television cruelty. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s inhumane.

Dude! That was the best moment in television this season so far! How perfectly that was used. and it brought back some good, fond memories.

Maybe we’ve been expecting LOST to explain things when in fact the LOST writers have no intention of ever explaining anything. They can just keep on expanding the questions we have, getting weirder and weirder – five seasons later we’ll wake up mad and all of American society will implode.

I don’t know… Lost just isn’t doing it for me anymore. Polar Bears? Lame. Hated the idea the first time. Those goofy puffs of white Polar Bear hair that Locke, that expert hunter/tracker, found? Cheese.

Next weeks preview “Do you love him?!?!” Lame.

Too many stories going on at the same time. Too many characters.

Desmond’s naked? The hatch imploded? It just feels like the plot strands are spinning out of control.
