From Heather Havrilesky over at Salon.com. A beautiful, well crafted writer, but I question her taste in television. I mean, why does she even bother with crap like reality television shows, while never once mentioning anything from the BBC or the CBC? She is, however, well versed in television history, and very fond of making obscure references like the "Narm! Narm!" line from Six Feet Under.
The truth is, for someone who thinks "Lost" is wildly overrated, I'm still rallying around it, in part because I think it should gain momentum in its home stretch, in part because I'm curious about how thoroughly the writers will clean up the enormous, unfathomably complicated mess they've made. At this point, it would be pure folly not to stick around and see how all of the loose ends get tied up. Will it be deeply stupid, or reasonably crafty and wise? And why does it seem like most people are either rabid fans, furious at the slightest implication that "Lost" isn't the most brilliant show on the face of the planet, or they're outspoken naysayers who think "Lost" is puerile, empty-headed trash? Discuss among yourselves.
Or, just tell us, do you want the goofy redhead to die of a brain ailment as badly as we do? (And how great would it be if she started gurgling "Narm! Narm!" before she kicked the bucket?)
