The new heroes S1E19 "0.7%"is back and took me nearly 6 hours to download it. After 40 minutes' watching, I have to wait again.
I am sick of waiting...

Lost in "lost"
I have been lost in "lost", the ABC TV series, for 3 days. Now I have watched Season 1 and most of Season 2,when it suddenly strike me that I don't want to watch any more.

Season 1 was great, and I even watched it for 24 hours straight! But in the middle of S2, the frequent flashback begins to annoy me, the plot begins to seem like a mess.

Now I'd like to summarize some points that I think may be annoying to the audience:
1)The flashbacks!!! When in S1, the flashbacks are great, they reveal the history of the main characters and imply their actions afterwards. But in Season 2, they become something the viewers would rather to jump over, their function seems more like to make up for the 45 minutes.
2)The whole series seem more and more like a fatalism lecture: everything happens for a reason, and everybody must abey their fate and do things according to it. This is obviously in the behaviors of Lock, who trust his fate so wildly that he indirectly caused the death of Boorn. And also, he believe the button should be pressed every 108 minutes which turned out to be a joke! Fatalism can not only be found in Lock himself, but also the whole island, full of monsters, 'The others', attacks and miseries. SO what happens in the island is like, things happen, and you can't do anything about it: you can never know where you are in the next minute, either in a monster's stomach or in a armchair listening to Mozart! What you can do now is just, feed yourself (Herly), find something to fix(Jack),or help other survivors…
3)People change. Not only the crew change rapidly, but also the character of the protagonists. For one day, the fatalism guy, Lock, was like a genius leading us, solving the problems, for another day, he change into a idiot show his 'Mona Lisa's smile', totally confused with the fight with Jack over the leadership of the survivors, I mean, how can a Saint believing and seeing everything ahead can do that? And Kate, the girl who seems to get hooked up with Jack in the very beginning of the series, suddenly become the only one to understand James, the cute and mean guy hooking rich men's wives before the crash, and seems to have a crush with him, too. Obviously, the screenwriter would like to arrange a triangle love so they have another season to run!
4)What the hell is this drama? Fiction? Science Fiction? Who knows…
They are still seeing figures that should never be there and hearing whispers in the jungle, and most amazingly, believing them.
Now I am totally lost with 'lost'!
