LOST...........Several Hours Of My Bastard Life
As you may or may not know, or care, RTE last night screened the last in the current series of popular drama show LOST. For those of you unfamilar with the show the story revolves around a group of air craft crash survivors marooned on a mysterious island where strange shit goes down. LOST finished it's second series last night and that's the story......after two fucking years that's all we have....people....island.....mysterious.
Let me further tell you about the format of LOST. As an American show, and a popular one at that, it's literally soaked with ads. On a fifty minute slot on RTE there are three ads totalling fifteen minutes and then there's the five minute recap of everything that has happened up until this moment at the start of each show, this is for the ever shortening attention span of the factory fodder that view this show. So for your fifty minute slot you get approximately thirty five minutes of new material.
As I've said before nothing happens in this show. For the last two series the creators have padded out twenty four episodes by recapping every characters life story in flash back, each one less interesting than the last. Add into the mix a mysterious hatch, a button that must be pressed regularly and a bunch of people who don't like the crash victims, an ever growing group by the way. So last night was the Season Finale, and what a piece of shit it was. For those of you who haven't seen it and don't want to know the ending rest assured, nothing happened last night for me to tell you about. Suffice to say it was probably THE biggest television cop out since Bobby came out of the shower. And to think, we only have another seven series to go to find out what the fuck is going on!!!!!
Having said that I will be joining the cast of LOST in series 3 for a special cameo appearance. I will play Kate's romantic interest for two epsiodes culminating in me killing Jack with a sledge hammer and then shagging off back to the Others. Here's a still from the early rushes.....
