Lost can be a really stupid show at times. First you have David Copperfield playing the role of some guy who doesn't age. When asked a question that might enlighten viewers from crazy-man Jack, he just says 'Nope, not going to say yet'. The problem with this constant stonewalling by the events in the show is that it makes no sense.

It's as if the show has no confidence in the underlying truths that will supposedly reveal themselves at some point, and if they lost the mystery they'd have nothing left. Or maybe that's what I think. No that's DEFINITELY what I think.

The show has Linus attempting to blackmail a principle to get his job. He has 30 emails showing an affair that happened on school grounds. The principle is married and willing to give up his job to save the embarassment. However, he turns the tables on Linus by saying he won't give a recommendation to Yale for some snot nose bimbo that Linus likes.

a. Who cares.
b. She'd be fine anyways.
c. It's not called blackmail because the two sides get to negotiate a trade. If realistic, the principle would have done whatever Linus wanted, including a recommendation, give up his job, and give Linus the biggest wettest gay blowjob he could ever wish for.

Oh but there's more. David Copperfield wants crazy Jack to off him by lighting dynamite. Crazy Jack lights dynamite. Then crazy Jack tells David that he doesn't think either of them will die because he must have some purpose on the island. That's convenient. How many people have died on the island already, and didn't they all have a purpose as well? Idiotic. I expected David to get scared that a candidate would die and pull out the fuse. He didn't. Instead, the dynamite's fuse just went out before exploding.

FREAKING RETARDED. If everything is fatalistically determined, then what exactly hangs in the balance? If every time someone with a purpose left is saved from harm by divine intervention, then the show is pointless.

You know what the best part of this season is? Every time a character that we would assume knows something we don't is put on the hot seat, we find out that they know absolutely nothing except 'Jacob touched me/told me to sit at this desk/told me he had a plan'.

Jack: So wait, let me get this straight, you've been on this island alive longer than anyone else, and you have no idea what's going on?

Copperfield: Newp. But I do like to say vague things that sound like I do!

Turtles all the way down.
