I'd just like to thank the ****ing morons at Memphis' shittiest news/weather team (They're truly worthless; if there's severe weather, you can be damn sure I'll be tuned to 3 or 5, or maybe even 13, but 24/30? Hah.) for breaking in for TWO GODDAMN MINUTES at the end of the ****ing show to announce a severe thunderstorm warning had been issued for a county in Arkansas on the fringe of the viewing area. Lord knows they couldn't have placed an alert on the bottom of the screen for it rather than destroy the ending of the show.
I could understand if it had been some huge severe weather event, but this was a line of medium-strength storms heading into the area and one of them happened to be severe, and they said absolutely nothing about it that couldn't have been conveyed via the ever-handy popup images on the screen during the show. It's even more frustrating considering the fact that I've only now gotten around to watching it.
As Talisman (?) so eloquently said, tape-delayed weathermen save no one.
It cut from Boone being thrust onto the table thing and Kate being sent for towels to Locke in the hospital bed post-surgery and his mother looking sad. I had already basically guessed what would happen, so it didn't surprise me that he'd be upset, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
