Yeah, man, I just didn't see it that way. I found it playful. I didn't see Ben as snooty. The Dharma guys are a little bumbling, but it read as more caught off guard and confused than dumb to me.
Fans all have a right to their own reactions. You're right. They don't owe Darlton allegience or praise or anything of the sort. Especially if they don't genuinely feel it. However most of them (and not you, to your credit) seem to be demanding one for the other. These fans feel they are owed something for their investment. Then again, the show created and fostered that. It made itself available, accessible and open to imagination. There was bound to be disappointment. The polar reaction to S6 does not surprise me. Nor does the luke warm/mixed reception of "The New Man In Charge." I get it. I just don't agree. I felt it was a great dessert to compliment an excellent meal. |

I've followed Damon on Twitter since probably March. He's still a condescending dick and constantly mocks the fans in tweets in regards to new films and TV shows.

My critical assessment of the critical assessments: Clearly Reaper17 self-identifies with bumbling goofs more strongly than Red Brooklyn does.*

Must say, I wouldn't have believed you if you told me a few years, heck A year, back how little I miss Lost.
Or if I did believe you, I'd have stopped watching right then. I'd analogize it to showing the SB, and in the last 5 minutes it's announced that the scores will not count and both teams get a participation medal.

I don't miss it quite as much as I'd expected either. But that's only because I was so completely satisfied with the conclusion. I know I'll revisit the series many, many times. But I'm in no hurry.

I'm insulted that you had to footnote your joke.

And I have the answer for each and every question about Lost. If someone's freaking out asking 'what going on here'
I simply say, 'it's a television show, nothing more nothing less' But what about xxxx? 'it's part of a television plotline' But what does it mean about yyyy? 'it means that the creators thought you musing about the effect of xxxx on yyyy would be compelling television.'
