Additionally, I'm not calling anyone an idiot. I didn't use those words. The fact that someone can't see plot holes in a movie, TV series or book doesn't negate the fact that they exist. Furthermore, bringing up a totally unrelated film and my opinion of it doesn't have any bearing on the discussion at hand. |

I suppose that's easier than admitting you made a false accusation. Then again, that is your M.O. so I guess I'm OK with it too. At least you're not denying Guru's (accurate) assessment of you talking down to people.

Where did I "talk down" to anyone? By stating "You guys don't get it?" That's talking down? If so, I'm guilty. Talk about touchy. Additionally, you LOVE to debate with anyone with whom disagrees with you or your opinion, yet the person with whom you're debating is referred to as an "egomaniac". THAT makes no sense, whatsoever. |

However, you're the only one I call an "egomaniac". Why? As I explained, for berating and talking down to people for having a different opinion about something no one knows...namely how the show LOST will play out. Glad I could clear that up for you. No, it must just be my addled perceptions because I enjoy debating with people. Dane couldn't possibly be seen as condescending by anyone else.

I don't want to argue.But, when you type condescending remarks like that, some feel the need to defend themselves. Just saying...

Thanks for including my next sentence in that quote.
Excuse me. I didn't realize that my comments on "Lost" would hurt so many people's feelings. When people here don't get the time-travel aspect of this show or totally ignore it then yes, I feel like they're not getting it. Why is that so wrong to point out? Especially after 84 episodes? |

Out of all the posts in this thread, you're the only one who knows what you're talking about. I agree that a lot of people are speculating on stuff inconsistent with what we know to be true, but that doesn't mean that nobody gets it. And, its not that I care about who watches this show more intensely, I also don't happen to agree with your axis mundi theory. I've read other time travel theories that I find more compelling. And I think people would be fine with you pointing out parts of the show you want them to get, but just use some tact. Don't call everyone else ignorant than then be surprised when we're offended.

Again, I apologize for my "choice of words". I really didn't think they'd create such a fervor. It was just an off-the-cuff remark made late at night. |

Finally got around to watching, and that was one really good ep.
I've always enjoyed the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle throughout the series, and I thought it was perfect the way they finally brought Jack and Kate together only to have it fall apart. They need that kind of "girly" soap-opera stuff, because that's the kind of stuff that makes you give a shit about whether the characters live or die. The island's a cool place, but the show would be nothing if Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, Claire and everybody else didn't seem 'real'. |
