bonniegrrlDO NOT READ if you want to stay spoiler free....
But click for more if you want to hear why I'm pissed about last night's episode of "Lost" called "?" and the Lost Interactive Game in general ...
First off, the pacing of the show was really slow... And I didn't think they used Libby properly for this most recent episode. I mean, why have her live if all she says is "Michael" and then dies. I really wish she would have told Hurley "Michael shot me." But alas....it's not to be.
I do wonder how the plan on telling her backstory if she's dead, unless she comes back as Hurley's new imaginary pal, like Dave. Regardless, I felt bad for Hurley. He's gonna blame himself for this one. Plus it was seriously his ONLY chance to have sex on the island.
Can I comment again about how much I despise Michael? Not only for murdering two innocent people just to get his Walter back, but man -- shut up and go already. He whines ALL the fucking time. If I was Walter, I'd want another dad. And who the hell is taking care of Walt's dog?
Anyway, he must realize that even if he gets Walter back, and the whole island is rescued, he's still going to jail for two counts of murder, right? So either way he loses his little Wesley Crusher of a son. Which brings me to my next point.. Are we EVER going to find out why Walter is supposedly "special"? Ugh. I keep hearing all these theories that Walter has some sorta paranormal powers. But if by just being an annoying kid who burns rafts because he doesn't wanna go home makes him special.... Then I guess he is.
At least they didn't kill Mr. Eko. He's my favorite character by far and I would have stopped watching if they killed him off.
On a bigger side note, don't bother with the interactive game. It's not giving any clues to the show. It's just a lame attempt to get me to drink Sprite apparently. LAME LAME LAME.
Remember those Hanso Foundation commercials? Well, I THOUGHT it was just to promote http://thehansofoundation.org which was SUPPOSED to be the Lost Interactive game where you could unlock clues to the show by tooling around the site. Well, it was until they aired the same exact commercial with the Sprite trademark on it and have a new URL to visit:
http://www.sublymonal.com
SybLYMONal -- get it -- subliminal but LYMON instead of lemon .. Like the lemon-lime in Sprite. Ugh.
I went to it yesterday BEFORE it aired on the show thinking it was this legit thing and not some ad for Sprite. I should have known when one of the clues was "Obey" as in their tagline "Obey your thirst"
That website looks very much like Sprites new ad campaign. And the Sprite website http://www.douhavetheproof.com/home.do is now very cryptic with tag lines saying: Do you have the proof to prove who you say you are?
And has a countdown clock to the Lost season finale. Meh
So I'm really turned off by the game now. The whole point was for Hanso to look like a legit company, now it's just a front for Sprite... Which I bet the castaways will all be drinking soon in key scenes. Meh.
When I THOUGHT it was legit, I did the puzzle and "Obey" turns into the words "Heir Apparent" which makes me wonder if the Others are grabbing all the kids so they can replace them and their experiments on the island -- with Walter being the new head of it all. But I don't know anymore. And I'm pissed about the whole Sprite thing.
Well at least I didn't read "Bad Twin" yet. For all I know that book is sponsored by Burger King.
Oh a happier note:
Canadian trailer for next week's "Lost"
