Somewhere LOST got lost...

You know watching LOST this season has been a real disappointment.  I'm hanging in til the grande finale cause I've watched the show all these years, so I might as well see the end.  But when it changed from being a possibly reasonable mystery (I liked the whole nuclear bomb under the isle theory) to the now good vs. evil strictly out-there supernatural stuff, the show lost a lot of its credibility with me.

This week's episode was the kicker.  I mean so a completely bonkers woman killed off another pregnant woman after she gave birth to twin boys.  She then kept the boys as her own because she wanted one of them to "guard the light" of the island.  And she constantly lied to both boys: the supposedly "good" twin believed her always and the supposedly "bad" twin did not; yet honestly the "good" twin wound up being rather close-minded and almost as nuts as his adoptive mother.

Let's say I'm less than impressed with this scenario and even less impressed with Jacob (the supposedly "good" twin) after these revelations.  The woman was a complete box of crackers and only the "evil" twin got it.  My response is bully for Mr. Evil man-in-black, and as for Jacob, kid you should have gone and gotten yourself a real life while you still had a chance to do so.

Ah well.  We'll see what's in store in the grande finale, but frankly I'm not too hopeful the ending of this series will be all that satisfying.  I suspect it will end with Jack left to "guard the light" on the stupid island and everyone else wandering back to their real lives, whatever version of those lives (since they have given us two different versions for everyone) the writers decide they like best.
