It’s a TV show. THAT’S why this video is funny.

Only the insecure bash when they feel threatened.

Which is why this thread is stupid.

“Hey, these people have never watched the most complex show on television and they have no idea what they’re talking about while being shown random clips from the first five seasons! Lets make fun of them!”

Haven’t you ever tried to explain LOST to someone who’s never watched it?

“Uh… Ya, these people crash on this island and there’s a smoke monster and a polar bear and then there are these other people who already lived on the island. Then there turns out to be all of these research stations and one of them has a computer that controls the release of a massive amount of electromagnetism. They end up blowing up that station, which causes the start of time travel on the show. But it’s not really time travel, it’s consciousness travel, you know what I mean? Oh and then there are these other people that come to the island, and they’re bad, and to save the island from them, it has to be moved. What? Ya, the island has to be moved. So they move the island. What? Ya, I said they move the island. Why is that so hard to believe? Where does it go? No idea… It’s not stupid! Shut up! It’s the best show ever! You just don’t understand!”

Get the picture?

JUST kidding.

Seriously, was the video supposed to be funny? Cause it wasn’t really even if you try to take it that way. And if it’s serious, it’s pretty sad that newsweek dudes spent all that time putting it together just to complain.

I know it was SUPPOSED to be deadpan humor, but they are clearly not in grasp of the concept.

I think we know who’s the mental midget here.

I’m embarrassed to be a fan of the same show as you.

I mean It’s still a interesting show to watch if you’re watching it purely for the mystery storyline (which is what I’m doing), but if you’re watching it for the characters then I wouldn’t hope for much because they are so bland and cliche. Nothing like the LOST characters in terms of character progression and backstory development. The mysteries take importance over the characters on FF which is obviously not the case on LOST. LOST is great because of the characters first, and the mysteries second.

It’s not just the casting, Fandango1, that they got horribly wrong which LOST got right. The characters are so bland and dull (a bunch of boring FBI agents and surgeons) and there is practically no character development. The characters are what make LOST – not the mysteries. If the LOST characters were rubbish then the mysteries wouldn’t matter or mean much. That’s what FLASHFORWARD doesn’t seem to understand. It doesn’t matter how interesting a mystery you have – if you have bland characters that nobody can identify with, nobody will care about your mysteries/story.

I tuned off after the third episode when they had a whole episode about some Nazi prisoner who apparently knew why the blackout lasted 137 seconds, but turned out he was just playing the FBI agents so he could be released.

But anyways, there’s my feeling on the show.

Just like me, I am not going to watch Gossip Girl…. sorry… no interest in it.

Lighten up dudes (and dudettes)!
