You know, I love Lost. I do. But last night highlighted some of my biggest pet peeves about the show.

1. "This is my episode, and it's *still* all about Jack." -- That quote from cleolinda's recaps describes way too many episodes from this season. Jack is not bad in small doses, away from Kate and with a sense of humor. Of course, the problem is that that hardly ever happens. And I'm sick of so many of everybody else's problems drifting into Jack and his fucking daddy issues.

2. "That's Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Lay Onna Pile Of Origami the Third. But you can call me Kate." -- Let's say that Kate had never become a character on the show. And let's say that someone had come along and put her on the island and had her do every single thing she's done so far. We would hate that story. In fact, we wouldn't only hate that story, we would find out their address and go to their house specifically to smacks them upside the head.

3. "C ... C ... C ... C ..." -- Okay, all the mystery's been fun, but I'd like some answers now. No, seriously. I know it's the end of the season and we'll be getting something soon, but honestly ... where Ethan came from, where Alex went to, what Claire forgot, what the fuck that radio transmission came from. I'll take anything at this point.

4. "We're on a tropical paradise. Why do we have to leave, exactly?" -- They've been on this island a month and all they've done is build a raft (and a half) and occasionally play with a radio. Speaking as someone who reads up on waaaaay too many disasters, these people are definitely not trying hard enough to get home.

5. "Hi, I'm Claire, and this is my baby, Sam Joe Pete Mickey Vladimir Ping Whale Blubber Series of Clicks No Name." -- Okay, that's more a fandom thing, but I read enough C/C fanfiction to be incredibly tired of the authors having to make up a million, kajillion names for the kid. I just wish she'd named the little bugger last night. (In a related vein, she's not naming the kid Boone. Seriously. Please stop saying she has to just because he died. Because God knows, that wouldn't be confusing considering he's probably going to be back in flashbacks. And speaking as someone who has three Richies, two Eddies, two Johnnies, and three Jimmys in the family, naming kids after other people you're going to see or mention on a regular basis is annoying.)

6. "... and this is Walt, and this is Michael, and this is Jin, and over there is thirty extras." -- Go on, you can introduce some of them. We won't mind.

7. "We're being chased by a giant monster? Hey, I remember this one time, when the screen went hazy and we cut away to me and somebody else watching Jurassic Park ..." -- You know, sometimes I like the flashbacks, and sometimes I loathe the flashbacks. For example, when they seem to not have a damn thing in common with what's going on on the island other than they contain a castaway and he's maybe wearing the same outfit or something. I guess you could say this relates to the no-answers complaint.

So, anybody else feel the need to vent?

Except for the baby's name, I think the other points are somewhat related. After all, most of the flashbacks that made no sense (and were boring as hell) are about Jake. We can't be bother with the other characters because Jack and Kate are sooo good together, and they can solve all the problems of the world. *shivers*

I still don't understand why I should be sympathetic to a woman who must have committed a very serious federal offense, and by her own admission, robbed banks and killed people she loved. I'm starting to see the value of the death penalty where Kate is concerned.

Exactly. Sawyer's done the same sort of stuff, but he also heard his mother being murdered and saw his father shoot himself in the head. Kate might have an excuse of that level, but I've had yet to hear it and because of it, I have absolutely no sympathy for her at this point.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get several episodes about how she was TRICKED and FOOLED into committing ALL THOSE THINGS! Innocent I tell you!!
