Basically, I've been a hopelessly devoted fan of the show, although not one that tries to shove it down your throat or berate you for not being an avid viewer such as myself (because, omg, how annoying are those people?!).
I'm kinda over LOST at this point, though, now that we're a few episodes into the last season. I know there are a ton of questions finally being answered, but it's a bit "too little, too late" for me at this point. I've gotten to a place where most of the characters are so completely annoying, I just want them to die so I can run away with Miles and Locke and live happily ever after in some fun spin-off land.
The show has become, in my humble opinion, a bad parody of itself. As a person who prides herself on being an open book, the lack of even primitive communication between the main characters is something I can't look past, and as a writer myself, the giant holes this lack of basic communication leaves is infuriating.
At this point, LOST has become an excuse for me to go over to my brother and sister-in-law's house on Tuesday nights, period. Themselves being avid viewers as well, I'll text them every Tuesday morning inquiring as to whether or not they'd like company that evening, bribing them with In N Out and freshly baked cupcakes.
Why do I go to all this trouble, just to drive 40 minutes and watch a show that irritates me more than it entertains me? One reason:
My nephew, Micah
He squirms and fidgets in my arms as I coo quietly at him and stare into his huge, searching eyes. I don't know much 'bout babies, especially newborns, but he's the most mellow little dude you could ever imagine. He doesn't ever cry while I hold him, even though I'm constantly rousing him so that I can stare at him from a different angle - moving his arms about and petting his little keppe. He smiled at me for the first time last night...although it could have been gas, to be perfectly honest.
As much as I hate the show and the ridiculous direction of the plot, this last season of LOST will go down as my favorite season of all.

Although I didn't watch LOST from the beginning (picked up in season 3 or 4 I think, after watching seasons 1 and 2 in a matter of days), I too am kind of over it, and will be glad when it's over. Certain characters have just started to bug me more and more, and I just want them gone.
only 10 more episodes - you can do it!
ps your nephew is absolutely adorable! his cute pics almost make me want to have one of my own.
4 8 15 16 23 42 = 108
4 8 15 16 23 = 66
4 + 2 = 6
= 666
i need a baby for this season of lost! i love it, too, but wtf with this season??? it is driving me crazy. i hate this evil locke/claire/sayid thing that is going on.
grrrr.
I tried and tried and blah blah to get into LOST but I cannot. It always seemed like the stupidest show ever. I like stupid shows sometimes. But it just... did not work for me.
I've never watched an episode of Lost in my life. I remember all the Lost hype when I was living in SF too but I didn't get any TV stations (and didn't really have any friends to watch it with). I feel like it's way too late to get into it as there are other shows I want to watch first. I always got annoyed at the Lost hype- not because of the people being into it but because I never knew what they were talking about and I like being in the know!! :)
Also, your little nephew looks so precious. What a cutie. I must say, most newbie smiles are due to gas but that doesn't make them any less cute. I remember whenever Rhys had a gas smile I'd convince myself that it was a REAL GENUINE HAPPY SMILE that time. Now that he actually does smile, I understand the difference.
While I'm still totally into the show (b/c I would just not be able to take it if I invested all this time and didn't care about the ending), I'm with you on the annoyance level the show has reached. I feel like the most obvious of questions aren't being asked in moments that are BEGGING for them to be asked. It's pretty obnoxious.
Dude, other people's kids are the cutest and most awesome of all kids. B/c you can love them and play with them and smile at them until your cheeks feel like they're going to fall off...then you can give them back and go off on your merry way. =) Micah is quite the cutie, too.
Considering I don't get the intrigue of LOST at all?
Best LOST post EVER.
