How the Lost writers create their storylines
If you watched last night's episode of Lost, you probably have a headache trying to figure everything out. ABC should send bottles of Advil (or better yet, DHARMA ibuprofen) to all of their fans. I actually believe that the show does have a plan and does know where it's going and how the show will end (though I doubt they did at the start of the series - things changed), but here's some more ammo for fans who think they're making it up as they go along, from Jimmy Kimmel Live.

You know, I'd expect a stunt like this from comedians like Kimmel himself doing a sketch but not from the Big Three of the show itself, seems kind of disrespectful to the fan-base, it's awkward. They're trying to show they're regular guys who can laugh at themselves but it doesn't work ... I know, lighten up, but it's that flip attitude I see creeping into the show's storylines lately and it's irritating.

Wow. Just wow. The show's been on FIRE of late, so I'm not sure where you get this "flip" attitude from in the writing each week. Plus, you know, it's *just* a TV show.

Every time you see an episode of Lost be totally flippant with these details and ridiculously self-referecing and reflexive, it'll be written or included by resident jokesters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Those guys seem so impressed with themselves and their writing, they spend more time writing injokes than actually creating a world for the viewers to be 'in'. They're just the self-appointed comedians of the Lost writing staff that are yet to write a pivotal episode. It's just a good rule to only get excited for an episode that's written by Damon and Carlton!

I thought "This Place Is Death" was a stellar episode myself... though, at the end, I was actually shocked to find out it was written by Eddie and Adam. Not sure what that tells.

Well, there are a slightly fewer manatees involved, but the *process* is the same.
