Lost

[shipperx]

Still reeling from last night's ep.  (Which is good.  I may need it when the Buffy crackfest wank rolls around).  LOST last night was the great kind of awesome awful.   They ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and yet still left me hopeful that it will all work out in the end (and not in a desperate plea that maybe, somehow Joss Whedon will pull a crackfest out of the fire in the 11th hour [I'm not holding my breath.  At this point I just expect the awful with no awesome]). 

Anyway, I hee'd over the TWOP recap of last night's LOST because of this: 

...nothing, nothing is all right right now, and I have a feeling that will remain par for the course until the finale on May 23. I hate you, Darlton. I hate your freaking sadistic guts!

And the recapper rates the episode an A+ 

Heh.

I think genre fans are willing masochists. :)

LOST has been my S8 crackfest antidote for a long time now. It's been a bastion of good storytelling in a world turned upside down.

I think genre fans are willing masochists. :) LOL! Yes, absolutely! But masochist for masochism's sake, or for a really "neat" trick that someone wrote a story around? Or a masochist in order to be taught a lesson about how to be a proper fan? Nooooooooooo. I think not.

Mr. Whedon, you have your work cut out for you. I think you can do it, but you're gonna have to make me believe it.

I'm going to miss Lost something awful.

I think it's easier to be a willing masochist when the genre in question rips your heart out for a good, thematically important reason, and no matter the plot twists and turns, you still feel like you're not being jerked around just because it has shock value (did someone mention Whedon?).
