The reluctant viewer

We've read enough recaps of the season finale from uber-fans. This recap from the San Antonio Current caught my eye because it seems to be from someone who seems to enjoy complaining about the show as much as she enjoys watching it:

Though the show’s title has clearly become more of a reference to its audience than its characters as season four closes, it is to the creators’ credit that we are still watching. How does one, exactly, continue to string along the increasingly frustrated and confused for four years and counting? It’s in the pacing of little revelations, for one, even if the big revelation of “What the hell’s going on?” looms in the distance.

And as it turns out, Lost can actually drive you certifiably insane:

Ever since Faraday sent the consciousness of a little white mouse from his cupped hands and into the future, the quantum-theory gobbledygook scrawled across Faraday’s chalkboard has come to resemble the way my Lost thought processes cramp into meaningless knots whenever contemplating the big picture that J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof promised they’ve always had in mind. If only I could be like Sponge Bob when he ordered the little minions in his brain to discard all knowledge of everything except fine dining and breathing. If only I could clear some space, sacrifice whole lines from E.T. and the ability to tie my shoes, maybe then I’d have the capacity to figure it all out.

It's a good read, so check it out here.
