i agree completely with harold, and the other guy about how story lines are swept under the rug. like the tail section story-that was so great, and i loved ana lucia and mr eko and look what has happened, all those episodes might as well not have existed…and YES i think there is something to say for how poorly they deal with black characters on the show, but not just black….several characters have had lame exits that felt unnatural, forced…..all this is something the cuse/lindeloff have drove me crazy with, as big a landmark as the series is, it hurts to not really have a character to root for and when you do have them killed like that….i bet they wont kill off kate or sawyer or hurley…no the writers are kind of cowards in regard to the characters, cant kill off the popular ones, well im getting tired of those sam eold group off characters…and when on earth are lame ones like desmond and juliet gonna die??????????…………..

@ Jason – I think it’s difficult to say they kept on the fence. Who knows what was and was not discussed. I’m just saying in light of the other actors who have been killed, nobody has had much negative to say except for Harold and I think he maybe set his expectations up too high. If that is the case, then he shouldn’t blame the writers or the creators. That’s all I’m saying.

@Mike – I probably should have worded my comment a little better. I wasn’t trying to say that Lost isn’t “great” simply that I feel there are a few little things that keep it from being “truly great” as in the best it could possibly be. Of course, it isn’t over yet, so I’m not ready to crown it anything at this juncture. It could tie up everything in a pretty little bow that makes me eat all of my words or it could end with the dumbest explanation we’ve ever heard of.

@All – I think Harold has a right to be a little miffed. I don’t think he’s taking it too far. Questions were asked and questions were answered. They kept the guy on the fence about whether or not he even had a job for over a season and then they bring him back and get his hopes up that he’s going to be a part of the family again and that his character will matter only to kill him off without giving his character any kind of closure. I think he has some good points. Now, if he keeps complaining about it over and over for days and weeks on end…then I would be more inclined to say it’s just sour grapes.

Yeah – just sad to see. But, I guess every party has its pooper and he is their’s…

Sour grapes is a good way to describe it.

I mean, so many other people died before him, including a big one in the first season, and he didn’t whine this much

Whatever…sounds like sour grapes to me. Dude has been apart of one of the best TV shows to ever grace the small screen and he is going to be bitter about it. I think he needs to get over himself and be grateful for being a part of the cast. And I don’t think that they have been stereotypical on the show either – Rose and Bernard are together and still alive, even though they may have a smaller role for the next two seasons.

Yeah, I don’t know how confident I would be in my future if it only included a summer movie with Stephen Dorff.

As for the Walt/Michael storyline, it seems to make sense that it would go unresolved (at least at this stage) because all of the characters on this show have issues with their Dads. Why should Walt be the exception?

very interesting. he’s acting like he knows the final act of michael and walt’s story and i doubt this was the complete end. i’m sure the writers will reconcile it all somehow. he just is sounding bitter.
and a stephen dorff name drop…wow. there’s one i haven’t heard about in awhile!
