I watch Red River tonight. It certainly shows its wrinkly age. It’s one of a great bunch of old westerns in which the characters don’t so much speak to each other as they think out loud so that we understand everything before and after it happens. Lurking within, though, is a dark and beautiful Coppolan masterpiece. I don’t even care if someone

i enjoy the flashbacks. they make me care about the characters. i want to know how locke was paralyzed and how hurley ended up in the institution (and why libby was there with him) [yes, i know someone died when a deck collapsed when he stepped on it, but why did he go crazy enough to be placed there]. i think it adds a diminsion to the show that's more than "hey, look at this crazy island"
staying on the hydra island that long was annoying, but the mystery of the situation has to be unraveled somehow. although it was more exciting when there was just this mysterious faction of others killing, eventually the show has to answer some questions.
there's only suppose to be two more seasons and maybe a movie. if that will actually happen or not, who knows, but i'm hopeful. i'd like to see a definite end.

i recommend going lostpedia and browsing. it points out things that you wouldn't necessarily notice and explains connections between all the happenings. while i sometimes i want to kick myself for reading spoilers (i can't resist), overall it makes my lost experience more enjoyable. it lets me think about the show in a deeper way than superficially watching every week.
