Oh, Stranger is one of my all-time worsts because the Jack backstory about his tattoo was so effin' ludicrous. And it's one that fandom had already satisfactorily ficced many, may times so that the canon version was seriously, seriously lacking. Plus: BAI LING. (I barely remember the on-island stuff from that ep, other than Jack in a a cage and Juliet being branded.) I think I'm more prone to judge an ep based on the backstories.

I don't mind Eggtown, so much, but The Incident I truly, truly loathe.

I think I'd forgotten how bad it was. I was skimming the transcript last night, thinking, Oh, so that's when Locke turned into a psychopath.

I wasn't voting earlier but ... this, I can't help it! *g* Expose is so much more awful and useless than The Incident I can't even believe it's a contest.

edited for my inability to read, lol cynthia_arrow August 19 2009, 20:49:43 UTC

I think Expose is way worse, too. Absolute WTFery. Although "The Incident" was pretty stinky, in its own way.

Welcome to the cranky party. :)

I think it's going to come down to Stranger vs. Special. Two truly awful eps! The only thing I like about Stranger is that we got some shirtless-in-bed Jack to manip with more worthy partners than Bai Ling!

cynthia_arrow August 19 2009, 20:48:47 UTC

It can't ultimately come down to Stranger v. Special -- they'll be in the same bracket next round.

Yeah, I try to remember Jack!Sex, how happy we were about that. But the tattoo story...of all the dumb bullshit mysticism the show has given us, that was one of the worst, because we were asked to accept it as realistic!

BAI LING WAS JUST SO BAD.

Ahh, got it. Well, looks like The Incident is (bizarrely) losing. I'll have to stick with 'Stranger' then as the all-time low by the looks of things, although Expose will probably win. (And I'm okay with that.)

cynthia_arrow August 21 2009, 03:19:43 UTC

I'm still so shocked at how badly The Incident is doing in the polls!

Hey, I wouldn't count Stranger out. It's been decisively crushing everything in its path.

I'm probably one of the only Lost viewer who loved Exposé. really. it made me laugh so very much, and not necessarily where I was supposed to. ;)

this is fun :)

I'm probably one of the only Lost viewer who loved Exposé.
No, no - you're not alone! Aside from the fact that it made me squee (and squirm) with laughter at the end, how could I not love an episode that made my brain explode? Seriously, Des eating mango? (*points at icon*) With much gratuitous tongue? *wibble*

cynthia_arrow August 21 2009, 03:18:37 UTC

I think if I'd approached Expose with a different attitude, it would've been fun. I kept hearing it was fun. But I just hated it so much. It was bad enough I forgot about the mango! A tragedy!

halfdutch August 21 2009, 04:26:16 UTC

There was Desmond mango eating?! I hadn't noticed or remembered that either!
