List Day: 10 Ways to Know that a LOST Episode Will Disappoint

1. A large portion of episode is spent wandering through the jungle towards a clear goal, but the group deviates at the last minute to pursue a different goal instead.


2. A battle occurs, and both sides have enough guns to found a militia.


3. Someone else gets shot, and the Giacchino motive for "You'd better care about this" plays in the background.


4. You pull out your laptop during a commercial break, and don't notice that the show has come back on.


5. A submarine dives and/or surfaces, but never travels in a horizontal direction.


6. Jack tries to fix something (other than a sandwich).


7. Jack and/or Sawyer do something retarded because Kate is threatened.


8. Half of the episode is devoted to character building in an alternate reality which will probably disappear into irrelevance by the end of the show.


9. A character repeatedly shouts, "They took my  X !", where X is either "boy" or "husband".


10. Plot development is furthered through edgy and nonsensical dream sequences (also applies to HBO shows).
