Lostin viimeisen kauden alkaessa…

Salaisuuksien saari se siellä siintää taas. Throwing Thingsillä on mainion epäuskoinen tiivistelmä aiemmista tapahtumista, siis vähän vielä nenäkkäämpi kuin tämä video:

Chicago Tribunen tv-kriitikko Mo Ryan jututti sarjan luojia Carlton Cusea ja Damon Lindelofia kolmiosaisessa jutussa. Puheena eivät niinkään ole juonenkäänteet vaan se, millaisia tarinankerronnallisia tavoitteita vikalle kaudelle asetettiin.

Sitten vaan savuhirviötä odottelemaan.

Miksi kuuluisuus ja julkkikset ovat kiinnostavampia kuin fiktio (Newsweek) – Finally, celebrity possesses suspense that older forms can only manufacture. That's because traditional forms have closure—an ending when you turn the last page or when the lights go up or when the credits roll. But celebrity narratives have no final chapter. We don't know whether Brad and Angelina will stay together or have more children or cheat on one another or decide to join a monastery. We don't know what new revelations will arise about Tiger Woods. We don't even know the truth about Michael Jackson's death yet. We are always awaiting the next installment: the next romance, drug binge, arrest, incarceration, mental breakdown, pregnancy, accident—you name it.
