Keep it simple, stupid
Sawyer has it right.
For those of you living under a rock and have never heard of the KISS principle, well, it’s pretty “simple.” What does this have to do with Lost, you ask? I was snooping around the net today and came across this blog that has listed all the real and fake links that are in regard to the Lost Experience (TLE).
I am a lost fan (duh) and I enjoy the art of trying to figure out what is going on. But this TLE is just too much. The community of discussion seemed so pure up until now but ABC is killing it’s organic fan base with this barrage of information they are throwing at us this summer. I guess if you are a hermit living in front of your computer and your pale pasty fingers haven’t seen the sunshine in months then sure, this Experience is keeping you going. However, for the rest of us we are begging you ABC people, get back to the basics.
Ah, but you say that this show is anything *but* simple. It’s like this: say you are a painter and you are about to complete the best piece of your life. You’ve spent weeks carefully crafting this art. You decide to just add one more thing to the side. Then, that piece throws of the balance so you add a bit more. Before you know it you are elbow deep in a mess of paint and the work is all but ruined. Same for this show. The ABC money machine needs to back off and let the story unfold as it has been for the past two seasons.
