Red Right Hand: THE NUMBER$ ARE BAD

THE NUMBER$ ARE BAD

Yeah, I still like Lost for the most part. I don't care if they have a so-called plan or not because, for the most part, when stuff comes to light it fits together like there was a plan. Some episodes do suck, yes. Some don't. Some are a lot of fun.



Today, ABC is putting up a series of webisodes, ostensibly as a means of providing some video crack to the Lost-addicted. It's new stuff, featuring the main cast (not castaway #38) and specially shot for this purpose (as opposed to being deleted scenes).

And you're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm going to watch them.

And yes, I have linked to it, but you know what...DON'T CLICK IT. Not today.

The biggest sticking point of the writer's strike is about this stuff and the fact that they don't get paid for them, either to write them or a piece of ad-based revenue. While I don't know for sure that the writer didn't get paid to write these 'sodes, I don't imagine that the attitude Universal has taken with regards to The Office and Battlestar Galactica content isn't pervasive (Don't you hate when people use double-negatives intentionally).

And if Lindelof isn't using this time to finish Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk , then...I don't know.



This sucks.

I don't watch Lost anyway. It stopped being a good show when Charlie was resuscitated after being hung.

I made a decision over the weekend to stop linking to studio and network sites and not watch anything online through them either.

I actually yelled at my roommate because I left my laptop out and he started watching The Office. No more. Not for awhile, anyway.

Amen. Also, sign the petition that says we're not going to click. I link to it from yesterday's post.

mb - two reasons for the link, 1. I suppose I'm sort of weird about always linking to something if there's something to link to, getting the most out of html and 2. seeing who clicks anyway in the stats.

j-good on ya

eb- done it!
