I get the feeling that further into the show you get the more fun these videos will be to watch. Seeing someone tear Lost apart is more fun than watching the actual show ever was. Now if only someone would do a similar video series for BSG, number two on the list of shows allowed to get away with unanswered questions and plot holes.

@micronoid I'm actually a lot more forgiving of BSG, since Ron Moore and the others were open from the beginning that they did little forward planning, and in the meantime it gave us lots of great characters and standalone stories, so the mythology wasn't all there was to the show, unlike Lost.

Ryan.

Please, please, please don't make the "We're the good guys, Michael" be a one off joke for only this episode. Just add it to the rest of the series review like you have with the unanswered questions list.

It never gets old laughing at it and is a wonderful middle finger to the show as a whole.

@nektulosnewbie Oh, it's definitely going to be a keeper. I just wish I could have cut the "Michael" part out to make it more generic, but it ends too abruptly that way.

@nektulosnewbie Agree, it is a keeper showing what the show had deteriorated into.

Excellent review, I hope to see you continue these. Love to see how you are getting to the beginning of season three, what I feel was one of the lowest points in the show, and something that in retrospect it never managed to bounce back from. It makes such lovely snark bait. This was the point in the show where many fellow fans started jumping ship when realizing that the writers were winging it. Trying to remember how many bad episodes there were where they were locked in the polar bear cages.

@micronoid Seconding this, I love seeing Lost ripped apart, especially this part of the show, the beginning of season three!

but there the good guys!? O_O?

@Rmlohner Sure BSG was not as bad but its different with a show like Lost, so much of it is bad writing and plot holes with BSG because they did so much right it makes the things they did wrong all the more worse. Everything from the contrived mess they called the final five to that awful ending, to all the other stupid things like the Cylons plans and motivations making no sense at all just like the Others. That they never encountered any other alien life during their travels through space.
