This sinister permeation is more than enough to convince me that Lost cannot be a good thing, and is indeed evil. To my mind anything that has its' popularity driven by a hidden propaganda machine- an 'organ of evil' if you will- should be regarded with suspicion. Call it paranoia if you want, my doctor did, but not before he told me about the latest episode!
Lost has never appealed to me. Maybe it's because of the shows' sales pitch in which a lack of subtlety was and continues to be a major theme. Tropical island + hot babes + grizzly men = appalling TV.
I've even sat down and watched a bit of the ridiculous spinning storyline which has obviously grown beyond the control of its' writers in a Frankensteinesque manner. However it seems that I am completely wrong. My friends and acquaintances are constantly arguing its' merits, to the point where they become frustrated, angry and dismissive. These mood swings only serve to make me back away further as they are obvious signs of brainwashing. Lack of coherent argument but extreme conviction means that once thinking individuals have become the minions of the 'organ of evil', with a dead look in their eye and the mantra on their tongue,"have you seen the new episode of Lost?".
Most worryingly it's spreading. Now when I'm watching T.V I see adverts in which main characters tell me "I never allow myself to look tired". In another I see one promoting cologne, etc. Why are they so muscly? Why do they never look tired? Because they are robots. Stubbly gruff robots here to make a TV empire; but I will not fall. Until I absolutely need to know what's going on and go into a Lost binge wasting a lot of money for what?To fill the empty hole inside, because ultimately like you dear reader and everyone else, I'm a robot too.
