A few open letters to the writers of some of my favorite shows….because seriously, it has to be done, for their sake, and the sake of my sanity!
Dear Lost creators/writers/executive producers, et.al:
I used to be under the impression that, more than any other show, I would follow your thoughts, creative ideas, general “what the heck” storylines, etc., to any night, time, channel, etc. At the end of Season 1, I was your number one fan, spending at least a half hour a day chatting with someone about what everything meant. And I was still kind of that way during Season 2….not as much, because I, like many, cannot stand Michele Rodriguez. It wasn’t that I couldn’t stand her because she was on your show, because she was a “Tailie” and I felt they served minimal purpose….I just couldn’t stand her. Even the small glimpse we got of her at the end of Season 1 got me a bit worried about seeing her in Season 2. I’m all for female empowerment (I supported any and all “Girl Power” movements of the late 90s….go on Spice Girls!), but seriously, she was too strong. She overpowered everything, overacted everything, etc. But I’m getting off topic. What I’m saying to you, Lost writers, is that I want my Season 1 back. Hell, I even want my “Tailie” Season 2 back. Long story short, I’ve grown accustomed to being un-wowed by Season 3, and I’m learning to accept that I’m never going to get any answers, but I, like the 8 million viewers you’ve lost since Season 1, am starting to get bored and a little “done with Lost”. It saddens me, because I used to love it so, but think about it….
There might still be hope,
Amrie
