As you can probably tell, we’re scraping around for content this week. Monday was a holiday here in the States and once the week starts out weird it’s hard to get it back to normal. At any rate, our old friend Steve Frizzle has written a fantastic rant against Zombie Simpsons. In it, he comes up with a fantastic way of explaining it that I can’t believe has never occurred to me:
Secondly, at least Lost has the good grace to end when it needs to, instead of trapsing around the floor like a the wounded guard from Monty Python and the Holy Grail attempting to convince us that he is alright.
Excellent. There’s more, including a brief list of episodes – just since Season 16! – that were far stupider than any Lost plot twist. Also, it gives me an excuse to embed this:
My favorite part is when Graham Chapman gets kicked in the head.

One of the cool things about Lost’s run was that it was always planned to end at the 6th season (something about 100 episodes? I’m not a crazy Lost fan like I used to be, haha) because it didn’t want to go on and on like the X-Files did.
OT: The Simpsons are like having a shitty house guest who also happens to be Mahatma Gandhi. Sure, they can’t take the hint that it’s time to leave, but you can’t exactly kick them out. They’ve made some very important to contributions society- hey! Would it kill you to use a coaster, Mahatma? This is oak, man. Jesus.
…meant to put quotes around that; sorry.
Another point about that chalk board gag (which I’m taking from a thread Rich Uncle Skeleton made at NoHomers) is that it makes no sense for Bart to be writing it. He’s meant to be writing on the board as a punishment so stuff like “The end of Lost was all the dogs dream” and “Have a great summer everybody” make no sense. They’re just sentences which have no relationship to Bart. In the good old days they did it properly: “I will not defame New Orleans”. That was quick commentary on something that had happened that week but they actually wrote it as if Bart was being punished, so it worked. Off topic: I’m a sad, obssessive Lost fan, and I loved the finale. So there.
I haven’t seen Lost – I keep meaning to check it out, though – but this rant is on to something.
