That explains why I've not been watching Lost lately. I used to like Locke A LOT, but this season seems wildly out of character for him - or at least - for the Locke I'd built up.
You aren't alone. I'm watching, but I more or less roll my eyes and zone out. Personally, I haven't liked Locke since he found that stupid-ass hatch. But, Locke has just gotten more and more out of character. For goodness sake even Terry O'Quinn hates the way Locke is this season.
I think - it started going downhill once Shannon died. Just - We had Boone go, and to have the brother and sister (step, whatever.) be the people to die... just seemed... too convienient. It felt to me like they didn't want to, or weren't able to come up with anything for Shannon to do. Which is sad, because I felt that she was becoming a really interesting character in those episodes before she died.
I think it started going down with the first three episodes, because it was the same scenes for three hours! However, Shannon's death really bothered me. I thought it was pretty cheap to kill her off. I heard they did it because the writers or whoever and Maggie Grace were having contract issues. I bit it was because she read for X3.
And Jin and Sun, along with Charlie and Claire - always have my full attention on screen. I care about their stories - but Jack? I think Jack is a whining monkey-child. It sounds bad, but honestly. I am not a Jack fan. at all.
Agreed. The people that are interesting and well liked by fans get no screen time or real development, while the same three people (Kate, Locke, and Jack) take all the screen time. And yet, Evie Lilly has said she's unhappy that Kate isn't getting enough screen time? WTF Evie, Kate is on every week?
What is going on on that island? 'Cause those writers and actors are all going crazy and getting pissed.
