Justice After All…?

June 1st, 2010

Criminal charges have been filed against John Goodman, 46, the owner of the International Polo Club Palm Beach.  He is being charged with DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide.  If convicted, he can face up to 30 years for each charge.  Goodman posted the $100,000 bail and turned over his passport to authorities to negotiate his release for the time being.

The Wilson family has filed a civil suit against Mr. Goodman.  Goodman’s lawyer, Roy Black, had filed a motion to halt the suit until such time as the criminal proceedings had come to a conclusion.  A judge ruled, denying the motion; the civil suit will be moving forward, concurrent with the criminal trial. » Read more: Justice After All…?

The Lousy Last Act of Lost – WARNING: Spoiler Alert

June 1st, 2010

So after all these years of watching the show, each episode maybe providing an answer but raising five more questions, the end finally came a few nights ago.  I anxiously awaited it, thinking – FINALLY!  I might not get the answers to everything, but I should find some satisfying conclusion to explain the flashbackwards, forwards, sideways, diagonal whatever.  And, boy, did I get my answers….

The writers had no clue themselves!  They didn’t HAVE the answers for all the questions they raised, so how could they provide them to us??  Why should I expect the creators and the writers of the show to come up with a better way to wrap the end of the series than with the cliched “they’re all dead” response?  After all, it was only their idea in the first place.  It might have been their idea to introduce dinosaurs (season 1), four-toed statues (season 2), an island that time-travels (season 4), but why should they have to provide explanations that make sense? » Read more: The Lousy Last Act of Lost – WARNING: Spoiler Alert
