Shut up TWoP people

[charliesmum]

I really enjoy reading the recaps of the shows, but some of the people who post in the forum get on my nerves. I was reading the 'LOST' forum and so many of the posts are bitching about how disappointed they are because it wasn't exactly what they expected. I know that's sort of the point of the whole site, but it is getting on my nerves. I occasionally think I should join there, but then I read all these whining posts from people who totally miss the point, and I change my mind.

My favorite post is this one: I can't believe there was no focus on what happened to poor frickin' Walt! This is a classic JJ season premiere - awesome previous season finale, but focus on the absolute wrong theme in the next season premiere.

Honestly. At the end of the season premiere everyone was whining about how they didn't show us what was in the bloody hatch, so they give us the hatch and now people are whining that it wasn't what they wanted it to be.

The whole point of the show is mystery and suspense. If they didn't give us mystery and suspence it wouldn't be Lost, it would be Gilligan's Island.

Sigh.

So what is in the hatch, anyway? I don't watch the show but I saw about 20 minutes of an episode once and my curiosity was piqued.

I haven't watched the episode yet, so I skimmed and jumped over this post, fearful of spoilers, but I know what you mean about TwoP. I have an unfortunate tendency to absorb other people's complaining, so that characters or plot points that never bothered me, or I never even noticed, then start to bug me too, or at the very least I can't help noting them and thinking of how much people will explode over this or that. It's distracting, and then too often I'd be thinking, "Wow, that was an amazing episode," only to go to the TwoP forums and be brought rudely down from my high. So I had to back off following those forums on shows that I like. (I've never even checked out the Lost forum.) It's true of the recaps to some extent as well, but I can't help reading those because the funny makes up for it!

Well, you do know that every one of them could write a much better script than anyone who actually works for the show, right? *eye roll*

I do like TWoP, and I'm a member, but really--sometimes the comments just drive me insane.

I don't go to message boards about TV shows anymore. They're always full of people who think the show is a democracy and should do what they want it to do. Not just TWOP, and not just Lost, but like all of them.

Tho I am not a Lost watcher,the same thing happens for the show House.The message boards usually have some folks who are "shocked" at the episode,disappointed,etcetc. You just can't please em all,I guess.Hugh Laurie used to visit the official House boards till he saw all the angry posters on there and now he stays away!
