Now I am a huge LOST fan currently holding my own record for not missing even one episode this season. I particularly like Desmond Hume and (the late) Ana Lucia over the major characters because they were so intense as well as good looking, in no particular order. I love the way the show springs one surprise after another, ultimately keeping the viewers on their feet. Apparently, the actors themselves dont know whats coming next, is what I read long time back. For me, the creators of LOST were super-genius personified.

Therefore I was unpleasantly reminded that the infallible creators were after all only human post-last night’s episode. One con-couple apparently fight over 8 million dollars worth diamonds and the female (of the species which is supposedly more deadly than the male) poisons the poor dude with a Medusa spider. The guy’s supposed to be paralyzed for 8 hours or so while she can search for the diamonds, which she knows he is hiding from her.

Unfortunately, she also gets bitten by the same spider and is also paralyzed. Apparently the effect of the poison slows down one’s heart rate and its almost impossible for even a doctor to detect the heartbeat of the paralyzed person. The rest of the people proceed to bury them at which time the female’s eyes flash open just when the dirt covers her body - effectively burying them both alive.

LOST or a poorly produced, cheap thriller? I didnt like the episode at all no matter how gruesomely the couple had to die in the script. Hope the next one turns our better than this one.
