September 2, 2006. Another beautiful day in paradise. Remember when The Lost experience was interesting? Well I sure do. Back when we were searching for hidden clues on the Hanso Foundation website. Back when the main character was a clever hacker, not some wanna-be who can't even hide a video on the world wide web. I mean, c'mon! This was fun once! What happened! I liked it when I felt like I was helping someone who had potentially Been caught in some cruel experiment. The game used to feel so real to me that I had nightmares about it. But since then it has slowly drifted from 'awesome' into somewhere near the 'suck' range. Helping out DJ Dan was still rebellious, but couldn't top Persephone. Helping out Rachel didn't really seem like it would be good, and I was right. What's the fun in helping an attention seeking woman who got fired from her job and decided to take her rage (and her severance package) out on Hanso? Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, her comes the Apollo bar. What is supposed to be a mind-altering drug is now given out for free to anyone who wants one. Even those who just like dark chocolate. I wonder why all the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were so happy, because this sucks. This isn't real to me anymore. I can't have nightmares about Willy Wonka (unless you count Johnny Depp's interpretation, but not for TLE). I can't go all the way out to NYC to have my picture posted on a sight where apparently more Apollo bars = location of Alvar Hanso (who I think was murdered). I can only wait until the next phase comes out. I imagine we'll have to send in videos of us doing an exotic dance in a specified location, such as a major city or a bath tub with clawed feet. More videos equals more clues to DJ Dan's location! I sincerely hope that the writers do a better job with LOST Season 3, because it's a great show. Remember, don't judge a book by its viral marketing campaign. I have just one last thing to say to the writers of lost, next summer, get 4orty 2wo to do the work for you. Or at least make it interesting the whole way through. Have a nice day.
