Saying a single instance is generic and reducing everything you see to archetypes is not the same thing. So the point sailed over your head.

None of that really deals with the point I'm making and is just more subtle 'stop watching' trolling. no offence but I'm yawning here.

I don't know, at the time I didn't see it like that. I never thought Rick was trapped. I thought ' Rick's plan is fucked what is he going to do?' This answered it rather succinctly. You might say too succinctly but really, did we need a scene of him bailing out the RV and running? I thought the way they did it was…

I don't actually care what you - as a randomer on the internet,possibly engaging in trolling - have to say about anything I write. I'm really sorry if my critique of this show upsets you but thems the breaks in the big boy world..

But you see, Lindelof has gone to great lengths before this season to make sure people know that there won't be any answers to the ''great mystery'' of the Sudden Departure. So any and all in show efforts to explain it are going to be largely irrelevant, if not downright distracting or even diminishing of what is…

It can't really. your reductionism sucks ass not to mention the life out of stories. I'm not being reductionist. The Sudden Departure doesn't have the same impact on Nora's story cos Nora's story is generic in a way that Laurie and Tommy avoids.

But the Sudden Departure doesn't impinge on the story of nora in the same way that it does for Laurie and Tommy. You can reduce Tommy and Laurie down to the estranged mother and son try to work it out. But the whole Sudden Departure gives it a unique inflection.

The short answer is no. However, the point is that Nora's story doesn't particularly need the Sudden Departure for it to be told. It could just be about a woman who lost her children in an accident or a fire.

You not liking my points doesn't equal me trolling. i know thats the stupid person definition of trolling but hey, what do I expect. Go on now tell me I haven't got over LOST, it's the only troll response I need for this weeks troll bingo full house…

'stop watching blablahblah'

Yep, hilariously bad.

It's really a case of style over substance; something Lindelof has perfected. Like without the 'cray-cray' atmospherics Nora's story is just generic. Well acted, well shot, well scripted but still the substance is generic.

kinda like you.

I don't hate watch. I just get trolled with the same bullshit every week which is boring so I have a short attention span, see below comment.

Right, sorry I was a bit harsh. If you stopped watching S1 then S2 is not going to be much better. It's more of the same abstract, pretentious stuff from S1 but refined a little bit so its appears to be tighter. All the 'raving' is just that either literally crazy people or hype.

Go away you are more boring than watching already dried paint.

This is a running event every week. I have been pointing it out since the start (with the exception of last week cos I actually enjoyed the ep).

i really wouldn't bother. Don't believe the hype.

I hate to break it to you but that whole scientist thing/the demon Azrael explanation is put in purely to troll the audience. It's nothing deeper than Lindelof laughing at people.

It's very romeo and juliet….. *groan*
