Lost Update – The Seinfeld Syndrome

Season III
Lost Secrets Revealed 10/13/2006

A leading Grassy Knoll Institute scientist has splintered away from the Virtual Reality theory pertaining to ABC’s television program “Lost” and has formulated his own. He aptly calls it “The Seinfeld Syndrome.”
As you may recall, the Jerry Seinfeld show was a show about nothing. They sort of made it up as they went along. As cast members and storylines became more popular, those were featured more. Hence, as the theory goes, the same can be said about ABC’s Lost.

The creators of Lost filmed a pilot episode, then 12 more episodes, and then finally completed a season. In these episodes are the seeds to branch off in an infinite amount of scenario’s. There are approximately 2500 working Lost theories out there and it’s all caused by the ambiguous story lines of the Lost creators.

So, how does this work. Very easy. The writers plan out a very intricate season one. Then, they simply watch the ratings and the message board buzz about each character and plot line. The more popular character and story, the more air time they will receive and hence the storyline will shift to accommodate said characters. This cannot be true right? Well, here is your evidence.

Case in point. Shannon and Boone. A brother and sister in an incestuous relationship. The viewers and religious groups frowned upon this and very quickly Boone was killed off and Shannon was soon to follow. Not a good storyline, not enough good ratings, bad buzz from the media, and poof, they are gone.

Next up is Ana Lucia and Libby. Both actresses, Michelle Rodriquez and Cynthia Watros were pulled over by Hawaiian police for drunk driving. On the same exact night. At almost the same hour, only minutes from each other. And what happens to both of them? That’s right! both of them get shot and killed almost at the same exact time at the end of season two.

The invisible monster. We see it, err, hear it in the first couple of episodes. The Internet buzz was that the monster was making the show unbelievable and more of a Sci-Fi show. What happens to the monster? That’s right! It is not heard of for a few episodes and then appears as smoke, a less threatening less sci-Fi “Forbidden Planet” type of entity.

And nobody liked the school teacher. He played with dynamite and whammo, he is dead and gone.

And why do you think Jack, Sawyer, and Kate were the ones chosen by the “Others” to be brought to their camp? because they are the three most popular characters on the show. If perchance Claire, or Sayid, or Rose were the more popular characters during season two, then they would be in the bear cage and wearing the frilly sun dress instead.

The writers are using the viewers interest, the media hype, and the Internet message boards and blogs to write the show for them. It is a total interaction between viewer and network. Your vote counts and determines the outcome and storyline of the show. If more people want to see Kate and Sawyer get together, then they will. if they want Jack to get some of that action, then it will be Jack.

we say what happens to the characters on Lost. We change the course of the storyline. Be careful how you reply to Lost communities for the writers are listening and taking notes.

And here is the test to this theory. Mr. Ecko just got in a little hot water with the Hawaiian police last month. Depending on the charges if any, and its outcome, then Mr. Ecko as was the case with Ana and Libby, should be leaving the show.

I just hope to God that the series finale doesn’t have them all being arrested and thrown in jail. That was a terrible ending.
