So you do agree that having good taste isn't simply a matter of liking some good stuff after all?
Awesome.
Yes, let's think in absolutes!
Dude. I was simply saying taste was a matter of discernment, not of how many critically acclaimed titles you like.
And I'm not the one who claimed to have "awesome taste", here, remember?
I don't even know that I'd argue I have particularly good taste, when it comes to fiction. I'm working on it. At the very least, I can tell Lost was pointless, pretentious, inconsistent nonsense, but that's admittedly setting the bar fairly low...
"Egyptians" seems like a fair bet. "Why" and "how" would be more critical questions.
I mean, it's a fucking giant statue. Presumably old. Do you think our main characters could build something like that? Or like the temple, for that matter?
Sorry, but yeah, the existence of that statue and that temple raises quite a few questions. My first thought, when I saw that foot? "Hey, couldn't that mean that the island wasn't always a forsaken island? Or not always just an island?"
But of course, you can't expect the Lost showrunners to actually think about all that: they were just throwing random "intriguing" shit at the wall.
(Isabel who? Latin what? hippie Others whuh? ankhs whah?)
Yeah, who cares about this stupid "world-building" stuff?
I should try and raise a Tolkien golem, someday. Blood would flow.
