LOST – Too Much Review, Not Enough New

Tonight was finally the beginning of the end of LOST (according to the Powers That Be) so I was hoping for at least what the many, frequent commercials promised. However, instead of the scenes they’ve been previewing for weeks now, it still felt more like review than new. (And yes, I know the first hour WAS a review show – I’m talking about the “all new episode” we’ve all been waiting for that was shown as the 2nd hour.)
They’re getting a lot like soap operas it seems – taking one plot point and stretching it out until it screams (or we do)…
The commercials have been showing what are probably scenes from the next 3-4 episodes, not just the next one, which drives me crazy because I keep waiting for certain things to happen and then suddenly you find youself watching the end credits and now you have to wait another week to see if those promised scenes will finally happen then. I miss the “good old days” when teasers/previews actually reflected what you would be seeing next and only that, piecing out cliffhangers that were pertinent.
I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who didn’t catch it tonight so I won’t go into what finally happened and what is still coming. Just felt like venting over network advertising practices.
