My Take on "Lost"

I really enjoy "Lost." I love the character development, but in the past I have expressed displeasure about some of the odder twists the plot has taken. Every time I express this point of view someone shouts me down with the old "suspension of disbelief" argument.

DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN LAST WEEK'S EPISODE!

My contention is that while most things that happen on the island are impossible, they CAN happen in the alternate reality of the island, or they are at least cool and entertaining and further the storyline. One storyline I absolutely despised was when Boone and Shannon slept together. I thought that was stupid. This week I thought it was stupid that Kate sees horses, and stupider that Sawyer can see them too, seemingly because the horse was actually there.
Now here's how you test it out. When she saw the horse for the first time were you dying to know what was behind it? No, you were completely uninterested, maybe you said to yourself "hmm, that was weird."
But when Eko started telling the parable of the book, ending with him revealing that he found an extra film clip, you were dying to know what the clip showed. I almost fast forwarded to the scene when Eko and Locke watched the extra clip.
That's the difference between a cool twist, and a stupid one.
I am looking forward to tonight's episode because I hope we find out where Walt is. I think they took him to summer camp where he is allowed to use computers, roam the island and go boating and participate in tug of war just as long as his bunk is clean and his bed is made.
