Lost TV show (Season 6) -- includes spoilers on show nights

Lava Lamp Freak said:
If it was a 2 hour movie, I would react completely different than a TV series I've invested 100+ hours in over a 6 year period. Alas, life goes on. Doesn't change the fact that the show hasn't been resolved, and since it is over, it never will be.

And as far as the reactions of those of us who aren't happy: you appear be different, but there are quite a few people in the world, including myself, who actually get into books and movies, and feel emotion and connections to the characters through them. Having a poorly resolved ending feels like a kick in the ass.



Well, I for one am with you. The church scene invalidated everything that happened in the last 2 seasons -- well, really the whole show. It was all just pointless. A teacher once told me that he reads the last page of a book before he'll read the whole thing. If he doesn't like the ending he won't even bother reading the book. If LOST was a book, no one would read it due to the bad ending.

Completely agree. I'm in it for the story, if I knew there wasn't a well thought out plot I would have never put up with the bad acting, cliché dialogue, and horrible theme music.

Okay you're not the first person to say this, but you're the only one I can find to quote.

How does the ending invalidate everything? If it invalidates anything at all, it would only be the flash-sideways sequences. EVERYTHING ELSE in the ENTIRE series actually happened (except for the obvious dream sequences, of course).

Gee, thanks for pointing out that Lost is just a TV show. :rolleyes:

That's what I've been saying all along. Everyone else acts like they've been stabbed with a thousand knives because they didn't like the ending. "I wasted six years of my life"...etc. Ridiculous. Get over it.

In their defense, they expected more. I myself feel like I could've watched the first season, the two-hour summary and the last season and skipped almost everything in-between and been little the worse for it.

As for getting over it, the same could be said for the show's defenders. Please don't take (not you specifically, lee) criticism of Lost as an attack on Mom, Apple Pie and the Flag. It is just a TV show, not unassailable Holy Writ.

And in that light, and an attempt to add a little levity to a way-too-heavy topic, I'd like to present:

The Top Ten Things You May Not Have Noticed on Lost:

  1. Hurley has the strange ability to spend month after month running around a steamy island and not lose a single pound.
  2. Anyone who goes back to an island like this is certifiably insane.
  3. Pretty much everything from season 2 to season 5 doesn't mean anything. (Oh, wait, that's not a joke.)
  4. Ironically, before the airlines cut back, the island was Quantas' international hub.
  5. In the original plotline, as the series went on, the episodes were to revolve more and more around evil castaway Benjamin Linus, the boy Walt, and a wisecracking robot.
  6. In the pilot, Oceanic made Hurley pay for three seats.
  7. Though it was never mentioned in the series, the name of the island was Kooeykooeykooey.
  8. The Surgeon General has determined that second-hand smoke from John Locke is bad for your health.
  9. Widmore lives on a yellow submarine. (Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.)
  10. The font used in the opening credits is called Obscure Bull**** Sans Serif.
 
Hmm, bunch of religious gobbledygook and melodrama in lieu of an actual ending?
I should have known better than to invest this much time into a network TV show.
 
There IS going to be a spin-off.
It's called "FOUND- The Theories"

The story line revolves around The Others,The "other" Others. The "real" natives and various people that have not found the light or serenity.
 
Lost Finale Had 107 Commercials: More Than 45 Minutes Worth

ABC packed roughly 107 spots — or more than 45 minutes of commercial and promotional time — into the two-and-a-half-hour Lost series finale, according to our (very unscientific but pretty reliable) count. Just when the finale would unveil a major plot point, a break would occur featuring anywhere from five to 11 ads and/or sneak peeks for fall shows on ABC. Granted, some of the spots were extremely clever (Target used images of the island’s smoke monster to peddle fire detectors) but numerous, nonetheless

Actually I didn't care for the ads. They just didn't answer all the questions they posed. They felt like... a cop out. I could have just watched the last 5 seconds and gotten the same out of it. I had a whole 30 seconds invested in this and I was disappointed. I should have known better than to invest so much emotionally into a network television commercial. ;)

I exhaled sharply through my nose and grinned (not quite an LOL).

So fitting. I love it.

All that was missing in the commercials was John Locke or Christian Shephard hawking those coffins that Walmart is selling now....

LOL YES. Start with that scene where they drop Locke's dead body out of the coffin onto the beach. Cut to "we not carry quailty coffins, target." XD
