Final Lost

So who's watching??  (besides James Ford)  ;D

Nothing like watching 4 1/2 hours of lost

Only a few minutes now!!

I feel like such a nerd getting excited over a network TV show, but this feels like the Super Bowl.

no one post spoilers or anything for walky and the other losties  ;D

I loathe iPad commercials  >:(  and am sick and tired of iPhone commercials  ::)  and think "The Gates" looks horrid….

The Final Episode of Lost was Season One, Episode Six.

Hated their explanation of the flash sideways stuff. Lazy writing.

I thought this season was TERRIBLE.  Completely lost focus of the concept of the entire series.  However, the first 2 hours of the finale were great.  After 11:23, it all fell apart.

i think the flash sideways story had potential, but was little more than a sentimental way to say goodbye to the characters.

This.


The show is/was over regardless, I think it was telling everyone and the world to "let go".

Foruneately I did at least 2 seasons ago. It captured my imagination and no TV show has ever intrigued me for years as much as this did, and apparently, it intrigued me emotionally. I thought it was a great end to a phenomenal show.

I loved it  ;D

I watched the entire show and still have no clue about what happened.

Does anybody have a link for a short, concise, clear plot summary that would shed some light for a dimwit like myself?

This is a great site reading about what the hell happened and what not  ;D

If Lost has taught us anything, it's that the Twin Peak's people had it right ending their show after 2 seasons while the story was still managable. As good as this show was the first 2 seasons, what a terrible, unsatisfying clusterfuck the last 2.

Twin Peaks' creators didn't end their show…it was canceled after a ridiculously uneven second season.  I get your parallel, but its not like they opted for that ending.  Say what you want about Lost's creators, but at least they cared enough about the show to realize that they needed an endpoint to work toward.

Have you ever liked anything? Honestly? It was amazing, and this coming from a rabid fan of hunting for answers and dissecting everything about the show. Yes, I gave up on the show, but it somehow wrapped me right back up in it last night.

It's a tv show, if this really ruined your day and you HATE it, you missed the point. One of the most entertaining things TV has ever given me. Challenging TV > getting answers to really unimportant questions. In my opinion at least.

I loved the show for the first two seasons, then thought the next two were only kind of average. The final two were ultimately epic failures (and ratings agree with me).

I don't feel like "what is the island" is ultimately a minor question. If you started watching this show in the first two seasons you no doubt did it to get answers to two questions: what happens to these people, and what the heck is up with this island. Ultimately, we never got an answer to that second question, at all. And what little bits we did get ultimately make little sense on their face and in many cases openly contradict what we saw in the early seasons.

As for what happens to these people, that's great and all, but ending the show at the end of season 4 seems to work alot better. Some get off, and some don't. Jack realizes the he was wrong on reason vs. faith. It would've cut out the stinker final two seasons. It was just so much fluff and dredging up the same issues again. I don't want to get all fanboy-ish and break down details, but it just left me going "eh."

And as for have I ever liked anything, sorry I don't technologically ejaculate over every hyped thing that comes along like yourself. I like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Big Love, Dexter, In Treatment, ABC Family made-for-teens dramas and Gossip Girl. Oh, and showering daily.

Rhett, EW.com has a lengthy but readable and comprehensive column (pt. 1 about the island world is up now).
