LOST — Page 22

Indeed...5am alarm call for...Which is only 30 mins before the kids start to wake up....

Although I'm pretty sure I'm going into work feeling a little let down by it all...Oh well, was still the best show on TV for years, at least I have the memories! ;)

I'm all sad going into work now....

I put my thoughts on my blog:

http://doubleofive.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/lost-thoughts-the-end/

Overall, its not what I thought I wanted, but it was emotionally satisfying.

005- I think you've put it well there.  Logically and mentally (aren't they the same) it made no sense and didn't deliver any resolution...

But emotionally it seemed good.  Maybe it was all the slow piano.  Actually, it was probably all of the flashbacks to when the show was intriguing and good.  It was really nice to see everyone back together again.  You know, like the ending of Grease.

The episode should have been called, "Live Together.  Die Alone.  Live Together."

Actually, it should been called, "Jacob, apparently, is a retarded man-child who was jealous of his unnamed brother that he got to create the rules for a pebble-based strategy game that washed up on the shore of the island they mysteriously live on so he created the most insane rules ever to guard a secret cave with the meaning of life in it and the rules didn't even do that because his brother or the smoke monster whatever guy still put Desmond down there which he could have done 7 episodes ago if he had wanted and speaking of Desmond he was disappointed he didn't die and go to a better place when he pulled the drain on the island and I was like So as long as you get to go to Heaven screw the rest of the Losties and screw the rest of humanity and screw you xhonzi!  Screw you most of all! eh Desmond?"

Or "Screw you xhonzi" for short.

I liked the teaser that Hurley can change the rules of the Island now that he is the Protector. I wonder what fun the Island is now? "The Adventures of Hurley and Ben: Protectors of The Island" is a show I'd watch constantly. We'd know how it ends (they die and go to Alt2004 until they meet up with the other Losties), but who knows how many hundreds of years they could have lived on the Island, never aging?

I think Hurley would probably turn it into a Mr. Clucks franchise.  Or theme park.  Or both.

Although I can't speak to the accuracy of this title, I'm a big fan of it.

 Yes, the quotes are a little misplaced, aren't they?

I'm imagining it just like Fantasy Island.

"Come to Hugo's Fantasy Island, where all of your dreams come true! See the light that all men crave! Explore the ruins of an unknown Egyptian civilization! Discover the answers! Spin the donkey wheel and see where you end up!

Appearing in an ocean near you!"

Try the chicken!

Actually, I'm hoping he uses the island to make a remake of Return of the Jedi.

Wow, I used to be so into this show, and now the finale has passed me by without me even realizing it. Just now I realized it came on yesterday. Maybe I will get around to watching it sometime this week. I think I have an episode or two before the finale to catch up on as well.

From the comments here, it sounds like it turned out pretty awful though.

Mediocre, but strangely satisfying. I don't think having an end date helped the show like they said it would. It just let them take longer at getting to the end.

The perfect end for me would be last season's finale with some shots from this season's Alt opening with the Losties getting off the plane with no idea what they missed. Everything erased.

Yeah, it's too bad that Lost got cancelled near the end of Season 5 and they had to rush that ending to Season 5.  I guess we'll never know how awesome Lost Season 6 might have been...

It's just like those Star Wars prequels they were talking about making.  MAN!  How AWESOME would they have been?!?!?!?

LOL, nice.

I liked it, but the show never lived up to the potential that I thought it had.

Well, that is what seems to happen to all television shows that start out smart and gritty.  Networks get involved and demand that the show needs to keep the story telling at around 4th grade level, so they can sell more soap. 

Seems to me that it happened to "LOST" half way through season two. The show became a very popular water-cooler chit-chat topic at workplaces around this time. And, it was about this same time they started dumbing   down the scripts and it got much more sappy.  

FF

I thought Seasons 4 and 5 had some of the most mind-bendy, 4th-grade-unfriendly storylines ever. 

I think they were teasing mysteries they themselves didn't have answers for.  It was the only way to have mysteries the audience couldn't accurately solve... because THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS! 

I had a friend who espoused the theory last season that Locke wasn't Locke, but the smoke monster in the shape of Locke.

I laughed.

For every question, there is a theory, you just have to pick your favorite at this point.

For those of you who feel you still have so many unanswered....

Not a terrible idea, Boost. Not terrible at all.

Did any of you see the alternate ending I heard they had made?

Is there a real one? I saw the Jimmy Kimmel ones.
