R.I.P Lost 2004-2010

[Tagball]

If you know me,(and chances are, you probably don't) you'd know that I am a huge Lost fanatic. I mention my screwed up love/hate relationship with the show every other post and even have Michael Emerson "Oh my God"-ing away on my avatar. People have devoted 6 years of their life watching this beautiful scam of a show and it's all been leading up to this. Now, the fated night has arrived and the show has finally reached its conclusion....

What did I think.....

Spoiler

Jack perishes and the alternate universe was purgatory. I suppose the writers saved the whole "purgatory" idea for the last season. Awesome.

The show has had ups: The superb and fantastic Desmond, quite possibly the greatest, most resilient television character in history.

The show has also had some grotesque, disgusting, dank, despicable, downright devious downs:
For example, the writers constantly leaving plots dangling...oh yeah....Nikki and Paulo, also.

So, my fellow Escapististizians, post your favorite Lost moment or nerd rage about the fact that the entire show has been about a puff of smoke. Just post something in memory of a show that kept audiences confused for 6 years and will continue to confuse audiences LONG after its demise. That show can only be known as.....LOST.

Alright, I have no idea what happened in this show because I never watched it, but did it end in 'It was all a dream' or something similiar?

Just wondering because that's what your post is indicating to me.

I stopped following the show when they brought in time travel. Jack is poorly written and acted, yet they kept focusing on him, and they systematically killed my favorite characters.
When they killed Locke it was the final nail in the coffin.

But but but it's supposed to be simultaneously broadcast in like 20min! How have people seen it already?!

Yeah, but x broadcasters around the world are showing it at stupid o'clock, when America is meant to show it. Are you saying parts of America itself are seeing it before other parts?

Bloody... gaah! Now I have to flee the internets for spoiler fears.

I remembered when it didn't exist... those were some good times.

SSSHHH....this is a secret..

Spoiler

Yes, they were all dead. It was part of the protagonist Jack's dying experience. That's bullplop.

Just finished watching it a few minutes ago. I was very disappointed with the ending tbh. Anti-climactic and left more questions.

Spoiler

Seriously, who builds an island that runs on a rock-powered battery source?

I just can't believe that ALL of:

Spoiler

the damn events in the show never really existed.....or did they?

That's not what I got from it at all. You could argue that yes, the flash sideways or the ending scene in the church was a dying dream, but that could just as easily be seen as the dead losties literally meeting after their deaths to move on together, andthe events on he island, including Jack's death, were real. Were you even paying attenion?

 

[Quiet Stranger]

My favorite part was when the series ended... Thank god.

I agree with this guy QFT

 

[DividedUnity]

Lost was like that crazy uncle that comes to visit for holidays. Sure his drunken stories are great but after a while its time for him to get lost. The series shoulve ended a while ago. It just got batshit shit crazy

 

[soapyshooter]

I posted this in the other Lost ending thread and I'll post it in every Lost thread

Great way to end it. "To remember, to let go, to move on" It was the ending I guessed 4 years ago. It took them 6 years to show it to us, loved every minute of it. Now a part of my life is no more =(

Thats all I have to say about it. It was a good ride.

Spoiler

This pretty much. They all helped each other "move on" from their miserable lives. They are the most important people to each other. I'd think they'd want to meet before heaven. In a way, Lost chronicles each person's entire life, rather than their time on the island.

Spoiler

Metal's interpretation seems to be the most cohesive given the characters' lines toward the end, though I could see how it could be construed as a sort of Dallas situation.

There's no need to be so hostile....


I don't really know what I thought. There are millions of different interpretations that you could get from the ending.

The alternate universe

Spoiler

probably is Heaven. It just kind of felt like a cop-out. A few people were missing from the main cast, also(Michael, Walt, Mr.Eko). It was kind of weird without them, I don't know why.
