R.I.P Lost 2004-2010

[Loop Stricken]

Well...

... that sucked.

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

And nothing of value was... Lost!

Ah sorry, couldn't help myself...

 

[The Real Sandman]

I don't know how people could even watch LOST.

It had a great premise, yes, but the acting and writing were below sub-par, the characters were unintersting archetypes, and the whole thing was utterly stuffed plot holes.

I watched the first 15 or so episodes and then parts the second and thrid season. After that I completely lost interrest (no pun intended...slightly).

You have GOT to be shitting me. So it was all a 'oh this person is really dead/dying' thing!? I thought they promised fans that this wasn't the case! I gave up at series 4, it just got too confusing but that's a terrible ending, what a shame.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Now can someone tell me without spoiling anything...

"Was I right, that someone Woke up and it was a dream?"

Calumon: Did the big monster thing wake up?

It was not that.
Tagball was not paying attention.

You where wrong

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

I do not agree that is what happened.
I love that it was built so that neither one of us is wrong.

I personally liked how it ended and have similar interpretations to those posting above. I wanted it to be more about Desmond and less about Jack, but Jack grew on me towards the end. I felt genuinely sad when it ended (didn't tear up, of course, being the manly man I am) and will miss being mind-fucked weekly.

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?

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.

Sorry, didn't mean to come off as such a dick. It's just kind of getting on my nerves that people keep insisting that the entire show was just a dream. It's pretty clear from what Christian says to Jack that the island was real, and not some figment of the Losties' imaginations. ("I'm real, you're real, everything that has ever happened to you is real, all those people in the church, they're real.")

Also, I know that what was going on in the flash sideways is open to interpretation, but it seemed fairly clear (to me at least) that the alternate universe was effectively purgatory. After each of the Losties died, whether on the island, off the island, or a thousand years in the future, they went there, as the crash and their time together was the most important time of their lives, and needed to be able to remember and find each other to move on.

I'm not saying it's a perfect ending, and there are a few holes, but I don't think it's as bad as everyone says. Unless you didn't like the show to begin with, in which case, why even care?

 

[Elesar]

Bye bye Lost.
Don't come back.

 

[PurpleSky]

THE MADNESS HAS FINALLY ENDED.I don't think people will ever watch Lost in the future,as a classical,it was good but it was mainly a trap to keep you coming back to see it.I saw a few sequences,but got bored when I realized what I was trying to understand was Lost.

 

[Thedutchjelle]

TBH I never watched it, but I guess fans of the show will miss it.

Just wait 10 years and then there will probably a sequel or something

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

Meh I say. Meh!
I never enjoyed the show.
I watched a few episodes but stopped since it annoyed me how it just kept coming up with ideas but no reason for their occurances.
Good riddance to Lost. I'm surprised anyone stuck with it for six seasons.
On another note, I hate how they did recounts for previous episodes.

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

.......[small] Mine too[/small].....

 

[Delusibeta]

While I never watched it, I have heard how it ended.

Spoiler: And here's my thoughts

COP OUT.

 

[Dark Sup3rn0va]

I stopped watching Lost after the first season, and even then, in my opinion, it was just average. It managed to go completly downhill after that. As I understand it, there are still lots of plotholes in it, that are never going to be answered. If I was a fan that would just annoy me.

Prequel. Sooner.

 

[Bagaloo]

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

The whole show was about Jacob's Ladder. Jack was going to die and he hallucinates everything. Perfect. OR you could say that the alternate universe was purgatory. I suppose the writers saved the whole "purgatory" idea for the last season.

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.

Spoiler

What do you mean by "Jacob's Ladder"?

I found the whole series enjoyable to watch, but there are still a lot of open questions at the end. Like, what was the deal with the numbers? Or the shark which had some sort of logo branded onto it?

Ah well, was fun while it lasted.

 

[fenrizz]

Amen to that, brother!

I liked the first season, but then the entire series went straight in the crapper.

 

[GrinningManiac]

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?

Never watched the show...but it seems that

[HEADING=1] IT WAS ALL A DREEEEEEEAAAM!...[/HEADING]

 

[superbatranger]

I was really into Lost at first, but after a while I just lost interest and couldn't watch it again.
