I'll be back.
Even the Simpsons took part in the LOST final.
Deci said:Didn't the producers refute somewhere along the line thatthey weren't actually dead or in purgatory or whatever? Way to have literally NO idea what you're doing... seriously..
Deci said:The point was, and I assume most people would understand, is it shouldn't be help up against shows that come on premium channels. It's on the same level of other cable television shows such as... oh I dunno... CSI or something.

Aazealh said:Anyway, I could nitpick on details and point out contradictions and all, but at this point I just don't see... the point. The finale was like I expected it to be, and I guess someone deserves a pat on the back for some of the more inspired symbolism and references. The acting was convincing enough and the music used appropriately. I would say in that regard it was better than I thought it'd be.
Aazealh said:I hope you're aware that both Lost and CSI are among the most successful TV series in the world AND have some of the highest budgets too.
グリフィス said:Disappointing that they couldn't just come up with something in that regard to give us a real climax.
グリフィス said:From the beginning Lost has certainly been impressive for its budget and cinematic quality, even for the deep pockets of network television. I think it might still be the most expensive pilot ever?
Aazealh said:Yeah, but honestly I had long given up on the plot making any kind of sense anyway. It was way too late for that. They discarded all the useless plot pointsand they were right to, because in the end it was literally all just smoke and mirrors. All they had was the viewers' emotional attachment to the characters, and I think they were wise to play it up(Smokey or Desmond's power among other things). But again, it does not redeem the show. Nothing could have at that point.(as opposed to a super showdown between good and evil)
Aazealh said:Possible. I'm not going to check.
グリフィス said:(Flocke went out so lamely after 1000 years or whatever, I just felt bad for him =)
グリフィス said:they didn't spend more time establishing why it was important, like with Jack's character after his awakening to his purpose on the island, it all rang kind of hollow compared to seasons past when the characters' motivations were naturally human, intuitive, and universally understandable.
グリフィス said:I guess it was more important to watch Locke's and Widmore's people aimlessly run around in the jungle to no purpose this season. =)
Aazealh said:There was a certain honesty in it though, since a cheap, random and trivialized mystery hastily turned into a last-second plot twist is all he really ever was. Had no higher purpose aside from the weekly routine, which had no purpose either, and hadn't had any for whole seasons.
Aazealh said:My point exactly, only I'd go further and list all the shit going back to season 3. That's when they should have ended it. It would have been a lot more powerful, relevant, everything. But at the end of season 6, really, I'm just happy Jack didn't turn into white smoke to fight the token, tacked on "evil dude" (only non-name he deserves).
グリフィス said:Yeah, so I'd rather they just made it John Locke.
グリフィス said:Agreed, I'll always think of the season 3 finale as the apex and spiritual end point of the series. Though even the crap in season 3-5 looks good compared to this season. That's what's amazing, not that it was a letdown, we all expected that, but how incredible the fall was. This season would be the worst by any standard, it's like they choked under the pressure of it and ended up trying to do everything and nothing, resulting in an underwhelming clusterfuck.
Psymont 2.0 said:No sense in over thinking it I suppose since no real answers are coming.
Walter said:PS: Still haven't bothered to watch the final 2 episodes, so if any of these questions are answered, please feel free to put me in my place.
Walter said:I dunno, I think this show bullshitted us enough over six years that we deserve to call them on it. I'd actually like to compile of a list of unanswered questions and fudged details now that the show is over.
Aazealh said:I'm... I'm moving on.
Rhombaad said:Oh, and that line irked me more than anything. It's as if the writers are telling us to move on and not hold them accountable for the six seasons we just wasted our time on. Jack asses.
Deci said:EDIT: I'm not trying to condone pirating, just that you shouldn't spend the money to buy Season 6 just to have 20 more minutes of disappointment. Unless the creator(s) endorse pirating, you should always buy their material!
Just wait for the final truth that will be revealed in the 3D re-release of LOST, coming in 2012. THE TRUTH WILL FINALLY BE REVEALED. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV-tUtEjoGYグリフィス said:P.S. But yeah, that's horseshit about the DVD's unanswered questions. Just go away now, Lost.
Here's one.Walter said:I'd actually like to compile of a list of unanswered questions and fudged details now that the show is over.
Ben and Widmore have a dramatic talk in Season 4. Widmore asks if Ben has come to kill him. Ben replies, "We both know I can't do that."
Ah thanks! But, there were a few of those that were answered -- just not very well.Olivier Hague said:Here's one.
