(*Lost*)

So I thought it was a good ending. I like how Sawyer called Locke Smokey. So we called it on Hugo being the next Jacob, rofl at that coming true. So a question to throw out there, was the sideverse the afterlife the whole time?

Was nice to see Kate and Jack get back together in the end.

You gotta love in lost where you are told one thing that makes you think you can't do something but it's ok for the story.

EXAMPLE: During the season they said if the light of the island ever goes out there is no turning it back on. It's ok for Jack to turn it off to kill Locke, so it can be turned back on? I thought it couldn't come back on!

Absolutely epic ending. I can't believe it actually lived up to the hype (imo).

There are obviously still lots of little questions left unanswered, but I'm definitely satisfied with how they ended it all. Incredible moment in television history, and anyone following will be hard-pressed to surpass it.

That's my understanding, yeah. Which means the island eventually sunk into the sea at some point in time (as we saw in the season opener), right?

do not watch jimmy kimmel, what a faggot show.

Awww, really? It's coming on in about 10 mins here. I kinda don't want to see the other endings, just because it'll just cheapen what I just watched. But I do want to hear from Cuse & Lindelof and the other cast members.

Lol the "alternate endings" were funny

[Gogan]

Yeah, the bit with Carlton and Damon was kinda funny, but overall that was a pretty pointless show. Nobody had anything worthwhile to say. Judging by Matthew Fox's response, I'm pretty sure none of the actors will be allowed to say anything specific about the show's story for quite some time. I almost wish I didn't see it, b/c it killed my post-finale high.

Jimmy Kimmel is gay and faggot. That whole thing was dumb.

As for the actually finally, I think I liked it. I was much more satisfied with it as an ending than BSG. I think it makes sense in context to the show, and was an appropriate ending. My only issue is that there were MANY things that just got kinda left out. I don't totally mind it, especially if their explainations would have been lame, but they (writers of show) made it sound like no stone would be left unturned by the time it was all over. So in that sense, I was left a little wanting. Overall, I am good with it. Melissa on the other hand, disappointed.

Loved the ending. Very emotionally charged ending for all these characters that we've seen throughout the years go through hell in service to the island, Jacob, each other, and trying to find themselves and their purpose in life.

In the end the whole "live together die alone theme" was swung in the other direction as we really saw some redemption in all these characters at the end being together.

I was definitely a bit dissatisfied with them not answering a lot of important questions, but I'm not sure how they could of done what I wanted within the 2:30 they had and did they ending they picked as well. A one liner like the answer about the whispers would not of done it for me. It hit home that it definitely was also a character based show and I enjoyed what the characters brought to it a lot more than I expected when I first started watching and just concerned about the mystery of the island.

I do feel however, (crossing fingers for the dvd extras) they eventually address a lot of the answered questions of the mythology for the fan base to give a fitting close to that side of the lost journey.

Its too bad they couldn't do two finales, one for the mythology and one for the characters. What's nice about it is that there's so much room for interpretation and I need to rewatch the series and the ending again to see it in its entirety after knowing how it ends.

Yoox, The smoke monster discreption is almost best compaired to as Agent Smith in the matrix.


The man in black was "stuck" in his natural body, but when knocked out and thrown into the light everything that was "good" is no longer and its just a nightmare manifstation of the man in black who's free to roam/take on who ever is dead on the island.



Its almost as if jacob unlocked the true potenital in the man in black.

I was kind of hoping jack would "plug the hole" (whatever the hell that was) and hurley would be sitting there, and a giant cloud of black smoke would come shooting out. Later we would see jack and hurley talking, and jack would be like "I did my part, now I want to go home" and hurley would be like "dude, you know I can't let you do that".

[rursusferre]

Here is the other thing I keep reading today that is also wrong. They weren't dead as soon as they got to the island. They all EVENTUALLY die. Jacks dad says so, "your time on the island was the happiest time of your lives." the problem with that is, that means the ending, the whole side-universe has NOTHING to do with the plot of the show/island. The island was just this shared experience, that when they died "united" them. It that sense, I don't actually know if I liked the ending.
