I was expecting so much more of this even though Im partially satisfied on the emotional side (happy american clasic ending thou) on the other side I have no doubt that this 16 or 18 million viewers are not gonna get lose by the producers and the broadcast companies, it's such a humongus success economically speaking that probably in couple years we may see a secuel (or a precuel) so they were force to leave so many doubts in the air that will provide foundation for the next LOST II.......after all, we all saw how after 20 year we know how Darth V becomes Luke's father aint'we?<br />Regards from ChihuahuaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-81135795005816720612010-05-31T04:21:07.351-07:002010-05-31T04:21:07.351-07:00Im afraid that was the worst possible ending imagi...Im afraid that was the worst possible ending imaginable.

But then they decided to let us fly. Why? Because they couldn't think of anything else.<br /><br />As said above, it was BS for the last 3 seasons.<br /><br />When one goes to a 2 hour mystery movie in a theater, one knows most of it will make sense somehow. If not, word gets around quickly that it is not worth wasting the time nor money to see the movie.<br /><br />Here, they sucked us in for 3 years, then ran out of ideas that made sense. So, we get time travel, etc. If that stuff had been known in the first year, most of the viewers would have left.<br /><br />So, they kind of wasted about 120 hours of my life.<br /><br />Even the 2.5 hour final was simply one long car commercial, interspersed with tidbits of the inane final plot pieces.<br /><br />It was rerun tonight, and somehow only took 2 hours!!<br /><br />So, in the end it was all for money after the first couple of years. The producers should be sued, drawn and quartered, or somehow let it be known we were not taken in by their games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-76662802055130444792010-05-28T00:00:19.113-07:002010-05-28T00:00:19.113-07:00Not too bad..Not too bad..Discount couponshttp://www.mdeals.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-25352953601389758632010-05-27T19:21:42.929-07:002010-05-27T19:21:42.929-07:00You can just check my blog.

Anyway, I'm sure...What email? You got a link?<br /><br />Anyway, I'm sure they could argue that it all made sense, but I can disagree. It smacks of a group of people that really didn't know where they were going, so they just b.s.-ed their way through for awhile.<br /><br />Which is fine - it makes LOST much like any other serial. The problem is when people (myself included) start/started to treat it like it was special. It wasn't. It was just another soap opera. But hey, at least it felt special while it was on, right?Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-88567688736859460922010-05-27T15:10:44.599-07:002010-05-27T15:10:44.599-07:00According to an email from one of the writers, non...According to an email from one of the writers, none of those things were pointless (Dharma, Others, etc.). It all makes sense in context. Granted, it's not good storytelling that we need this email to understand it, but the email did help me appreciate it more.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-82320692161493864872010-05-26T15:56:19.245-07:002010-05-26T15:56:19.245-07:00Almost forgot the most important part: many thanks...Almost forgot the most important part: many thanks to my main man Kid Vegas for guesting this whole season (ok, almost all of it ;) ).

I'm not a fan at all of the purgatory flash world that they wasted half of their final season on. What the hell purpose did it serve, other to give us all the warm and fuzzies for ten minutes. It's no better than the torn-to-shreds Seinfeld finale, though perhaps it's worse since, again, they took half a season to say what might've been said in 10 minutes.<br /><br />Anyway, it's not so much the myriad questions left unanswered that bother me, it's how meaningless they all are; not just in a "ooh aah" grand-context-of-it-all, psycho-analysis of pop culture way, but in a "none of this shit really even mattered to the series itself" kinda way. We followed the producers blindly down hundreds of side streets and switchbacks, but almost all of them turned out to be dead ends. Nearly everything that was once shown to us as being "what the show was about," at least in terms of the day-to-day narrative, was pointless (Dharma, Ben vs. Widmore, Others, etc.). <br /><br />I guess I'm just glad they didn't string us along for one or two more seasons. <br /><br />I miss season one. And I can't wait to rewatch it time and again, and then be depressed upon completion every time.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-81003668047737326822010-05-26T11:16:51.257-07:002010-05-26T11:16:51.257-07:00I didn't really like it.

I liked the Jack stuff on the island - and his death with Vincent was touching - but overall it was 2 1/2 hours of schmaltz. <br /><br />I like mysterious, unexplained, WTF "Lost", not Michael Giacchino/slow-motion syrup. <br /><br />Although I do give the team credit for actually wrapping the story up in a semi-tidy fashion, it just didn't work for me at all.Chase Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969868987204703561noreply@blogger.com
