Lost

[dmc]

A couple of hours of mandatory couch time both tonight for Lost and then tommorrow for 24 (man am I going to have so much EXTRA freetime next spring without these 2 staples of my TV viewing for the last 5+ years!)

Bauer gave me nightmares after the last episode.. Damn he's goen off the deep end

Yup, the 27 hours between 7PM tonight and 10PM tommorrow are going to both be GREAT (okay they'll be great if the writers did as good as job with the final episode of each show as they have been this entire season ) and also kind of sad, since both shows are ending..

And I totally agree about Jack Bauer in the last episode, he's taken things to a new, deep, dark place - can't wait to see how that plays out!

Getting good, really good!! 45 min to go

Gonna be thinking about that one for a while (on many levels)

Gut response: I liked it. A tad sappy and it's pretty easy to pick some stuff apart. There's always an anti-climactic dimension to something like this but I think they did well. It was mildly forced but it felt right.

Yup, in one sense it kind of ended like I would have thought it would of, then again it also ended quite a bit differently that I would have thought it was going to.

Gotta admit though that all the flash sideways this season I really enjoyed!

Now I've got about 20 hours to get ready for Jack Bauer's finale!

Jimmy Kimmel now doing a great (and entertaining) job of dissecting Lost

Did not like it. A lot holes in it.

 

[wa-loaf]

I didn't like the whole alt-universe=pergatory thing. Too much of a pat (and sappy) wrap-up.

Why did Daniel's mother ask Desmond in the alt universe if he was taking her son?
Why has she not let go?

Among other holes left. Really disappointing ending in both universes. Did they die in the plane crash and the island was not real?

 

[deadheadskier]

So, it's over. What did I miss?

Never watched a second of the show. :lol:

Not much in my opinion, big let down.

 

[deadheadskier]

all five years or just the end?

 

[dmc]

Great final show... Very happy with the ending..

Pretty much what i expected.

It was quite the tear jerker...

So this is my take on the two universes. The Island and everything that happened on it was real. Alt-universe is a sort of purgatory where people get ready to move on to whatever. Seems to be non-denominational, in the chapel when Jack is talking to his dad the stained glass window has a bunch of religious symbols. I saw, christian, jewish, islam. budist (yin yang?), hindu, and then a wagon wheel (what hell is that?). Faraday is not ready to move on for whatever reason. Notice Ben can't either because he was a bad mofo and needs more time in purgatory. There's a couple other times when they talk about folks not being ready. Hurley also tells Ben that he was a great number 2, so we have to assume they went on and took care of the island after Jack dies.

Faraday connected with Charlotte though. No Walt or his father. I need to see screencaps of all the people in the church. Why did all wait to move on together?

Just to many holes for me.

Last show only was a let down.

They all needed each other to move on...

All of them pretty much reached out to others for help over the last season..

And there is no real time for them so it could've happen anytime.

+1 I liked the way it ended on the Island but the whole flash sideways being Purgatory just seems like an easy way to cap off such a complex series. Kind of ironic that on Jimmy Kimmel they had Bob Newhart in a joke "dream ending" scene, I was thinking Purgatory was one step above in creativity over a dream ending.

And don't get me started on the sappiness! :smash: :uzi:
