Oh, but he was close. That scene where Jacob gathers the characters around the fire and they start making questions...god..for a minute i thought they were going to put on their glasses and take out their script pages.
Seriously they suck at storytelling.
not really he didn't give them any answers really just enough so jack would take the role as the jacob.

...he explained why he brought them all there. Fair enough he didn't start going "so the CV's on the blast door map refer to 'Cerberus Vents' which is how smokey gets about" because that would just be shit

everone knew that from MiB's lines and the lighthouse and cave he just had to explane enough to them so one would take the job. Even Hurley and Sawyer remark on how he never says anything and is "worse then yoda".
^ That PNC looks awesome
I liked the lost ending and also disliked it , It was the Island itself that intrugued me , why it was there how it was created etc and In the end the show isnt about the island its about the people themselves and how they lived ect, but even so the fact that their spirits were all hanging around in some alternate reality dream waiting for everyone to die so they could cross over together to me just seemed like an excuse to end the series in a Cheesy 'Group Hug' moment.
If you edited all of Lost to work in chronological order with all the backstorys uptill jacks death you'd be shouting at the Tv for explanation, and then just get given the 'heaven waystation' scene (that to me seemed very similar to the southpark episode where all of the dead celebrities are waiting for michael jackson to accept his death so they could all 'cross over')
As this final series progressed I was getting more frustrated with each episode as they werent really answering any questions, I knew not to expect anything from the finalie and as my expectations were low it just barely passed the bar for being an acceptable finalie.... Im just glad they didnt go with the ' Aliens did it' excuse Its cleary egyptian like, my personal theory back in season 3 was, it was the orginal 'garden of eden'
Anyway I think I'd like a Lost Movie in the style of The Mummy/Scorpion King to give us an explanation of why the heart of the island was so important.
I'm 90% sure most of the people whining about it were only watching the show so that they could act all pretentious and whiny when the ending "sucked", which it didn't.
There was a "deleted-scene" shown in the Comic Con this year.
Any thoughs on that?
I thought it was pretty childish. Allthough I appreciate the ability of the writers to laugh at themselves, That doesn't change my opinion about the series. Aweful.
Screw the haters, LOST is superb and those who hate it are the people who completely fail to understand the meaning of the show. I hate Doctor Who but I've never felt the need to post about it in that thread. You don't like LOST? Good for you, why post about it in a LOST thread? Don't you have anything better to do?
The point is; just because I don't like something, it doesn't mean that I seek out a thread devoted to that thing and shout about how I hate it. I mean, who cares what I think if they're already a fan? Some people have no manners and far too much time on their hands.
For the record, I quite like the older series of Doctor Who and I thoroughly enjoyed the reboot with Christopher Eccleston. I just don't care for what the show has become (far too much time spent on Earth and far too camp). Now I'll shut up about it, lest I become the type of person I'm moaning about (although; at least I'm not posting this in a Doctor Who thread).

Heh, you do realize the entirety of the first series took place on Earth and or on a Spaceship in orbit around Earth? :P I joke, I joke. In fact, if I had to place why I've liked teh show so much recently is it has become very much like Lost with it's long-standing arcs and unresolved questions.
People are allowed to put their opinions in the thread. In both this thread, where the show is done, and the Who thread, where the show is on hiatus for another month, any discussion is better than no discussion.
A friend of mine rewatched it quite recently, according to him when you know the plot twists you realise that it's actually just a bad show.
I shall see.
Ha, he's such an idiot. I watched the entirity of the first five seasons looking things up on Lostpedia and more or less completely spoiled and still think it's a great show.
Question: Do you have any idea how it ends? I think within a few years it will become another 'it was the sled' in that people know about the ending but not the show.
I dunno. I think if anything of Lost sticks around in popular culture it'd probably just be the basics of the premise (the crash, the island, the hatch, and maybe the numbers gag) rather than the specifics of the ending. If for no other reason than because most people stopped watching the show after the first couple seasons, overall.
i think most Losties would be surprised at how little people know of the actual show. Most people don't even realize the show uses Flashbacks. People think the show was just mystery after mystery stacked on top of eachother, but in reality it was just a character study that occasionally had some mysterious elements, the vast majority of which were explained.
I loved Lost. I plan to watch it all again at some point, probably when I get the box set. One thing I didn't do much of when it was on was read and listen to interviews from the writers and such but recently I've listened to a few podcasts which had Damon Lindelof on as a guest and in them he talked a little about Lost. Was interesting hearing the reason for some decisions regarding some characters such as Walt and Mr Eko. Of course I'm sure this is all old news but like I said I didn't look into this kind of stuff when watching the show originally.
Well, the show, until around the end of Season 3, progressed merely 90-or-so days whilst Walt aged 3 years. It was just logical to write him out.
Mr. Eko's actor guy wanted to leave, so they wrote him out. When he wanted to get back for the finale, they wrote a bit for him, and then he accepted so long as tehy pay him the same as the regulars (it was apparently similar to Ana Lucia and just a significant cameo), so they said no.

I understand the reason they wrote Walt out of the show. My only issue is that he was supposed to be so important and special to the Others, and then it was never resolved. Write him out of it, fine, but at least explain the reason behind the climactic season 1 finale and Michael's whole season 2 arc. They even brought him back again for the little post-Season 6 DVD extra and didn't cover it. Argh.
Mr. Eko's removal sucked as well given that just one or two episodes earlier, it was a big deal that Locke saved him. But, what can you do in that situation? At least there weren't any huge unresolved Mr. Eko issues that I'd still be complaining about years later.
Do you seriously not know what ends with the revelation it was the sled? Oh, I envy you. You probably don't know how The Usual Suspects ends either.
Seriously, don't know about anything en Iding with a sled. Thankfully, know how The Usual Supects ends, so I guess get to keep a little dignity in this thread. I do know some shocking movie revelations

Prexactly, answers in Lost work better when they're implied and not handed to you
I don't know 'bout you.. but I'm pretty inspired!

Probably true. But I'm not. And I still hated it.

Haha! This guy is completely right and understands why haters be haters!

We can't be friends anymore.

We all do. You have to... let go.
I shall see.

"Yeah, well... that's just like his opinion, man."
I do think it would be one of those shows which would be interesting to watch having already seen.
I have no idea what that means. Next time I see something classic involving sled, I'll consider it spoiled. :rolleyes:
Do you seriously not know what ends with the revelation it was the sled? Oh, I envy you. You probably don't know how The Usual Suspects ends either.
Better hope Dashing doesn't see this...:eek:
That's actually not true, I just can't talk about Lost or see anyone else talking about Lost without wanting to let out a hearty WAAAAAAAAALT!

Crap. I forgot about that.
I would have loved to know more about that psychic guy, too. Goddamnit, Lost!
