Wow that LOST finale rocked...ROCKED!

Post Reply New Topic

It was a very fitting way to end it, I totally loved it

I loved it too, I loved how everything came full circle at the end.

Some people, however, are really pissing me off... they keep going on about "What did this mean, what did that mean!?!?!?! This show suck... blah blah blah..". I thought the people who watched tis show were supposed to be intelligent, however it seems some fans were just halfwits... I get that they didn't answer everything, but some of the questions these people are asking were given fairly obvious answers, e.g. "Why were kate and Sawyer in the church when they escaped on the plane!?" "Why was Aaron "special!?" (He wasn't, the psychic who said he was turned out to be a fraud). I get people who just have quesiotns, heck we all do, but some people are claiming the show was ruined for them over some silly thing... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

They actually answeared why they were in the church. Hugo was there and could have been centuries old. I was worried just how could they do justice in wrapping it up. I am happy to see my worries were put to rest.

I liked the finale but was disappointed with season 6 as a whole as there are so many critical unanswered questions about the island, the nature of the island, Jacob and his brother, the Dharma Initiative, etc.

The island was a "cork" keeping evil in

How? What is this "evil"? How do we know Jacob was correct in that statment? By the end of the series, Jacob lost pretty much all credibility.

I know! This is what I mean! The answer to that question was fairly obvious, but some people can't seem to see that.

It seems people complain that they aren't given answers, then when they finally are given them, they either don't like what they hear or seem
to ignore it.

quite literally

A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin or maguffin) is "a plot element that catches the viewers' attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction".[1] The defining aspect of a MacGuffin is that the major players in the story are (at least initially) willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to obtain it, regardless of what the MacGuffin actually is. In fact, the specific nature of the MacGuffin may be ambiguous, undefined, generic, left open to interpretation or otherwise completely unimportant to the plot. (Examples might include money, victory/glory, survival, a source of power, a potential threat, etc....or something entirely unexplained.)

MacGuffins are sometimes referred to as plot coupons[2] (especially if multiple ones are required) as the protagonist only needs to "collect enough plot coupons and trade them in for a dénouement".

The MacGuffin is common in films, especially thrillers. Commonly, though not always, the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and later declines in importance as the struggles and motivations of characters play out. It usually comes back into play at the climax of the story, but sometimes the MacGuffin is actually forgotten by the end of the film.

It would have been a great to watch without so many commercials, that was very distracting

Those last four episodes were the weakest bunch of writing in the entire series. They left plot holes big enough to fly a spaceship through and the ending was just a pathetic whitewash attempt to come up with something the viewers hadn't already guessed at. It didn't make sense, and even in the visual blocking of the scene had a dozen inexplicable, self-contradictory gaffs in it. The Bobby Ewing shower gag and the ending of the Sopranos were far more creative. If this ending satisfied you, you haven't been paying much attention to the storyline for the past six seasons. That was pathetic.

Honestly, I'm still expecting to read online tomorrow that ABC is spinning Hurley and Ben off into a redo of Fantasy Island, on which each episode will start with Cheech Marin picking a different color umbrella out of his drink poolside and yelling: "Hugo - da plane, man, da plane!"

not as pathetic as a no0b like you

Given your "lost ending SUCKS" thread, it would seem that you couldn't even pay attention to a single episode, never mind six seasons...

It was good but I wish I hadn't watched it with my family (I felt obligated to) cuz they kinda ruined the experience for me.

My dad and sister would NOT shut up about the little minor stuff and they're always forgetting little details in the story from earlier episodes and kept questioning about this and that when they should've remembered.

This is why I'm watching Fringe by myself. I'm sick of other people screwing with my TV watching experience.

I'm still trying to figure out how they got Ben out from underneath that tree in time to help Jack...

And yes, we all know the Island was vital for imprisoning the Man In Black, but it was clearly important before him and after him. Why did Jacob and his predecessors have to protect the light? Yes, it kept the island from sinking, but why was the island important back then, before the Man In Black was turned evil? I thought that the conclusion should have focused more on revealing the true nature and importance of the island, not on Jack's personal journey. Jack was one of the dullest characters on the show.

And they still didn't explain what the numbers mean. The numbers were one of the most intriguing and elusive mysteries of the island.

There were too many things left unexplained. With an ending like that, for all we know the writers never had a cohesive idea about the island, and just threw in new random mysterious features whenever they were convenient for the plot.

Yeah, it felt like that. It just felt as if they started pulling stuff out of their a**es but at the same time, trying to make it so like it fit in with all of the things that happened all the way up till then. In the end, it felt like a crappy fanfic. I understand the show very well and get everything, but still. Regardless, I still got emotional as everyone found each other and began to remember.
