I was a Suliet supporter who probably contributed to Skate not being endgame. Since then I shipped another couple on another show and they were the two leads and had tons of build up, but in the last few episodes their relationship was destroyed and they both ended up with other people. I know how Skaters felt now, and I'm sorry.<br /><br />I really regret all the nastiness on all sides during the Lost shipper wars, and as the ending showed Lost wasn't worth it anyway.<br /><br />Peace to everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-51215357606962136612016-04-28T08:16:34.577-07:002016-04-28T08:16:34.577-07:00I hope that with the passage of time, everyone out...<br />I hope that with the passage of time, everyone out there finally understands that Jack is the hero, the savior.

Yes, Kate bounced back and forth, but they still gave all the great romance to her and Sawyer. They developed the relationship and had it mean something, right up to nearly the end. Even with the Juliet non-romance, as soon as Kate came back, it returned to her. Within days of Juliet's death, Sawyer was calling her Freckles again and making sure she got off the island with him in the sailboat. Even in the afterlife-sideways world, they had a fated connection and "got" each other. And then Darlton simply dropped it. "<br /><br />I think we need to step back and get some perspective. Sawyer and Kate had a fling (not a great romance), it didn't work out because Kate was in love with someone else and they were too much alike to bring out the best in themselves. They had their chance and it failed. <br /><br />Darlton didn't drop Skate, they placed it away as they had always intended to. Skate was fun, the women got all wet in the pants over Sawyer and brought in the ratings. But he was never going to get the girl that the main hero was in love with. That is just obvious.<br /><br />The writing was always on the wall. People just got sucked in by some cheesy flirting and sex scenes. <br /><br />The finale was great, the show was amazing.

Because that would have been so “awesome,” right? <br /><br />However the show had evolved far beyond what they could foresee as of the end of the first season – back when when Abrams and Lindelof supposedly wrote the church scene -- so it wasn’t awesome at all. To get to that ending they pretty much started over with an entirely new storyline – and that took a veeery long time to build up from scratch. As a result they abandoned the promise of most of what had happened between those two endpoints. <br /><br />Too much desire to appear clever and not enough love for what they had already created. Sigh. I too should watch it again.<br />Meriwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599301502401278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-7241060029621969892014-05-14T14:06:12.180-07:002014-05-14T14:06:12.180-07:00Great post, Anonymous.

I wasn’t much of a ‘shipper, but Kate and Jack would never have worked romantically, that much was clear. Whether she and Sawyer could have made it work over time would have been the kind of romantic challenge any of us might face when the routine of day-to-day sets in; but at least they would have started with great chemistry.<br /><br />I continue to be annoyed with what the writers did to the show in the last two seasons. I didn’t care about the meta-mysteries nearly as much I cared about the characters’ complex back-stories. I was expecting to see that massive investment pay off, a la a Charles Dickens novel where all the individual strands come together in amazing ways at the end. Instead, they just walked away from them.<br /><br />Despite that, I enjoyed the last two seasons. Mostly because I cared about the characters and because the actors did the best they could with what they were given. Also I kept telling friends, “Think about much time a movie director has. Two-three hours in which to introduce and wrap up everything. These guys still have 15 hours left. Plenty of time.” Because I hadn’t realized they were no longer planning to wrap up the things I cared about.<br /><br /> continued...Meriwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599301502401278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-3515134038774755032014-05-14T08:14:18.726-07:002014-05-14T08:14:18.726-07:00Keep watching and re-watching.

I've heard/read people bitching ...Continued...<br /><br />I've heard/read people bitching about the ending of Battlestar Galactica because it was spiritual or God-did-it, yet spirituality was woven throughout the whole series. The same could be said for Lost. The fact that they ended up in heaven didn't bother me. I believe in an afterlife, and all the different symbols they showed weren't a problem because I don't personally think the path matters. Again, it's the journey and the people, not as much about the specific details. The time on the island was pivotal in all their lives, whatever else happened before or after, and having them all gather isn't a terrible idea even if it all hinging on Jack is a bit much. <br /><br />However, to betray so many of the characters in the run up to that and in the end, to disregard what was important to them, their personal journeys... and to drop, at the last minute, the biggest love story, the one that started in the pilot and continued almost to the end... just... no. To me, dropping the ball with the characters is why Lost ultimately failed despite a great deal of beauty in many episodes. <br /><br />I'll probably keep the DVDs; I'll probably watch again sometime, or at least some of it. Now, having gotten the rest out of my system with this rewatch, I'll keep what's relevant, what speaks to me, and drop the rest. Heh. I guess that's exactly what Darlton did. Except, IMO, they weren't faithful to what they began, and as the storytellers, that's bad form. In the end, the story only served one character, and that's just sad.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-49692470558019614332014-04-28T02:14:49.573-07:002014-04-28T02:14:49.573-07:00I've avoided Lost during the 4 years since it ...I've avoided Lost during the 4 years since it ended. I tried watching an episode here or there, but could only remember how badly it ended. A family member gave me the last two seasons on DVD a couple of years ago (I'd never purchased them and had even told them I didn't like the way it ended), but I never cracked the cellophane. <br /><br />Last year, I started back at the beginning and went through "I Do" and then stopped. I disliked Jack even more than before and couldn't bear to watch the rest. Until just now. The last month or so, I've rolled through the rest of season 3, seasons 4 & 5, and am now down to the last few episodes of the series. I've been rereading the recaps here as I go, which has been just as great as reading them the first time. As I watch, I'm still grousing some about how dumb things got, but I'm also much more disconnected - maybe binge watching helps; no time to dwell, and now I just don't care about Jack. <br /><br />Like many admirers of Fishbiscuit's work, I was a Skater. I still think it was one of the best stories they told. And that's where most of my remaining disquiet lies. In rereading the finale recap, Fishbiscuit talked about how they didn't know how to write real, adult romance. Except, they did. <br /><br />They wrote Sawyer and Kate through nearly the whole show. Yes, Kate bounced back and forth, but they still gave all the great romance to her and Sawyer. They developed the relationship and had it mean something, right up to nearly the end. Even with the Juliet non-romance, as soon as Kate came back, it returned to her. Within days of Juliet's death, Sawyer was calling her Freckles again and making sure she got off the island with him in the sailboat. Even in the afterlife-sideways world, they had a fated connection and "got" each other. And then Darlton simply dropped it. <br /><br />It wasn't that they couldn't write a long, slow-burn, chemistry-laden, amazing romance, because they did (and the actors certainly helped a lot). They just dropped it at the last minute. Plenty of other characters got shafted as well, which Fishbiscuit rightly pointed out in the finale recap. It was all about Jack, and I guess that's why he ended up with Kate in the afterlife... even though they never showed them as a viable couple in the whole series. They only showed them as dysfunctional. For the last two seasons, they barely looked at one another. There was no connection in the afterlife-sideways world (still have a couple episodes to watch, but there's basically been nothing). So, WTF with ending up together?<br /><br />I cared about the mysteries. The fact that they wove such intricacies and kept dropping them is bad storytelling, but I can let much of that go, even as *annoying* as it is. However, to say it was about the characters and then screw over almost every single one of them... that's another matter. <br /><br />It *is* all about the characters. The storyteller sets out an arc, and the events could go in many directions -- characters can take the journey a million ways. It's about who they begin as, who they are along the way, and who they become. And face it, they created great characters and set up some wonderful journeys. But the story has to serve the characters, at the least, and follow through for them. For a long time, it did, but then it didn't. The mysteries as they related to characters were the ones that were most irritating when dropped or left unresolved (ex: Walt, Aaron, Desmond); the ones that were just thrown in to be "cool", I can let go of more easily. But I can't dismiss character assassination, and as Fishbiscuit pointed out, there was lots of that. <br /><br />To be continued...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
