Of the people still watching by the time the finale rolled around and not too disgusted to bother to comment, I'm not seeing a whole lot of people thrilled about anything, much less how the relationships ended up. I'm seeing people who didn't even care one way or another observe that we never even saw the improbable Juliet and Sawyer relationship in the first place and the Jack and Kate moment on the cliff came out of the nowhere. People are using these among other inconsistencies with previously established characterization as proof that it wasn't "all about the characters". Also I'm seeing people who just assumed Sawyer and Kate got together after left since everywhere Sawyer went, Kate was sure to go throughout the series up until the end.<br /><br />They bombed on the finale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-80036728232055377722010-06-08T05:51:03.728-07:002010-06-08T05:51:03.728-07:00Thank goodness - you deserve to have the last word...Thank goodness - you deserve to have the last word and I will hang on every bit of it.

WTF! This aint right!!<br /><br />If you watched the final recap show you'll hear Carlton saying he would most like to be Sawyer as all of us diehards knew all along. And then on more than 1 occasion in this recap show Damon says negative things about Sawyer. Because Damon is a little nerd that could never have a hot gf. <br /><br />Juliet and Damon ruined one of the greatest true love stories ever. I mean the woman literally sacrifices her life because Sawyer looks at Kate in a certain way. <br /><br />I'm not bitter over it but they are just wrong. <br /><br />The only thing I was ok with was my thinking that Jack sacrificed his life to FINALLY do the right thing instead of just being an arrogant prick like always. But he sacrifices himself to save everyone so my thinking is ok maybe he should have Kate for pitys sake. You know...?<br /><br />I still feel kind of sick to my stomach about it.<br /><br />Theres not 1 Jack and Kate moment that is anywhere near as real as You smell like fishbiscuits. <br /><br />You were wrong on this one Damon. And don't even get me started on Nadia not being in the church with Sayid.

Are yo...I don't know where else to post this... Are you coming back to us? Theres a lot of people who are VERY VERY excited to read your final recap. I'm imaginaing something quite epic and I'm sure it takes a lot of time to put together. I keep coming back here every day in the hopes the recap is up. Not yet... I'll keep trying.<br /><br />As for the finale, if you LOST commenters were looking for answers, you were watching the wrong show, in fact, based on the lovey-dovey church crap and the healing-ball-of-island light I would have preferred less answers over schmaltzy-Hallmark white light answers. <br /><br />The ending would have been better if it was just Jack lying down closing the eye, at least it would feel like some sort of circle was complete. I choose to pretend that the flash-sideways didnt happen. LOST looks a lot better without it.<br /><br /><br />That said, its irritating for people to say they wasted six years on this show. The lack of resolution doesnt ruin it for me. What was cool about the show (the search for meaning, purpose, resolution, unusual narrative structure, past events determining how you act now, and what you do now affecting the future, Dharma, etc... etc...)still is regardless of the swiss cheese plot this year. <br /><br />I still feel like the journey is more important than the destination in Lost, just like life. And things get muddled from time to time.<br /><br />I WAS somewhat disappointed in certain aspects of the finale and SOME of this season, but really they just set the bar too high and never could have equalled our expectations.<br /><br />Still a fan and waiting patiently for a fishbiscuit.<br />jsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940664144547140809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-42383791106596360382010-06-03T09:20:26.017-07:002010-06-03T09:20:26.017-07:00Fish...I'm waiting patiently because I know yo...Fish...I'm waiting patiently because I know your recap is going to be the "doozy" you promised.

I saw an elephant in Rousseau’s hideout in episode 1.09 (after Sayid fixed Rousseau’s music box and before Rousseau left with her gun, there’s a loud noise and a quick glimpse of an elephant’s trunk raised up and the rest of the head is covered with a blanket) but maybe only I saw it. At any rate, I did a internet search for “elephant + Lost” and found your recap on the elephant in the Little Prince story (The Elephant in the Boa 5.04.) I was immediately hooked on your take of the story. I want to thank you for all the work it took to do the recaps. So many others recapers were either only just restating the storyline or talking out the tops of their heads without giving any thought to what they were saying. I came to count on you to educate me on the various book titles, meanings behind the names of characters, and other semi-hidden items. I also appreciated the humor you included, like the shrinking well.<br /><br />I was saddened to read the potty-mouth remarks in the comment section directed towards you.

I'm amazed that you predicted it so well and so early. (A month ago, I was still excited about the upcoming ending and confident that it would be good.)<br /><br />I'm eager to see what you have to say about the finale.

I need to make sure I've got my LOST...one more<br /><br />I need to make sure I've got my LOST metaphysics/theology straight here: When you die, you go to a purgatory that's kind of like a season of AfterM*A*S*H. When you're ready to "move on" you meet your friends at a Unitarian-Universalist church. <br /> <br />That was a disappointment. I haven't felt so ripped off since I paid full price to see The Village. I had a sinking feeling when Daniel and Driveshaft combined forces to perform Mr. Holland's Opus Part II. That's not purgatory, that's hell. <br /> <br />There are two separate but related things this episode had to deal with, and it failed at both of them. <br /> <br />1) Resolving mysteries and questions about the world (or not). You don't have to give us all the answers. In fact, you don't have to give us any answers. But I do want to get a sense that the writers understand and abide by the rules of the world they've created. I have no idea what's happening and why at the end of 2001, but I feel like Kubrick and Clarke do (even if they don't, they make me *feel* like they do). "The End" made me feel like LOST's writers had given up trying to make the world of the Island work. The world we were asked to buy into was nothing more than a collection of macguffins. Seriously, the Ultimate Mystery of the island is a drain-stopper rock that Desmond and Jack have to plug and unplug? That's it? More importantly, why do we even care at this point? <br /> <br />2) Resolving LOST as a drama. Here's where I had my biggest problem. For all the quirky mysteries of the Island, you couldn't end this series dramatically with things any more tied up in a bow. Everyone finds their partner (pairing up like we're in the last scene of a musical comedy). No one has given up anything. A round of happy endings for everyone before they walk off into the sunset! This is sitcom dramaturgy, and I can't imagine a less satisfying was to see off these characters. Blech. <br /> <br />And just to be clear: the "flash sideways" has not a thing to do with the island. If we eliminated it completely, the island story wouldn't have changed one iota. (Could someone please create a Sopranos "flash sideways" on YouTube with Tony, Paulie, and Johnny Sac all walking into the great beyond hand in hand...) <br /> <br />Good riddance, LOST.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-10362849727072176672010-05-27T05:46:20.095-07:002010-05-27T05:46:20.095-07:00another Slate:
I must begin by thanking the Lost ...another Slate:<br /><br />I must begin by thanking the Lost creators: Never again will I waste the precious hours of my life clinging to a vine of hope that a bouquet of carefully arrayed and tantalizing questions might—somehow, some way—be answered. From the beginning it was apparent the show’s writers had a talent for weaving a complex web of teasing questions, but we learned tonigh they were a one-trick pony. Lost turned out to be exactly what I had always feared: a series of cleverly constructed but ultimately meaningless vignettes. <br /> <br />What is most astonishing is that the writers didn’t even bother to attempt to disentangle the labyrinth of riddles they laid out: Why were babies on the island dying? How did Locke’s father get on the island (his body was never there)? Why kill off Mr. Echo? How does Richard have an inexhaustible supply of eye-liner? Viewers who for six years had pored over every exquisitely placed clue found themselves answerless as they watched a closing scene involving a room full of grinning cast members that resembled my last high school reunion. It was as if the writers were saying, “Hey, we may not have answered any of your questions, but look at all these really cool characters we created that you all love so much.” Our exciting conclusion is to witness Jack beat the hell out of a 60-year-old man. <br /> <br />What a fool I was all these years. But I pity poor Schafer even more. He was duped into writing a weekly column on this tripe and had to put up with the critics who endlessly chided him for poking holes into this schlock. On that note: I look forward to reading Matlin’s pseudo-intellectual parsing of the finale; he will undoubtedly find a way to defend it. <br /> <br />How depressing. I feel vaguely like Kyle, Stan and Cartmann when they went to see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I made the foolish mistake of thinking that because the writers created interesting characters and flirted with interesting and profound ideas, they had something to say. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect them to unravel the questions of the universe, but I did expect a few answers and some modest closure. This show was a hoax, pure and simple. I wish I could use the island to time travel so I could go back to 2004 and warn myself not to watch this crap. Curse J.J. Abrams. <br /> <br />That is all I have to say….now I am going to go and gouge my eyes out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-13845656944577084832010-05-10T14:14:32.647-07:002010-05-10T14:14:32.647-07:00hey fish, wheres the new recap? youre killing me w...hey fish, wheres the new recap? youre killing me with the wait..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
