Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

I actually held it together until Vincent laid down with Jack. I said, "Vincent's going to feast on Jack's corpse" and then I bawled.

hate this fucking show

not as bad as battlestar but for christs sake

almost turned the damn thing off when christian was like "youre dead too" or whatever idiot thing he said

I wonder how much they even tried in the writers' room to tie together shit and pick up previous plot strands, or if they just came up with the flash-sideways-heavon thing a while ago and just got all excited about going whole hog with it, damn the consequences

crying is fine, but this was a closeup of some unsuspecting audience member right at the start of the show. his friends will youtube i'm sure.

Yeah, Kimmel started :30 late here too. Weird. Love the band going to commercial with "You All Everybody"

they insist they don't have the time for answers, because there are more important things, and then it turns out half the season was totally pointless.

Ok so the one thing I learned from lost is that black men don't get to go to heaven

fighting back giggles during the Faradayshaft Rock Experience was probably the most enjoyment i got out of the episode

xp Maybe it was Mormon heaven.

"also what was the point of jack not dying in the pit, but instead washing out only to die like 3 minutes later?"

so they could do the eye thing.

I appreciate the eye closing thing.

Talk about damning with faint praise! But yeah.

I'm probably going to wake up tomorrow and be happy about this ending. I'm already coming around to it now.

So ignoring the whole alt resolution for a moment.

Desmond unplugs cosmic stopper, causing the 'rules' of Jacob/MiB to cease-- so now Jack and Flocke can actually hurt each other. Right? But why does that make Kate now able to kill Flocke with a gun? Did the unplugging cancel out everybody's powers so that Flocke was now just a dude?

Need a animated gif of Kate's reaction to staring into the magical vagina, was laughing my ass off at that

it seemed pretty clear to me that yeah, Flocke lost his invincibility/immortality/etc. why would only Jack be able to hurt him and not Kate?

how did hugo die? if he was immortal.

a highlander killed him

He went into that little booth in the fortress of solitude and renounced his powers.

just dropping by to say this was the dumbest conceivable way to end this: poorly structured, badly acted, abysmally written and lacking in interior or any other kind of logic. just sheer horseshit.

I wanted to be sad and to feel those tearful moments, but sadly I didn't. I couldn't stop thinking of how they didn't come thru for me. That most of season 6 and been a let down, and the finale did nothing to remedy that. I'm more sad at the disappointment of Lost that the show being over. For a second I was thinking that Jack would be the new MIB and Hurley the new jacob, which was surprising me and making me happy. But nope everyone's happy and in heaven.

i wasn't really expecting much, i don't think. so, weirdly, i wasn't that disappointed.

^^yep. it was about average for this season.

I keep thinking of the writers saying in every interview, "We're making the best show we can"

god they should have hired me

lotsa laughs that jimmy kimmell. see, i'm never up this late and now my new favorite show is Legend Of The Seeker and its only been on for five minutes. its awesome!

...the alternate timeline where Oceanic 815 didn't crash but landed in LA successfully ACTUALLY is purgatory. Darlton are only on record as denying that Losties pot-crash experience on the island in the original timeline was purgatory.

Heh

Ugh. Complete shit. Loosely did the math, that's what, 100 hours I've spent watching this shit, and at least another 200 reading about it, and that's all I get? A dude named Christian Shepherd brings everyone (except the black men) to heaven?

I'm not even blaming the show. I'm just angry with myself.

annoying. they were obviously more interested in tying up the alternate universe story line than addressing ANY of the core mysteries of of the show. which would be okay except they had two or three years there where they knew they were going to end and maybe could have done a better job keeping a handle on things.

I'm happy the dog showed up again though, but that was about it. concert was as horrible as could have been imagined.

That seriously ate my balls.

I don't think that I'm actually mad, just wondering what happened over the last year that made all the stuff I liked about the show not matter to the writers anymore.

what the fuck with the four toed statue? also I guess 'electromagnets' really was the answer to the island thanx ICP

looking forward to the first time an enraged fan slugs one of these writer dudes in public, that was an insult.

i guess I'm kind of an apologist but really this went off the rails more than heroes did and I got off that bus after season 2 (is it even still on?)

^ It just got canceled.

The writers have ALWAYS had different interests than the fanboys/girls have. If they were successful in any aspect with the finale, it was in bringing me back around to their point of view and making all the other stuff I wanted out of this show seem kind of trivial. I mean, really... what explanations for a lot of the big mythology questions would have actually been satisfying?

anything, anything at all.

Was the last shot that came after the eye closing the show's way of saying, "Oh by the way: everyone on the plane died"? Is that what happened there?

The plane piloted by Lapidus with Sawyer and company, I mean.

with the credits rolling? dunno, impossible to tell, more ambiguity crap. I thought it was the old 815 wreckage but maybe not. I was looking for something, anything in that final shot but didn't see it on first viewing.

Kate's "I've missed you" to Jack seemed to imply that she had lived on for a while though. But frankly, none of this made much sense.

this was shit shit shit

holy shit this was shit

like if they really wanted to do a bullshit "they're in heaven now" thing, they could have done it in ONE episode, not the whole damn season

and like jon said upthread, it had nothing to do with ANYTHING... literally this ending could have been stuck on any show, diff'rent strokes, manimal, third watch, and it would have been just as appropriate

this worked as a conclusion for the storylines in S6, but not the whole show. it was like the writers thought "everyone liked it when Desmond and Penny were tearfully reunited, we'll just do that for two and a half hours."

Yeah, like, I don't want to ride this train too much, but jesus, this was a whoooooole lot of "the pretty white straight people get to make out again! YAAAAY!"

I'm sure you could have watched this episode without seeing most of the show and pretty much understood it, which is do doubt what they intended. The thought of re-watching any of it now is pretty laughable.
