Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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.

if they were all going to hang out together again in a slow-mo montage at least make it on the beach or something and not in a fuckin church

not to nit-pick on things they didn't explain, cuz im fine with leaving a lot of mysterious stuff, but what the hell is supposed to be the deal with the whole nuke detonation thing? like, did it do anything or not?

is it just supposed to have been a big red herring?

I think that setting off the nuke created heaven?

Which is kind of an irresponsible message if you think about it.

there is more garbage being written on the internet trying to defend this horseshit than any garbage thats ever been written

are people actually into this

I can hear my neighbor watching this through the walls. She's around the part where the plane is about to take off, and I'm just thinking "god, she is about 10 minutes from being as disappointed as I am right now. I should knock on her door, tell her to quit while she's ahead."

Ok so did this show really just devolve into happy endings for everyone? Why bother with making emotionally powerful Juliet/Quon/Locke deaths and then make none of them matter?

haha i think its spelled kwon but i like your spelling a lot more

I'm looking forward to the last episode - Jack alone in his apartment staring wistfully into the mirror, whispering "Sometimes, I don't know why, I just need you guys... all of you!" and then he sees Ben appear in the mirror who says "You do? Well why didn't you say so!" and then he turns around and all the Flight 815ers and Others and freighties and Vincent and Smoke Monster are there dancing and having a massive party, Sayid doing the robot, Nikki and Paolo high-fiving, everyone being great friends etc etc.
If this doesn't happen I will be disappointed.

I think I nailed it.

^ that was the ending of Labyrinth btw. The island falling into the sea was reminiscent of Neverending Story. What movie was it from where they say something like "go on in, they're waiting for you" like Christian did there?

so basically you have to protect the island from...your evil twin brother who wouldn't have been evil at all if the earlier island protector hadn't been a jackass.

how do you protect it, well don't let your brother...put out the light...by taking out the big stone plug...but if you do that...make sure you put it back in, like, twenty minutes or so...then it'll be fine...

also why didn't frogurt get into heaven with them, is it because no one loved him

how do you protect it, well don't let your brother...put out the light...by taking out the big stone plug...but if you do that...make sure you put it back in, like, twenty minutes or so...then it'll be fine...

tbh i had seen minimal amounts of lost but i was watching bits of it tonight just so i could even reasonably attempt to follow all the forthcoming chatter about it, but was this scene(s) as bad and stupid to fans as it looked to me? felt like i was watching some late 90s indiana jones rip off or something

yeah it looked like they filmed it in the indiana jones ride at disneyland.

the existence and purpose of this big stone plug that has alternately golden light or hellish lava underneath it is...bewildering.

So is the heaven-in-the-church thing happening years later, after Hurley and Ben have hung out on the island that Jack saved for many years (and maybe handed off to another candidate)... and Lapidus flew a bunch of those guys off the island and they led full lives, then died... and after everyone in the church died?

The island never really sank? Jughead detonating didn't actually do anything (besides lead to Juliet's death)? What were the criteria for ending up in the church at the end? (Obviously there are certain actors they couldn't/didn't want to get, but if Penny was there why couldn't Eko, Nikki & Paolo, Walt, etc. etc. be there?)

There was a lot I didn't get, I think.
