those are great.

well I read the vozzek recap but it was sadly about 2/3 fanboy BS. I did get some interesting things to chew on, though.

the light was dimmed when they first went in, but was restored to full strength after Jack's dubious Jesus imitation.

the alt line is something special, not necessarily purgatory in the sense of "for everybody" but in a very specific Lost-sense relating apparently to the nuke (??? whatever). It's worth rewatching various appearances by "dead" people in past seasons with the view that they were visitors from the alt, e.g. Charlie visiting Hurley in the mental hospital, Ana Lucia pulling Hurley over, etc.

Desmond's "special" Island-tie to the alt-world (where enlightenment equals knowledge of both timelines) explains his flashes/premonitions about Charlie and how he saved Charlie's life several times in the "regular" timeline.

certain other folks (who died during the regular tineline) may have been (gag) "enlightened" the whole time in the alt, which explains some of their odd mannerisms and dialogue: Keamy, Minkowsky (as the limo driver), Boone on the plane, etc.

also interesting thoughts about the old version of Hawking as being purely an alt manifestation, I guess I'll quote:

It's chilling to think that perhaps Hawking has been here all along; even when we saw her in the ring shop or the Looking Glass station, she was just as enlightened as she is now. Remember that her two appearances also took place within off-island realms: one during Desmond's failsafe flashback, and the other in the Oceanic Six world. She could easily have been reaching back to those places from the ALT/Purgatory universe, where we now know that time means very, very little.

not saying this gets the writers off the hook but still...

That's at least kind of interesting.

this really hits the mark: http://nymag.com/arts/tv/reviews/66293/

No wonder it was touching: It was grief therapy directed at us as fans.

good article

That article annoyed me. I was disappointed with (a few) aspects of the finale but don't feel betrayed or tricked or condescended to. That's kind of silly.

I definitely feel condescended to... oh wait is that a Chuck E Cheese over there?

I think it's absolutely OTM. I mean, how can you not feel condescended to by the whole "OH LOOK, A CHUCK E CHEESE" thing?

lol xp

thought the article was great. some of the more articulated, on point criticisms of the finale/series i've seen yet

gonna be a little bummed out next time i see a chuck e. cheese i bet

I couldn't agree more with that article. And it pointed me towards the fine brothers videos, some of which had me laughing out loud. Walt!!!!!! Korean Korean!!!!

great article

Hahahahahaha

never tire of that one.

PPL!!! my wife Karen has a Lost-related gag cartoon in this week's New Yorker. I YAM SO PROUDED ^_^

http://www.cartoonbank.com/2010/Will-you-shut-up-about-Lost-already/invt/135278

Your wife could be veeeeeeery useful on this thread:

The "Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest" Poll: Week 1

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!

hahaha!!!

amazing.

dude.

that's like.

bucket list.

It's her third NYer gag printed and sixth one sold. But this time is special bcuz Michael Emerson might see it...

That's awesome! Also, Karen OTM.

dang jon lewis your wife rules

She really does.

How do i get darkufo or whatever to post a link to her cartoon?

awesome! at first i thought you meant she was a caption contest winner, but this is whole 'nother level awesome. i was total newyorker cartoonist fanboy as a kid.

When she goes in to pitch the magaizine new pieces, she has lunch afterward with Sam Gross and all the other old grouchy NYC/Long Island NYer cartoonists. So cool.

i met sam gross once. he got cigar ashes in the book i asked him to sign. knew some of the people who lived in connecticut. my brother would hang with them. roz. ziegler. others. good folks.

I rly need to go with her one of these times so I can meet all those dudes. (Roz does not come in to pitch in person anymore apparently). Does Dan Bunny draw?

he does draw, but they dug him cuz he's crazy. jack z. did the cover of bunnybrains album on matador. always thought far side dude got his whole act from jack z. well, jack z. and kliban.

Yeah esp Kliban. As famous as 'Cat' is, those other Kliban books warped and guided my brain severely when I was like 8 years old.

@DamonLinderlof I found the ending of Isner/Mahut satisfying, but wish they had answered more questions. about 20 hours ago via web

prick

hahahaha, A++++ Linderlof

yeah did lol

fuck it i ain't mad atcha damlin

hahahaha, A++++ Linderlof

Yes.

i feel like it's pretty common for entertainers to openly resent the dumbest members of their fanbase, but man this guy really hates the smart ones

I don't see having some fun with = hate.

well i don't mean just re: that tweet

2 months after the fact. Still fucking pissed.

2 months after the fact. I hardly ever think about it any more. The journey was fun, but we ended up in church. Oh well, we can leave and never have to return.

for me, the series "ended" w/ the Jacob/MIB origin story, compounded by the "Chucky Cheese" quip. Everything after that was just coasting toward the inevitable & I honestly just did not give a fuck anymore.

I starting watching this from the start with my sons recently. I forgot how much I loved early Lost - John Locke is just fucking great right from the off.

The kids are loving every minute of it and demanding to watch a new episode every night. Last night we stayed up late for the Season One finale - MOI BOIBEE!!!/WWWWAAAALLLLTTT!!!!/STOP, THE NUMBERS ARE BAD!!!!

Much less of Smokey in the first season than I remember - kills the pilot, faces down Locke, makes the odd noise, tries to drag Locke down a hole. You only really get one glimpse of actual moving sentient smoke.

Can't wait for the Season Two opener.

RIP enjoying LOST.

on hulu, if you play the finale, it loops back onto the pilot episode. one thing i noticed in the pilot was a lot less talking!
