Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

251. THE 100 HOURS I WASTED ON THIS BULLSHIT $PRICELESS, BITCH

I'm just past halfway through S2 on reLOST. Sayid kicking the shit out of Benry (I completely forgot about Danielle putting an arrow through him), Benry pushing Locke's buttons, Charlie the social outcast, Kate finding the theatrical beard looking for Boibee medicine, Sawyer getting all New Sheriff In Town and killing tree frogs.

I dreamed a few nights ago that Nestor Carbonell was so upset with the outcome of the series (and the whimper with which they let his complex character bow out) that he essentially became Alpert in real life and wrote fan fiction continuing the tale with him as a more central figure.

I liked this better than the actual ending of Lost

I actually laughed, it's some decent fan service.

on one hand, that just seems like a really lame move, but on the other, i love Hurley

The epilogue.

Guess we were right about Walt.

Hurleybird! That was fun.

from that Dharma video you can infer that they were training the polar bears to turn the wheel. i should have figured this out from the skeleton Charlotte found in the desert, but no...

ha, the video was such a fan info-dump. sweet ending for walt, though, finally

Nice.

lol @ betamax and drum n' bass coexisting

epilogue was cool, nicely done

This sounds awesome.

yes that could be hilarious

Needs Naveen Andrews.

Halfway through S5 in my LOST rerun. Sayid just shot young Ben - introducing my sons to time paradoxes (if Sayid kills Ben he won't be there to kill Ben). I sent them to bed with a homework question - where did Locke's/Alpert's compass come from? :)

I can't hold it in any longer. Went to a friend's wedding this past weekend and Jon Gries was there! Apparently he's buds with the groom. I was too starstruck to approach him, unfortunately.

did you ask him "how much you wanna bet i can throw this football over them mountains"

That's the first thing that crossed my mind. Which is why I spared him by not saying anything.

My fiancé saw Jacob yesterday at Toronto union station, and he was lost! Hehe.

Just finished this series... can't be arsed to read upthread but holy fuck this was the lamest, most candy-ass ending imaginable. Good job writers.

Somewhat surprised one can find a petition to get the dude from Weezer to stop making albums but absolutely none came of getting Damon Lindelof to kill himself.

I loved the hell out of this show for most of its run, but season 6 and especially the final episode just completely poisoned the entire experience of discovery that I enjoyed so much about it.

Season 5 was the final season of one of my favorite shows ever. Season 6 was a long practical joke that you guys all fell for, LOL

Season 2 was my favorite, season 3 I didn't enjoy remotely, and at that point I came in with the common mentality of "well, i've made it this far!". Also there's an odd appeal to feeling part of a cult (following) that analyzes things like tattoos on sharks where are never relevant and never to be provided answers for.

think i might just think of it this way from now on

season six wasn't even that bad, it was the way they ended the show that was the worst imho.

nah, it wasn't bad, just....pointless

all the ancient history stuff could have been so awesome but it just ended up being so stupid.

the biggest mistake this show ever made was convincing itself it was about ~characters~ and not ~super awesome sci-fi weird spooky shit~

p much

the last 2 episodes were all-time for-the-history-books here's-how-not-to-do-it utter shit

"all the ancient history stuff could have been so awesome"

disagree. no show has ever managed to backfill mythology in a satisfactory way.

i love how they spent whole episodes on Richard Eyeliner only to have him end up in his final scene looking over Miles' (pointless character) shoulder when fixing the hydraulics of the plane. Good use of character efficiency and rank.
Lupidas was the worst character. Thank god they kept that pilot shirt on him so people could remember why the fuck anyone should care about him.
Charles Witmore's plotline weaved into seasons worth of storytelling? No problem, we'll just kill him off before anyone wonders why he (or his wife, or Daniel Farraday... the worst actor) was even mentioned in the first place.

The whole LOTR ending: shiny, liquid, monumental task (ring = cork, Desmond+Jack+Locke = Sam+Frodo+Gollum) parallel was just slopped together in the 11th hour obviously.

I mean, I could go on or spend hours reading the 50k unread skipped messages above but I'm just too bummed to. Fuck you JJ Abrams.

I mean, even the worst episodes in the first 5 episodes (Jack goes to Thailand, the Soap Opera couple with the gems) were somewhat defensible compared to this "oh fuck, how do we try and end this"

^^^first 5 seasons^^^

hahaha everytime this thread gets bumped i am instantly filled w/NERD RAGE thx to how bummed out i was by the ending

'even the worst episodes in the first 5 episodes (Jack goes to Thailand, the Soap Opera couple with the gems) were somewhat defensible compared to this "oh fuck, how do we try and end this"'

you don't think they are symptoms of the same disease?

Anytime a TV producer says "don't worry, there is a grand story/theme unifying all of this together, just wait and you will find out eventually"...

the most annoying thing is that after season 3 they went to ABC and asked for a finish date, IN ORDER TO SAVE THEMSELVES THE TROUBLE OF FLOUNDERING once the show got cancelled in season 9 or w/e. as a fan i remember being so stoked at this announcement and feeling assured that they were going to make the most out of every episode now that they knew exactly how many they had left.

then they went and started introducing new characters/arcs when they had like 4 episodes left. so dumb.

i think the thing that pisses me off even more than the awful ending are the ppl on the internet who try to defend it

Surely there are no such creatures.

also... Sayid Jarrah may be the worst written character in the history of TV. Gah....

It's a good thing he ended up in "the afterlife" with the woman he loved, killed for, kept a picture in his wallet for decades... lollllll

well give credit where it's due, that was the actor's idea, wasn't it?

Dunno how Sayid made the final cut for walking into the light when he was still casually killing dudes in purgatory.

yeah, was wondering if he bribed the writers. poor Nadia.

nb that church is like 2 mins away from my house and i get bummed every time i drive by it now
