Lost - The Final Season (Spoilers)

[Chaplin]

seriously dude? I said they write backwards and it leads to plot holes. I also love the show regardless of it because they're usually damn good at doing so. But if you want to pick fights... in the TV forum of all places... well, then do what you will. I hope you can get over whatever issue it is you have with me because this kind of stuff, putting words into my mouth, whatever, is just not necessary. We're talking about a TV show for pete sake.

Sheesh, calm down. It wasn't meant to be serious.

 

[Gaddabout]

So do we know for sure if there's no new episode this week? Need to plan my week.

 

[PDXChris]

If Jack jumping off the sailboat was live and not special effects he almost killed himself. His head missed the side of the boat by a foot max.

My wife said the same thing.

Yup - they are replaying the one about Richard's history tonight. Next new episode is next Tuesday night.


Aarrggh!

Damon Lindeloff sort of hints that a lot of us will be pissed off at the ending.

I gotta tell you, a show that ends a mystery who's entire hook is that it's a big mystery will be very dissappointing. I mean, I'm not one who wants a nice neat little bow wrapped around a box of answers, but if the questions asked at the end aren't the right kind, that will suck.

In here is the ultimate spoiler to the end.

Yeah. I hate it when shows leave me completely unsatisfied--generally the show has an excuse because it's been canceled before it could do what it set out to do (see: Carnivale), but Lost is ending on its own timetable (no pun intended).

A tease for tonight:

I'll admit, I cried...

I wonder if Sawyer hadn't of pulled the wires if the bomb would have exploded like Jack said.

Ridiculous explosive devices and gratuitous main cast kill offs? I thought 24 was on Monday nights!

No, I think Sawyer is the one who made it happen...if they had left it alone, it wouldn't have exploded.

I wonder how Sayid knows "It's Jack."

Awhile ago on my blog I posted my theory of the place being a Satan thing, Garden of Eden...and Jacob was an angel guarding his escape lest the world be destroyed.

I even mentioned that this Locke guy would be sitting next to Jack on the beach 100 years in the future saying "You know how badly I want to kill you Jack?"

Seems like it's been Jack all along.

Spoiler

3 of my 5 favorite main characters dead in one episode. Sad, sad day. (Although to be fair, Sayid wasn't much of a character anymore)

Spoiler

they might be dead, but that doesn't mean they're gone. no one's ever gone in this show.

good episode though.

 

[Gaddabout]

Given my own recent history, that episode was very hard to watch. But I have to tip my hat. They got me emotionally invested in these characters but they're not afraid to sacrifice them and they're not just throwing them away. Every single death has been heroic, poignant, or both. And redemptive. These people have been toyed with by the gods, stripped of their basic dignity. It makes their heroism plausible -- trying to steal back an ounce of dignity before their inevitable deaths.

so what are the odds at least one of them appear on hurleyvision by the end?

I feel for you Matt, it must have been difficult.

It was kind of a slaughter, but I think it was something that had to happen. This whole time Locke has been trying to find a way to get them all in one place and have them kill each other because he can't do it.

I love how Jack is right now...the way the faith has changed.

I really think he's the next Jacob.

The finale is getting the full MASH treatment, expanded an extra 30 minutes (2.5 hours total)

My theory is that the flash-sideways now becomes more important because everyone is still alive.

My favorite line of this past show was when Locke and Jack were talking at the hospital about letting go and Jack says "I was hoping you'd go first".

I actually liked the line when Jack nods his head to ol' Smokey and goes "I'm with HIM."

LOL.

You know how long we waited to find out what the smoke monster was, and now we have a line about Jack being "with him."

So crazy.

LOL.

I liked it when Jack comes to in the canoe and looks at Sayid who says, "at least you didn't have to row."

I snorted.

 

[Shane]

I'll admit, I cried...

We knew that before you told us.

 

[Russ Smith]

I was hoping nobody would die but if you think about it they said before that all the candidates that have been brought to the island before died. So if only one candidate is going to "win" it sort of implies some if not all of the others were going to die.

They were on Widmore's list so that screws up his plans too.

It seemed really obvious to me that Locke had put the explosives in the backpack, they showed him helping Jack put the pack on and lingered too long on it. Also it took Locke way too long to get out of the water when Jack shoved him in so he was clearly waiting to make sure they got on the sub. Thought it was interesting he held Claire back, why does he care if she lives? Seems like if he was going to save any of them it would have been Lapidus to fly the plane.

They all accepted too easily that Locke said we can't take the plane there may be more C4 on it, the C4 was the size of a brick it would seem pretty easy to find if wanted to look for more but they all just immediately accepted ok lets take the sub.

It was also sort of an "equalizer" episode, now Jack doesn't have to feel so guilty for the bomb, now Sawyer's actions led to 3 people dying Jack doesn't have to be so guilty for Juliet dying.
