Lost finale
 

Now that was a crappy finale. And the fact we had American Idol for two hours and ten minutes inbetween didn't help.

Re: Lost finale
 

I got that the last scene was a glimpse of the "future", I guess. Instead of answering a lot of questions, it just created new questions. I guess that's why I like the show.

I ****ing hate John Locke.

I also thought they actually killed Sayid, Bernard and Jin. I was really worried. Hahah.

Hurley was useful for once.

Re: Lost finale
 

you gotta be kidding me. that was a great episode.





The 'last scene' wasnt a glimpse of the future.. that was the whole flashback throughout the episode was the 'future' so to speak.
so instead of being on the island and having flashbacks of the past off the island... in this episode it was the opposite. the actual time was off the island afterwards and the flashbacks were from when they were on the island.

and im wondering if thats how they're going to continue the last 3 seasons of it. all post-island stories with flashbacks of the island to finish up the story from then. because we've pretty much learned all thier past anyway.


John Locke is the freaking man. he's the core of this show.


great great episode though. after all the disappointing finales, (like heroes and 24) this one made me forget all the disappointment's. and the office finale was pretty good too.

Re: Lost finale
 

I loved this finale.

And I don't think the last scene was a glimpse to the future, I think it was still an actual flashback, and they're trying to throw in a "Whaaaa, they knew eachother before the island" sort of thing.

Then again, I'm never right.

I actually laughed when Walt was standing above the grave and was talking to John. In a sense, he looked so stereotypically black-gangster standing there, and I was waiting for him to say "You gotta cap someone" after he said "You have work to do."


I was also really wishing the code was "Funkytown", ala South Park and Towlie.

Re: Lost finale
 

nah, i dont think it was any question. he says he wants the plan to crash so he could go back, they made a mistake and they were never meant to leave.

hes talking about the island.

my guess is the funeral was for either Locke or Ben. im leaning towards locke.

and obviously when kate says she has to get going be cause 'he'll' be waiting. shes with sawyer.

Re: Lost finale
 

I thought the finale was awesome. Of course I read all the spoilers so I knew what was going to happen.

John Locke is my favorite character and is central to the mythology of the show. Even though he is following his own path, he was acting like he too knew of the danger posed by contacting Naomi's boat.

The funeral was most likely for a man named Jeremy Banthem. J- -anthem is visible on the article, and "Jeremy Banthem" is the name of a philosopher. Several Lost characters are named after philosophers.

Re: Lost finale
 

It was definitely not Locke in the casket. He would die on the Island if he had to.

And yes, I'm sticking by my original statement. They could've done so much more with it. I thought it was the weakest of the three Lost finales by far. That final scene? It shouldn't been intense, not an awkward exchange between former friends.

Re: Lost finale
 

thats exactly the point of it though, sure if they left the island how they were now they'd be great. but you dont know what else happened on that island, and what else happened afterwards before that point.

they probably were together at some point, something happened, and seeing each other now would be awkward.


my tivo recorded the show, (i watched it in HD) but tivo doesnt have the quality to read the newspaper so i didnt see a name on it.

Re: Lost finale
 

The more I think about it, the more I really enjoyed the season finale. I was thinking about a couple of things, though:

- In one of the 'flash-forwards', jack tells the chief of surgery guy to find his father to see how drunk he is... but his dad is dead. Was this Jack just talking **** or is there a possibility he is alive?

- Jacob.... what?

-About my comments on Locke: I thought he was great the first season and 1st half of the second season, but his continuing feuds with Jack and his 'mystical connection' with the island got pretty lame. That's just me. I did enjoy the episode with Sawyer and Locke's father.

- How do you guys feel about Charlie's death?

Re: Lost finale
 

I felt it was friggin' due.
I was wondering how long they'd carry on the "Charlie's going to die, but not yet" thing for - to the point you'd think they're ****ing with you and you think he actually wont die.

I like how he didn't just die, but went out with something important to give to the next season.


PS. Why didnt he just leave the room, and lock the door after he's out?

Re: Lost finale
 

rofl I was thinking that, too. Maybe he just HAD to die.

Re: Lost finale
 

Well god knows how the real Sawyer got on the Island, and then there were all those times that Jack saw his dad, and the casket was empty. Something's going on there.

Yeah I don't even know. What about the bird that said Hurley's name a while ago? That was weird.

I haven't had any qualms with him, but it was pretty lame how he stood down when somebody answered the phone on the other end.

It was... different.


So I mainly think that what should have happened in the episode: John should've shot Jack. That would have made him badical. The tension just felt without purpose without him shooting Jack. And it would also add more questions about the flashforwards.

Charlie also should've had a more urgent death. As it stands, it just felt lame.

Re: Lost finale
 

well what i was thinking when i saw it, is he did it to save desmond, because penny was on the line, desmond woulda risked it to have a chance to talk to her. and if charlie ran out and shut the door desmond could have just opened it. only locking it from the inside coulda stoped him




that was just my initial impression of it. but hey, thats life, people always do things that you can step back and say, hey, why didnt you just do this? :p


the better question, was why didnt he just let the room fill up then swim out the broken window. unless they plan to have him back next season and say thats what he did. never know.

Re: Lost finale
 

The window was too tiny.
MAYBE CHARLIE IS THE ISLAND.


Who knows.
Lost is ****ed up.
It will either end up being one of the best shows ever made, or [depending on the ending] one of the worst, and stupidest ever.
