It did make sense. The bomb went off....and later the "tell the future asian guy" told Sawyer that his girlfriend had a message for him....that "it worked". That they were together in the end.

 

I guesss im curious what you were looking for in the ending?

 

So the bomb was what made them all go to heaven together? I've never heard that theory before and that's not what the show's creators said. The whole point of the bomb and the incident and the big mission of the entirety of Season 5 was to change the past so the Oceanic crash never happened in the first place. So if "it worked", that would mean they never went to the island, those people never knew each other, and wouldn't be meeting up in heaven. :dunno:But it seems you are doing exactly what the producers wanted you to do, which is forget everything you previously saw because they poured a lot of sappy music and hugging and crying in your face and you were like awwwwww.... I feel good.

 

What I was looking for in the ending is something that made focking sense. At all. In Season 6 I was worried we were watching a parallel universe that was created by the bomb where the plane never crashed and characters live happily ever after. I was disappointed with that direction. But after I saw the finale, that would have been 1000 times better than what they actually came up with.

 

The only people I know that loved the ending of Lost were either casual viewers or people that were so obsessed with the show that they couldn't admit that it sucked.

Lindelof: It’s like when you spend time with a 3-year-old, you quickly find out that one question just begets another — there’s a “why” in the wake of every “why” — and the only way to end the conversation is to say, “Oh look, a Chuck E. Cheese!” The show is doing its best to say, “Oh look, Chuck E. Cheese!” For example, we’ve now given the viewers as much as we’re willing to say about the numbers, and we’re moving on.

 

 

The audience were the three year olds and they were tired of their questions about the very story they created, but couldn't answer and were shutting us up by saying "Oh look, Chuck E. Cheese!", Chuck E. Cheese being the hugging and crying and rejoicing and hugging. I'm one of the ones that thinks the pizza there sucks.

There was a smoke monster and a polar bear on an island within two shows.........but you want it to make sense and have some neat little answer wrapped up like a present? :dunno:

 

Well it made sense to me, and although it was confusing.....the ending did make sense if you watched thoroughly enough. now did it get wrapped up rather quick considering how lengthy the show was? Of course.......but doesnt mean it didnt make sense.

I wanted it to make sense because the producers spent 5 years assuring everyone that they weren't making it up as they went along and there was a believable explanation to the mythology that we would some day learn. Which is why I kept watching. Like they wanted me to. Then all of sudden Season 6 rolls around and their story becomes.... oh none of that crap matters. It's all about the characters, dumbass. You must not "get it". Want some Chuck E. Cheese?

 

I'm not getting on your case and this is 6 month old news. It's a debate that cannot be won. The people that loved it won't change their minds and the people that hated it won't either. It's just more fun to argue about than politics. :lol:

It still baffles me that people dont get the ending of the show.......

 

 

Watch effing Jersey Shore or friggin Friends if you want something mindless you dont have to think about.....

 

 

Great show.....

 

As the rabid Lost fan community, and if you go back and read all the Lost season long threads, we loved the show. Up to and including Season 5.

 

Season 6 sucked a d!ck. Poor acting. Poorly written episodes. Poor mythology. Cheesy effects. New characters introduced that meant nothing. People standing around doing nothing for half a season at a time. Alternative storyline completely meaningless. Next to nothing explained. Finale sucked balls. Smoke monster turned out to the hero, Jacob a villain. Desmond was nothing special. Charlie died for no reason. Jack was wrong about how to save the island. Locke's death was meaningless. Sayid doesn't spend the afterlife with Nadia. A broken plane with duct tape takes off. The Lucky Charms cave. Dharma meant nothing. The Others were dupes. Widmore meant nothing.

 

NOTHING. It all meant nothing. These awful, awful people deserved to be burning in Hell, not meeting in some Matrix purgotary, some with their loved ones, some not, and a lot of key people not there. Thousands of people died on that island for nothing. We got no conclusion. It was all bullsh!t. At least "it was all a dream" would have been more satisfying. It was a sharp stick in the eye of fans.

 

So, the end of LOST was Juliet smashing the bomb with a rock and everything goes to white. The End. It's perfect. We all assume they land in Los Angeles, and everything reset. The End. Perfect. Season Six didn't exist.

I would have been ok with that ending too philly.

 

I still think they could have spun this show once they all got back since the characters were so good...at least the core ones were.

It's my own dam fault for building up my expectations so high. I'm a fairly intelligent moron, but I felt the writers were on a high level of thought process for this show. Turns out, they really didn't have all the answers and how to properly end the show. Which is such a shame, because this show could have been such a triumph, a masterpiece for the ages. Alas, it was not meant to be.

 

Yeah, they had created great characters. But those characters seemed to stop doing great things during Season 6, with a few exceptions. The Locke episode, the Richard episode, the episode of the sinking sub, the Sayid episode. I make good eggs; and how exactly does one die in the afterlife. RIP Keamy.

The only decent episode was across the sea IMO for season 6. At least we didn't have to put up with all the flash sideway's.

 

I agree with Philly here season 6 was terrible though it started off decent with that first episode and the Richard episode was decent but every other one was terrible. Had to be maybe the worst finale I ever saw as I put it up there with Seinfeld.

 

Ending it season 5 would have left even more holes. It needed season 6 to be better and the writers put so much pressure on themselves by limiting Lost to 6 seasons they just found any sloppy way to end it.

This was a recap of Across the Sea that I found after the episode when I started lost forums to see what people were saying. This guy's recaps of the Season 6 episodes had me loling.

 

His finale recap was epic.

Season 6 was so terrible that it managed to make seasons 1-5 irrelevant as well. The show was an epic failure in hindsight. The only "success" related to this show was the con. The con that was pulled on the viewer for 5 seasons.

 

HTH

That must be it.

 

Since I am clearly not intelligent enough to understand the deeper meanings of Lost, can you please explain to me in four sentences or less what the entire plot of Season 5 was about and what it had to do with anything as shown in the finale? In short, explain the whole must go back to the island to set off the bomb and hop around in time attempting to change history and make the plane crash never happen in the first place and if this didn't work then "God help us all" per Eloise Hawking storyline.

 

If you think there was something to "get", YOU weren't paying attention.

 

The only "ending" that was planned all along was that the last scene was going to be Jack closing his eye. And anyone with half a brain could have, and did guess that many years ago.

 

I could argue for hours about the finer details of Lost that made absolutely no sense, but if I'm going to do that, I want to do it with someone that actually knows what they are talking about.

 

:overhead:

 

Also I must be really bored to be talking about Lost again. Can someone start a thread about problematic bowel movements or something?

:rolleyes: Again, you mistake antipathy for confusion. We 'get it.' The 'it' simply blew chunks.

 

For six seasons they strung us along based entirely on the mystery of the island. Why can't it be about both the island and the characters? I'll tell you why. It's because they didn't have any satisfying way of wrapping it all up.

 

It's easy to create mystery. A dump on the carpet can be a mystery. Resolving the mystery to the satisfaction of the viewer is the hard part. The dog did it. That's not mindblowing. But wait, it was grandma in the dining room with the Metamucil. In this case, the writers' reach clearly exceeded their grasp. Presenting questions you made up and don't know the answer to yet act as if you do through six seasons is extremely pathetic and douchey.

 

They told us we were going to Outback and then stopped at Jack in the Box instead. :thumbsdown:

:D This is why Lost is such a great series. 7 months after the finale, people are still arguing over it as if it had just happened.

 

Bottom-line: First 5 seasons were brilliant. Season 6 was polarizing. I thought season 6 was good as an individual season, but bad when connected to the first 5 seasons. It was fine until Across the Sea. That episode was incredibly disappointing. Everything happened because of a light in a cave that we still have no explanation for? Really? After that i knew they weren't going to close out the mythology in a satisfactory way, so i lowered my expectations for the finale, as everyone should have.

 

The finale was fine for the season, shatty for the series. It was a great piece of art, but left too many holes in the series and failed to explain a lot. The alternate time-line was a huge letdown, i GET it, but i don't see why they had to do that for the whole season.

 

I will eventually watch the whole series again. The first 5 seasons were incredible and are definitely worth watching over again. Most shows have disappointing endings, but that still doesn't discount the good seasons prior to that.

 

BTW, maybe because I was into it at the time as i was only 9, but i thought the Seinfeld finale was really good. It was the right way to end it, to see all the characters again and reflect back on the ridiculousness of the characters and their stories.

So I have a friend that's never watched Lost. He wants to watch it and wants me to watch with him. I have been contemplating it for the sole purpose of collecting all the storylines, quotes, plots, sub-plots, etc. that make absolutely no focking sense based on Season 6's answers. I have the next two weeks off until I start my new job. Am I insane for thinking about re-watching Lost?

Lost started my freshman year of college. So, I was too busy getting drunk and chasing tail to follow a tv series. A month ago I watched the first episode on Netflix streaming. 4 days ago, I finished watching the last episode. I was watching 5 or 6 episodes in a row some nights and it was awesome.

 

I agree that season 6 was the worst. The episode with Jacob and his brother as kids was painfully slow and the ending was just too Hollywood feel good. I also agree that ending it at season 5 would have worked well.

Season 6 was an absolute abomination and an insult to anyone who put faith in the show.

 

In my mind, the series ended with the Season 5 finale and the first few minutes of Season 6 seeing all the Losties on the plane to LAX and not crashing on the island. While that may have been disappointing because there were so many questions unanswered, they still were unanswered when the show ended and I wouldn't have had to endure the giant turd they tried to shove down my throat. It would have left a lot of room for discussion and conjecture and would not have been nearly as insulting as what they delivered to us in Season 6.

 

But you didn't answer my question. Am I a focking retard for contemplating re-watching the whole series knowing what I know now? I feel like I'll watch every little detail from the early seasons knowing how it ended and it will end up being even more ludicrous than I thought it was when Seasons 1-5 were a distant memory for me.

As much as I enjoyed it, I don't think I would ever rewatch the series. Knowing how everything turns out and knowing what will happen next will destroy the suspense.

I feel sorry for the retreads that got hooked after the first show. I couldn't imagine having to wait that long to find out what was gonna happen next.

Of course I'm one of the retreads that is currently anticipating season 2 of Game of Thrones.

 

If you just watch it through netflix or whatever within a few weeks, season 6 is just fine.

The problem is that you donks had way too much time to analyze stoopid crap in between episodes and seasons. It's pretty much your fault.
