Season finale starts in 20 minutes for me, I'm so fucking pumped to see it.

I don't really like the direction the ending is heading but I've accepted that I enjoyed the ride and even if the ending is disappointing it was well worth watching. I just want to know where the show ends up and I am ready accept whatever crappy ending they throw my way.

12 minutes away from the end of the season finale and I still have a billion questions unanswered. This better be the most epic 12 minutes in television history because so far they haven't explained so much shit.

just wikid it, havent watched since the end of season three because there is no way i can watch it on campus. The ending makes perfect sense....JJ Abrams is a lazy and incompetent film maker that is celebrated for his mediocraty, anyone that couldn't see that being the only ending he could come up with has more faith in the world than i do.

Well the ending sucks!

My only explanation is that the writers got lost with all the mysteries and they couldn't write a solid ending.
JJ Abrams said when the series first came out and everyone was saying that there was no way the mysteries he had come up with could have any logical conclusion and said he making it up as he went along that he knew all along where the series was going and what the answer was.

Jasper, you do know that JJ Abrams has not much to do with it right besides being one of the executive producers?The two main dudes for this series is Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, Lost is their child in terms of making it. Abrams is co-creator from the get go, but since I followed Lost since then, pretty much the two guys I mentionned that been running it.


And I literally just watched the ending end 1 minute and 30 seconds ago. Let me digest it a bit. Even if I have been expecting not to be given any better for atleast a season and a half (understood early on in season 5, they wouldnt really come through to what they been touching on).

Spoiler Alert















I didn't expect a fulfilling explanation for everything but what pissed me off is how little they explained. I still have so many questions that they just copped out on. Extremely weak ending IMO for not even attempting to provide any explanation for so much of the phenomenon that happened throughout the show.

Disregarding my little rant from yesterday I rewatched "The End" today and nearly shed a tear when Jack closesd his eye. However I still think that they left too much open for speculation.

Character wise, emotionally speaking, the finale was real good, sad characters you cared about and that has been so well fleshed out throughout the seasons having their peace of mind (several genuinly tear jerking scenes). Its the mythology and analyzing and answering of the plot mysteries that fell flat in the finale, you know, lacking closure in a minor thing called story (though defenitely closure for the characters).

Actually I didnt expect them to tell that at all, so I wasnt dissapointed in that regard alone (I came to terms with them not doing that long while back when I realized they were rushing it, and was dissapointed then), I expected a good vs evil duel as we saw mainly. But whats dissapointing, and many people have commented on, is they said even if we disregard lack of answers due to the emotional content of the finale, whats fucked up is the cop out that is the last 10 minutes (essentially last 30 mins in a way). Its really a lazy ass way to cap it all, thats without any doubt. So uber vague and blaze, to have it all be somekind of middle passage between death and afterlife, walking to the light.

Thank God I truly enjoyed the ride, pretty much almost every second of it (never will be anything like it again), because otherwise this last bit would totally ruined the series for me otherwise. But the characters are way too good for that to happen, essentially they are what matters most of all.

don't think any answer could have been satisfactory, Os...in the end, they did it all mushy and poignant...a cop out, but a wonderful one nonetheless.

Was same all day for me, it took time to digest it.

Eventually came to terms that the wonderful characters emotional resolution is more important the lazy and weak ending. Which they seriously must been confused about, if that was what they came up with.
