I posted this on FB already but...

The series finale of "Lost" entailed all of the characters waking up in bed with the late Suzanne Pleshette.

:D

Oops, I hope the show doesn't inspire any copycats.

Ok, so if they swam to the boat ... that means Desmond didn't take the boat.

WTF happened to Desmond??!?

Ben and Hurley pulled him up.

Ben: "Desmond is going to be ok. Maybe you can help get him off the island."
Hurley: "But you can't leave the island."
Ben" "That was Jacob's way. Perhaps there's a different way. A better way."

Then Ben stabbed Hurley in the face and jumped down the island's light-hole to become Smokey 2. Ok, not that, but the rest happened.

Hurley used his island superpowers to send him back to live happily ever after with Penny and little Charlie. That's how it is in my happy place, and I'm sticking to it!

As for the finale... I was underwhelmed. The "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Chapel" ending had me rolling my eyes.

Six years worth of questions, and very little pay-off. Blegh.

I'm glad I watched it as well. I also watched the "Enhanced" (POP-up) pilot eppy on Sat. I'm glad I did, cause I picked up on stuff I might well have forgotten. Little things like the shoe hanging in the bamboo forest where Jack landed (and went to die), and how the very first scene was Jack opening his eye, and it ended with him closing it.

Yes, but the Target ads were good, as Bill mentioned.

Did anyone get the "enhanced pop-ups" on their cell phones through Verizon? That was pretty fun as well.

I was waiting for Jack to realize that he was wearing ruby slippers all along.


Okayokayokay. I give. I'm going to start inquiring around here in Honolulu who has all the "Lost" seasons so far on DVD so I can borrow them...

Um, CP, I meant after that. Once they pulled Desmond up, what happened to him? He simply disappeared. If he was going to Desmond-disappear, they should have left him in the cork room where that was supposed to happen. Instead, sloppy writing or editing had them "save" him only to have him completely disappear with no explanation.

And it was stupid having Jack "save" Desmond, since he knew full well that Desmond can withstand the energy of The Light, and all he had was a hit on the head - while Jack had a fatal stab wound. Dumb.


Stupid editing and poor post-production compensation were also responsible for Ben escaping the unescapable tree fall. Lame.



scaeagles - I would have liked it much better, too, if the sideways timeline actually converged with the Island. I think them all being dead the whole time in the sideways world of matrix-fantasy was a cop-out, and kinda too creepy.

In that sense, did Juliette's detonation of the nuclear bomb really "work?" Faraday was wrong. Flight 815 didn't go on to land safely in Los Angeles. I suppose it was successful in that the Island did not blow up, and I guess the Dharma-stuck Losties were all catapulted forward in time to meet up with the other present-day Losties. But I'm not happy that Faraday was made wrong and the alt timeline is just where most Islanders go when they eventually die.


I'm just happy to be right that the story was about Limbo the whole time and though the writers can create a lot of good stuff, they were pulling most of that stuff out of their asses.

Check out Jimmy Kimmel's alternate LOST endings at the end of the show. They were very funny!

The whole Kimmel set reminded me of a Survivor reunion show. Sort of fitting.

I hope ABC broadcasts a pop-up finale soon.

They left the boat behind. Surely Desmond found it and used that to meet up with Penny. But I am sure there will be an extended version of the final on DVD, so maybe we'll see that along with Ben being freed from the tree that could not be moved.
