Lost!

[sleepyjeff]

I went to the New York Times Lost event tonite.......

A few observations:

1) Emmerson is a lot bigger looking on a stage with his producers than he looks on the show.......

2) The writers pretty much admit that ~Across the Sea~ sucked.

3) The writers also admit that many of the questions we will still have after the show is all done are due to writing mistakes they made, mostly in Seasons 2 and 3.

4) Damon reveals that the TV show that most inspired him to become a writer...........ISM is going to love this.................~Twin Peaks~

5) Garcia, when asked if he understood the ending, hinted that he wasn't sure if he got it or not, but then shrugged and said "yeah, I got it".

Wasn't a waste of time to go to this event, but I got in for free(wife, theater manager), not sure if it was really worth whatever they were charging people.....although they did show a sizeable clip from the finale, which was enjoyable, but not all that revealing.

Spoiler----contains a brief description of a scene from the final episode:

Spoiler:

Sawyer confronts FLocke and Ben at the well. After exchanging pleasentries Sawyer steals a gun away from Ben...Flocke dismisses Sawyer with a neener-neener that all the candidates are going to die to which Sawyer says "I am not a candidate anymore"......this gives Flocke a mild pause, but he still doesn't care. After Sawyer leaves he explains to Ben that there will be no Island for Ben to Lord over, but if Ben stays with him, he can have a spot on Flockes boat after the Island sinks.

Then, inspecting the well a little closer, Flocke discovers paw prints

Interesting. In the final Official Lost Podcast, Darlton discussed the episode and did not think it sucked. They did acknowledge it was a very controversial episode and they were shocked by the vehement reactions to it. But that was recorded a week ago and they could have changed their minds in the interim.

They didn't actually come out and say it sucked, but listening between the lines gave me the impression that they were embarrassed by it....and they were definitely practicing empathy towards those who thought it did.
