Lost! - Page 151

By the way, in Zlick's Lost, Daniel Farday is of course quite aware of the illusion of the sideways universe while he's in it (as is his mom). But he also knows that there are an infinite number of alternate realities, the Island and "real" reality being just two of them. In the sideways world, he's just met Charlotte and is still buzzing off playing with Driveshaft - so he's gonna stick around there awhile.

As long as steak tastes like steak, he's fine with that - - and in no hurry to move on to his fated journeys through dozens of other quantum dimensions.

(I'm likely not going to devise a fate for every Lostie - but Daniel was a standout in staying behind in Sideways Land. I might come up with something good for Desmond and a few others. And wow, now I get to come up with some cool plots for Hugo and Ben: The Animated Series. Can't wait!)

Yes, I want to see a Hugo and Ben half hour situation comedy.....Cindy is still on the Island, as are the two tail section kids....that's a start, isn't it?

Lost Finale seen by 20.5 million
That's more like what I was expecting.

But, wow, MASH seen by 105 million. Holy Guacamole, Batman!

Hmm, 1/5 as many viewers with 175X as many viewing options, I'd say that's not bad.

I remember Ellen's sitcom getting huge numbers when she came out on her show. 40 mil or so... That's huge, too. But even back then, there were less channels than there are now...like GD said.

Do they have an accurate way to add in people who DVR it or watch it online?

innerSpaceman · 05-25-2010, 03:56 PM

Hmmm, I guess there were a larger quantity of unanswered questions than I thought.

Hoot of a video. The unanswerds fly fast and furious. If you're a Lostie, you'll enjoy.

Great stuff, and that's just scratching the surface.

BTW, since I didn't shed a tear for Jin and Sun when they drowned, instead feeling cheated that they died within a few hours of finding each after after 2 or 3 seasons' worth of searching and pining - I've come up with a real tear jerker for Zlick's Lost.

When they each get flashed in the sideways world and realize it's a sham, they at first don't want to leave - even though it's hard to make steak taste like steak once you know it's made of toasty oats. But by talking to each other in their new-found English about their respective flashes, Sun realizes that Jin is actually ALIVE on the Island and did not die on the freighter. And despite that sideways world is beyond the constraints of time, I'm gonna use better storytelling logic and have it be that those memory flashes only include memories of things that happened before the nuclear bomb explosion/energy release combo that thrust everyone into the sideways universe in the first place.

So Jin and Sun don't know they've died on the Island, and think they can be reunited there in real life and perhaps even escape to find their infant daughter who cries nightly, pining for her missing mom. Oh the suspense and tears as they head for the reverse donkey wheel or whatever bizarre devise gets the Awakened Ones from sideways world back to the Island - because they're not getting there at all. They are dead, but they just don't know it. They'd find themselves rotting on the bottom of the ocean when they wake-up there, except they don't wake up. Sad, sad, sad when they risk their sideways fake togetherness for real Island reunification - - but FAIL. Oh, how tragic.

Only later in the show, when its revealed that the Island is limbo - with death and perhaps other dimensions of afterlife realities lying ahead for everyone - do we realize Sun and Jin may be together, ahead of the game or, in any event, no worse off than anyone else. Because everyone's dead. Some just don't know it yet.

Or hey, perhaps Sun and Jin can come "back to life" that way, while the existence of two Jacks, two Kates, two Hurleys, two Desmonds and a couple of Sawyerses leads to all sorts of matter/anti-matter shenanigans that can figure greatly into the destruction, uncorking, light going outing of the island.

So many possibilities. All better than the crap we were served.
