And now it's time to play ...

[apocalypsos]

Okay, this is what I'm getting:

Halfway through season one:

JJ Abrams* walks into the break room to find Damon Lindehof* angrily throwing aside a copy of EW.

LINDEHOF: Goddamn it, they're onto us!

ABRAMS: What do you mean?

LINDEHOF: The it's-all-purgatory theory is in the lead!

ABRAMS: Oh. Huh.

LINDEHOF: What are we going to do?! If everybody figures it out this early, we're screwed!

ABRAMS: Well. okay. What if we just throw in an alternate universe and make THAT purgatory?

LINDEHOF: ... you're a fucking GENIUS.

ABRAMS: We're still going to make sure nothing makes sense, right?

LINDEHOF: Oh, of course not. That would just be silly.

* Feel free to swap those names around.

Remember, kids, I tease because I love. :D

So many outraged Lost fans...

You got it! I kept hearing God!Kripke saying "endings are hard..the fans will bitch, they'll always be plot holes..."

now back to leaving outraged comments on all the blogs posts...

All I could figure out from reading other people's blog posts was that if I had still been watching, I would have been PISSED.

Then again, most of the reason I stopped watching was because I finally realized that I would have much rather watched a show that was just about a plane crashing on an island and the survivors carrying on -- no Dharma, no hatch, no time-travel BS. (And I *like* timey-wimey stuff, but ... no.)

see i really started enjoying the show when i let go of the mythology stuff and just enjoyed the character exploration. Along the way the myth stuff added some great colour and movement.

So basically the finale was all the characters reuniting with loved ones, hugging each other, having rosy flashbacks and getting to live (or well die) happily ever after. My main problem was that EVERYONE got a happy ending. Rivalries were forgotten or forgiven and evil guys became good. Which i suppose is a fair representation of what people hope Heaven is.

I am just cynical enough to prefer Supernatural's version of the universe.

Nods...I originally thought it was going to be a little more survival/apocalyps-y. Once I realized it was going to be 'let's throw increasingly bizaare things into the mix and never ever explain anything' I gave up on the show.

Despite the fact that I have never watched the series, I am just devouring the reviews of the finale. Mom made me a bet yesterday afternoon that it would all be a dream or they were all dead. She wins. We didn't actually bet anything, thank goodness.

She was thinking of Dallas when she guessed.

Shoot, I watched the last 30 minutes just because even though I think I've watched 2 entire episodes and when I figured out what they were doing even I was still a little pissed off.

I haven't watched the show since season two, but I keep singing "It was purgatory all along" in the style of Troy McClure singing "It was Earth all along" and cracking myself up. I like this conversation of yours. :D

[beanarie.livejournal.com]

Lol whatever. Haters gotta hate.

[emella.livejournal.com]

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! EXACTLY!!

*has just watched the series finale after on and off watching for 6 years*

Fucking stupid, that finale was like the stupidest piece of crap I wasted 2.5 hours on since I saw the movie A.I.

WTF were they thinking.

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

Yup.

(This is the second show I haven't watched in years and is totally over but I love my icon for it much more so I keep it.)

I was okay with the finale and I hesitate to look too closely at why that is simply because it's been a long time since I was cool with ANY episode of Lost. I do know that my okayness doesn't have much to do with any sense of canonical triumph. Ya know, like, "Wow, they really came through forus fans!" I suspect I just enjoyed having a good cry because the next day I started my cycle. But here's my one remaining rhetorical question: Where the hell was Michael and his son? Even their dog got a cameo, so where were they? My one question to other fans is: So does was the finale saying that they all died when the plane crashed in the first place?
