Lost final season

[Gamerforlife]

I need to check that show out. Looks cool whenever I manage to catch it.

You mean Chuck? Very fun show, lots of action, humor, drama and romance. It's also full of pop culture references, particularly on the geeky side of things. Comic books, video games, sci fi, you'll see lots of fun references from the geek culture on that show. What's nice about Chuck too is that the story actually moves forward, things change, characters grow. It's not formulaic, same thing every week crap like most shows on tv.

Chuck has a small, but loyal fanbase that have managed to keep the show on the air despite always being one of those on the bubble shows ratings wise. Chuck just got picked for yet another season, and just like last season's finale, this one's finale looks to be shaking up the show's status quo. Chuck is one of the most underappreciated shows on tv.

I'm so glad I haven't bothered with this one.

Please no body watch this show....

I must admit, Lost is one of the most entertaining shows to watch. Whoever is behind it worked really hard to make it interesting, but it fired back...

The interesting thing about Lost is the mystery, and you keep watching to reveal the mystery of the island and what is going on. After 6 years, its almost like you are on episode one. There is no explanation. None at all.

On the first episode it was really interesting to see where they fell, what is the island, what is this weird stuff going on. The point of the show "LOST" is to reveal where they are lost, its an adventure. Six years later they still don't explain it.
Main plot reasons are unexplained .

1)WHERE? Where does the story takes place? We still don't know if its a dream, after-life, or reality.
2) What is the island? What is that light? Why you can't conceive children on that island?
3)How does Whitmore and Dharma can travel from and back to the island, but the recruits have to crash in an airplane in certain time and space just to find it?
4)Time Travel?
5) Up until now (Show is over) we know NOTHING about why anyone working there
-What was the Dharma initiative exactly doing?
-Why did the smoke monster want to leave?
-Why is Linus is very connected to the island?
-What was whitmore doing?
and even more...

Lost was interesting because its a journey to unravel a mystery, and as you watch and anticipate , the story moves forward(and even making it more complexed to squeeze more ads revenue), in the end the mystery is not revealed . Its still a mystery, Just like it was Season 1 Episode 1.

I would have been ok with an uninteresting conclusion, like they smoke monster is a pigment of their imagination representing the evils within themselves, or anything stupid like that, and when they killed it they learned how to forgive and love each other, then they fly home and everyone is happy and continue to live their lives.

But no, there is no conclusion. Even Sopranos finale was more interesting and satisfying that this.

I don't know why people working on movies and tv shows choose such stories and endings , they could have put any explanation that works.

Watching this show is pointless, even though its very entertaining , it has no end. Alternative shows on tv exist and you are welcomed to enjoy them.

I am very sorry to say they ruined one of the best shows in TV history.

Maybe, just maybe, they can release a season titled "The Lost "Lost" episodes" to explain
everything to fix this mess.

A few of the Dharma questions are answered in some fan alternate reality game called "the lost experience" http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lost_Experience

I think the ending in alternate universe was a little meh
the on island ending I enjoyed. If they would of just nixed the alternate universe bs and stuck with the island I think it would of been a better season. Knowing those few escaped and closing with Jack's death.


Someone was mentioning why doesn't Locke just get all smokey on Jack's ass. I'm guessing when the light went out so did his smoke power. After the light went out he was able to be hurt and later killed.

It needed to end with Bob Newhart waking in bed saying he had the strangest dream about some people on an island. Jimmy Kimmel Gave me something similar, but that would have been an acceptable copout ending to me.

In all honesty: the show was great the first season, seasons two and three were ok but noticeably weaker than the first (that is what happens when your writers go to work on a movie), but once they introduced the time skips it jumped the shark. It was still watchable, a bit campy and goofy though, but they left us with way too many questions unanswered. I guess I am just disappointed that they took the easy way out. I was hooked at episode three and so I highly recommend everyone watch atleast the first four episodes.

I really want to know what the deal was with the polar bears?

I like Jimmy Kimmel's alternate ending where Snoop Dogg inhales the smoke monster.

But you see, they never explained why the light turned MIB into a smoke monster. We don't even know if the light DID turn him into a Smoke Monster. We just know he went into the cave, died and somehow became immortal and Smokey after that. In fact, what is the signifigance of that smoke form? Why of all the things he could turn into, the writers chose a cloud of smoke that makes machine-like sounds? WTF!? And explain to me why he didn't just DIE when the light went out. If the light made him able to turn into Smoke, then it should also be what resurrected him after Jacob killed him and should be the reason he is able to take the form of the dead. That means he should no longer have looked like Locke when the light went out and he shouldn't even have still been alive. I still don't know how the guy got all these abilities. Jack and Desmond went in the cave and didn't get super powers. And who the hell were those dead bodies in the cave. WTF!? WHY DO THE WRITERS CONSTANTLY KEEP THROWING RANDOM SHIT IN EVERY EPISODE THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF EXPLAINING!? DAMNIT!?

After the finale, NOTHING on the show makes any sense. Everyone is saying Jack was meant to go to the island and he represents the victory of faith in the faith vs reason/science argument. No he doesn't. He thought he was MEANT to detonate the hydrogen bomb and you know what? The bomb did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING since we know now that it didn't create the sideways reality. Juliet died for nothing and I honestly don't know why Sawyer HASN'T killed Jack. It took a lot less for Locke to convince Sawyer to kill his dad.

Was Jack MEANT to become Jacob and fight Smokey. Well since Smokey kicked his ass, Hurley became Jacob, and it was Kate that actually killed Smokey, I'd say no. Anyone could have made the choice that Jack made to become Jacob and fight Smokey, Jack wasn't meant to do shit. He was just as delusional as Locke was. He wasn't even right about Demond. And what the hell was so important about stopping Smokey and protecting the island anyway. If the island sinks, so what? We don't even know why that has global importance. And personally, I WANTED Smokey to escape the island. He's been forced against his will to stay there since he was born by evil people like his mom and his crazy brother Jacob. I'm suppossed to be rooting for Jack to kill him? Well, if that is what the writers wanted they shouldn't have shown us the previous episode which only made me sympathize with the man in black.

I swear the writers had NO FRIKKIN IDEA what they were doing this season

Some of the questions you guys asked in previous posts HAVE been answered though. The polar bears are because of the Darma experiments, which explain ALL strange animal related activity on the island. And a lot of kingmohd84's questions have already been answered but I'm not in the mood to address them all now, maybe in a future post

Yeah, guys - some of your questions have been answered so I'm not going to go into the specifics some of you have. There are comprehensive sites that list the mysteries. I suggest Lostpedia.

The point is, there ARE mysteries left unexplained. No (reasonable) fan could have expected them all to be answered, and some mysteries that people wanted answered weren't mysteries at all, so again, check Lostpedia.

The base argument will continue to be the decision concerning what Cuse and Lindelof thought this show was about, and by extension, what they thought should be an "end".

I will say it again: EVERY show (minus some weird exceptions like talking food or something...) has characters, and at the end of either the show or the characters' lives, they die. Most people believe in an afterlife. I myself believe the afterlife/flash-sideways conclusion was a clever way to show the end of their lives, BUT AN END TO THESE CHARACTERS IS IRRELEVANT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SHOW'S BASIC PREMISE.

In the first season, in (one of) the first episodes, Charlie says "Guys, where are we?" If everything surrounding that question never had an answer, then the audience never had a reason to stay interested, hence why some people stopped watching. The rest of us expected that answer to come by the end and were willing to keep watching.

Fiction writers' very job is to make shit up. The fact that they couldn't make a stand and reveal some answers indicates that they are horrible at their job. Cuse and Lindleof's excuse for not giving answers? "Mother" in "Across the Sea" echoes what they've said in podcasts: "Every answer will just be met with another question." Really? Last I checked, they were the writers! THEY ALONE COULD GIVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER! It's almost like a parent who refuses to accept responsibility for their child. With that in mind...Cuse and Lindelof should be put in jail.

I know that the Dharma Initiate brought the polar bears there. But why polar bears? Why not black bears or grizzly? And how did that one end up in Tunisia? Lostpedia says nothing about those three questions, neither do the books on the subject. And I know yall dont have the answer, I still have the questions though.

See, that's not a mystery. It's an irrelevant question. There were many types of animals brought, the polar bear being one. The one in Tunisia got there the same way Ben and Locke did. It was transported through a wormhole due to the electromagnetic anomalies present on the island, likely in an experiment by Dharma, just like their bunny experiment.
