daveinspain Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well I was right all along... Right from the beginning I said that they were really all dead and the Island was like a purgatory type place. I did like the whole series and thought they came up with a good ending.... At least it wasn't a cop series or a hospital series or reality show. They came up with something different and complex and it worked... Good luck to all the cast in the future... Good show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm pretty disappointed with the direction they took the last few years. At any rate, it's good to know some answers.. It was a damn good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I saw the initial episode years ago and then never again. I too like other millions of people guessed the purgatory thing. that girl in that show is a hot piece of...well, she's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 So if I watched the first and last episodes I'm good to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It's hard to believe that show has been on since 2004! It seems like only last year when I started not watching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGSpecialguy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 that was one show that looked hugely popular but I found it difficult to just jump in the middle of without knowing anything about the story line or the characters, therefore I never watched the show,, 24 was my show on Monday nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 After 6 seasons and all the mysterious things going on, I was left feeling they left way too much twisting in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It wouldn't be Lost if they told you everything....what stuff would you have liked wrapped up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It wouldn't be Lost if they told you everything....what stuff would you have liked wrapped up? So, if they were all dead, is Sun & Jin's daughter a dream? They also setup a lot of time skip stuff, example: like Des & Penny's son Charles who looks a lot like a young Charles Widmore which makes the son older than the mother/father due to the twists of the islands time traveling. You see some hints of this in Widmore's office meetings with Des in both the original time line and the alternate timeline where this "utopia waiting area" is. There are many more things, like the way Walt was "special" but because the child actor went thru a growth spurt, they had to bury everything they setup with that. It just seems to me like they may have had an actual ending but it wasn't planned to last as long as it did. The show got way huge popular and the network wanted more and more so they wrote themselves into a pickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Yeah I don't think you are wrong....i like that they didn't answer all of the questions....the show was always about thinking for yourself and its fitting it ended that way....thats how I view it anyway...

Yeah, I enjoyed the show a lot, I watched it religiously. I was just expecting something more spectacular I guess. I mean, it was interesting how they ended it, but it was nothing new. Similar to the scenario with the film Jacob's Ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 It would have been 10 more seasons to answer all of those questions...and most of them would not have had any effect on the ending from what I can tell...

crazyhair Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I tried to watch one episode once, but it was so predictable I moved on to something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rame Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was dissaponted with it but I'm not gonna say it was terrible. And some parts of it were flat out awesome. I just felt like they left too many of the mysteries unanswered. I understand (and like) that they leave some of the mysteries unsolved which allows for people to formulate their own theories. I just kind of felt like the writers used that as an excuse to create mysteries that they never had any intention of solving or couldn't solve. Which makes it easy to just start thowing in weird stuff for the sake of being weird. (i.e. the bird that said "hurley!".... ) or to abandon long running mysteries whenever they want (i.e. women who get pregnant on the island die) The video Shred Astaire posted was a good example. That said, I did enjoy the show alot and thought that it was better than most anything out there in the last 6 years. Definitely a good ride regardless.
