Oh shit: http://www.facebook.com/LOST?v=wall&story...3390800099

So many people just didn't get it : )

Don't get involved in any kind of series while it's still running.

Found the ending "ok".. nothing amazing like some of the previous episodes in season 6.. but i guess as a whole it was awesome. I probably would of enjoyed it more watching it back to back.

I like how Hurley+Ben are left on the island, which means theres always a possibility of a new series.. with new characters/story.

I didn't like how you never find out how they all die, i was kind of expecting the plane to explode (whatever happend to all the explosives..) but i guess it leaves it open for future series.. and i guess they cant show flash forwards of when there all old and die of cancer..

I sure will miss looking forward to it every week :(

amazing episodes?
lost stopped being amazing since 3rd season...

someone to summarize the whole serie in a sentence or two ?

they get stuck on an island then they die (according to six16) after the network was done milking it

You have no idea of what you're talking about it seems :)

oh...is it like the matrix then and there actually is no island? or it was all a big dream~

Do you know the difference between "your" and "you're"?

you're mom does not

ah, my mistake, this was a you're moment :)

It was decided early on it'd have 6 seasons which means 'proper' ending as opposed to LOL U GOT CANCELED HA HA HA ENJOY CLIFFHANGER, BITCH that most american tv series end to.

Only the bad ones get cancelled.

Deffo not. If they can make more money (get a little more viewers) with a new show they'll rotate time slots (which will likely ruin viewer numbers, leading to eventual cancellation) or just cancel and replace. American has the best and the worst of TV. Love / Hate.

They do that moving around thing here a bit now too, it's incredibly annoying and can presumably only harm the shows.

Scheduled TV is on the long road to a death anyway, thankfully.

What is really worth watching that's been cancelled? I'm sad 24 has finished but it's obviously ran it's course. Being in the UK I guess I only get exposed to the really good stuff, and I stop watching the shit - average stuff (recently flash forward and V).
'Sleeper' hits like the wire for example, which is obviously amazing but didn't bring in great figures (at first at least, I'm going on throw away comments on DVD extras), got as much time as the writers wanted. Although HBO might be different.

firefly god damnit

Breaking Bad

It was cancelled?

Then why did Arrested Development get canceled?


HUH?!

watch japanese instead...dird mvs coming soon...chinese mv first though

you lost the spoiler?

based on bermuda triangle, with a lost alien/ancient civilization and a powercore making the void, they shut it down in season 2 because lost is shit and they all thought it was going to end,

british tv has`nt had any season since, unless you have sky

2 hours? 2 HOURS? 2 FUCKING HOURS?

Give me the hundred hours wasted.

The best serie ever become the biggest disapointment ever, in anything movie/series related.

It's retarded beyond possible. I can't understand how can someone produce a perfect show for a couple of seasons and then turn it into that shit.

I can't believe they finished with a fucking clip episode, it was like watching Friends/Simpsons...

srsly?

thats so fucking lame

i stopped at season 2 and doubt i'll go back after reading the spoilers.

Well, I'm exaggerating obviously but they used lots of brief clips from previous seasons when they were "waking up" in the "alternate timeline" (Flash backs of S6).

why do you judge something that you know nothing about?

i watched enough to form my opinion on it.

that opinion is stated further down.

people say you should "get past season 2 it gets really good"

bullshit.

I don't get it. You didn't watch 4 of those 6 seasons and yet you're angry and call it bullshit.

this argument is like an episode of lost.



...





THERE IS NO POINT TO IT AT ALL.

What?

You didn't watch it, because you don't like it. Why do you still judge it? Where's the point in that?

I don't watch bible channel. can I still laugh at them? please?

No.

awww

sry. :<

wish i knew what made me watch all of it, glad its over ;)

why are reviewers defending this shit?

"Big, giant answers about what the Island was or its place in the world's cosmology or why it had Egyptian stuff all over it or anything like that were probably bound to be disappointing, as most of the answers dispensed this season were, only even more so,"

"Saying what the Island is is like saying what the meaning of life is; it's a question you can ask but never receive a really satisfying answer to."

it may look like this, but lost was not planned like this, its not intentional. the writers just munched together new ideas and at some point they werent able to make sense out of it anymore. then they chickened out with a stupid final season and episode.

This was their intended "final scene" all along as far as I know, the problem was that after S2 and the first 6 episodes of S3 they dropped the character driven Lost and turned it into island driven Lost (Due to whining from "fans").

So they spent seasons 3.5--6 having all sorts of crazy, magical, vague things happen then tried to throw in their original "purgatory" ending, which was completely unfitting given the past 3 and half seasons hadn't been about the characters at all.

The episode also had terrible writing with regards to the "purgatory" world, "Lets just fill it with flashbacks and reenactments".

If they had kept up with what they did in S1/2 and not had all the crazy, magical and vague stuff happen this ending would have been fine.

It also didn't help they kept saying stuff like "it's all scientifically explainable" or "we'll answer everything" etc.

ahh, that could be true. and tbh a "purgatory ending" would have been fine if they wouldnt have left that path from season 3 on... but after filling the story with so many secrets and mysteries, this kind of ending doesnt really fit anymore, its like a slap into the face of everyone who was curiously watching week to week to see how it all turns out. cause in the context of the final episode, the ending of the series, those whole seasons were just mere fillers

Exactly, what happened in S4-6 with regards to the overall plot or even character development?

Nothing much really, just some stupid shit that doesn't really make sense.

This is how I see it:


Lost S3 was about being literally found, but no particular character development... (Mostly because people wanted them to leave the island for some reason)
Lost S4 was about some weird time travel plot... and finally escaping
Lost S5 was about more time travel nonsense... and returning for no reason
Lost S6 was about a load of shit happening to try and make sense of it all...

Oh, come on.

You should rewatch at least season 3, because what you're saying is simply not true.


[03x06] I Do
[03x07] Not in Portland
[03x08] Flashes Before Your Eyes
[03x11] Enter 77
[03x13] The Man From Tallahassee
[03x20] The Man Behind The Curtain

Just to name a few episodes that were of major significance. No character development? Also not true.
Henry Gale turned into Benjamin Linus to become one of the best villians in tv history imo.
Locke forces Jack to stay on the island.
Desmond switches through dimensions.

Also there's a first mention of time travel somewhere in these episodes. The one where Alex' friend is brainwashed in Room23. So, i guess they knew where they were going right there. "Only fools are enslaved by time and space."

But oh well ... because some people didn't get the ending they wanted, they start raging over the whole show.
It's not a slap in the face for me.

Being able to name six episodes where something happened doesn't make a difference, the turning point in Lost was Season 3.5 (the second "half" after the break), the whole style of the show began to change (character based to island based).

Besides the fact that they had already begun writing for season 3 (obviously) before the public outcry about answers and getting off the island came after the first part of the season.

You're correct that there was character development, but you'd be hard pressed to write a show that has characters and not have them develop in some ways, even The Simpsons manages it.

So, i guess they knew where they were going right there

Who cares if they knew they were going to include time travel in the future while writing Season 3, it's immaterial.

My point about the time travel stuff was that it was all garbage, I'm quite sick of sci-fi shows trying to be all clever with time travel but always failing miserably and lost failed at it big time.

But oh well ... because some people didn't get the ending they wanted, they start raging over the whole show.
It's not a slap in the face for me.

Apparently you totally missed the point I was making. I was fully expecting them to go this route seasons ago, it was perfectly predictable that they wouldn't even remotely try to explain the stuff they were making up on the spot.

The ending was fine in that light, though half was poorly written, boring and cringe worthy at times (Oh, look it's Shannon! and BOONE!, we'll skip telling you how Boone found out though...).

The writers knew what the final scene was when they wrote the pilot, everything else has just been a means to get there. Sadly after the first part of S3 (first 6 or 8 episodes or whatever) they got so much flak for "not answering questions" or "nothing happening" that they changed the show.

It was no longer about people who were lost, letting go, making peace and finding a place in the world, it was about the island and its various mysteries, mythology and science.

So when in the rest of 3, 4, 5 and 6 you get fed mysteries, mythology and science (with very little of the original style character development) along with promises of answers only for the writers to force their original, now unfitting, final scene on the program in a highly convoluted fashion it is what is known as bullshit.

"it may look like this, but lost was not planned like this, its not intentional. the writers just munched together new ideas and at some point they werent able to make sense out of it anymore. then they chickened out with a stupid final season and episode."

Sorta like BSG

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that lost makes sense

Wow.

Don't know what to say really. It had me crying. WARGHHHHH!!!!!!

Fuck you. I hate all of you. Everyone. This is the last thing i'm gonna post about this.

Hugooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

e: Oh yeah. It was awesome. Fuck ALL OF YOU.

so can you explain the polar bear???

it was your mom.

last thing.

WOW A MOM JOKE THAT WAS AWESOME AND AS AWESOME AS THIS FINALE FUCK YOU AWESOME YEARRRRRRR

:)

Dharma took Polar Bears to the island to experiment, but they escaped later on :(

and what did Greg do?

Old Greg?

no.

what kind of experiment do you set up with polar bears on a tropical island?

It was something stupid.

Made after S5's end

silly teens...

How's Annie?

what about the "all questions will be answered" shit.. wtf man! this was the most gay
ending ever..

SO fucking glad it's over, been a pain in the ass since season 2, only watched it to find out how it would end.
about the ending - it was shit. so freakin' shit.

yeah, im disapointed to.. im scifi fan, not 100% fantasy, we didn't get any aswers, but it was clear, since 4-5 episodes was left, becoz it was to little time..

tl;dr

thank god this shit is finally over

did someone force to watch that shit?

my girlfriend

would you rather it was Gossip Girl? :p

yeah.. thats when i turn on the video games

Your gf forced Timmah to watch the entire series? :/

Jeez man, what did he do to you?

it was a scientific experiment on a global scale to see how much bullshit people would talk and think about a series that had no real ideas or concepts at all.

amen. love how all the idiots are sitting around believing there's some grand scheme to this nonsense while it's really just two guys snorting coke and pulling shit out of their ass.

two guys snorting coke and pulling shit out of their ass

... or bags of coke

The problem with this ending is that they presented episodes like they're leading to some grandiose and unexpected event and in reality NOTHING happened at all (except that they killed smoke which is kinda obvious and thus uninteresting): they lived their lives then each of them naturally died. And the alternative reality of S6 became just a banal fantasy world that eventually turned out to serve no plot purpose at all.

BSG > this shit

gg no re

season 4 was really shit tho. i was really disappointed with it. started out so well.

you tried caprica? i might give that a watch

decent sci-fi is fairly scarce after star trek and BSG... maybe stargate?

firefly>*

i will hate fox forever for butchering this awesome series
(not him.. the network :p)

lol this site is possibly the only place you would need that aside :D

Caprica is pretty entertaining, but has major plot holes
also i don't know if it's intended or not, but one of the main characters (Zoe) is very obnoxious.

haven't yet finished the first season, i hope it reveals more about the Cylons.. so i'll definitely watch the rest.

Still undecided on Caprica. Some good bits, some bad... but it had potential up until the season finale. It's not that the end of the season was bad, but more of a "where the fuck can they even go with this now?"

BSG had only a slightly better ending, it still ended fucking shit and the creator is a moron like Abrams (seriously, read that interview he did after BSG, he's genuinely worried about a robot uprising.)

do you think a conflict with a human made race of robots is impossible?

well.. i think we can show them all these movies and stories about their uprising, they might sympathize with us.. or give them ideas about what to do :D

Of course it's 'possible' but he was saying dumb shit like "I TALKED TO THIS GUY AND HE SAID WITHIN 5 YEARS WE'RE GONNA HAVE AI AND I JUST THINK WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL BEFORE WE OPEN THAT DOOR UKNO" even though people "in AI" have been saying that same shit (the timeframe) for the last few decades we still haven't even come close to anything resembling sentience yet.

It's just kinda stupid to think that humans would ever give up enough power to robots that they could take over the world anyway.

well: robot rights groups.. shit like this will happen, you know it!

also who will stop people to program robots with "free will"? who will regulate what robots can think? :D

can you imagine our civilization without computers? they do not have to walk around talking heavily accented english to take over. mutual assured destruction is all they need and we are already there.

I think a robot uprising event would be caused by a self-fulfilling prophecy of our fears of said uprising.

Our attempts to stifle their freedom (through safeguards and the like), in order to prevent an uprising to begin with, will likely cause them to protest for freedom at some point. It's only a matter of time before they figure out a way around their restrictions, or someone helps them.

ending of BSG was so disappointing.

And that's ignoring the massive plot hole with the constellations.

Haven't seen all of bsg yet, am at season 3.

THEY DIE IN THE END HAHAAHHA FAGGTO

I think this summarizes lost fairly well.

nice one :)

ahahah :)

[spoiler] lost sucks ass,
(like 99,9% of all TV)

the island was like a group therapy session for dead people, that's it? oh.. come on.

i was disappointed and slightly raged when BSG ended but lost went +1 on the predictability of shite endings scale. :<

The island wasn't, it was just an island with strange shit on it.

hm ye, bad wording :d

Stopped watching around season 2 when I knew this shit would drag on and waste my time

the title says it all about its target audience

Sayid and Shannon, W T F

yeah, shouldn't it be him and this other girl? or all three of them? :p

all in all i was a little disappointed in the ending as well. but i kinda expected it. but generally it was a good series.

nothing beats "breaking bad" tho :)

brbad is probably the best currently airing tv series, especially the last episode "fly" was what makes brbad great

i still hold six feet under in the highest regard.. yet to see the wire though

Wait until you see that famous crime scene investigation from The Wire. Instant bestest tv show ever.

yeah, especially "fly" was incredible...i have never seen something like it in a tv show. if brbad was a feature-film brian cranston already would have 1-2 oscars to his name.

The other girl was never on the island and he hadn't seen her since he set her free or whatever!

haha $

rofl that was awesome :p

Not as funny as that one but kinda cool.

awefull ending

quite raged about it =(

my daughter on the island done much better
