But yes I feel seasons 1-3 was just buildng & building to nothing..especially season 3. Glad they ended there with all worthless plot lines. I felt seasons 4-6 flowed better as a story.

But I believe the reason you keep posting here is because you yourself felt somewhat conned by the way lost ultimately unfolded this season and hence have to somehow almost fool yourself along with everyone else into believing it was perfect just the way it was.
That video was awesome. Funny, but it also clearly took a lot of homework to put that together. Well done.Originally Posted by MrONegative

it's not my fault at all man. It wasn't subtle, they hammered it into your head that Walt and Aaron were supposed to be special. i didn't make that up in any form.Originally Posted by Crazy EBW
You got caught up in the mystery wayyyyy too much, that's your fault.Originally Posted by DubA169
no man... i just wanted the answers to fit in with the rest of the series. that's all. i wanted it to be one cohesive story. i wanted to be able to re-watch the series without seeing dozens of dead ends.
the last episode itself was beautifully done. But the series to me is fundamentally flawed. i can't recommend it to a friend without saying, "don't get caught up in anything mysterious, it goes nowhere"
that's cool that you love the show but you can't just dismiss criticism by saying the audience is at fault for caring about mysteries that the show introduced.�
A lot of mysteries were just plot devices, like Ben lying to people or Kate ruining everything. They were a way to get from one moment to another with a little twist and intrigue. I think they thought up a perfect season for people who only watched the first season and maybe the second. The sixth season itself was good, great if you missed a lot of these characters in their main arcs and weren't waiting for the last 2 or 3 seasons to be justified.

True, but it was still funny. But speaking of stuff that was answered that people say wasn't, the worst one has to be the polar bears. How can people keep saying, "what about the polar bears," when Kate and Sawyer spent most of the beginning of season 3 in what were identified as POLAR BEAR CAGES? I have my issues with how the show ended, but anyone who brings up the polar bears up just plain wasn't paying attention.Originally Posted by Crazy EBW
Half the stuff in the video was answered.

Who are you again?
People keep coming to bash, i'll keep coming to praise. Shouldn't the people who DIDN'T like it stop posting here?

I wasn't mad at either tho. Just didn't agree. Do my posts really convey anger? Cuz that's what I was sensing from the dudes saying the whole final season was a waste of time.Originally Posted by MrONegative
I can understand getting pissed cuz people are saying your favorite show of all time is on some bulls**t. But how you gonna get mad because of the way a shot looked to someone? Jack was on his Dragon Ball Z for a second there.

They do. Now leave
lulz jk i love all of you
I'm gonna say that The Shield had a better finale than Lost. [Stop reading if you havent seen The Shield and plan on watching it] Both were phenomenal, but I liked Vic's personal hell more than Jack's salvation.

Also, why would there have been a sunken island in this purgatory world? Was that just the writer's way of trying to trick us into thinking it was an alternate reality?

I remember like a season ago, there was a Q+A with the writers and someone specifically asked
if they were stuck in purgatory
The writers said "no"
then they give us the ol okey doke
unless i'm totally puliln this outta my shoot, the ending was whack
They always said the island wasn't purgatory and in that sense they never lied.Originally Posted by Viewtiful Mik3

The bomb did EXACTLY what Miles hypothesized it would.Originally Posted by ChineyRoyal
I don't think the bomb did anything but explode.Originally Posted by Crook

MILES: Can I ask you something, LaFleur?
SAWYER: There ain't no more LaFleur, Enos. Go ahead, shoot.
MILES: Has it occurred to any of you that your buddy's actuallygonna cause the thing he says he's trying to prevent? Perhaps thatlittle nuke is the incident? So maybe the best thing to do... is nothing?
........
MILES: I'm glad you all thought this through.
Who knows what would've happened had they done nothing but the detonating the bomb did not destroy/negate the electromagnetism thus, stopping the Swan from being built, which stopped the cause for a button to be pushed every 108 minutes, stopping Des from being late to push the button causing flight 815 to crash (cuz he'd probably be killed by the Others or become one). It actually did cause all that to happen.
That's one problem I had with S5. Faraday stresses whatever happens happened, disappears, and then comes back with this dumb *+# variable theory where he thinks he can reverse things and create a new time line.
Theisland wasn't purgatory for them and they were never stuck in it. Thepurgatory ending was a place where when all of the losties died(at somepoint) they created it so they could interact with each other, remembertheir lives, the island a.k.a the most important time in their lives sothey could move on together. Christian told us that in the end.Originally Posted by Viewtiful Mik3

Smokey can only take on the formof dead ppl. Walt never died. That vision was possibly some power ofWalt's or the island. This was never really answered. Nobody's clearwhat happened in that Shannon death scene. Nobody told Locke to killNaomi. He decided that on his own. I always felt scenes like thatreinforced the fact that Locke is dead serious about staying on theisland and keeping ppl on the island(blowing up Dharma stations, subs,knocking out Sayid in S1, etc).Originally Posted by certified hustler11
Justanother random thought/ theory: Ghost Walt that kept appearing toShannon and to Locke when he was in the Dharma skeleton pit would seemto be the Smoke Monster. He suckered Shannon into being shot by AnaLucia. Locke got suckered into killing Naomi. Also, Ghost Horace thatappeared in Locke's dream that gave him directions to the cabin wouldalso seem to be the Smoke Monster. This lead Locke on a series ofevents that ultimately lead to his death and eventually takeover of hisbody for the Man in Black.
