LOST Finale
 

Did anyone watch it? I just got done watching it. If you have watched it let me know what you thought about the ending. I personally thought it was a fabulously done ending and most of the stuff started to make sense after a while.

To me it was the best Series Finale. Cheers was a good Series Finale as well, but the LOST Finale was awesome. I am not a crier. I hardly ever do it even at church, but I did tear up a bit at the end. Tuesdays are NOT going to be the same.

Re: LOST Finale
 

The only time I've seen any of the shows on this series was once several years ago when visiting out of state and the folks there had the program on tv in the living room where we were sitting.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Were they finally found? I have no clue what this show was really about. :)

Re: LOST Finale
 

i watched the finale. I feel that they went for the feel good ending. The finale was definitely in character with the rest of the show, but I think they took the easy way out. They already had built up the game between Jacob and MIB, they should have made the more front and center. There was a couple of endings they could have gone with, and to me, they took the easiest way out.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Didn't catch it, and almost never watched Lost anyway, but as far as series finales go, it will be hard to beat Newhart!

Re: LOST Finale
 

cried over a tv show??:pullhair

Re: LOST Finale
 

It was pretty emotional for the last 10 minutes or so, and if you have watched the series in its entirety, it might get to you.

I have watched the series in its entirety, however, I am not an overly emotional person to begin with, thus I viewed it with the cold, uncaring eye of cynicism.

But I could see how it would be very emotional for most of the viewers.

Re: LOST Finale
 

I did like how Jack's dads name took on a greater meaning in the last few moments. That was pretty cool.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Yes they were. A small satellite component fell from space which the professor was able to use to repair a device which predicted the weather, to which he discovered a major typhoon fast approaching. They all joined together -quite literally and lashed their huts together creating one big floating barge so when the tidal wave swept over the island it carried them all out to sea. Once floating on the endless ocean all hope seemed lost until one of the survivors decided to "treat" the other ones to an actual cooked dinner not realizing that the whole floating raft was made of bamboo and grasses. While everyone was frantically trying to put out the fire the smoke was seen by a coast guard helicopter and they were all finally rescued!

Re: LOST Finale
 

I cried myself.

Re: LOST Finale
 

I watched it and it was probably a mistake since it was the first season 6 episode we saw. We watched 1-5 with our Netflix account, but they did not have 6 posted and probably won't for several months. I am one who likes as many hard questions as possible answered so was feeling a bit "lost" at the end and was fully expecting the final scene to be Hurley sitting in Jacobs old cave having taken his spot as island protector.

Re: LOST Finale
 

I cried when they cancelled the Andy Griffith Show. Well, I didn't know they'd cancelled it until 1998 when the channel I was watching reached the end of the re-runs, but I cried anyway.

Re: LOST Finale
 

:toofunny

Re: LOST Finale
 

I didn't cry when it was canceled but did hold back a few sniffles when Barney left at the end of Season 5. They should have called it quits right there.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Really, that was the end of the show, wasn't it? And Barney was a complete after-thought in the grand scheme of the show. He wasn't a part of the original plans. Can you imagine what the show would have been without him? Well actually, we can.....the 66-68 seasons. Not very good.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Exactly. Not only did Barney leave, but Gomer was replaced by Goober (I believe a year earlier), Opie got bigger and they went from B&W to color. It was almost like the difference between I Love Lucy and the Lucille Ball Show in terms of quality.

I could also say the same thing about Happy Days. They should have ended the show when Ritchie and Ralph departed for the military. A FEW would even say when Chuck left -for wherever it is he vanished to.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Goober just wasn't funny. And neither was Howard with his "attached-to-his-mother" stuff. And that deputy they brought in....Warren.....awful.

Just recently, I recorded and watched all the color episodes. I might have worked up a slight grin here and there, but I never came close to laughing. But I had to wipe away tears with Barney.

I'm not a big fan of sit-coms, but it seems like the humor mostly revolves around the quality of characters, not the quality of the writing.

Re: LOST Finale
 

My favorite finale is the last game of the NFL season each year - The Super Bowl!

Re: LOST Finale
 

Ugh. I forgot about Howard -well, not really but forgot to mention him as another reason the last several seasons were so poor.

I'm not a sitcom watcher either. Some are just hilarious and I can get a stomach ache from laughing so hard but there has never been one I went out of my way to sit down and watch. One of my favorites was Frasier (and King of the Hill) but again I would only watch it if happened to be on when I was sitting and channel surfing.

Re: LOST Finale
 

The only two I've watched in recent times, is "Coach" (LOVED the Luther Van Dam character played by Jerry Van Dyke) and "The Office." With "The Office" I am SO glad I have a "Pause" button on the DVR. I often tell people, when they say something funny, that I "Fell outta my chair". I literally have done that with The Office...down on my knees gasping for breath. Supposedly, Steve Carrell is leaving and if he does, I'm afraid it's going to go the way of the Andy Griffith Show.

Re: LOST Finale
 

The Office has actually been pretty funny as of late but I was worried since it went through about a two season dry spell (where I do not think that Jim pulled a single gag on Dwight the whole time). By the way, how on Earth did Dwight keep is job (not to mention avoid jail time) when he nailed the doors shut, shot smoke into the rooms and started the fire alarm all in the name of conducting a fire drill?

Re: LOST Finale
 

"V" was starting to get lame and I was getting iffy on it.. but the last 10 minutes of the season finale made up for the entire slow mid season in the setup. Well worth catching it on Hulu

Re: LOST Finale
 

Didn't like the ending.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Stargate Universe is getting really good as well. It is definitely moving slower than the other Stargate series, but it also as a completely different style. Very Battlestar Galactica like.

Re: LOST Finale
 

You're right about the pranks! That was what I fell in the floor over...when Jim & Dwight were working on conflict resolution with Michael and Jim started recounting all the pranks. When he told about the phone prank...where he slowly put nickels in the handset until it was really heavy, and then, just removed them, causing Dwight to hit himself in the head with the phone....that's when I fell in the floor.

Re: LOST Finale
 

I just watched it online...that is how I've watched all six seasons.

The ending was good...although there are still so many unanswered questions. It is sad that it's over, regardless of how it all ended. The show had a way of making you become emotionally invested in the characters. You wanted them all to find happiness...which they did, just not how I expected.

I teared up a little at the end too...especially the very last part, when Vincent came running through the bamboo forest and lay down next to (I won't say the character's name in case someone hasn't watched the finale yet) as he lay dying, as if to say "I am going to stay here with you so you won't have to die alone."

Re: LOST Finale
 

So, you are still following UPC standards by not watching something on a tv set but watching it on a computer?

Re: LOST Finale
 

I found the REAL Lost finale much better....SURVIVOR 20.

Here's what I think happened ...the writer's got sooooo involved in the twists, turns and cliffhangers they developed over six seasons that there was no way they could tie up ALL the loose ends soooo....they used their own hatch, escape hatch that is, and made death and an unexplained afterlife the climatic ending. WOW ! This ending could work for any tv show. It made all the components of the story, the island, the numbers, the statue, the ship, the hatch, Dharma Initiative, etc...etc... pointless. It was the easy, and sentimental, way out and very, very trite.

Yuck.

ouden

Re: LOST Finale
 

Where did this question come from?

Re: LOST Finale
 

just a little poke at the anti-tv but pro-computer crowd.
nothing personal.

I used to be a Baptist.
We weren't allowed to go to movies but we could watch movies on tv.
To me that was always an inconsistency.

Re: LOST Finale
 

You mean I missed the season finale of Lost? Oh no, all my questions will never get answered! :D

Re: LOST Finale
 

I have to agree with you there. Why throw out a hundred mysteries and leave almost all of them unanswered?

Regardless I really like JJ Abrams and find that everything bothersome, mystery wise, about Lost is done differently with Fringe where the plotting is more tight and almost everything but the main over-arching story is done in little 3-6 episode arcs.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Oh, okay.

Yeah...so many inconsistencies and double standards...and in the meantime, people on the outside look at us like we're insane. It's sad. I think most people in the UPC mean well...but some things have gotten out of hand Scripturally speaking, haven't they?

To get back on topic...I do feel a bit duped by the Lost finale. I was thinking more about it earlier, and realized that the ending had nothing to do with the previous events in the show itself. It was a reunion for all of the characters before they "moved on" to eternity, but that was it. Any show could end that way, but it still didn't answer so many questions.

'Twas still a good show though...

Re: LOST Finale
 

I agree. Just wasn't the same show without Barney.

Re: LOST Finale
 

Not only did you miss the 'season' ender but you missed the 'SERIES' ender too....guess you will have to NOT ever know what happened. Your loss.




:bliss

Re: LOST Finale
 

They may have taken the easy way out, but I am sure this is where it was heading the whole time anyway. Also, not sure what other ending would have fit in place well enough that everyone at least were somewhat at peace with it. If it had ended in a huge battle then it might have left a bad taste in a lot of viewers mouths, IMO.

I started on the show in the second season, but after I had watched the first on DVD so I have been invested since the beginning essentially. I think that is probably the best ending that could have happened to kind of given full closer to every characters story line and made it believable in the context of the LOST arc. This basically boiled down to Jack's show and his redemption from his falling, IMO. I agree with you about the meaning of Jack's daddys name.....that was a neat thing.

Re: LOST Finale
 

I've never seen "Lost." I always spend my time praying during that show. Besides, I once was lost but now I'm found.

Re: LOST Finale
 

HAHA, you were lost??? Aren't you still? My bad!!!!


LOL

Re: LOST Finale
 

Depends on who you ask, I guess.:lol By the way, where am I?

Re: LOST Finale
 

You are where ever you are.
