WTF: Lost thread

?!?!

I watch this show for 6 years and loved the chaos and confusion the whole time.

Then it ends like that?!?!?!



I hope all three of the alternate endings they're going to show on Kimmel are the smoke monster murdering the producers and writers of the show

[Kopfjager]

Never watched it. Glad it's over, along with 24. (never watched that pos either) 

[Monsterlover]

I could never get into 24 either.

[minnesotamonster]

I didn't like the ending at all. Didn't answer anything and actually gave more shit to wonder about. I agree, WTF?!

The kimmel alt endings were not what I was expecting, but they
were a little entertaining.

IMO a lot of things don't fit with the ending or the story line and absolutely nothing got explained or answered. The cast on kimmel didn't seem to have a clue about anything either.

I no longer buy into shows with endless meandering story lines 

you sit there waiting for some sort of intellectually consistent conclusion to the plot line

then they don't get renewed for another season and they just drop the series and leave you hanging like a high school date (ex: X Files)

or give you some bullshit conclusion cobbled together on-the-fly that can't or doesn't explain 1/10th of the questions raised during the series' lifecycle

this is why I have chosen to follow the Kardashians...I find them profoundly attractive, spiritually enlightened and intellectually insightful

I even have a nickname for the fat one; Karcrashian

I think the Statue of Liberty should be torn down and sold for scrap back to the French

and we should erect a statue of the Kardash gals...they are the true symbol of what America now represents to the rest of the world

No one survived the crash.

No one survived the crash.

I thought this as well, but wasn't certain.

i'm not exactly sold on that...

it seems to me that the "real timeline" could have actually happened with hurley and ben (and rose and bernard) staying behind while lapidus, kate, sawyer, miles, claire, and richard really left on the plane.

in his meeting with jack, christian said that some of the people in the church died before him and some died after him. the conversation between hurley and ben suggests that they "ruled" the island together for some time. therefore, as christian said, the altiverse was a place where all of those people could be together again before they moved on.

the final episode felt a little "wrapped up" to me but, for the most part, i enjoyed it. honestly, it could been a lot worse. 

[derby]

fwiw, i've had a few other fleeting ideas about the series since the finale.... a list of "what ifs" that may not survive peer review. 

what if... the "everybody gets together" thing was a hurley construct. ben basically told him that he can throw out jacob's rules and make his own. and it definitely seems like something "make everybody happy" hurley would do for his friends.

what if... the first time they "got rescued," when jack said "we have to go back," what if everybody else was "ready to go" and them going back to the island was actually to "save" jack?

that's probably really overthinking, though may eventually rewatch parts of the season/series with a new eye given the finale.

aside from lost-haters, do any of you have other "plausible" thoughts?

I tried but the show failed. All Jack did was yell and he never shot the people that needing shooting. Kinda like X Files.

Watched maybe 1-2 Lost shows when it came on but had zero interest. Never hooked me.

he's making up for that his season.

episode 4 (walkabout) was the one that hooked me. after seeing the beach scene following the crash a few times, specifically the focus on locke's wiggling toes, the "big reveal" of his paralysis was brilliant.

[NoisyDante]

I saw the first 3 episodes of season one, but also never got hooked.

One question though, was the fat guy still fat in the end?  Was that one of the plot points that they were able to finalize in the end, or was that also just a huge question mark?

they were only on the island (the first time) for about 4 months... how long do you think it would take for him to lose a "noticeable" amount of weight?

I'd think he'd lose a liiiittle bit from the manual labor and the heat, but 4 months isn't much time, didn't know that, obviously I didn't tune in.

My coworkers tell me some 'Dharma Initiative' entity had food or supplied food or something. 

I think this would have been a good opportunity for that actor to have his agent negotiate a personal trainer into the contract.  Though if they shot drastically out of order, he would have had to fatten back up.

yeah, there was a food drop in season 2.

iirc, he lost (hehehe) some weight in real life, obviously not a lot.
