Wow, two of the stupidest links I've seen in a while. Still trolling this bullshit, eh? Fuck off.

I assumed Widmore was the one who was more behind the DHARMA purge. Though the fact that the killing of people who came to the island with hostile or exploitative intentions had been cyclical (Mother killing the Romans, the US Army people being killed off, etc.). But I'm pretty sure some DHARMA people were listed as…

I totally agree. I mean, I understand some people wanted all of the answers rammed down their throats. "Why make a mystery show and not resolve the mysteries." I find that somewhat valid. I'd have loved to, say, seen the other end of that outrigger battle. But the "the whole show SUCKED!" outcry is asinine. …

I have a headache and no tea

Whahh. Go cry elsewhere.

I liked The Fountain as well. However, I think, though comparing Lost to a film isn't necessarily going to work, this was better than that movie.

Love that one episode makes the entire fucking show pointless. Sorry you didn't like it, but did you enjoy any of it? Did you have any pleasure watching it for the 116 or so episodes that preceded it, give or take some duds? If not, you really did waste a lot of time, but the onus is on you for that.

It was the Ajira plane that Jack saw.

Yeah, I am seeing that everywhere. "So…they died when Jack set off the bomb?" I guess I can see where people get that from…but no, actually, I really don't. And they even put in a line for that when Christian said "everything that happened, happened." And "some died before you, some long after."

Completely agree. I didn't see it coming either. I was actually thinking, with the talk of "leaving," that they were actually going somewhere, and the timelines would "merge." I also hated the idea that the writers were having their cake and eating it too, with all the talk of stakes in seasons past having an…

The show was ALWAYS about, to an extent, spirituality etc. BSG seemed like maybe it came more out of nowhere (I only watched BSG occassionally so someone who was a fan of that show could speak more to that). Lost always used the language of spirituality, belief, etc.

Totally agree, Shredder. Great way of putting it.

Fuck off, GuerillaDust. If you want to discuss the show, let's discuss it. You give up the fact that you're just here to fuck people off with your idiotic KFC comment.

Totally agree. It was fantastic. If someone had spoiled me on the sideways being basically "purgatory" of some sort of these characters trying to remember themselves and their life together, being called to the island etc., I might have thought it sounded like shit. The way they played it though…it was fantastic. …

Totally agree. And it wasn't saying "God did it" or "they populated the earth" etc. The "sideways" was a way station where these characters were able to remember their lives and move on together. As a show, it was a way to reunite these characters, and the ones that had died over the last six years, without…

I don't think there needed to be a monster to endanger the island. The island was being protected before there was a monster. It would need to be protected long after. Even without the monster, there was DHARMA, the US Army, etc.

@retro, they said multiple times - and again in an interview I read posted right before the finale started - that the actor who played Eko was one of the only ones who couldn't make it. Not that they didn't want him to. Sometimes the fucking real world infringes on making a tv show.

They answered a lot of stuff. Left some stuff to be unanswered. But what's wrong with that? I don't recall them saying "fuck the mystery." Can you point me to that please?

By the way, Noel
Thanks for these. These became essential reading for me this season, and I'm very sad to see the show go, and I'm sad to see this "column" go as well. Thanks for the great season, and the amazing job with the reviews and the comments etc.

Awesome.
My first reaction: Amazing. They made the "sideways" timeline resonate in a sort of strange way without undercutting the stakes of the "main" timeline and the events/deaths/etc. that happened there. The main timeline worked out in surprising ways. Kate is ultimately the one who killed Locke?!? (Well, sort…
