If memory serves it did cause a bit of a furore.
That said its been done to death many times now, you would think people would stop being offended by it.

Seen the first two eposides last night. Wierd to the moon!!! But very good!!!

Yeah, the show isnt exactly short on religious references (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Religion) as it is. The running theme for the show IMO is the conflict between science & faith-based ideals.
Interesting, however, that both Faraday (a man of science) and Locke (a man of faith) are dead now though.

*really needs to stop reading these threads before watching each weeks episode(s)*

Anyone seen the 1st 2 episodes yet?
FFS its even MORE confusing now

Dont want to mention anything until yall seen it but bezeer!! 8-)

Ive still not seen the first 2 as Ive given up watching anything on the TV as inevitably it gets deleted before I see it or the rents watch it without asking me if Id like to watch it so I come in and theyre half way through.
As a result Im still waiting for my uber slow connection to finish acquiring them...same goes for caprica and heros and 24 :(

Richard seems terrified... Smokie used to be an ordinary man?! So he/its definitely not Nanites, or a God? Perhaps an ancient curse? And what the hell is up with that little kid he was chasing after?
Too many (new) questions! :drama: :P

I think there is a chance they may make a total balls of this series.

-
Its beginning to bore me again.
Lots of action but nothing is actually happening.
-
Im wondering if theyll actually explain why half the survivors were dragged off at the start of the whole thing by the others, and what happened to them...
-
dont know how true it is....
but I heard an interview with one of the wrighters on the radio.... and he said (parafrasing) they were just making it up as they went along and dont have a detailed plan for it all....
-
I thought they were meant to have had a "bible" so to speak? It did make sense at the time when I heard that as I think it was about the start of season 3, and you got a distinct impression that the thing had been meant for 3 seasons, and then they decided to extend it to cash in...
-
Interesting.

Theyve been making a total balls of it for a while now. I think they started without a clear plan but the best of intentions and never intended for it to be the success it has been. Now that it keeps getting renewed with no sign of cancellation they are just spinning it out for as long as they can.

Im just anticipating (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/04/ff_lost/all/1) a series finale that will leave everyone simultaneously confused, astounded and disappointed when they dont tie up all the loose threads. (http://www.wired.com/magazine/wp-content/images/18-05/ff_lost11_all_f.jpg)
Also; lots of cool little details in this image, if you look closely:

Good episode this week. :)
How in hell would they have turned it around anyway? It doesnt even seem airworthy. The wheels are stuck in the sand, for one thing.
(http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9729/1071px6x14lostiesatajir.jpg)
Also, that has to be a new record for number of characters dying in one episode.

Eh? Ron Perlman from Sons Hoff Anarchoy? You think so?
What we all thinking of lost at the min. Finale is on Sunday in America
-
Im disappointed with this whole glowing cave (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Source) business. Just feels like lazy writing TBH, Jacobs origin story could have been done so much better.
-
I think its pretty lazy, yet typical, of lost.
I mean, there is a lot they have yet to answer, and Im guessing wont answer, and still they decide to pretty much come up with something totally different than youd expect for the reason its all happened. I dont know whether to feel jipped or not.

If someone has a spare five minutes on their hands, I dont suppose they could explain the whole damn thing to me? I watched the first season and half of the first, then the odd episode here and there but could never get into it as the writing always felt a bit sloppy and it never felt like it was going anywhere. That said Id still intrigued about the whole purpose behind the lost life/universe/everything and would like to know exactly whats going on and why they are there and why there is lots of bizarre sh*t happening on the island.
-
Not got round to watching the Finale yet myself, Ive been watching it all the way through since the beginning.
From what Ive gathered on the official LOST Facebook fan page a lot of fans are saying that they were dissapointed with the ending & that it was "sloppy". We will see tonight.

Same, for some reason I thought it was on next Monday morning, rather than today, so will be watching it later on tonight or tomorrow depending on my access to the TV.
For Chris, below is what I can remember of the story of the different seasons, with a time limit of 5 mins to type it out (in the style of xxx in 60 seconds etc)
Thar be spoilers below, you have been warned...
So, season 1, a plane crashes on an unknown island. Various people are introduced. It turns out in the current/last season that the people were brought to the island by a bloke named Jacob, who was seemingly immortal and was the guardian of the island. The people on the plane were all candidates for being his replacement, as he knew that he was going to be killed by his brother soon, and if there wasnt a replacement, thered be nothing stopping his brother leaving. Why is this important? Well back when Jacob was a mere mortal, he ended up pushing his brother into the heart of the island in an act of vengeance for killing their mother. As a result his brother seemingly has been linked to the island and is the smoke monster. Im guessing if he leaves the light at the centre of the island goes out and its the end of everything.
To be honest, absolutely everything else has just been filler. In terms of lazy writing, youre right, none of the big questions have really been answered, such as who the others are. A very basic run down of the different groups is the plane crash survivors, and the others. The others being people that took over the Dharma initiatives operations. Where they came from is never explained, all we know is that Ben, the leader of the others, killed off the dharma initiative people using poison gas, on the command of Richard, jacobs second in command. This was presumably to stop Dharma from putting the light out in their attempts to study the islands weird properties. I guess you can assume the others were also brought to the island by Jacob to protect it.
Thats it, honestly, all the flashbacks/forwards/sideways are just fillers pretty much, though Im guessing something will happen in the final episode to do with sideways universe. - sideways universe being what the characters would have been doing had they never crashed...apparently some of them are starting to remember the island.
-
Ive just finished watching it, and Ive only just come to conclusions with it and how it all ends.
First of all, it was a nice and peaceful ending - Im actually quite suprised, im gob smacked.
But yeah - Ive got to agree that still a lot of questions have been unanswered in my eyes, but most of you will understand when you have finished watching it. Im not really that dissapointed to be fair as this morning I was worried that it would be a very dissappointing ending. All I can say is that the only minor dissappointment for me was the unanswered questions.
It has indeed been an excellent programme, my favourite of all and I will miss it.

-
Ive just finished watching it too. Tbh the above synopsis still stands, not much happens in the final 2 eps other than a long and protracted epilogue so to speak.
I wasnt too disappointed either by it, mind you I watched New Moon (of my own volition too) last night and didnt think it was *that* bad either. Not good, but not as bad as Id been lead to believe!
-
Soooo...
The entirety of Lost, all six seasons, is just a story about Jack going from being a surgeon to an epic (dead) plumber. Everything else was just filler.
Either that or the dog (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Vincent) dreamed it all. :P
-
Pretty much yeah imo.
The only relevance the episodes had were in making jack, and I guess hurley, do what they had to do.
When you consider the final seasons "sideways" flashes, these could entirely have been left out, not needed, do you need to know that they had all died at some point (duh, everyone dies) and that they were meeting up before moving on? Not really. So the last season could have been done in about 3 episodes, explaining Jacob and Richards origins, and then the rush to destroy/save the island.
Id heard that originally the series was meant to only be a few seasons long, but the execs decided to string it out. I can believe this. Think back to episodes such as when 2 of the survivors get buried alive. You hadnt met them before and you didnt meet them again, totally unrelevant to the plot, just took up another episode.
-
I really do like the idea of Lost and I really do want to love it, the problem is that whilst the mythology and concept behind the island and the quasi-spiritual side to what is going on really appeal to me the people themselves are rather vapid and dull for the most part with a few exceptions.
Im hoping someone will put together an "essential episodes" list that cuts out all of the pointless filler and just lets you enjoy the key storyline with none of the naff failed attempts at characterisation.
-
There are soo many unanswered questions & theories, like we could of learned a bit more about the real roots to the Dharma Initiative before Ben first came to the Island & it was never answered about the true story behind Gerald DeGroot & his wife (if any of you remember them) and all along I always thought that those Adam & eye skeletons were theirs - untill it was revealed that they were infact the Skeletons of the "good" MIB & the adoptive mother of him & jacob. Also Alvar Hanso could of been explained more too. Also it would of been more interesting to find out more about what else Widmore desired to do with the Island if he was to go furthe ahead with his plan & his experiment with Desmond - how would of he proceeded further on?
A lot of talk has been said that with all the material that was written, is that LOST could of gone of for at least 10 seasons if they wanted, but as you said Zpyder a lot of it was fillers and not linked to the main plot.

To be honest wait for one or two of the "Lost in 60 seconds" to come on, Im sure thatll explain the whole thing better than the series could :D
-
There will be at least two spin offs which will explain things, you watch. "Number 1" and "number 2" and what they did for example.
Rumour too that a sequel will come of just what happens next.

lost, the modern day twin peaks

lost, the modern day twin peaks
Blasphemy. Twin Peaks was genius and genuinely happy happy joy time for the neurons in places.
Lost puts them to sleep.

Twin Peaks made more sense, well, at least the first story did, I.E. who killed Laura Palmer.

Sooo many questions really.
Dwait (spelling?) - why was he sooo special and then not special?
What was the button desmond was pressing and then what did it set off? what part of the islands strange things was that?
All the ancient things around the island: What is all that about, who put it there?
They say what the light is, but what is it really?
Powersource for life itself?

I agree with Hitler! total BS how they finished the show off!
I watched for the story not the characters! :gag: ...props for keeping us hanging on for 6 years tho! :bowdown:
-
I am kind of annoyed how they ended it but then I liked it too.
You should never wrap up every single thing, you need to leave that mystery behind and for people to come to their own conclusions, just like a good book.
This though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT3zz6oWJS0 (From last episode so do not watch if you want)
I thought was really nice. Soppy has hell and as a guy I still thought it was great. Jin and Son were my favourite couple who involved over the whole thing and had a lot going on between them and their stories.
This I thought was great and out of all of Lost one of the best scenes for me.
-
Yeah, that was cool.
In terms of how to end a show, to be honest they should all look at and learn from Bones. The last season ended the way all seasons for all shows should end. On a happy note, though not 100% happy, everything major tied up, yet with enoguh minor hooks that its not terminal, and that a story is there for another series if need be. If I find out that Bones is no longer going to be made, Id be happy where its ended. It was pretty final, but as I say, it could easily return.
I wouldnt mind non-happy endings if series that did them were guaranteed a follow-on series, but too many end on a sour note or major cliffhanger/things unanswered, and then get axed!
-
Should have ended it like Quantum Leap... Now that was a good ending
-
I dont think I ever saw the ending to that. Meh, Ill have to wiki it now youve mentioned it!

I hated that ending, Lots of people did. He deserved better from the man upstairs.
