Rappy Veteran Posted May 24, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2010 Alias is an example of how to end a show properly. Or the original scrubs JD ending. yes! Alias is in my top favourite shows of all time purely because it was ended the right way and yeah like Scrubs you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You guys actually thought Alias ended the right way? It's been a while but I don't really remember caring about how it ended. I could have been jaded by how things turned out after the second season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted May 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) WTF they explained 90 percent of that stuff in the final season are you dumb? Now i have thought about it a bit more... SOME where answered however 90% Weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while but I don't really remember caring about how it ended. I could have been jaded by how things turned out after the second season though I think all shows that go on for many a season will have times where its utter bilge and not good at all, Lost has certainly had its times where people on this forum will totally agree it was crap...then it got better and went down again. I think what CC and DL has done well is creating the conversations around the net about Lost, it will be discussed for years and years. I won't thank them for the show because atm I dont think they deserve it just yet not until I really take it in which could take years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManMountain Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Eh, what? The island was a metaphor? The whole show was just about Jack? Hey, if that's where we're going, maybe the whole show happened inside Jack's head! He actually died in the first episode of the first season, but the whole show is what he saw as he was dying. One could interpret it that way too. Which, to me, makes a lot more sense. Having read so many comments regarding the sideways timelines as metaphors for purgatory, I'm inclined more to the entire Lost scenario being a figment of Jacks dying mind.

episode Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I think thats what they want you to feel, if you were more concered with the science then you are left feeling empty and like the characters in purgatory have to come to terms with it before you can accept it and move on. Thats right. It was a character show. If you watched for the characters first, you should be happy. If you watched for the mysteries and the science, you're disappointed because you didn't get enough answers. Heres the thing about the answers though: you would have always wanted more. The more I think about it, the more I realize this was the only fitting way to end the show. Which, to me, makes a lot more sense. Having read so many comments regarding the sideways timelines as metaphors for purgatory, I'm inclined more to the entire Lost scenario being a figment of Jacks dying mind. He was told 'the time you spent with these people was the most important of your life'. So yes, the island was real. Only the FSW were purgatory.

episode Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 i can understand not liking the ending. It veered away from the sci-fi portion of the show to more of a life lesson/tear jerker... Which is what the show always was. The sci-fi stuff was always just a backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th3gnslngr Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm still wrapping my mind around all that happened. So much has been left for interpretation, that I almost feel like they could have ended the series at the end of last season, when Juliet hits the bomb and the screen goes to white... and we would have been just as satisfied and our own interpretations would have been discussed. Sure a few questions were answered this season, but so many more were created. This last episode was very moving and, yes, beautiful as they said it would be. But in the last 10 minutes or so, I sat there with a blank stare, thinking to myself, seriously?! I get it, I do, but it was a total mind-blow... Something I thought was so obvious from day 1, that it just couldn't be how it ended --- everyone dies. Then I'm reminded of Jacob's statement at the end of Season 5... "It all ends the same, everything else is just progress" One other thing I would have liked to see was Richard reconnecting with his wife in the FSW... but I understand why that didn't happen (it would have totally given away the purgatory-like idea)...

Rappy Veteran Posted May 24, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2010 Sunday?s Lost finale was a ?television event?, but how big a ?ratings event? will it be? I?d be surprised if it came close to its series viewership highs from past seasons. If that Wikipedia linked chart is correct, its second season premiere was over 23 million viewers. That?s almost twice any episode so far this season. I wouldn?t be surprised to see its highest viewership and 18-49 ratings for this season, but I don?t think that series highs are in any danger of falling. For reference, this season?s Lost premiere episode averaged 12.09 million viewers (Live+Same Day), and the most recent Tuesday episode (5/18) averaged 10.47 million viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose was there. Michael is a tortured soul roaming the island and Walt isnt dead. Walt died eventually, as did everyone else that was still alive when Jack died. There is no time in the flash sideways. Would have been nice to have seen him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
