Thanks man!!
So you didn’t leave.
You just moved on.
I left. This is not the real ‘Why Lost Sucks’, it’s only a place all of us created so we could meet again.
OMG I’m seeing flashes…
of people who died…
Brandon…Laurent…Lmeister. I remember it all now.
Laurent didn’t make it to heaven.
Merci… heaven is for pussies. Hell is life, and death is an unshakeable sleep.
Heaven for the weather and hell for the company.
Heaven is for Mor(m)ons.
I just touched myself and now I remember it all!
I think darlton left themselves a (shit poor) escape hatch to keep going with LOST if the ratings had soared again and ABC said make us all some more money. I think they would have done a season 7 or even 7 and 8 and on if the ratings had provoked the gutter gods of ABC to say so.
Thank god it didn’t happen.
I wouldn’t advise letting anybody see you touching yourself like that…..
CONGRATULATIONS ~!!!
We have all watched a 100 hours version of ‘the sixth sense’ .
Now, let’s all make a ‘be kind rewind’ version of Lost and earn 50 million dollars. With that amount of cash, we produce a final episode, where Darth Vader kills off all the Lost characters !!!
I’ve written a much better ending than the laaaame one we got from Cuse and Lindelof …
GALACTICA VARIANTS
True it is a much better ending. With these hacks though, two monkeys fucking would have been a better ending…..
So… You all gather to this website to trash a show you hate.
A show you all watch every Tuesday… A show you all have watched for over 5 years… A show you all post theories about…
Now don’t get me wrong, typing big curse words, and complaining is totally cool!
But, in my opinion… this website and its following is the biggest mystery ‘LOST’ has ever created.
“this website and its following is the biggest mystery ‘LOST’ has ever created”
Really?
Bigger than – why you call saying fuck, shit, piss, “big curse words?”
Bigger than – why you are posting here?
Bigger than – your ego?
You may now eat my “totally cool” dingle berries…
Read the second one. You know, there’s more than just OMG I LOVE IT or OMG I HATE IT.
Main Entry: crit·i·cism
Pronunciation: \ˈkri-tə-ˌsi-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1607
1 a : the act of criticizing usually unfavorably b : a critical observation or remark c : critique
2 : the art of evaluating or analyzing works of art or literature; also : writings expressing such evaluation or analysis
3 : the scientific investigation of literary documents (as the Bible) in regard to such matters as origin, text, composition, or history
This is the first time I post here, but I have been a fan of this site since months. It makes me very happy that so many people agree that Lost really sucks and that Damon and Cuse deserve to dy eaten by killer ants.
I have been disappointed just like everyone else here, but today something tells me that those 2 bastards are just fucking with our minds again, and that alternate universe is not bardo at all, Jacks father is just an other deceit by the smoke-monster- who is not the same as the MIB, I think- and that the whole island stuff does make sense and everyone is still alive, that were there in season 4, before the time-travel.
Just wait 2-3 years when Lost the movie will come out, with a new set of characters, some of the old ones included. And Lost 2, if they think that many of us will watch the first movie.
Just like with the X-Files. But by then noone will really care about the explanations…
Lost had the worst finale ever created.
We got smoked by Lost and the Man In Black!
WALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLT!!!!!!!!!!!!
WA-HA-HA-HA-HALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
*GASP*
WAAaaaaAAAAaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAlllltttttllllllttttllllttttlLLLLLTTT!!!!!!!
‘Sup?
I haven’t even watched it yet. Should I bother? Is it MST3K bad or just bad?
For maximum fun on this website, you should watch it. Just flash-forward through all the alt-verse “remembering the island” scenes.
LOL, I meant fast-forward of course.
classic. FLash sideways comes next… Or as I just typed, falsh diessways…
FalseForward
Now that is one pure crap of a show. I’ve trying to watch that POS, but find it impossible. Thank God it got canceled.
JJ. and Darlton’s new show will be called “Flash Backward so they can undo the big mess of $hit they made us watch for the last 6 years!
And replace it with another big mess of shit.
It’s over 60 years of tv history and this was the worst finale that Lost could come up with… BAD !!!!
Also few problems with the “solution”.
- Ben is a far worse murderer than Michael, why can he enter and not Michael who also redeemed himself?
- Sawyer murdered that Tom fellow, i.e. committed a HOMOcide (try the veal), so why is he allowed in? I guess those people I saw with the sign “Homosexuality is a sin” were right.
- If Locke really died off the island (if it’s real) why the fuck can’t he walk in this imaginary B-verse? If he didn’t really paralyze his father in that plane crash, then why is it important he lets go of some fucking imaginary accident? Shouldn’t he let go of something from his REAL life? like hating his own father or something?
- If the ghosts look the age they died in, and some died long after Jack (if the island is real), why don’t they look old? Did Kate and Sawyer die right after they landed that plane? I know Jacob looked like a little kid ghost, but if the losties didn’t remember each other, why does it matter? (beside artificially keeping the secret).
- Why the fuck do they have to go to heaven together, is there some group discount, Is heaven a swingers’ club??
- If the island is real, then they didn’t answer any question regarding it, only regarding the B-verse.
- Mister “ALL CAPS” KEAMY – why was he brought to the place they made for themselves? Was it really his ghost or not? What was his fucking purpose again (besides wasting time?)
- They “created” a universe? with billions of people? they must have some awesome brain power. Are those people in the fake universe “real” or are they like the ones in the holodeck? since if they are real, then once our Losties move on, they’ve just killed billions of people.
- If the island is real then Jin both committed suicide and left an orphan, still, he is allowed to move on.
- So they are brought to some universe where they don’t remember anything, and suddenly they have a different set of skills, and a different set of histories (is it like learning Matrix style?) and now they live their entire lives until they somehow manage to remember? or could it be that this universe materialized with them already grown up, with all their memories and fossil records and light from distant galaxies etc. all intact? Either way sounds pretty stupid to me.
- If they don’t remember anything (and once they do – they move on) why is purgatory a universe that looks like the one that (could have) resulted from detonating that bomb in 77′? Except for artificially keeping us guessing, I don’t see any reason for it not being the same A-universe just without the plane crush – that would also let Locke resolve his REAL issues and not fake issues.(the universe is fake but the issues are real). oh, What about Desmond? Fuck him.
- Why would they create a place where the island is sunken, if they don’t even know about it, wouldn’t it be simpler to create an “islandless” universe? (occams’ razor?). Again pretty contrived.
- What are the rules of choosing this universe, why would Locke choose a universe where he paralyzed his father and is unable to walk? Or Jack choose a universe with his father dead? Sawyer a universe with his parents dead? (again they don’t remember anything so they don’t know about the A-bomb). Is it like the matrix where if it’s too good they wouldn’t believe it?
- Why not create a universe where they are… I don’t know… castaways on an island and then they could immediately influence each other and remember?
- Like the people of the matrix who apparently were stuck in the year 1999 – why the fake universe is in 2004 and not somewhere in the future or the past? After all, if you can implant memories and fake histories in them, it seems very “convenient” that they would choose a universe that can be mistaken for an alternate reality caused by the A-bomb.
- If the island is in purgatory – then what the fuck was the episode with Jacob and Smokey all about? did they die as babies with their mother (who was good so could move on) and then were brought up on the island? i.e. the baby ghosts stayed in baby-limbo until they grew up and could be judged? and If the island is real, then what the fuck was the episode with Jacob and Smokey all about?
and in conclusion:
- FUCK THE WRITERS. FUCK THIS FUCKING SHOW. FUCK ABC.
I ain’t watching ANYTHING by JJ, Lindelof or Carlton. Total boycott.
FUCK THOSE HACKS. SACK THOSE FUCKS. HACK THEIR SACKS.
WHACK THEIR CRACKS, CRACK THEIR BACKS, SMACK THOSE FUCKS.
FUCK THEY SUCK.
FUCK, LOST SUCKS.
Quite a littany of issues… and all legitimate!!
The problem of course is that the show is not “solvable”… or even “interpretable” really. For all its pseudo-intelligence (i.e. references that are more random and unconnected than meaningful!) LOST is really just a post-modern mashup of disparate parts.
They cribbed so much of their hooks from other books and movies, all of which told a story much better than LOST. They filled in plot holes with tricks and gimics that didn’t fit. They raised endless (and often very intriguing) questions that they were unable – or never intended – to answer.
In the end, raising all these “unanswered” questions is pretty moot. Though, I think it serves a purpose largely to discredit the show – and the idioacracy of fans – as nothing more than a farce. A pseudo-intellectual riddle that really isn’t a riddle at all. LOST is like alphabet soup, you can stir it up and eventually you’ll see some words. But that doesn’t mean the soup has intelligence, or that the words have meaning!
You know how there’s that saying that the Truth Will Set You Free?
In the general LOST community, not so much.
Lost could not handle the truth…
But they are good liars!
Dude because they wanted you to believe that when the island sunk anohter universe was created without the influence of the island but in reality it was a smoke screen for the bullsh”t they gave us at the end. 6years wasted
The A bomb didn’t even have a chance to create an alternate universe. What happened happened. That damn hatch Swan Station WILL BE BUILT.
Immovable object (time) meets irresistible force (Juliet detonating the trigger/plutonium core.)
Instead, detonating it only threw them back to the time they were supposed to be.
Imagine a long rubber band and . . . No imagine a CD player and it has a scratch and … no, think of a Japanese lantern and . . .
I really liked the Rockford Files.
Rockford Files was a great show. You could count on James Garner getting the shit kicked out of him at least once in every episode…..

You speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…..
Yup, me too total fucking boycott!
A new book is coming out:
“LOST – How not to write a finale!”
Too late for the writers and us.
Jelson you just gave me a way to rewrite the ending and have everything make sense.
The only way to make sense of the show is if it actually takes place in the Matrix Universe. The Machines have locked all the humans into a fake world where they are fed misinformation to their brains to trick them into thinking they are living in a world. Yet later as Agent Smith said that the original programming was that of a world that was a paradise, yet when enough people rejected it, they were forced to change the world into one that different that the people could accept as real. This was a brief summary, in reality it was much more problematic.
Lost takes place in the very early days of the Matrix where they are only able to Load a small portion of the humans into the Matrix at one time. Turns out they had a shoestring budget and hired low quality human engineers. They also had to hire some human Entertainment Executives and Writers to come up with a reasonable world that the humans would believe was real and would have enough mystery not to bore them to death, so that they could load humans into a smaller prototype test matrix, before being able to build something that larger that could handle the increased load of millions of people. Due to poor storytelling creating unbelievable flaws in the fabric of reality, the humans (who thought they had crashed onto an island) loaded into the early Matrix could not accept the world and caused the Agents to have to ask for several rewrites. (reflected in the new mysteries that keep popping up as the series progresses, just as old mysteries trail off unanswered).
As for Jacob, he is an agent. He is acting as a caretaker of the world, gathering feedback secretly from its occupants and passing it on to the writers so that they can tweak the worldview in minor ways to make it more acceptable. MIB is also an agent, but one that has tired of playing his intended similar role to Jacob, and has decided to undermine Jacob, the other Agents, play Devils Advocate to the occupants of the Matrix and bring the whole Project down. That is why Jacob has to kill MIB.
As for the Flashsideways and Pergatory reality….MIB had ‘killed’ enough people in this ‘world’ and mass ressurections would undermine consistency of the reality, that the writers come up with an idea of transitioning everyone to an Afterlife, so that all the humans that have ‘died’ by MIB, but who still persist outside the matrix can be reloaded and can still be used as batteries yet not destroy the reality as percieved by those that are still ‘alive’. The reality of the Matrix world has yet again been changed to keep the occupants from rejecting their reality.
Somewhere along the way, Christian Shepherd makes a prophecy about the coming of one that will unite us all at the end time and bring light into the wartorn world of darkness in a final apocolyptic battle and he shall be called Neo, and his prophet who will prepare the way for him, whose name is Morpheus.
Thank you. I watched the whole damn series and what a piece of crap it turned out to be.
Yes indeed, LO$T sucked…..
“If the ghosts look the age they died in, and some died long after Jack (if the island is real), why don’t they look old? Did Kate and Sawyer die right after they landed that plane?”
Hurley would have become nearly immortal being the new Jacob and could’ve bestowed this immortality on Ben.
I like to think Sawyer and Kate looked the same because the plane crashed a few minutes after leaving the island due to lack of fuel and some damages.
“I like to think Sawyer and Kate looked the same because the plane crashed a few minutes after leaving the island due to lack of fuel and some damages.”
I heard that some therapists advise to think at least one happy thought a day – So thank you for that thought.
You’re welcome.
As for Lapedus, Miles and Ricardo. They might as well have managed to get on a liferaft. I didn’t hate them that much. Or did they appear in the church?
Richard didn’t appear I’m sure. So maybe only he made it to a raft.
I think Lapedus, Miles and Ricardo’s life all sucks inside the show. Lapedus is there only because the writers need him to fly the plane. He didnt do anything on S6. (is that why his pilot clothes stay clean?)
The island has nothing to do with Miles too. How many ghosts did he talk with from S4-S6? less than 10 I guess.
Ricardo is even worse, he wasted hundred of years of his time helping the leader on the island for no reason. What is his contribution? Helping ben to bury Alex?
I’m not so sure Richard can ever die, even if he had a gray hair. So he gets a gray hair every hundred years.
If Smokey can not snap his neck, well … a little thing like age isn’t going to do it very soon.
Jimmy Kimmel said “who knew the actor who played Alpert was part raccoon?”
heh.
I always thought they would mention Alpert’s dark lashes as being some leftover habit of using eyeliner when he was a Pharaoh.
All I got was a raccoon joke.
That would’ve been a genius explanation, which is of course why Darlton dismissed it.
I retardedly did think of “ancient Egyptians” when I noticed Alpert’s eyeliner and obviously was aware of hieroglhyphs in the temple etc as well as the fact that Richard didn’t age, but retardedly never made that connection.
Because it was all a bullshit attempt to tie together the sideways flash. Someone came up with the parallel flash idea and instead of actually making it an alternate timeline, which would have worked out fine if you had actual professionals working on the thing, they made it into the most hackneyed, most predicted ending possible. It was lazy lazy writing is all. Just beyond ridiculous. It is the stuff your Creative Writing 101 teacher in community college would laugh at you for.
And this to me is the most ridiculous thing in the whole conceit: How does Claire have a baby when she is dead? A baby is born in the afterlife? Aaron in the normal Island timeline was not a newborn child. Aaron should not appear in the afterlife this way.
It is utterly senseless, all of it.
The only way to respect anything about LOST is to break the short term intrigues they built into separate episodic pieces. There was a lot of good stuff if taken in parts.
Truthfully though, anyone whose intelligence was not insulted by the almost brain damaged attempt to wrap this show up, clearly does not have an IQ big enough to be offended.
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of Darlton’s conceits than this hole of light on craphole island.
The more I think of it, the more ridiculous the whole, “You must protect the light” thing becomes. After a multitude of clues, and six years leading to “the secret,” it came down to that? I don’t get it.
“And this to me is the most ridiculous thing in the whole conceit: How does Claire have a baby when she is dead? A baby is born in the afterlife? Aaron in the normal Island timeline was not a newborn child. Aaron should not appear in the afterlife this way.”
The baby thing would have worked if they had not brought the baby into the church. All that shit outside the church is a construct. Claire holding the baby with her was tantamount to Jack bringing his “son” into the church, which of course, he could not do, because that shit ain’t real.
The baby thing was pretty damned insulting. What we are “supposed” to believe is that Aaron later died and joined them all, BUT, the “rule” for them traveling as group after death to wherever Jack’s Dad is leading them (so to speak) is because they all knew each other and bonded due to the events on the island were so important, yadda yadda ya.
Aaron would not be a part of this pack of souls. It was a crippling mistake. Like they just wanted to show the baby.
Beelzebub is right. It’s is about the dumbest thing about the whole episode. It is, literally, senseless. Why the writers would do that…. is the real mystery.
Somone argued with me that the baby wasn’t really Aaron, but just part of the construct, but I can’t buy it. She would have left the kid behind, like Jack left his no talent son behind.
The birthing scene was logically ok, because it wasn’t real and was just a memory trigger.
Was that even Christian’s coffin? Or did Desmond and Hurley just orchestrate that shit? Unclear, because Desmond is the one who called Jack and told him the cargo was located. WTF?
Then they had to go show the baby in the church and I was confused as hell. (I’ve grown accustomed to this.)
But one redeeming quality… in the church scene, waaaaaaay back at the back… you can clearly see Abe Vigoda.
About goddamn time.
Dammit I was so let down by the whole shitaree I didn’t really pay that much attention to exactly who was in the room. Man I really liked Barney Miller and Abe Vigoda was the biggest reason why. Him and old Jack Soo. What a great show, they sure don’t make them like that anymore…..
True. Creative writing teachers say not to make a story with cliches.
Lost was overloaded with cliche’s and the fianle was the biggest cliche of them all.
The writers flunked their tv writing class!
Lost – The Great Purgatory Plot Hole of 2010!!!!
wikipedia…
“How does Claire have a baby when she is dead? A baby is born in the afterlife? Aaron in the normal Island timeline was not a newborn child. Aaron should not appear in the afterlife this way.”
Huh. I hadn’t realized this. Just when I thought the finale couldn’t possibly be any more convoluted and ridiculous, someone points out something new.
It’s like a kaleidoscope of stupid.
It’s like a kaleidoscope of stupid.
This is just golden. HA! Except a kaleidoscope is pretty and this show was ugly.
Would someone like to recap all the comments in The End! and post it here? I think that would really help going forward…
Never ask me that again!
1. Re-crap
2. The End
There’s no time for that!
I fucked your son’s dog.
(Hey, I was lonely.)
That explains those weirdass puppies anyway.
One more question answered.
OK, here we go, Hmmm don’t quite know where to start here. Hmmm, I got it!!! To sum it up in a nutshell “LOST REALLY SUCKED DONKEY ASS!!!” How was that? Played only for true…..
You mean you didn’t like it?
Hmmm, Ya put me on the spot eh? OK, I got it, Can you rephrase the question please? I’m not quite sure what it is that you are asking me that I didn’t like…..
Personally I didn’t give a hoot about the characters, I wanted most of them DEAD, like Kate, Locke, Ben, Locke, Kate, the Others, etc…I wanted to know all about the Dharma Initiative and Charles Widmore and Desmond…but, apparently none of it matters, as Desmond says…its a cheap cop out ending. They wasted an entire season playing the cliffhanger-keep-watching-this-shit episode to episode instead of giving us a PLOT.
Inevitably, the PLOT went down the Light-Hole at the end, and all we’re left with is one big chunk of polar bear crap.
It was all a polar bears dream trapped in side a snow globe!
No way man!!! It was a snow globes dream trapped inside a polar bear…..

It all came down to the cut on Jack’s neck. How could I have been so stupid to miss that???
The interviewer is hot.
Fuck those asshole douchebag cumbuckets.
“Push the envelope.”
Really?
Fuck you.
Yeah, out of all the possible endings, nobody expected us to do the lamest fucking one possible. We’re fucking brilliant!
High five Demon! High five Curse!
Seriously, the whole country has become so adept at spewing bullshit that it’s now just tossed around casually. “Never mind that there’s videotape of me saying I never had sex with that woman. This is the new reality. Blowjobs aren’t sex. Unless they is.” “Pay no attention to the fact that there were no WMDs. We never went over there for that reason. We’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here. Mission Accomplished, bitches!”
“So what if there are scores of websites dissecting every last fucking frame of our shit show for clues, factual inconsistencies and logical errors, we have a Really Bright Guy™ taking care of continuity. And forget that there are dozens of YouTube clips floating around of us saying that the show’s paranormal occurrences can all be explained by rational means and scientific processes. See this Wired article? We made the editor AND publisher (as well as a few cute male interns) all give us sloppy blowjobs before we would even let them talk to us. You know why? Because we had a science advisor on our payroll (soaking up ABC’s moolah doing bupkis).
“But guess what? As fucking awesome as we are at writing scienterific bullshit, we still say that this show is all about our characters. Our special fucking magic, double-dealing murderous characters. Say it with me: cchhhaaarrrraaaacccctttuuuurrrddds.”
Fuckos. Die in a fucking fire.
PS: A true TV pioneer, Art Linkletter passed today. RIP.
I remember watching Art Linkletter way back in the 60s. He had some funny shit…..
Meanwhile Western Australia is turning into LOST in real life… Soap opera plot murder mysteries, missing plane, glowing fucking creek… Insane.
What what whaat?
4 8 15 16 23 42
108 minutes later typed into my computer
4 8 15 16 23 42
I’m in Australia.
That should make Western Australia’s problems go away.
4 8 15 16 23 42
Or at least prevent any Lost sequel being made about the real life events in W.A.
4 8 15 16 23 42
Don’t worry about the Black Quokka on Rottnest Island off Perth planning to blow up the Island … simply go out and find someone you love .. don’t get Lost.
Did Dr Marvin Candle tell us what happens if I forget to put a space between the 8 and the 15 as I type? Does that make any plane of that number crash?
Never ask me that again…..
Locke: Don’t tell me what I can’t do!
We have to go back! The finale sucked!
Nah, nevermind. They screwed us!!
The worse this show got, the more I felt bad for people who liked it. It seemed inevitable that they’d eventually notice that this isn’t just filler, this is what the story has become.
Everything you liked about this show was long gone by the time it finished. Unless you liked the generic characters whose personalities changed from episode to episode.
This show sucked me in when walt said don’t push the button, the button is bad. I went and bought the season 1 dvd and ate everything up. I watched season 2 and some of season 3 before I realized that the show is never going to make any sense. I am glad that i stopped wasting my time, and I ended up being right. This show was awful.
LOST… jumped the hatch!
Lost… Cut the cheese!
The finale stunk!!!
Lost… Sunk the island!
And the finale drowned!!!
OK, late in the game, and refs a later ep than when I think LOST went to hell…
“humped the Polar Bear”
Hey, “humped” rhymes w/jumped and a polar bear is a dangerous but free animal like a shark. Sorry to spell it out but I quite like it.
Fuck it. I’ll unmask myself just to say that anyone asking about the “purpose of the statue” needs to snag some pliers somewhere and use them to pry his or her head out of his or ass. It’s a fucking statue. Here is what statues do: they stand there. This is the sole purpose of statues. Shut up about the fucking statue.
The pregnancy thing wasn’t explicitly answered, but it’s pretty clear to anyone with two brain cells to scrape together that the high levels of electromagnetism just may have had something to do with island-caused fertility problems.
Yeah, the Walt shit was never explained, but I don’t really care. He was sort of a douche anyway.
Whoever is doppelganging me, feel free to continue. You suck balls at it.
Shout-outs to everyone who originally welcomed me before I got pissed and left. That’s basically Nico and Preev, Turkey (assuming he exists), and the Meisters. I fucking loved the finale, because honestly, I don’t take this shit nearly as seriously as you guys do.
Let’s get coffee sometime, Raptus. i hope you’re enjoying season three of Breaking Bad, fuckwit, and don’t spoil the most recent episode because I haven’t watched it yet.
Have a nice day.
“The pregnancy thing wasn’t explicitly answered, but it’s pretty clear to anyone with two brain cells to scrape together that the high levels of electromagnetism just may have had something to do
with island-caused fertility problems.”
only pregnancy? what about fertility in the first place? what about the soft tissue of the human brain? only pregnancy? give me a break
maybe you were exposed to too much electromagnetism yourself which left you with only 2 brain cells
Yeah, the Walt shit was never explained, but I don’t really care. He was sort of a douche anyway.
takes one to know one. still, they made a whole lot of fuss about him, and conveniently forgot about him.
I don’t take this shit nearly as seriously as you guys do.
good for you, aren’t you special! maybe you should have been the new jacob.
o.k. you’ve ”explained’ the electromagnetism, now please explain the 34873895238974523908749-23748902316492387 other sham/scam mysteries they introduced.
have a nice day
I literally have no idea what your first sentence said. What the hell is this brain shit that you’re babbling about?
For Walt: Again, I don’t care about Walt, so I guess I understand what you’re saying. And also, fuck you.
I’ll say it again. If you’re judging the show based on the number of answers they gave, then I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t keep a detailed record of every single unsolved mystery, because I really don’t give a shit how many they answer. They told us a story. If they didn’t want to answer this stuff, then that’s certainly their decision to make, and I guess I can sort of see why that would rankle people. But for people to go around spouting shit like “they wasted six years of my life!” (which isn’t even mathematically true) is infantile.
I literally have no idea what your first sentence said. What the hell is this brain shit that you’re babbling about?
intense Electromagnetism would affect many things and would not only cause death at birth why not before it? and how do you know that? are you a doctor? why would it kill women who got pregnant on the island but not women who arrived there?
EM would probably prevent getting pregnant in the first place, it might cause brain tumors and other nasty stuff.
desmond’s uniqueness was his immunity to EM which would kill and killed other people.
now you see?
They told us a story. If they didn’t want to answer this stuff, then that’s certainly their decision to make, and I guess I can sort of see why that would rankle people.
whether it is a mystery show or not was argued about here about a zillions times.
go read the exchanges. i think we won.
but since you are an elder statesman – most people agree that it is a mystery show, we know that, most fan sites are about theories not about character analysis, the writers know that, and they put questions in order to lure us. they promised a solution that would tie everything together and would not be a ‘6th sense’ ending and they lied.
so even if they meant for lost to be a character driven show (no way), they knew most people cared mostly about the mystery and strung them along.
even as a character driven show, the characters acted like robotic fools, so it doesn’t matter.
either way the writers are huge douche-bags.
so if you want to claim that it wasn’t about the mysteries go ahead. i fail to see how can you say that
Lost was a non story.
They told a “non” story very well.
Thats just it, no they didn’t…..
Oh yeah. They didn’t.
Lost is tv garbage.
But Walt was explained…..
The Producers in interviews said that they like word games.
Walter Lloyd is an anagram of “worldly tale”. Lost was a worldly tale. No more, even if viewers wanted Lost to be more than that. So Walt, or Walt’s name, was important.
So they did explain all about Walt, if you listened closely to them. Not the explanation that many viewers wanted, but it was given.
Who built the statue?
This is right up there along with “What is the Man in Black’s real name?” on the list of “Shit I Don’t Care About.” Seriously, this was your burning question? Who built a statue that showed up for a maximum of two minutes of show time?
the history of this mystery island – which is the playground for almost all the events in the show, is not important. o.k. sure.
But anyway. Who built the statue?
Why is there an island at all? The whole story could have taken place in a junk yard.
No need to solve mysteries there.
JT’s mom built the statue.
Who gives a shit.
It isn’t any one answer that would make the show not suck; the sum of the parts just don’t add up to more than shit on shineola and they never will.
The questions aren’t answerable because they weren’t meant to be.
They were meant to distract us from the fact that the characters weren’t interesting enough to sustain a Mexican telenovela* long enough to get us to their end game which was that they were all dead and in Limbo. (That was their original plan, it just manifested itself differently from the initial conception. This is very obvious in retrospect, and I will not debate it.)
*an insult to telenovelas, I know — lo siento
sokay man, you jes keep on man…..
If you were on another planet and you saw a statue of Paul Bunyan, you would have an idea of who put that fucker there.
The statue on LOST was built by the Egyptians. They opened some goddamn gate (under the Great Pyramid) and teleported there long ago. That’s why the pyramid was built. It’s not a burial chamber. It’s a fucking cork. That’s why it’s a greeeeeeat pyramid.
The Egyptians then interpreted the island as part of their culture.
In reality, the Dharma tapes say it best about the island light … it’s a pocket of exotic matter. It’s not sentient. Has nothing to do with morality. It has unpredictable effects on everything from bombs to babies. All this good and evil shit we saw started with Jacob’s crazy mother.
Hurley’s island with Ben at #2 was an island that made extensive use of the Magic Box and made a ton of fruit pies.
I don’t care. It’s like bitching about needing to see the exact blueprints of the USS Enterprises’s engine. The writer’s can’t explain the exotic matter and they don’t need to explain the statue.
So. Statue issue is solved. It’s obviously ancient Egyptian and was built by them or descendants of them. Just be fucking glad it was not Paul Bunyan and a blue ox standing there.
Or the statue of liberty half buried in sand.
Damn you! Damn you all to Hellllllllllllll!
OK, thats as bullshitty as this show was!!! I definitely think things should be explained, not just the statue but many other things. Like the others back story. The way the story is told just goes to show you how stupid and lame these fucks are. Because writers they are not…..
The whisper ghosts built the statue!
It was a time travel thing.
I’m more interested in how a wood boat tears down a stone statue. I would rather they just had that statue deconstruct itself due to 1000 years of neglect then have it fall apart when the boat struck it. I felt that the boat should have broke apart on that statue and the statue should have still been standing with not but a scratch. Same as when any ship/boat dashes itself to pieces on rock. That Jacob must be a poor stonemason.
Who’s on first?
Walter chases a fly.
This is probably the best way to explain the show. Even though it makes a little more sense then this piece of shit show did…..
Why was there a statue? Did we need to know about it, the numbers cave or the light house to hate the ending even more?
Did you catch the Breaking Bad season finale? It was awesome!
It’s people asking the purpose of the statue that led the writers to turn it into Jacob’s permanent (although, not for long) living quarters. These questions will only lead to more upsets.
moron.
you have our sympathies.
FWIW, I did like the ending because it means no more Lost. Thanks for coming back JT.

go back and watch the first season/episode again. Something you might realize was that the show sucked from day one. A lot of people (myself included) assumed the writing/acting/whatever was better back then, it really, really wasn’t. There were a few exceptions (Locke and the overall production value being the only ones i can think of) but the show was the same badness the entire time. At some point it all just went from intriguing and mysterious to well, retarded I guess. Anyways, just something to think about…
Yeah I agree, the writing and acting was always bad. But I think many of us were willing to put up with that because we expected the show to tell a good story (even if it told it badly).
I don’t mind killing off a main character cause I like realism; but Locke is one of the characters who I had thought was there with a real purpose. I really liked watching his character develop with him trying to speak to the island with his smoking his island wacky weed paste and then transitioning into leader of the others and next thing you know its just as MIB said. Locke was a sucker and his life never really meant anything, he was just using him. And then is where I kinda think the writers are speaking directly to us. Were the suckers and the show was just a big tease. It never meant anything all along. Were Locke and they are MIB, and they got what they wanted out of it and were the poor saps.
The writers “suckered” us in to the story they wanted to tell. They did not care about the fans.
There are many sci fi and adventure stories with a good ending. Lost isn’t one of them.

All dogs and niggers will not go to Heaven. And thus is the cosmology of Lost. Amen and goodnight.
Nor the people burried alive. Nor those working for a company whose name starts by a D. Nor the French hippies. Nor the Hispanic cops.
Nor many people, in fact, since we didn’t see all the filling characters of the seasons 2 and 3…

Do you faggots have to remove your pointy white hoods before you type racist shit, or not?
Just wondering exactly how ‘brave’ you pussies really are… try posting a mugshot of yourself with your next racist comment if you think ur hard, cunt. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
That is all.
WHATEVER!!!!!
Although I agree with your sentiment, I must point out the irony of accusing someone of being a bigot while using bigotted language [i.e., calling them faggots].
dear retard,
what happened to rose?
oh wait she wasn’t that important to explain.
hey, ya need one cliche black person though right? It’s not because all the other black people got sick of the writers bullshit and incompetence…(wonder how much they paid her for 4 minutes of screen time)
So, how much did you enjoy the experience of getting away with using the N-word (purely because you’re too much of a PUSSY to say it to a Black man’s face, so you have to go online to do it)?
Tell the truth… it’s the only time you feel like a real man isn’t it? The only time that you can fool yourself into thinking that you’ve got nuts… you probably even get a boner just typing the letters.
Then you leave your house, and you realise how much of a pathetic bitch-ass fool you really are.
Cunt.
They say you are what you eat…..
HEY MAN ! I just had a wonderful MISERY-like flash with Dlarton and the other dumbass…. hu hu hu !
Anyway, I think all we’re doing is just hurting ourselves more. As Jelson said (wow, second time I agree with him), we should just kindov let go.
I will tell you what this situation is like:
imagine that you see a man trying to jump from a tall building, you instinctively run and manage to grab his arm as he leaps, now your grasp is the only thing that prevents him from falling down.
Now you look at his face and see it’s Carlton.
you want to yell at him and tell him that he’s a fucking turd. BUT
you should just let go.
There ya go. I would just let go.
OOOPS!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..BOOM…..CARLTON…..
Before leaving this site, I would like to ask everyone on this site at which episode exactly you saw what we all saw on this site “Why Lost Sucks”.
In my case was in season 4 on the fifth episode “The Constant” when they started with the time travel crap with Desmond.
When was your moment that you realize that Lost Sucks?
My moment was in season 3 when the others turned out to be a bunch of suburbanites. Nothing but disappointment from there on out.
I still had that childlike sense of wonder when I saw the suburb.
it was after a very boring episode in the third season of ‘Gilligan’s Island’ (1966) that JJ parents decided to have sex and spawned him 9 months later.
Donkey wheel and the disappearing island.
But I didn’t dislike time travel as a conceit. It was the mechanism by which it was achieved.
ditto re time travel. it’s like nudity. all for it, as long as it makes sense.
I don’t know that I fully realized the potential suckage that would be at this point but the first time I was terribly annoyed was when I watched the episode in which all that happens is Hurley gets that van started. There was a dramatic element to it but I’m not even sure, looking back, that there was a point to rolling it down the hill and risking their lives. I’ll be disappointed if nobody answers with “the Nikki and Paolo episode.” The show itself was in purgatory at that moment, though, I guess.
What really irked me was seeing a silly graph that was part of a number of scientific trappings to supposedly explain time travel. I’m pretty sure I saw “mA” as the label for the y-axis which I took to mean milliamperes. I’m no Hawking/Faraday but I don’t think forces that pull planes out of the sky operate on such an order of magnitude.
It’s hard to really point to a moment in which you realize nobody knows what the hell’s going on but that was really the key thing to recognizing the “suck.” We had all these characters vaguely warning of the end of existence at so many points along the way who either died before they could share details or eventually admitted they were clueless. Maybe Eloise Hawking is the exception? She can be the star of AfterLOST.
in retrospect, the nikki and paulo episode is one of the best because it stands alone and has a true beginning middle and resolution all in one episode. it’s probably the only one worth rewatching at this point since it’s the only episode that wasn’t ruined by everything that came after it.
That’s an excellent point. If they were all like that, maybe we’d have something to treasure like The X-Files.
you’re right
And it has Billy Dee Williams!
Don’t let the smooth taste fool ya.
When they went to Jacob’s spooky cottage. Remember saying to friends “Stick a fork in this show; it’s done.”
Ah yes and it was revealed that Ben didn’t know jack shit, followed by objects flying around randomly. Didn’t like that ep either.
First episode, season 2. When they gave the nonsensical answer to what was in the hatch, I knew they were making it up.
hehe.
I quite liked how it was totally unexpected.
BTW, I only realized the Others weren’t the remnants of the Dharma Initiative in that episode in which they meet Mikhail Bakunin in that house.
I even like that, I could swallow that crap and a lot more crap like a Smoke monster and some other mysteries but, when the show change from rational explanations to sci-fi explanations then for me was over. Completely over!!!
What amazes me is that the writers of the show are professionals that write these scrips and they bring food to their table, so, my question is how come someone that is a professional of writing scripts could not realize that the script they were writing was shit, how the hell can you think this is any good? really? I am a professional on Sales and I know when I fuck up like any other professional, how the hell this people did not see that?
Think of it in terms of sales. If sales staff can lie to get the margin in for the bosses and still get paid their cut plus salary, some businesses would just be, “hey man who fucking gives a shit, it’s about money, not morality.”
So too with the amoral world of writing for screen.
Write a script. Question is “who does it hurt”? Who will react on an emotional level to the script ie watch and keep watching, buy the movie ticket, whatever. Do that, get the hook, you make the production money. Beyond that, LOST’s showmakers are lying about caring about the audience if they have ever even said that they care. I’m pretty sure they have never even said they care.
All they’ve done in six years is given a Full Metal Jacket Reacharound at the end of the show. They made their stack, the network made its stack, they could care fucking less about the morality play or anything else.
Matthew Fox and the rest could care fucking less about the characters. It’s the fans who see the characters as real. Inside the velvet rope it’s about ego and ego is about the actors not the characters. There are fuck all actors in the LOST ensemble’s position in the first place and of the ones who are, it’s their job, not their religion. Otherwise they’d be on stage, not on screen, in most cases.
Cold hard reality for them all is cold hard cash. It’s commercial art, heavy on the commercial, easy on the art.
LOST = McDonalds, not 5 star haute cuisine.
“Be good, not original”
“We know what’s good by what sells”
etc.
Fucking greedy fuckers!!! They are more loyal to the money than to their fans!!
Hmm hard to say. In late season 1 or early to mid season 2 it became evident how they were just piling up mysteries and realized that this was a technique to lure viewers and keep them addicted. However, I was still fairly confident that they were manageable. Also, erratic character behavior (Charlie, Locke, Eko) annoyed me a little. I was glad when Ana Lucia finally died.
In season 3, I became annoyed at the pointless digging and caging on Hydra island and that Desmond could see the future and randomly move his mind into his past self. My skepticism, that this show was going anywhere increased.
I hated Charlie’s preventable death and Locke’s out of the blue murdrr of Naomi, but thought on the whole the season finale was pretty cool.
I think that my first whylostsucks post indicated the point at which the pileup of mysteries and pointless erratic character behavior became to much to bear and I realized the whole show sucked and was definitely going nowhere, as opposed to just individual episodes or parts thereof sucking:

“Yes, it’s a special moment for “Lost,” as for the 1,000th time a character is asked a direct question which might possibly shed a tiny bit of light on wtf is going on – “How did you know that they (Dead people) were there?” Sawyer snarls at whatshisface asian dude, and the question is ignored or brushed off and just lays there like a dog turd, ignored forevermore.”
Yeap.
That pretty much sums it up.

Its just like those people that can tell your fortune by staring at goat intestines. Only LOST makes less sense than that.
So that would be the 10th episode of the 4th season, “Something Nice Back Home”, although I remember “the Constant” as being pretty shit too.
I’ve had lingering doubts for a while now. Charlies pointless death may have been the tipping point. The end of season 5 was the clincher though. When I realized that basically everything on the blast door map was pointless bs that was never going to mean anything. The really crazy thing is, someone took the time to make it look like there was a deep backstory there.
Haha, how come all the assault rifles on the shows like AK-47s and derivatives had short magazines?
Season 2, episode 1, although I had spoilers of it definitely sucking alien balls when it leaked that they had zero idea what the hatch was and that Jack was dead in ep 1. At that point I realised the screeching squealing noise wasn’t a sound effect, it was the tyres skidding all over the road just before the gagump KAWHUMP *whistle* of the car bouncing off of the road and plunging to the bottom of the gorge.
Was disapointed by the hatch/button but still had faith. The beginning of season three with Kate and Sawyer in the cages was when I realized it sucked.
I googled “lost sucks” during season four because I absolutely hated the new characters, particularly Faraday, and everyone loved the Constant, and I thought it was the most obvious sign they were just going to keep throwing random shit against the wall. And that’s when I found this wonderful place.
Well I wouldn’t say even at this point i 100% hate LOST, but the day I googled this site is the day after season 5’s series finale. Yeah I had noticed things that were starting to get on my nerves (Especially the fact that the Time Travel moments didn’t incorporate scenes from earlier seasons, for example maybe in season 1 when we just saw an other creeping around in the jungle it was actually Sawyer hiding OMG! -pissed me off there was none of that), but the episode that turned the show from a fairly eclectic sci-fi adventure into a mythical omnipotent God showdown is what punched me in the stomach. Jacob touching people in the past with no prior hint of this made me irate and that was the first summer I didn’t rewatch prior seasons or tons of eps to get me hyped for the next season.
LOST for some odd reason will always have some type of hold over me, I mean as shitty as it can be sometimes there is still nothing quite like it, but it was last season’s finale where I understood that the show would never be what I desperately believed it could have been.
I guess I”m a sucker because I actually liked season 3. Although I did think that it was really starting to drag its feet with the cage and Jackass operating on Ben episodes. The finale where Charley dies is when I said “I think this show kinda sucks anymore.” I had watched to many rather good episodes though to give up in it. Plus I didn’t like that annoying little hobbit anyways. I figured that they would pull their heads out of their asses and get it together. It never happened though. Watching season 4 was more than I could take with the Jackass Hollering “We gotta go back” shit. So I missed a few episodes there. Season 5 started and I did watch the first couple of episodes. then didn’t watch a few. Then one evening LO$T was on but I was in the bedroom on the computer when I wondered what was on the internet about this stupid show. I put in a search on dogpile and low and behold there were a shit load of these LO$T sites. I couldn’t believe it. As I was browsing through the names of all these sites, I see this one that is called WHY LO$T SUCKS. I thought that one hits the nail right on the head. I clicked on it and started reading some of the posts and was thinking that those were my sentiments exactly. Some of the posts had me laughing my ass off. So the next week I decided to watch the show and then check out the site. The week after that I started commenting and ya aint been able to shut my ass up yet…..
And don’t sell your own website short. That is fucking awesome.
Starting from S2, I didn’t watch all episodes on the DVD. I start to skip episode by reading the wiki version. Sometimes I simply read the summarized wiki version for an episode. I think I was getting annoy since S2 and want some answers.
I think I felt the show sucks after S4 and S5 got even worse. So I typed Lost Sucks in google and found this fantastic site!
If you gave up on it before you even started S2 how the fuck can you have credibility even on a site like this? If you watched up to Jacob’s Cabin, i’ll give you full credence to jump boat and bash (Hell the beginning of S3 MAYBE) but HTF do you not even watch season 2 then read some summaries and think you can tell people “told ya so”, that’s worse than liking the show…Not just talking to you, all who do this…
I stopped watching halfway trhue S1, told yall!!!! Bakas (Idiots)!!
You brainless Jap faggot. Did you ever read a single page of lostpedia version of lost? Its a complete plot for each ep! When the fuck I told you I only watched up to S2?
You use your ass to think? s1-s5 is complete shit that you just ate for dinner. I know u love that, enjoy it. Bakayarō
@Lost sucks, arigato you fucking bakayaro for showing me the light, that by reading lostpedia you know every fucking thing…Keep up the great commenting…
I skipped episodes then read wiki versions and still KNOW SHIT…Great…
I watched Season 1 on DVD and loved it.
I watched Season 2 on DVD and could see why some may have been frustrated week by week, but watching through one weekend, it was great.
I watched Season 3 live, and by the second half, I felt it had redeemed itself. I really loved the finale.
Season 4 was spotty, but I figured maybe it was because of the writer’s strike and gave them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t watch a lot of TV, so Lost was the one show I decided I’d follow. I liked the idea of having 9 months off of television and I was looking forward to Season 5…
Season 5, first episode, stunk to high heaven. I typed in “lost sucks” and this site has kept me going ever since.
A bunch of my friends were trying to figure out the meaning behind the series finale. It’s one thing to try and figure out the meaning behind a well-crafted show. It’s another thing to try and fill in the holes and repair a poorly written story with your own logic. This show doesn’t deserve explaining. I refuse to do the writers work for them. The show is garbage. End of discussion.
“It’s one thing to try and figure out the meaning behind a well-crafted show. It’s another thing to try and fill in the holes and repair a poorly written story with your own logic. This show doesn’t deserve explaining.”
This is very true. Most Lost fans say the finale is superb because it helps you to think for deeper meaning. OMG, there’s no deeper meaning, only dipshit in the show.
If the show started out in purgatory and then they showed how Jack and the others got there, the back story, would you still have watched it?
Be honest…
That will be extremely sucks!
When the Producers said in an interview way back at about the start of Season 2 that it’s not purgatory, has anyone played that comment back in slow motion and applied the “lie detection” techniques used in the show Lie To Me? I always thought there was something odd about their faces as that comment was made.
I was quite optimistic and thought they could eventually solve all the problems in the last season. So around the first eps of the 6th season, when it became kindov a sitcom.
And, actually, what disappointed me in the finale was not much that it was bad, but that it was not even funny, as the earlier eps were.
TIme Travel sealed the deal for me in terms of thinking “something’s just not right” but I was really mesmerized by the acting ability of Michael Emerson and didn’t look up this site until the episode in season 6 after “Dr. Linus.”
At that point, it was just too much of the “I can’t answer that because we don’t have time, but I need to scratch my balls” bullshit and I couldn’t take anymore.
I also watched the first five-and-a-half seasons on DVD/Bluray/online so it does seem to go down easier that way. Having a week to think about the episodes would have stopped me cold in season 1, I’m sure.
I never really heard of the show until the gap between Seasons 4 and 5. I actually thought it was just ABC’s version of Survivor until my girlfriend told me about it. I had no interest in the show, but I wanted to feign interest in something that was her favourite; at least until I managed to catch an episode. I watched the intro video before season 5, followed by the first episode itself. I was not impressed.
After watching the two following episodes with her, and mocking it in bed one night, she flipped out on me and said I had no right to insult the show. She said that if I watched it from the beginning, everything I made fun of would make sense. I started to feel bad and forced myself to watch the first episode of season 1 online, but I just laughed at it and couldn’t watch the whole thing. After another two episodes had aired, I finally decided to download the first season and sit through the whole thing, because even if I didn’t find it entertaining, she would at least grant me the right to complain.
Over the month I watched entire series with my brother and girlfriend, and we were all caught up by the airing of the season 5 finale. I laughed through the whole thing, and burst out laughing at the inverted LOST at the end. I’m not sure how much time I spent on this website beforehand (because I know for a fact that I tried finding poor online reviews to link her at one point) but after that, and throughout the summer, I definitely must have spent quite a bit of time here.
I gave Lost every chance, but then it started to suck when they showed us a mystery then the next year it did not matter.
The first year Walt mattered. The second year the hatch mattered, but Walt didn’t. After awhile the numbers did not matter anymore.
This happened every year until we got to season 6 only then the whole show did not matter, and then we had the purgatory ending shoved in our face!
“…we got to season 6 only then the whole show did not matter”
Quoted from truth [and lulz].
“…we got to season 6 only then the whole show did not matter”
Quoted from truth. And also because it made me lol.
Why did they give Lost such a pussy ending? What were the writers thinking?
Sorry, I’m sure some or all of this has been posted already, but I just don’t have the time to read 1500 posts. No doubt everyone was hoping like I was that the dog would cock a hind leg and give Jack the send-off he deserved. When Hurley was told to take care of the island by doing what he does best, I was sure he’d say “Dude – I’m supposed to eat the island?” Was it ever explained why it was so important for Claire to keep her baby and not give it up for adoption? I’m sure that eventually there will be books by people with a lot more time and patience than I have about all the different ways this show bit the big one. Anyway, no matter what people do, they get to be happy and go to heaven. That is heavy, my man.
LOST sucks cork!
You mean Vincent did not lift his leg and pee all over Jack? I could have sworn…
Claire had to have her baby, because her baby Aaron wrote the scripts for Season 6. Didn’t you know?
As soon as he could hold a pencil, Aaron took over the Lost scriptwriting.
For part of Season 6, Sun’s kid Ji Leon wrote Sun’s part of the script to help Aaron out, but as Ji Leon can speak only Korean and not English, Sun could not speak English for a while.
Aaron and Ji Leon’s preschool teacher in Hawaii gave them both a C+ for writing.
The Producers really really wanted to give you the real explanations like these of the mysteries of Lost. Do you want more explanations?
I thought the kids name was Ji Yeon…..
Leon can’t write either.
Howdy, my first post but I have been lurking and reading for a while. Lot’s of good stuff here. Much better than this show deserves. While I appreciate
the excellent commentary some of you have posted, I think you may be giving
the ‘writers’ of this travesty too much credit. Personally I think they used the
Ronco Script-O-Matic 2000. They just fed it etexts and put their names on
the output. Kind of like the book The Policeman’s Beard is Half Constructed.
BTW, the shark jumping point for me was the introduction of the Polar bears.

They sure did not. Or about having the biggest number of fans satisfied? Why would they want to please their fan base?

Christian said he was real too. Doesn’t really make sense, does it?
He said they were “real” in the ALT universe too. So why couldn’t they be ghosts in both realities.
I don’t think so myself, but I see where people might believe they died in the crash.
My theory (like it matters) is that the Island was a physical place they found, but it served as a gateway or Purgatory (for lack of a better word). They were tested on the Island. (dead or alive, who cares at this point). They then went to the ALT, a sort of waiting room before they passed on.
Told you it was all Scientology.

Is that what scientologists believe? Life as a test that determines how you will spend eternity is common to many religions.
If they are all dead who cares if the island was real?
The smoke monster could have destroyed the earth and Jack would still have ended up the the after life. Big deal.
None of it mattered.
Oh my fucking god… speechless.
That’s a first…..
Cool. Wow. Amazing!
Posting again because the thread it was on was so dated, sorry (and when I re-posted the first time, it was shortly afterward that Residuum showed up so I’m being twice as annoying wanting someone to discuss this with me):
I thought (around the end of season one) that the show’s success would hinge on how the writers tied everything together where everything refers to the supernatural mysteries of the Island and how the LOSTies lives intersect even before the crash of Oceanic 815. Apologists want to shrug off the former but this is a big part of why I think the “it was all about the characters” crew is in denial:
John Locke’s biological father is the man who conned Sawyer’s parents;
Nadia had contact with Charlie and Locke;
Sawyer’s baby mama met Kate in Iowa so that would seem to have occurred before the season 1 crash;
Jack met Desmond at the stadium in LA;
Kate’s stepfather was Sayid’s captor;
Claire’s psychic was Mr. Eko’s acquaintance;
Locke’s supervisor was Hurley’s former supervisor;
Shannon’s father (Boone’s stepfather) was Jack’s patient and the perpetrator of his future wife’s car accident;
Sawyer’s girlfriend was Hurley’s lottery vendor; and
Ana Lucia’s partner was Hurley’s interrogator.
I’m not saying all these are hugely significant either but, based on the few of these we found out about in season 1 (not to mention the notion of the LOSTies having been chosen), I thought it reasonable to expect the hits, or coincidences, would keep on coming before finally culminating in a delicious narrative payoff.
You are absolutely right. All the intersected lives were a big part of the mystery and intrigue of lost. The apologists are just very sad little people that think that they are brilliant when, at best, they aren’t very smart. It doesn’t take much brain power to see that the writers wrote themselves in a corner because they kept piling mystery on top of mystery to keep people coming back. In the end they had to land the plane and they did it. Was it a good landing? Nope.
Anyone that says the show was about the characters was just not watching the same show I did. The characters were hollow cliches of traditional archtypes that acted inconsistently from episode to episode. The thing that kept me watching was the intrigue of how everything fit together. In the end, it didn’t fit at all.
There is nothing to discuss about this show because the show was not profound or intelligent. I actually feel dirty even posting about it.
The show was pure excrement.
Thanks for posting. I was hooked by the same intrigue you speak of and similarly wasn’t enthralled by the characters. By the end, I could only say that a character didn’t bother me at best… Part of that had to do with how numb I became, though. I think most all of them annoyed me greatly at one point or another. The one thing I can still say I enjoyed about LOST was how the show would sometimes off characters so abruptly it seemed gratuitous. I was thrilled when Cesar bit it and then Ilana later on.
I lived in South Korea for three years and my wife is Korean. The Korean coupls and every reference to Korean culture and family just grated on my nerves. It was so, completely, unbelievable.
I watched the show for the mystery and fast forwarded through the flashbacks. I never cared for the main characters except for Lock and Hurley. Unfortunately, the more I got of the Lock backstory, the less I liked him.
I also dug Hurley and Locke and that was about it. Both were ruined for me in season 2, especially Hurley with the bullshit schizoid angle. Talk about a cheap copout.
If you see a new sci fi or adventure show coming up don’t be suckered in. Be prepared for the…
LOST con… job!
How many more tv or movie writers will do the purgatory plot twist?
Don’t they know we have seen it a million times?
It is an old an tired plot device.
Did JJ and Darlton think they were original?
Nope it turns out that they were just doing a sort of improv / thank God you’re here using a whiteboard (it’s actually behind them in one of the KImmel clips) where they grab three names out of a hat and go for it.
Darlton = the Manatees of LOST.
Jeff brings up a really good point. The synchronicities were provocative and then were just left to wither.
“Painted themselves into a corner” is very very concise.
It’s what happens when you have too many writers working on one thing and it turns into a Jackson Pollock painting.
I would have done one more season, and explained ALL OF IT by using John Locke experiencing the walkabout with the dreamtime tibe and how it caused perturbations in consensual reality. Sci Fi meets religion head on. It’s all about the dreamtime.
But the writers just… well, did the fuckers even mention Mt. Uluru? Wasn’t the walkabout John was denied supposed to be more PIVOTAL to the story?
I’m depressed.
I think I’ll go on a walkabout myself.
I always felt they were more like cameos. Some of them amounted to little more than someone walking through the set.
i knew it – the end was the best episode ever! Everyone here was dead wrong.
all our questions were answered, and we all got to cry in church together at the end. LOST – I love you!
PS my pussy drips thinking about that hot boy, Sawyer.
This is the Residuum thread, not the The End thread. This is for why Season 7 Episode 1 “Residuum” sucks.
That guy’s a troll who stole my name.
It’s probably dripping because you got the clap…..
I got it from Matt #1
You are getting better but you still have a lomg way to go little butterfly…..
OK, one more time. They all died in the plane crash. Everyone else was already dead.
The island existed in the spritual realm. So anything was possible there.
Jack and his kindred spirits gathered in the church so that they could move on together.
Thats the gimmick of LOST, you are reading things into it that are not there.
I believe that as well, and there is no proof to dispute or believe otherwise.
For me, it doesnt matter whether the whole thing is purgatory or just B universe is purgatory. Both story lines sucks!
That is also true… just trying to tie this crap up.
@TheEnd – Jesus Christ, you’re one of those people that gave up after s1 yet understands everything and how shitty it is?
Let it go, Indiana. Let it go.
The gimmick is there was no gimmick.
Nothing. Nada. Bupkis.
Let’s make a list of “gimmicky” works (movies, books, TV) that actually “worked” much better than Lost.
In no particular order (and please don’t post the twist/spoilers):
Sixth Sense
Diabolique (the French version)
The Sting
The Sting II (just kidding)
The Grifters
Memento
Half of all Columbo episodes, maybe more
Life on Mars (UK version)
The Departed and its Hong Kong original
Psycho (and a large part of Hitchcock’s oevre)
Ghost
House of Games
That’s all I can come up with right now. I know there are more.
“OK, one more time. They all died in the plane crash.”
I’m with ya up til that point based on what I saw in the closing minute of the finale.
Staying in the spirit of what I think they tried to show in the church, here’s what I think happened:
O 815 is falling from the sky. Jack knows he’s about to die and realizes that he is as close to the complete strangers on the plane as he is to anyone back in his lonely life.
Not wanting to die alone, his subconscious creates a fantasy during the time it takes to fall from 30,000 feet and that’s what we saw.
Boom!
LOST
They didn’t die in the crash because the writers wrote it into the script that they didn’t. So there.
When you write your own multi-million dollar TV show you can write your OWN rules, Jacob.
WRONG. There is no proof anywhere – that was the writers intention. There is no official definitive answer.
Bakas, youtube or download Kimmel’s after-party show where they watched LOST Finale in the studio (Not that any of you will), when they showed the live audience the final scene of Fox closing his eye, that was it! They didn’t even show the after credit Oceanic Plane stuff…It was just closing credits backdrop!
Christ, I hope most of you experience REAL purgatory… Only that can cleanse you of your ignorance…
Oh…
The fucking island was REAL…
Umm… Do you think you are on the island right now?
He is the newest Jacob…..
Face it the writers stole the Lost story from an old Twilight Zone episode and many other stories.
None of it was original or groundbreaking.
That’s because when you examine Lost close up there is “nothing there” !!!
If nothing mattered in Lost what was the purpose of the butterfly in the Black Rock and the Hurley Bird in a previous season?
And what does the name Hurley mean anyway?
I don’t want to get into theories right after I said they mean nothing (and they don’t), but since the fans triumphantly declared that the island was real and the b-verse wasn’t and so the island wasn’t purgatory, and the mysteries don’t matter and so on. Here is a small “theory” which says different – I don’t believe – I just want to show it’s possible.
Since in the b-verse they were presumably born and then grew up and so on even it it’s not real, it could be that that is what happened in the A-verse, that is they died in another beginning\original universe (where they did know each other), then their memories were erased, and they were born in the A-universe, grew up, boarded the 815 flight and crashed, which would explain the connection between, the numbers, the island ghosts and so on. So the island was a real purgatory, and the b-verse not.
Actually they could have moved from universe to universe always being born again\reincarnated until they redeemed themselves (quantum leap style), some of them ran out of chances like Michael, and some of them are redeemed and move to heaven’s waiting room\table for five which they create for themselves and which is known as the b-universe.
That would explain the entire A-verse (since strange things happened on and off the island) and how they all really knew each other and how the a-verse is “real” – after all if heaven is real according to the show then so is purgatory.
Let me recap – I don’t believe it because I don’t believe the writers even have an explanation – just many many clues.
I just want to show that we can come up with a million theories about what is “real” and what is not and all that shit, while the writers listen and scoff. It’s an exercise in futility.
It doesn’t even seem like the LOSTies were born and gew up in the b-verse, though. Remember how Jack couldn’t remember having an appendectomy scar? He knew something was wrong…like he was living in The Matrix.
I don’t want to argue about something I pulled out of my…
The b-verse doesn’t make much sense, as is the entire show. I guess it was meant as a tool to jog their memories or something.
I don’t want to philosophize too much, but if Jack remembers having lived forty years in that universe, then in a sense he did live forty years there.
but like I said before, i don’t think the writers know what the ending means, and didn’t think it all through, so I’m not going to try to guess.
The fucking island shit was REAL, if you take nothing else from this show understand that the island and all the shit that happened on and off island WAS REAL, only the FSW were purgatory…
This show is fucked in alot of ways, but I’m going insane still reading people thinking it was ALL PURGATORY…
As long as you are going insane then my work at least, is done.
Really? show me when Christian said “The island, with Jacob and smokey and your lives after and before the crash were ‘REAL’ ”
He said some vague stuff (what a fucking surprise) that could be interpreted in many ways.
What I AM SAYING is NOT that the island was purgatory, and NOT that the island was real.
I AM SAYING that they themselves kept it vague on purpose because they didn’t have a good ending which would be both non purgatory and would explain the island. so they tried to have it both ways (or million ways).
And I am going insane when people like you think that the island being real is a good ending – “because it is all about the characters and we don’t care about the questions” and so on and so forth.
If this is your answer don’t even bother OK?
It’s all about the characters for the fans… Which is why every fansite in creation with one exception is ALL ABOUT THE FUCKING MYSTERIES.
I agree Jelson, if we’re going to base concrete conclusions on vague bullshit then cognitive dissonance has a new metier.
It is what it is, I enjoyed the finale, but thought the ending wasn’t satisfying enuff…I found “Across the sea” to be indefensible, but fuck it I still like LOST more than I don’t like it and there is literally nothing on TV that gives me that hyped feeling, sue me, I’ll truly miss the shit…But your still a fool if you think the whole show was purgatory or even that there’s this HUGASS DOUBT…
I could go full page spam explaining why like I did somewhat on the earlier topic page (Where Des’ entire storyline is obsolete if you believe this), but it wouldn’t be worth it…I’ll just give you a random crumb:
Why the everlasting fuck would Hurley and Ben be congratulating each other on being #1 and #2 Island guardians in FSW purgatory about the life they lived in another purgatory that they couldn’t remember?
The island was REAL stop trying to be cool like your in the Archie comics…
Um… People in purgatory are lost souls, not geniuses. If they were clear in themselves they wouldn’t be there.
Whatever arse they (or the writers) gabble, at the end of the day it’s a load of BULLSHIT that does not make sense even within its own terms of reference.
Nice question dodging in that first go round…So where the fuck did the plane crash? Ya know before it crashed right on Ben, Juliet, and Dez head sentencing them to purgatory level 1 aswell? Oh wait a minute, they didn’t exist and were just FSW purgatory party crashers…
Maybe you missed the point maybe not, but for others reading this- the original purgatory story was fucked up by darlton remember? Hence the arbitrary adding of other characters including those mentioned. In story version 2.0 which included them, if it is sticking to the original purgatory plan then yes they’re either other lost souls in their own shared delusion or just creatures of the between world. Like characters in a video game, or someone who simply won’t open mindedly discuss things.
@Tiger, Even if it was their plan, which I’m willing to agree with, the minute it stopped being their plan, it’s NOT their plan…
However fucked the series turned out because of poor planning or what have you, the fact remains that in the final result the Island WAS NOT Purgatory…Even if they had to zig-zag thru a shitstorm to make that happen, by season 1.5 or 2 , it was not longer what it may have been, so you have to judge it from there…
Souls in purgatory do not have a plan.
Ben ALWAYS has a plan…
The island was “real”. It was a real disappointment!
There was a fantasy movie, I don’t remember the name.
They showed a scene where the hero wins and kills the villain. Then the hero wakes up and the villain kills him.
It was all a dream. I hate when they scam the audience!
Dream, alt verse, purgatory it all sucks!
Prove that the island is real. Can you go there now and stay there?
Yes, you can!!! Hugo started a Mr. Clucks chicken joint and because he was the high almighty, he soon turned the island into a very classy high end resort. You can take tours of the old Dharma barracks. The hatches and even the beach where Flight 815 crashed. If you are willing to spend enough money you can even take the tour to see the glowing glory hole, but that ones gonna cost ya…..
Star Trek Generations. The Nexus.
BOOM
UNORIGINAL
The alt-verse is what it is.
Basically Hollywood bullshit, so it’s futile to try to analyze it further.
If it makes you feel better, it all takes place in peoples’ consciousness, there is no physicality to it (in any sense that we would recognize).
The Island was “real” in the show’s universe, even though it had:
a monster made of smoke,
time travel
time flashes
could be moved through time and space by turning a frozen donkey wheel at the bottom of a very deep well after which the person who turned the wheel ended up in the Tunisian desert
featured a great big glowing vagina which no one could find save a 2000 year-old retard, oh and this retard, when killed, comes back to life if you save his ashes; well he comes back to life anyway, but only as a 13 year-old, then he has to steal the ashes away from a guy who sees dead people, and once he does that he can grow to the ripe old age of 43 again and talk to a few select other people, but only if he lights a fire with his ashes (a fire that stays lit a really, really long time — note to self: have the gal put a call in to George Foreman’s people in the AM)
heals cancer (how the fuck can you tell)
heals paralysis
prevents bitches from gettin’ knocked up (unless they’re frigid gook broads)
crashes planes unless you enter 4 8 15 16 23 42 [execute] into a Commodore 64
See, that’s some REAL shit, yo.
Awesome you’ve just discredited 1,287,890 non-fiction stories, novels, movies, TV shows, video games, flash-presentations, Quiktime mov.-files, and bazooka joe gum wrapper stories because if there’s imaginary shit involved, CLEARLY it’s ALL BULLSHIT, CLEARLY NOTHING can be discerned within that context…
Excellent…
No, I just explained Lost.
And don’t ever insult Bazooka-Joe gum wrappers by comparing them to Lost again.
PS Don’t fucking patronize me, asswipe.
I know how to suspend disbelief.
Lost sucks because it isn’t any fucking good, not because its premise is fictional.
Lost’s creators don’t have 4/42 of the integrity of Mickey Spillane, or Rod Serling or Gene Roddenberry or, fuck, even Uwe Boll.
Those guys are all straight up about what they’re doing in their fiction. They don’t have to resort to a 120 hour mindfuck to draw you in.
So fuck off, friend.
(Really, I’m a nice guy. Don’t take all that too seriously.)
Fine, it’s not good, it’s not good, but in that not-goodness the fucking island WAS REAL and was not purgatory, just eggbeat that shit for a while until it sinks in…
Ah, not for sure….
Who the fuck made you the Pope of Chillitown?
^Uh, Jacob…
And that mofo was REAL on a REAL island with a shitty cave-light, but a REAL shitty cave light…
Hate the show til heavenly eternity, but when you get there, you won’t see a fucking island because it was REAL…
Ok, it was real – whatever.
Jacob is real! He lives in a condo in Encino!
And that mofo was REAL on a REAL island with a shitty cave-light, but a REAL shitty cave light…
————————————————————
Yeah, all that WAS real shitty!!! It was just as shitty of story telling as it gets too…..
One more question guys this one is a freebie:
What is the most annoying thing on any of this sixth seasons for you?
For me the most annoying thing was on this season the Jin and Sun Bull Shit, I was so glad when they died, I only regret that they did not suffer enough on their death.
What about you guys?
I didn’t get more screen time, but I killed so hard on the finale I can deal with it.
How do them black marbles feel rolling around in your ass? Fucking imposters anyways…..
My shout at the computer screen / television moment was the adding of more characters. I wanted it tightly focused on the island with the survivors we get introduced to and basically no one else other than the essential enemies and flashback meatpuppets.
If I really had to choose, probably that Jack, the biggest wanker of all time, got to have all those “I’m such a super-speshul hero-sue” scenes.
Of course, there’s the fact that pretty much the last 30 minutes didn’t make sense. Well, to be fair the last 6 years didn’t make sense, but I mean especially so.
Zoe.
Faraday.
The squint. The hushed talking. The skinny tie. The fact that he was the vehicle to introduce time travel. The ridiculous “goes back in time gets shot by mom story” arc that I know had the writers just thinking they were the cleverest.
Yes, I hate Faraday too. It was one of the biggest deception character for me on Lost because he start the time travel crap but, Zoe was such a bs character it was like Iliana, I hate them both just for the fact that the seem to show that they know it all and at the end they don’t know shit and die in a ridiculous way both of them.
He was the “science” guy, introduced to confuse us.
Doesn’t matter I hate him so much!!!
After Nikki and Paulo why would they dare to introduce characters that don’t matter like Zoe etc?
Same reason they made season 5 and 6 to make more pointless mysteries or connections with other characters so they can made up more bull shit so they can get more money. This people are about the money not the fans.
Fucking WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!!!! WAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLT…..
Anytime someone said they don’t have time to answer a question and then proceeded to lead people on a trek through the jungle.
This was kicking mud in the audience’s eye.
I am on the fence whether it was an intentional inside joke or just the only way they knew how to buy time to obscure the fact that they actually had nothing to obfuscate.
This is what pisses me off more than anything; it’s hubris, and an insult to the more intelligent [former] fans.
I agree with both of you mate, It piss me off too. That is why I am never going going to watch anything this fuckers produce or write no more, I am not even going to download it, its a waste of my time and my connection.
Back to the beach, back to the jungle – over and over again.
The entire 6th sense (I mean season…) Alt-verse LA BS, was nauseating from beginning to end. Especially, the introduction of that fuck-wad kid, Jack’s son. All a boring, waste of time.
Hey that kid was a pretty good actor, real professional for his age. He’ll be doing some nice things down the line, mark it down. Dylan Minnette is his name, keep an ear for it.
You still trying to feed us your bullshit imposter? Go shit some more black marbles…..
I was under extreme secrecy man. They even checked my ipad for potential pre-show leaks. I just wanted to be cool man. Hilarious that you went into finale with that on your mind though, haha. How bout two tickets to my upcoming flick “Billy Smoke”?
If it aint no better then LO$T you can put them in the same place you got them black marbles…..
Dylan Minnette sucked in Saving Grace and he sucked in this, too. His future is along the lines Family Affair’s Jody branching out to do Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
The thing that I hate more on this season even more than Jack useless child was the explanation for smokey, I think it was ridiculous the Lock/Smokey thing was like the biggest bull shit I have ever seen on tv especially because smokey was meant to be a security system, that even the others protect themselves of it with the sonic fence. What the hell happen with that explanation? From a security system to the devil, seriously what the fuck?
I got one more question that I hope that someone can answer me, who the hell was the Jacob on the cabin that Locke saw on the chair? Since we know it wasn’t Jacob. Who was trap on that cabin? MIB? Seriously what the fuck happen to this show?
Really what the hell happen to that? Because I don’t get it, do you?
Sorry, no.
I liked when it turned out that Locke was the smoke monster, because it was essential in proving the first thing I ever said about the show. “Jack’s dad is just Locke from the future.” It was the stupidest time travel-based thing I could think of, with the only two character names I could remember, but the smoke monster actually appeared as both characters.
I hate it because was the lammest excuse ever, what about kate’s horse, who was that? The whispers?
No, the ‘answer’ was horrendous, I just felt on a personal level that learning my purely-for-the-sake-of-mocking statement turned out to be true was satisfying.
There were a lot of ways the show could have gone, and a lot more answers that should have been revealed.
Damon and Carlton are laughing at us, but they are rich turds now!
When Kate says something like:
“What, his name is Christian Shepherd? You’ve got to be kidding.”
This line destroys our pure hatred for the suckiness of Season 6 by suggesting that the Producers are in on the joke, that they know that anything said by a character with a name like this is a real wank, even if what Chris says brings in the big ratings by creating a sappy (soppy?) ending.
This makes it hard to hate the finale as much as we want to.
Lost wipes ass!
Yes it does!!! It don’t get it very clean either…..
And just to keep the endless cycle of troll and re-troll going, dear fucking compulsives who cannot abide criticism of LOST,
rewatch Pilot for the hundredth time or whatever. Arrow in on Jack’s eye as it opens, and PAY ATTENTION.
The white-light-of-heaven is in his eye and the black cloudy woudy thing zooms off in his eye. That was deliberately put into the eye reflection closeup you idiots. IE, it was purgatory as of Season 1 Ep 1.
And yes, that is a true statement as to what is in his eye, and yes, I am just pointing this out to fuck with you. Fuck you, LOST apologists, for supporting the unsupportable. You are mind control enablers one and all.
LOST sucks.
From your impressive knowledge of all this esoteric Lostrivia, I reckon you are a recovering Lost theorist.
So when did you sober up? I hope it wasn’t this week…
Lost definitely Sucks.
Season 1 Episode 5 inklings dawned. Season 2 Episode 1 it broke my heart watching-the-show-wise. From that point on, I’ve watched it each year in a marathon, and moved on.
My encyclopedic knowledge is just one of the things I’m blessed with, for whatever reason, LOST I suppose should at least be credited with randomly choosing pages from the Inherited Tigers’ eidetic memory Wikia or whatever. But not really, we could discuss desideria and esoterica without the LOST nexus. And that way we wouldn’t have to put up with a troll patrol.
BOOM
LOST
hahaha
thanks for writing it again.
No matter
Just read your
2010-05-26 18:28:14 post.
Please create vidcap of said eye and post for all of us to enjoy.
I think the show can have a million interpretations because the writers changed direction a million times.
Intentionally or not, many a LOST cultist has that piccy as their avatar. His eye clearly show not the bamboo bordered sky but something else entirely. I’ll whack it up on the blog I guess.
Thanks. I’m curious to see.
I can’t find a good enough screen cap and I’m not going to waste an hour looking but google it or go to LOST is a Game, he has it there I believe. Also it’s a fuckton of people’s avatars. It’s the one with his eye and you can see a white reflection. It presumably came from an ABC publicity still, it doesn’t look like a screen cap. There’s also a whole thread somewhere on the forum of the damned aka Fuselage about it.
Ugh. The Fuselage. I can’t go there. Just can’t. It’s too depressing, like visiting an insane asylum or refugee camp.
Are you new around? Your handle doesn’t ring a bell.
Calvin and Hobbs, right?
Right. Specifically the beautiful demotivational poster saying “don’t throw away childish things. pass them to your children.” hence: an inherited tiger.
Also gray propaganda / sophisticated shill alert at the forum of the damned- ChrisJ over there is on the didnt love it thread but basically not being critical enough, just shadowing it into the point where darlton are really fine fellows to be commended not people to be criticised. it’s sophisticated, deliberate- and questionable in the extreme.
Also also, how the fuck are the pages equalising when 6 times as many people visit the didnt love it? How odd.
Honestly, who cares. The finale sucked. I feel vindicated. I told people that I thought they were making it up at the beginning of season two and I was scorned for not “getting it”.
If people liked it, loved it, had sex with it, found God through it, good for them. I guess. I always thought the average person had shit for brains, now I have my proof.
“If people liked it, loved it, had sex with it, found God through it, good for them. I guess. I always thought the average person had shit for brains, now I have my proof.”
Yes. I think its good for them! Let them have a gay party in the mental hospital.
Yeah I looked at a close up too. I saw the clouds and the plane fly by. They were always dead on the island for all 6 seasons.
The island was a pre-purgatory to the alt life purgatory!
Go figure!
Posted by Surfpirate on the 4815162342.com forum:
“Soooooo ….
the subtitles in the recap/replay shows that told us all season that “This shows events that would have happened if Oceanic 815 never crashed” (or something to that effect) …… was not true?
Instead the alt-events are a purgatory way station. The plane did crash. Everyone sooner or later dies and meet up in a “world you all created where you could meet and let go”.
Seriously?”
That was sometimes the best most balanced of the fan forums, and even there the glue has come unstuck.
Just saw Shawshank Redemption. If it was directed by Darlton, they would of mentioned the black stone with something burried underneath it, then never addressed it later. But if they had, then that scene where Morgan freemon opened up the box, it would of exploded like the dynamite.
Gotta go work, but I leave for now with this-
The Stand.
Came up years ago, just saw it mentioned again on 4815162342.
Man that forum is sad to visit now. All that furious thought about the numbers. Talk about backing the wrong fucking horse…
Entertainment Weekly’s Top 20 Season Finales: LOST #7 jajajajajajaja
it was the worst thing i’ve ever seen , and not just in tv.
I just died a little inside.
I just threw up inside my mouth lots!
EW was so far up Lost and JJ’s ass it’s hard to believe the postal service didn’t refuse to deliver the feces-covered things to subscribers.
Somebody said this on another site I frequent, I think this is a really practical explanation for all the script inconsistencies.
Fast Eddie S
Comment 698, posted 1 hour, 19 minutes ago – Quote and reply
The finale confirms my suspicion that LOST broke new ground by using new script writers each week. D&C wrote the first few and last few episodes, but allowed guest writers to script the shows in between. Due to security concerns, they couldn’t tell the guest writers how the show would end. Those writers told a superb story, just not the same one that D&C were telling. Perhaps the guest writers will collaborate and release their ending someday.
That would be the latest in a long line of reasons the darlton suck. Complete assclownery of olympic quality.
Wow, I would have loved to get the contract for banana deliveries to all those “guest writers.”
Even the cage cleaning bill would be pretty high.
I don’t think the guest writers live in cages. I think they live in salt-water pools.
If you keep wondering where they live, we’re going to see a scene of them coming out of another foot.
When Lost fans said Darlton didnt lie about the purgatory, I think Darlton learned from Bill Clinton for this answer.
Remember Bill said he didn’t have sex with Monica? Because Monica was only doing oral for him and he didn’t think oral equal sex.
It’s the same here. Darlton didn’t think the island a purgatory because the island is only a way to purgatory. purgatory = pre-hell, island/real life = pre-pre-hell….
What I think happen was they couldn’t believe the fans guessed it so hard so quick, so they denied the shit outta it, and shifted the entire series to make the FSW purgatory because that had always been their master ending…
The shit about the writers said by wingman makes sense…I watch alot of anime and you can tell when 2-animation teams have to draw episodes for the same arc, when Team2’s episode appears it’s a similar situation but it isn’t the same as where team 1 left off…IF Darlton just had teams of writers drafting eps at the same time with only limited information on where thing were heading you’d get alot of fan-fic randomness in between decently plotted situations…
Yes. They couldn’t believe the viewers are so smart to get the end game so fast. So, they have to change the nature of the island from real purgatory to pre-purgatory. So that they can say, repeatedly, the island is not a purgatory.
Ha! In this thread of talking we don’t hate each other!
I didn’t hate you. Sometime it is just fun to throw a bunch of f words in public website.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch only episodes 4 8 15 16 23 & 42 and somehow this would make LOST the most brilliant show ever?
btw, whats the story of ep 4,8.15.16.23 & 42?
Nah, they are NOT that clever.
Nice thought, though.
What were all those ABC websites for that had all those mysteries and back stories? What did the orangutan Joop have to do with anything?
In some you had to figure out clues to get to another web page that had some mystery or some other Lost info on it.
How much money did they spend on these sites like the Hanso Foundation one when these mysteries did not matter and never ended up in the show?
They Losties all died anyway so only the characters mattered and not the mysteries so why did they bother to make the sites in the first place?
What the?
WOW!!! Just when I thought it was doing OK, my computer decides to fuck up on me. Got the old lady on it and it seems to be doing pretty good so far. So what a fucking joke that turned out to be. I mean not only was it fucked, but it fucked the entire show up too. Funny thing, I have lived in this small town all my life almost. You would think I would know everybody, but I actually know very few people. Thing is, I don’t know one single person here that watched LO$T. Well anyways, so just what was the deal here? Some say that the plane crashed and everybody died. Others say plane crashed, and the flip side was purgatory. So does that mean that everybody has another one of themselves that was born and lives in purgatory? I really don’t get that one. Purgatory Dezzylu Who, can mind meld with real life Dezzylu Who? Your purgatory self just kind of hangs out waiting for your real life self to die, and then you get some kind of premonition from your real life self? Then your purgatory self can go to the church of the bright light, and go through the big double doors into heaven. Seems rather complicated to me. What happens if you never get the premonition? Does your purgself just go on for eternity wondering why people go in but never come back out of that church? What happens to real life dead self? Just who is to say what that bright light is? Maybe it is the light given off by the incinerator in hell. I don’t put it past these nit wits though. When just saying that the plane crashed, the island is the neither world that gives you a chance to redeem yourself and prove yourself worthy to go on and go to heaven. Oh fuck no!!! We gotta say the island is real, fucking smoke monster and all. Just so nothing makes any kind of sense what so ever to your normal average everyday human being. Especially when the other way forgives you of virtually everything you fucked up all the way through the show. Way to go…..
If Homer Simpson wrote a tv show- it would be something like LOST.
Non sequitur hour.
Non sequitur hour is exactly right. I hate LOST fans who come up with theories. A theory depends upon the assumption of cause and effect; that something in the past can have an effect on something in the future. However much the show pretended like there was something actually interesting going on, we now know for certain that it was utter random bullshit they pulled out of their asses.
In fact you have to hand it to them, they made something with utterly zero substance look mysterious and interesting for several years, and even got those of us who bitterly hated the show to continue watching it to the bitter end.
Magic goddamn tinkerbell cave. I was honestly expecting them to start clapping to make the light come back.
All Jack needed was ruby slippers.
With the skeletons at the bottom of the cave I thought they were in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
I would like to see a full hour spoof of Lost on the Simpsons show!
The Simpsons could make fun of all the things the writers left out and the sucky ending!
I know its just a tv show and most of us wont care next year or ten years from now. It makes me feel like I don’t want to watch another show like Lost with mysteries.
It’s too much to invest in a show only to be disappointed with a crap finale ending. At least with a movie you can read the reviews and if you hear it is good you can buy a ticket or get the dvd.
What was lost about It was about 91 million dollars made in advertising at the end
If Darlton did magic tricks:

What a fag.
Lost in 8 seconds

THat makes more sense.
It’s not about the story; it’s about how it’s told. That’s why I buy books on tape. I don’t care about the story. I just care about how it’s told. It’s also why I watch lots of porn.
Goddammit Matt it’s about the characters…..
Nice try man! I think porn is much better than lost. At least I never came across porn with mysteries.
Also, it is definitely about the characters, no one really care about if there is any plot.
Just got a crazy thinking, if darlton produce a porn series, what would it be?
He misses out where Jacob manipulates people into killing each other.
Total tool.
Second try.
How Lost should have ended.

That’s how it did end. Watch the chalkboard scene in the latest Simpsons episode
Jacob tried to rape me.
So now your a he whore for all eternity…..
Evil forces are conspiring to keep this site down!
By ‘Evil’ do u mean ‘Darlton’
Probably not Darlton. He’s too busy laughing his ass off and counting his money.
Their Jedi mind trick failed.
The Jedi mind screw you mean!
10. But I’d give it a higher score if I could. I’m still so shaken that I can’t even type correctly. This post alone has taken me over a minute to type.
———————————————————————————————
10/10. It was incredible, just stunning. A very satisfactory ending. It had me crying like a baby. Extra special congratulations to Matthew Fox for a fantastic performance.
———————————————————————————————
I still cant talk or write about it. 10

I cried and I cried and then I cried some more.
Now, THAT’S how to do a finale!!!
Absolutely EPIC in scale and scope.
And that’s not something I thought I would see in any modern story telling.
And not a word I would have used to describe LOST until the finale.
Darlton and crew are creative geniuses.
The answers we didn’t get, simply, Do…..Not….. Matter.
———————————————————————————————
Complete and total 10 for me. What a beautiful episode to end a wonderful series.
where the hell did u get these?
LOL. They’re a hoot aren’t they?

An obvious 10 and im happy to see most people agree. Took a while to absorb mainly due to the amount of crying I was doing but wow what a great way to bring it all together, so simple but so beautiful. Thankyou to the writers, actors and of course you fellow theorists will miss you all!

I give it 10000000! I bawled through most of it and loved every single second. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Cried like a baby. Will post something with more thought after rewatching.
God bless everyone involved in making Lost the greatest TV show of all time.

Almost 24 hours later and I’m still crying. Damn.
Did Damon and Carlton write those posts?
of course not.
“Only fools are enslaved by time and space and cry at the finale!”
This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
Yeah, and we will all meet up at the church…..
And smile at each other like dorks!
If this aint some master crafted bunch of bullshit I don’t know what is…..
Ah, but it’s sentimental, cheesy bull$shit!
They might be on abc’s or Darlton’s payroll.
Or Darlton’s sockpuppets.
It’s not about answers, or even questions, or even content, for that matter.
It’s about friends. It’s about family. It’s about LIFE. It’s about holding on. It’s about letting go.
The rationalizing behind the entire clusterfarce, epic-fail season on the part of the zealot fan base really knows no bounds. At this point it’s not even bad apologetics. It’s nonsensical talking points trickled down by the production and writing teams which are accepted blindly and totally by the “true fans.”
Here’s what happened this last season: the main characters were running around the goddamn surface of the island, at night, from points A., B., and C. Repeatedly. They may as well have filmed the whole thing on a soundstage with a few rubber plants and banana trees. The few interesting sets turned out to be pointless and the action fell totally flat: the temple, under the temple, the sub, and ultimately the ridiculous cave of light with the spring of souls or whatever.
Then you have the tangent reality. Set in LA, characters bounce around and off each other like so many pinballs. Once again, a big mess with no discernible direction or hint of a plot, concluding in a teary-eyed circle jerk reunion of random cast members in a fucking church with more religious symbols than a spiritual diversity seminar on a college campus.
Anyone who defends this last season is delusional, lost in denial, or is simply an utter moron. These “characters” were never good. They were static, they were stereotypes, they were boring. The only thing that kept the show going for all these years was the plot and intrigue and lore, all of which were raped and then shit on by the two clowns in emo glasses who call themselves writers.
But that’s right. It’s not about plot. It’s about the characters.
I agree man, if anyone like this pointless season it has to see a doctor inmediatily, because I never seen a show on tv that in so many episodes nothing happens and even worst makes no sense like for example Locke in this season he has been saying that he wants to leave the island and convincing everyone about it and to help him leave, but in the last episode suddenly he doesn’t care anymore leaving the island because for him makes more sense to sink it. Seriously What The Fuck? Are you kidding me dude?
He also seems to forget about killing everyone…to get off the Island…and what purpose did Miles really serve in the end?
“I’m bored so it explodes”
Can anyone explain why those Lostards liked the crappy finale?
They just say they liked it but no explanation.
Because we loved the cheesy island-rememberance scenes with the horrid string music.
If stories were only about the characters then in the Star Wars movies the Deathstar did not matter, nor did the robots, the force, the spaceships, the battles etc.
Then why make a space movie? Just make a story about clueless characters staring at each other for 2 hours?
i’ve got a bad feeling about this…
That’s no island.
May the “cork” be with you…
Writers…
” I find your lack of plot disturbing…”
“Hokey religions and enormous plot holes are no match for a good finale at your side, kid.”
“Lost fans seem to be made to suffer. It’s our lot in life.”
” Help the Lost finale, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you’re my only hope.”
” I felt a great disturbance amongst the Lost fans, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has to the finale!”
” Did you hear that? They screwed with the Lost finale. We’ll be destroyed for sure. This is madness.”
Obi-Wan: You don’t need to see the mysteries answered.
Stormtrooper: We don’t need to see the mysteries answered.
Obi-Wan: This is the finale you’ve been looking for.
Stormtrooper: This is the finale we’ve been looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go about his alt-verse business.
Stormtrooper: Jack can go about his alt-verse business.
Obi-Wan: Let go. Move on.
Stormtrooper: Letting go… moving on. Hey are you serious ??!!
Good one, Charlies RIng
Curse to Demon when writing the finale: “Let’s blow this thing and go home.”
Here’s an interesting article on how in retrospect Lost lived up to its full suckitude potential – religious fable, temptation of magical cop-outs or both?
The Problem With TV Time Travel—And How Lost Can Fix It
…The final season of Lost has a lot of explaining to do. What exactly is the smoke monster? Why does Richard never age? Who is this sneaky fellow pretending to be John Locke? And why is numerology so central to the plot?…
…But the biggest question of all might also be the hardest to answer: Whose explanation about the show’s time travel is right—Jack Shepard’s or John Locke’s?…
Then there’s a paragraph on how Quantum Leap famously blew it in the finale:
Then came the series finale, a mysterious episode that revealed that Sam was in control of his temporal leaps all along. And in the final scene of the show, Sam breaks all of the rules, returning to a previous leap without a host, without Al or Ziggy, to warn Al’s wife not to remarry (Al was a prisoner of war at that point in history). Sam retroactively fixes Al’s future, instantly transforming him from a womanizing mess into a contented family man. A title card reveals that Sam never made it back to his body.
For sci-fi fans, this sucked. In a single episode, Quantum Leap became pure fantasy, possibly even a religious fable about a man-turned-omnipotent-angel. But not all betrayals are so blatant.
…If Lost’s elaborate mythology can survive intact, and resist the temptations of magical cop-outs, it will set a new standard for time travel on TV. …
The article was posted on February 2, 2010. The numbnuts should have read it because they did exactly what the article warns not to do.
hxxp://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/digital/fact-vs-fiction/4344604?click=main_sr
Damon: This is not gonna change.
Carlton: No, I’m sick of lying. We made a mistake.
Damon: I have to go. My mommy is gonna be wondering where I am…
[Carlton grabs Damon]
Carlton: We were not supposed to make that turd of a finale.
Damon: Yes, we were.
[Damon releases himself]
Damon: Goodbye, Carlton.
[Damon heads for his skateboard]
Carlton: We have to re-write it, Damon.
[Damon gets on his skateboard and pushes away]
Carlton: We have to re-write it!!
[A bird flies over Carlton's head and drops a big poop]
And then Abrams comes up and tells Carlton how to re-write it?
And it still sucks…..
LOL! Good one.
If showmakers see that the LOST engineering of consent (google it) worked, this is the future of television, even after it evolves into a new medium. Mind control, emotional manipulation and the destruction of thought.
That’s why the DNS attack on this site. Canaries in the coal mine.
what DNS attack?
lol The imdb rating of Lost went down to 8.9 from 9.1 and all the fanboiss are crying. Let’s make them cry even more.
It’s 8.8 now. Males under 18 give it the highest rating at 9.4. Females under 18 give it 8.9, and the next closest rating (other than ‘aged under 18 at 9.3) is 9.0.
Little boys are so easy to manipulate.
HA!!! Yeah just ask any Catholic priest…..
Who remembers The Stand miniseries? I have to say, in the end, I liked it. It had some memorable moments and some good suspense–though it was far, far from perfect, unlike Lost which is infallibly pure and beyond criticism. Acting was pretty good for the most part. The Walking Dude was perfect with that grin.
It also had… other things.
Like the scene in the townhall where they sang the entire national anthem. All of it. And the very ending with the baby and montage of smiling faces of all the dead characters, plus heavy sentimental string music. And just when you thought the baseball bat of way-overdone-lameness was done with you, they interposed Mother Abigail’s actual face, ghost-like, into the bottom righthand corner of the screen. And the face talked.
Lost needed this kind of maudlin, so over the top “time to say goodbye” action. They should have had an additional ten minute montage of all the characters, smiling, crying, hugging, being angry. Then the actors could have signed their names across their respective close-ups, like they did in Star Trek 6. All the while Jack’s face would slowly pan in, ghost-like ala Mother Abigail, like 1980s Doctor Who opening sequence.
Music would either be extended tracks of Elton John’s “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” or Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.”
That would have made me cry and bust a nut at the same time, I think.
the only thing i hate as much as lost is Stephen King and his Crap Tower. The stand is not bad, but the miniseries… terrible acting and a very retarded screenplay.
Oh dear. A friend of mine just lent me his copy of the first book of the Crap Tower series.
Maybe he likes Lost too…
Don’t think he does.
But read it anyway, if you like plot holes and cheap endings.
Don’t just Crap Tower the book by Crap Tower the series.
ooops… don’t JUDGE
I dunno. The “lobstrosities” in what I think was the second book were pretty cool, plus it sure fucked the whole gunslinger thumbs for shooting angle. I wish I could say more but I stopped reading halfway into either the second or third book. The lobster things are about all I remember.
so… you can die in afterlife?, keamy died twice.
How many lives do you have in lost?
is this a nintendo videogame?
I know mate is ridiculous!! Also what about Mikhail that guy died twice before killing Charlie!! I never understood why was so hard to kill him. he basically suicide to kill Charlie, it was very odd!!
I’m sorry. You must be new here. We refer to him affectionately as “Patch.”
To quote Michael Moorcock, don’t be too hard on Patch. Anyone who hates Hobbits can’t be all bad.
heh.
A little less attitude and a little more Deepak Chopra from you would be in order, mister.
Keamy should have been a dentist in his “afterlife.”
Dude, wtf?
The bandwidth limit was exceeded again, brotha.

Mr. Roarke…dee plane! dee plane!
Stares,
why wasn’t the ONe-Eyed Man in heaven being forgiven with Ben and all the rest??
Because that group of people weren’t important to Patch. And he wasn’t even invited to their construct. Ultimately, Ben was affected by the 815 survivors and helped them. He was affected greatly. So affected he decided to stay in the construct longer.
Mr. Eko went to heaven real quick. He didn’t need much of a construct. He just met his brudda and they hauled ass to the next light.
Patch was affected more by butt fucking his goats, so his construct would be more goaty in its timbre. Maybe a little Pan action going on.
Plus he had it all going on with Nadia Comanecia and the rest of the soviet gymnastics team. That’s like Kate cut into 4.5 pieces with a lot of splits and balance beam moves.
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao…..
wasn’t it awesome how ben was able to change personalities in a span of 1 hour? he went from shooting old fartface to saving fat fuckhead; wasn’t it sweet?
Mikh Furious Agent of D.H.A.R.M.A. presumably isn’t dead yet. If he couldn’t be killed by what should have killed him up until the time of the hobbit culling I doubt he died afterwards.
Damn dude it’s harder to get a comment to stick on your site then it is the Pewsludge…..
I approved your comments now amigo. Like I said, I have a dedicated small core of haters.
All I’m saying? is that Tuesday night? It felt kinda empty, dude. And I’m not ashamed to say it. Cuz when we stop coming to this site, what are we going to do with our lives? What was it all for man? Do you think, that maybe, we expect way too much from broadcast TV in the first place? Every show can’t be Expose. I’m just saying. We don’t want to end up like those losers who after all these years are still complaining about FANTASTIC JOURNEY, which was also on an island. That show rocked and Roddy McDowell rocked and then they, they just ended it man. It sucked.
Yeah, well Fantasy Island at least wrapped up its magical magicness…and Giligan did finally get off the island…
Loop, dude. Loop.
BOOM
SAD
I have a bad feeling about this…
Lost is gone!
Lost is in finale limbo now…
Where all bad shows go to die!!!
Did Desmond unPlug the hole in the Gulf of Mexico, and will Jack plug it back up? And will the Black Oil turn Agent Mulder into an Alien, and did Agent Cooper become possessed by Bob at the end? When the Lone Gunmen died, were they really dead, and did Rodney MacKay really push the smoke monster out through the Stargate, or did it go into him? Are cavemen really going to build the Cylons all over again, and what the hell was with all those Egyptian symbols and statues? You know what, none of it really matters because ‘everyone dies.’ How profound. How cheap. Did Sam eventually hook up with Diane in the afterlife, and did Norm end up being the real Candidate? What about Woody, did he get off the Island? Did Lilith really end up with Sawyer in the real life, or did Sawyer go with Rebecca…you know, there’s so many plot holes in this series, that it would take a million Jack Shepherds to plug them all up…
That’s why there were holes in the island where the smoke monster could “vent.” It was planned all along, to explain the plot holes. And it’s not about plot. It’s about characters.
I really hate that explanation “It’s not about the plot is about the characters”. Do I have to be a professional producer or writer on this serie to realize that the only reason people follow this show was to see how they solve the mysteries to get the answers of the holes on these serie.
I mean really, you don’t need to be a genius to realize that!!! Common I even played that game of the website where you are the IT of Oceanic trying to find his girlfriend that I think was a flight attendance and at the end he finds out the real plane of Oceanic and the suppously location of the island, (before we can find out that the island can move) and why I played that shit for the same reason I follow this show to get answers to the mysteries like 90% of the people that watched this show, the other 10% are the losers of DarkUFO and company that love the show and ending, what bunch of useless minds.
By the way the plane they found of Oceanic on the see was a cover up of Widmore or was really the plane with their bodies since they were already dead. So Naomi told the losties the truth that they found the plane and it was them?
What about Marshall Dillon? Did he ever wind up with Miss. Kitty? I also thought it was pretty gay for Sawyer to be watching Little House on the Prairie…..
Scribner Publishing just announced they will be releasing every book referenced in LOST as a book club event. From the Holy Bible to Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5. Everything. All living authors or those holding rights to the novels have agreed to be on board. Black leather boards with reptilian embossed pattern, slipcased, DHARMA logo silver stamped on both book and slipcase. Even the graphic novle “Y: The Last Man” will be included. No dust jackets, as issued. It will be the greatest reading event in many years and will exceed the Harry Potter spike of new readers. Whether you loved or hated LOST, the books are classics and should be read by more people.
Reading is fun-da-mental brotha.
Does the include the books and comics they referenced without acknowledging? If it does, then wow, that would be a long list.
What if I can’t read? Do these books have pictures? And will they have flashbacks, like Lost did?
“reptilian embossed pattern”
I’m sorry, I meant to say alligator pattern. It’s when they indent the leather and it looks somewhat like alligator instead of cowhide. It works best when the leather is treated to shine. I’ve seen one or two books like this and they do look cool.
I was just told in an email I wasn’t supposed to mention this Scribner thing, but too too late. They shouldn’t have told me. Apparently it is something coming along after the DVD set, which is around August. Or you can pretend I never said it.
If only I fucking could.
Right dude like when sombody hits us up about it, were gonna say “some dude named Newsflash on WHY LO$T SUCKS site told me” and there going to know it was you that told us. Now that I think about it, thats kinda funny…..
It sounds like they’re all going to look like my dad’s bible.
I predict that everyone who liked the show and went on to read these books will wind up writing their own series, kind of like the bands that sprouted up after listening to The Velvet Underground.
I have heard rumors from some abc insighters that *they* are planning a sequel to Lost in 2012.
working title is ‘ Lost ’s afterlife ‘
check and see for yourself.
Fuck a doodle doo.
No shame = no limits.
And watch the forum of the damned come all over that news if true.
They are going in the wrong direction if that rumor is true. A truly redeeming move would be to concentrate on the DHARMA INITIATIVE. Explain alllllllllllllll that crap. More stations. More experiments. Do it quickly so the actors look somewhat the way they do now. Sometimes you have some OTHERS action, but mostly, a 1970s hippy sci fi ride.. And what about whoever has been dropping the resupply pallets every 8 months since 1977? Who the hell is that? Dharma in Texas?
David Lynch will direct this two year series called The Dharma Initiative and will piss me off some more.
Every episode will be in black and white and have no dialogue, with the only sounds being the original orchestra that everyone loved.
“Darmaville”
I do like that black & white idea, but would like to experiment with the soundtrack from the Munsters as the Dharmaville soundtrack.
If we do this right, we can cleanly jack into the universe of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Opening credits with classic Munster theme would show various hatches and jumpsuit action.
I demand Pat Priest has a reoccurring role.
No info anywhere. You made that shit up.
That doesn’t seem likely. I think even the ABC heavies know that LOST was running out of gas and now, after the shit sandwich that was The End, there just isn’t much appetite for a second helping. Not to say that they won’t squeeze every lots drop of milk out of the cash cow’s teat, though. 20 minutes of bonus footage here, a new director’s cut there, etc etc blah blah. And who knows, maybe after a couple years they can capitalize on nostalgia and convince J. J. “Kid Dy-no-mite” Abrams to make some sort of prequel. That I could see happening, unfortunately.
I don’t wanna boast here, but I am a motherfucking genius:

I think it will end with nothing being explained and all characters dying. Fanbois will therefore declare it the best show ever.
Great thinking!
Holy shit dude you nailed it right on the head. Goddamn I’m almost half proud of you!!! Thats a whole shitload coming from me…..
Thanks folks, but I actually expected them to die in “island verse”. And I don’t think fanbois declared it the best ending ever *because* of the “twist” of everybody dying.
Isn’t that what they are saying? Island verse = real. Flipside = purgatory. So in turn you gotta die in the island verse to get to the flipside…..
haha spot on
Yea, but later on when you said you watched SCRUBS and HEROES, you lost me…
HEROES…not even cept the cheerleader is there, but I do really care for Ali Larter (yum)…
Course I did start to like the quirky HAPPY TOWN so perhaps I speak out of hand.
Enjoy what we will, I say!
I didn’t watch the final season of Heroes as I found the one preceding it to be utter shite.
I think I only saw about half of all episodes of Scrubs. I also avoided the last season completely.
Now that NBC canceled Heroes is anyone going to watch that new show about people locked in a room and they are being watched on video?
It sounds like another Lost mysteries rip off!
It’s called – Persons Unknown
SERIES PREMIERE: Monday, June 7th 10/9c
“Pilot” – A group of seven strangers must come together to solve the puzzle of their lives.
How cool! More puzzles that won’t be answered because it doesn’t matter!
Solve a puzzle about their lives. Like a crossword puzzle or what? Sounds kind of stupid to me! WOW, that does sound like LO$T after all…..
I just hope people really commit to not watching ever again anything produced by the Darltons.
I know quite a few have done it, with the same fannish intensity that they originally employed to mentally enslave themselves to LOST.
definitely boycott Darlton
And JJ. He’s proven to be very good at starting a story, not so much at coming up with a middle or ending.
if JJ wrote a joke, it’d probably go something like…
There once was a man from Nantucket.
A priest and a Rabbi walk into a bar.
The Dr. says, “the good news is, they’re going to name a disease after you”
If you have just wasted the last 6 years of your life watching Lost, you have just been Punk’d by Damon, Carlton and JJ…
Surprise!!!
I thought this was the forum that was the most “in-touch” on the entire internet. But, it now seems like “whylostsucks” consists of the most incensed, insane, group of all after the finale… myself included. Are we the smartest or dumbest?
There’s no time for that now!
(stares off into space)
[FLASHBACK}
wwhhoooosssshhhhhhh
"Hey what're you watching? Not like you to watch TV."
"It's that show Marianne told me about. You know, LOST."
"Any good?"
"Well this is just the second proper episode after the pilot, but yeah. Yeah, I think for once there's a really good series on television. This could be something really special."
wwhhoooosssshhhhhhh
[/FLASHBACK]
Don’t tell me what I can’t watch!
I know I’m crap because my curiosity drives me to watch the finale.
I have similar questions.
So lost is finished. Why are we still bitching here? What do we want to get? To throw some shit to darlton? or we are just sorry for a potential show that turned into shit?
May be those genius out there can create a new ending for lost (at least in text)?
Actually, I thought it was a bakery.
I thought Lost was a dessert topping?
It depends on which verse you are in at the moment. Island verse or the flip side…..
Why did you put whylostsucks in quotes? Are you implying we’re not here?
Sorry Puk, I mistakenly thought I was at dark-ufo…
However, we now know that the concept of “here” is just another Lost metaphor.
Hey, let’s write an extended serial mystery TV show, full of hundreds of clues and different characters (like a PC role-playing game) and not answer any of them after six years, and millions of viewers. What do ya say?
I think I’m repeating myself…
WTF
How many drinks have you had so far? Don’t worry a little rest will fix you right up. Otherwise try the Harry Nillson cure…..
not a good deal…
You even know what Harry Nilsson’s cure is? I spelled it wrong the first time…..
I read he partied himself to death…
Yeah but I was thinking more along the lines of one of his songs…..
We are not really here. We are all in the alt world!
BOOM
LOST
Thank God this Scientology infomercial is finally over, I expected Tom Cruise holding the fucking Book of Eli when they opened that doorway of light.
We get it Scientology rocks! 6 fucking years for this pseudo religious crap. Don’t be surprised when you see Hurley eating a fucking bucket of Other’s Chicken on the special edition covers of L. Ron Hubbard’s DIANETICS.
Scientology is funny.
And not funny ha ha…
How was Lost scientological? I don’t really know much about scientology, other than their beliefs in xenu, the galactic overlord and that they try to get as much money as possible from their adherents by giving them expensive classes and getting them to work for free.
“and that they try to get as much money as possible from their adherents”
-You’re thinking of Christians.
Goddammit Pukster when you are right you are right…..
Thanks Smokie Not Locke.
Televangelists are pretty bad too.
Benny Hinn, if you haven’t heard of him you gotta check him out…..
I think Damon and Carlton would make good tv evangelists. Like some, not all, they are good con men!
Scientologists trying to get you you get that second mortgage on your house to pay for “courses.”
Or any organized religion. But from waht I heard, scientology does it more methodically and gets more money out of it. Of course scientology doesn’t only get fire from general skeptics, aheists but from established religions as well, as they fear they’re losign a share of the market to scientology, so the media are more likely to say how and why scientology sucks than why chrislam sucks.
Scientology was started by a Science fiction writer who decided it should become a religion, so not to pay taxes. It went from a ridiculous book, to a self-help franchise, to a religion. That is, after key members of the IRS were blackmailed and eventually surrendered.
It is now an insidious group that will not stop until they have your every last dollar. Children of the COS in the “Sea Org” are practically enslaved their entire lives, working long hours, separated from their parents. It’s a CULT.
The big movie stars see nothing but the pageantry, and glitter of the “Celebrity Center,” and are blind to the many abuses and worse – world wide.
I heard someone was killed aboard a Sea Org ship once or something.
OK ace, you’ve convinced me, where do I sign up?
I give up…
Because it’s stupid just the same…
Yeah but all dogmatic religions are.
It’s not a religion! It’s a god damn cult!
A cult is what a large congregation calls a small congregation that’s looking to plow into its market share.

That’s a reason now? I thought that was what those forums were for. As long as you’re defending the show ie defending the indefensible…
I can’t believe 4 people loved it on your poll dude. Now I see why you don’t have any comments under any of your articles. Nobody can make one stick. I said “well this sucks” and quit trying even…..
I have my very own team of stalkers, haters, liars and defamers so I have comments turned off.
Oh, I see. Well that kinda sucks. Cool site though, I have been checking it out the last couple of days…..
Your comments are up now.
They were kinda stupid, but I will think of something intelligent one day and maybe even surprise everybody…..
thought you should know, they mention the website in this interview haha
Have their been any interviews about fan reaction to the the disappointing finale? I have not seen anything on the news yet.
Maybe no one cares? I saw more on tv about the American Idol finale and Avatar when it first was in theaters.
dammit it wont post the link
.youtube.com/watch?v=KAH967HT6Aw
Damn this Damon! He is just BS in the interview. I didnt see how he answer our criticism in the show.
wow he even looks like a douchebag
and silly…thinking he’s a writer…
What a fucking douche this guy is, I hate him so much!!!
If Happy Days “jumped the shark” then,
LOST… (put your answer here)
No prize for the best entry!
Spun the frozen donkey wheel
Rocked the nuke.
Bit the jewel thief.
Pushed the button.
sucked.
Lost… Blew the hatch!
And the finale blew chunks!!!
Lost is in TV purgatory…
Where all dead shows go!!!
The Lost writers lied…
And the finale died !!!
Hey! They used Tiger’s phrase!
————————————–
Lostmedia:Glossary
This glossary offers quick definitions of terms and acronyms used in discussing Lost and the bad finale.
Alt
Short for alternate timeline, used to describe the flash-sideways timeline.
Lostaways
Some fans seem to have adopted this word as a designation for a dedicated fan of Lost, the equivalent of “Trekkie”. Lostaways are also known to cry during cheesy church gatherings in the alt world.
Spun the Frozen Donkey Wheel
A Lost specific term to describe the point at which a TV show goes too far and introduces a ridiculous finale all the while writing plot lines and gimmicks to try to suck people in each week. It is a term derived from the Flash Sideways – Purgatory reveal at the end of the series and the donkey wheel used in Lost to travel through time.
Walt
He used to be short and he used to matter, but “Nothing matters anymore, Jack!”
Lost went down the hatch…
and went down as the worst finale in tv history!!!
Crashed on the island
^That^
It would be awesome if, in the future, when a tv show eventually becomes preposterous, we’ll say “show x has really crashed on the island now.”
If the first 5 seasons of Lost are in TV heaven…
The finale is in hell !!!
(Even the devil won’t watch it.)
The last 3 seasons were only marginally better than the finale.
Actually, anything was better than the finale!
What other shows before Lost have jumped the shark or crashed the island?
The Sopranos?
Life on Mars?
Alias?
Post your suggestions…
It’s a shame we can’t meme the “woke up in a bamboo patch” or something. Hurley Bird would be an easy to use one too but they don’t have currency.
We have been Bamboo-zled by the ending of Lost!
they’ve said since the beginning that they try to jump the shark every episode. interview from 2008 more recent confirmation. I’ll say it again, it’s not so much that we were sold a bag of shit b/c we KNEW we were buying shit. what I hate most is that the show itself – and a nation of fans – pretends the bag of shit is the most significant intellectual/spiritual/cultural thing every created.
-.cinemablend.com/television/Lost-Executive-Producers-Actually-Answer-Some-Questions-13781.html
Hm, I didn’t know they said it since the beginning.
Moves through time and space…..
Ate the urchin.
Fought for assisted suicide.
sucks the green weenie…..
Lost gave us “hope”…
The finale has to “change” !!!
Is there anything similar to the Razzie Awards for the worst finale on tv?
How will Mad Magazine poke fun at the Lost finale? Or will they make fun of the fans who hated it?
Happy Days jumped the shark..!
and we got…
Lost in church!
Pray for a real finale!
Lost was just “smoke and mirrors”!
Yes, but there wasn’t enough smoke. I think the show would have been much better if they would have showed the smoke more then the mirrors…..
What if the smoke monster escaped to the alt verse and it was real this time and after Jack, Locke etc. got their memories back they found a way to destroy the monster?
The smoke monster almost destroyed the world, but Jack and Locke got him in the end.
Anything,but goofy smiles at a church meeting!
Why the weak, wimpy ending?
Well it is a damned site better then their shit ending. I personally would have had the smoke monster win…..
OK, late in the game, and refs a later ep than when I think LOST went to hell…
“humped the Polar Bear”
Hey, “humped” rhymes w/jumped and a polar bear is a dangerous but free animal like a shark. Sorry to spell it out but I quite like it.
Well, today i talked to an ABC internal ,and he said me once again that there will be a LOST sequel, it won’t be written by the original authors , but all the characters and location will be transported, in a prequel-style.
Episodes will be less and the entire show will last no more than 2 seasons.
Name or shame
Shame on you Lost writers!
Thanks for letting us down.
Hey gang,
haven’t posted for a while but wanted to
i have a theory of what might have happened with this show.
and this is just a POSSABILITY
let say in season 1 these guys came up with an interesting show, involving time travel, time loops, ancient wisdom coming to a doomsday world, some people “”destined” to try and save it.
abc signs on, thinks it will make them money.
flash on. the series grows, viewers get not only interested but obsessed. feels like maybe their could be anwers to life-death, reality, holographic universe…you name it. some out there dissect the show like the matrix for possible knowledge
groups above ABC get scared. people are taking this show tooooo seriously. the tell ABC to get the makers to DUMB UP the show. steer people away from where they were going OR ELSE
ABC warns makers DUMB UP THE SHOW OR ELSE
i mean we had a show leading into time loops, ancient egyptian knowledge, you name it
and we get stuck with the shit we watched in season 6. i donæt think that d and lindy are that stupid….
i get the feeling there was pressure on them to stop wehre they might be going and make it safe and stupid so the population won’t start asking questions
its as good as any theory as to how this show got SO bad by season 6
you’re assuming the show was “smart” to begin with. That’s a false premise. the show was/is/always will be pseudo intellectual. my alphabet soup analogy applies: you can stir it up and every now and then make a word, but that doesn’t mean the soup is smart.
the infinite monkey theory could also apply.
This.
yor a gewd riter like uz
That.
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Not ’scientological’ –
you mean ’scatological.’
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Indeed.
IMDB rating of Lost is now at 8.8 from 9.1 last week.
Hahahahahaha
I can smell more fanbois crying there
IMDB is a joke. Once that thing dips to 7.9 fanbois will baaawwww and zerg rush it until it is back up to 9.9
Are you into the ratings? Even rotten toamtos is all over the place (if you have never visited their site, don’t. It’s the slowest POS on the net. It’s slower than gamespot.com. It’s slower than IGN.com. It’s even slower than this piece of garbage site). For example here is a list of movies they have on their bottom 100 list
Whiteout
Glitter
Boat Trip
The New Guy
A Sound of Thunder
Date Movie
The Fog
Swept Away
The House of The Dead
Darkness
Meet the Spartans
The Whole Ten Yards
Deuces Wild
A Man Apart
Fear Dot Com
Bless the Child
These are mostly straight to DVD –note that doesn’t mean they are that bad, but some are atrocious. Meet the Spartans is absolutely the worst piece of shit in movie history. Swept Away makes one wonder if Darlton directed it b/c there is absolutely no direction in the movie. Then there is The House of the Dead, I have not seen anything in this universe that is as terrifying as this god awful movie. I’d rather get beaten with a stick that watch this. All the others on this list are oscar worthy compared to this.
Yes there are much worse talkies:
Example – ANY MADE FOR SY FY CHANNEL MOVIE ON SATURDAY NIGHTS!
tv.com is much worse than imdb or rotten tomatoes. tv.com is the real joke
- First of all DID THE WRITERS say that the island was real? yes or no? if they didn’t then go fuck yourself all the people who say it is.
————————-
here is the conversation: (with my comments)
Christian: Hey, kiddo.
Jack: Dad?
Christian: Hello Jack.
Jack: I don’t understand. You died.
Christian: Yes, I did.
Jack: Then how are you here right now?
Christian: How are you here?
Jack: I died too.
Christian: It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay, son.
Jack: I love you, Dad.
Christian: I love you too, son.
Jack: Are you real?
Christian: I sure hope so. Yeah, I’m real. You’re real. Everything that’s ever happened to you is real. All those people in the church, they’re all real too.
(He is REAL? ghosts are real? in that sense purgatory is REAL, actually according to religion OUR world is the shadow and god’s world including heaven and hell and purgatory ARE REAL – or else the light they are going into is NOT REAL.
- EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED – why not the events in the flashsideways? he didn’t say it WASN”T real, he said EVERYTHING)
Jack: They’re all- they’re all dead?
Christian: Everyone dies sometime, kiddo. Some of them before you, some long after you.
(still they look the same age Jack remembers them)
Jack: But why are they all here now?
Christian: Well there is no now here.
(pseudo religious quasi-philosophical nonsense)
Jack: Where are we, Dad?
(in the ending of the worst show ever, and why there is ‘where’ here?)
Christian: Well there is no now here.
(so lend me 1000 bucks and i’ll return it right now)
Jack: Where are we, Dad?
Christian: Well this is a place that you, that you all made together so that you could find one another. The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people. That’s why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you.
( THIS IS A PLACE – only the Church? only the FSW? maybe the whole construct including the island, wtf HERE means?. LIVES – didn’t say lives on the island, could be lives before the island-purgatory)
Jack: For what?
Christian: To remember. And let go.
(they made themselves forget so they could remember, oh dear goodness, why aren’t those writers in jail?)
Jack: Kate, she said we were leaving.
( the bitch who sucked Sawyer dick, now you’ll taste his balls in heaven everytime you kiss her)
Christian: Not leaving, no. Moving on.
(writers of “The ghost whisperer” please sue those hacks. thank you)
Jack: Where are we going?
Christian: Let’s go find out.
( He didn’t answer – what a fucking surprise)
Like I said before, vague shit.
It is the FUCKING last TEN MINUTES of the FUCKING last show in a FUCKING MYSTERY show, how about at least answering what was the island.
you decided not to answer five and half seasons of questions (which the Jonestowener fans say “few unanswered questions”…) how about saying something clear at the end you FUCKS.
peace out
yah, the part about them being important to each other implies (we’re supposed to believe) that it was on the island. as you noted, it could’ve been…. when? or where?? if it was all fake and these people were important to each other – but not on the island – why do I give a crap that they’re dead since I was never invested in their “real” (i.e. real tv) lives?!?!?!
Newhart, St. Elswhere also lead the audience to believe all that they’d seen and invested in the characters was moot b/c it was a dream (or imaginary). but those were done toungue in cheek, LOST actually took itself so seriously as to think it really was answering a metaphysical riddle! what crap…
The finale of Lost felt like a bad episode of Ghost Whisperer!
I can no longer read anything not posted in the “Didn’t Love It” thread over at fuselage. I was trying to convince a few people that the story surrounding Walt is narrative butchery, and that Lost is more than 80% plot hole. It was a complete waste of energy. Logic will not get through to these idiots.
FAN BOIS ARE EXTRA-STRENGTH DUMB.
They seriously think that Walt’s character has been appropriately resolved, and that there is a strong connection between the early show and the ending. That is god damn, mind-bogglingly absurd.
Only a fool argues with an idiot.
That said, it sure is fun to poke the bear with a stick.
Especially the retards who say “I cried and cried then I cried some more. It’s almost a week later and I still find myself crying when I picture Vincent laying down next to Jack.”
Sledgehammer meet skull.
It’s just because the materialist fans don’t have any other spiritual experience in their lives or any life of the mind. If you’ve never tasted sugar then anything sugary is a revelation. They have no standard with which to compare the revival tent of LOST to bona fide higher thought.
Thats some funny shit there!!! You can’t get through to those monkeys over there. Them fuckers are so brainwashed that they can no longer tell the difference between their head and a hole in the ground. I am surprised that you didn’t get banned from the site for arguing with them…..
Can’t believe u have the strength to debate with morons. Just like what it said in the Matrix, they are not ready to be unpluged.
I had the exact same experience on facebook. Check out this exchange. It’s like talking to a Mormon fucktard
Pukster: Darlton could fuck up a coffee.
Brent Helton :Some of you missed the whole point of the show. It’s not about the island. Yes, it takes place on the island. But the show is about the characters and how they all came together in the end. It’s also about love, forgiveness, and redemption. So therefore, it is NOT about the island or anything else. It’s about the people and the characters. LOST had a great ending and I’m truly satisfied with the greatest show in history.
Pukster: Brent I agree, the Darma Initiative, the numbers, the the pregnancy issue, the incident, the statue, the temple, the lighthouse, the lamp post, the swan, the pearl, the tempest, the ‘rules’, the looking station, the ‘light’, the bearing, the orchid, the food drop, the snowman/carrot, the book/song/philosopher references, the time travel, the moving island, the aparitions, the 0 degrees of separation, the magic healing, the hieroglyphics, the well, and the hydra station had nothing to do with the “whole point” of the show. “It’s not about the island”. It’s about the characters like Kate who puts her hands in her pockets and shuffles around, or sleeps with Sawyer then can’t make her mind up (about Sawyer or jack[ass]). It’s about Jack[ass] who smashes anything that could possibly answer questions and throws hissy fits in an attempt at character development. I guess I “missed the whole point of the show”.
Brent Helton: Pukster….All of the things you listed were a part of the show and they were used to keep the show interesting and the plot moving. But in the end, only the characters mattered. You shouldn’t have to think on it too much. It’s a pretty basic answer. Don’t focus on the other stuff so much. Focus on the characters and the people we came to care so much about on the show.
Pukster: Brent that’s fine. And if Darlton wanted to make a ‘character driven show’ they could have based it in Agrestic, or Queens, or LA. But they should not have put a ‘character driven show’ in the middle of an island with more mysteries than a Sherlock Holmes novel.
You are my hero mate!! Great come back!!
HAHA thanks. After a while I just gave up. I was up against an army of fanbois
It has to piss them off a lot that we were right all along and they had to realize the ending and show suck cock!! So, now they are to ignorant to even apologize to us and admit we were right, is much better just to say we were wrong!!
No I think they actually believe that the show was perfect. No flaws!
Wow, I hate them so much!! What a bunch of useless minds!!! although great brainwash from lost producers/writers.
Ask the moron whether he thinks Lost was a thinking man’s show. He did say “You shouldn’t have to think on it too much.”.
The show was really about purgatory all along?
No way!!!!
Oh brother, some peoples children. The show is supposed to be character driven, but the thing is,,, most of the characters sucked big time by the end of season four. Hell by the end of this shit the only character I even half assed liked was Titus Welliver. It’s just to bad they wouldn’t let him play his own part instead of Terry O’Quinn. Don’t get me wrong here. He is the only other actor on the show that I half assed liked. If the show was so much about the characters I would have never watched it in the first place. The bastards got caught up in their own game so bad they had no fucking idea how to get out of it. Every time they tried to answer something it would be so fucking lame that everybody would get in an uproar about it. And rightfully so!!! So the best bet was to answer nothing. Yet make everybody believe they were going to. The time for questions is over. To me that meant that the cocksuckers were going to explain a few things anyway. It’s not that they couldn’t. They wasn’t going to because they were afraid if they did they would have a goddamn lynch mob after there asses…..
Same here, I loved Welliver. Too bad he couldn’t play as himself.
And spot on wrt to the writing themselves into a corner. I think they blamed the viewers for not wanting answer, when they missed the whole point: we wanted GOOD answers
Well, that shows perfectly that if they were not available to give us good answers with rational and logical explanations then the show was never plan from the beginning, I just feel sorry for the fan boys that still think that the show was planned from the beginning, how stupid you have to be for not seeing that? Really? I mean your degree of stupidity has to be very high for not seeing that
Some claim answers exists in non answers!
a) They can say that it’s in the way the characters deliver their lines
b) Or they can take advantage of the fact that no answers equals no constraints, so they go buck wild with their theories (imagine a choose your own adventure book where all the pages are blank)
LO$T would have been a hell of a lot better if all the pages would have been blank…..
Lost was all in Faraday’s journal. None of it was real. He was writing a time travel novel.
I was watching Supernatural a couple days ago and That MIB dude made an appearance as War – One of the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse. I kept asking myself: Who is that guy, he looks familiar?
Turns out they snagged Jacob too, he was playing the part of Lucifer.
I know man, I watched too. Seeing Jacob as Lucifer I had to admit that was a big turn off on the series!
It really is like 1984. The fanbois are truly like the newspeakers, able to forget the past and reorder it to their masters’ liking. The fact this is now happening in this world, in the here and now, proves that the long predicted endgame of the Engineering of Consent is upon us. Fuck.
Oceania is at war with East Asia.
Oceania has always been at war with East Asia.
Eurasia is our ally.
Eurasia has always been our ally.
LOL
Oceanic is at war with Ajira.
Oceanic has always been at war with Ajira.
Lepidus is our ally.
Lepidus has always been our ally.
Haha, why didN’t I not think of that.
Ben has always been our ally. Jacob has always been our benefactor.
Jackass has never been a whiny bitch.
Good work Pukster.
All that shit was just there to “keep the show interesting.” Man, there are some fuck-up people out there…
95% of the viewers hate parts of Lost, one or more seasons or the series finale.
The other 5% will watch anything and cry at the ending!
After knowing about the finale if you go back and watch all the flash sideways it feels creepy.
Why did the writers screw with our heads like that? Why?
So who was the old lady Eloise supposed to be in the end?
She was a composit of the the three women in A WRINKLE IN TIME.
Whidmore’s wife,,,,,
Eloise knew the future because she read Faraday’s notebook after killing him when he traveled back in time to 1977.
After she left the Island she must have studied it and then worked the Lamp Post Dharma station in L.A., post-purge.
The show went off the rails with time-travel, IMO, but they could have righted things with more Dharma/Others backstory in S6 instead of Jacob/MiB.
We’re not ready to know that yet.
Mother Time?
Some old whore?
My vote: you win…..
I love it when you agree with me!
Here is some meta shit.
Die = diehard fan
- you died for NOTHING.
Meaning: Smokey is US (no wonder we like him here), who tell the die hard fans that they watched it for nothing.
- Jack: they are all dead
meaning: all the other fans here at the ending?
….Well this is a place that you, that you all made together so that you could find one another
meaning: your stupid fucking theories are only in you mind – you created them, and you should cherish the time you’ve seen our stupid meaningless show. because the theories are REAL (even though they are not), and of course watching our show was the most important time of your miserable lives.
META
BOOM
Oh, “you” just aint dumb enough to get this stupid fucking show!!!!!
Class, today’s word is “purgatorial.”
Beaver, sit up straight.
Since the the smoke monster is out of work is it true that he is taking over for Simon Cowell?
Guess I’ll go hang out at the Steorn website.
Where’s the voting button for “Emotionally shattered and unbelievable moved”? LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOVED IT.
——————————————————————–
count me in, i loved it. it was a great resolution to a 6 year journey. thank you LOST
——————————————————————–
Loved it! Brought tears to my eyes
——————————————————————–
Not gonna lie…I totally cried my eyes out :’(
It was so emotional the whole way through…particularly all the alternate timeline reuninions…Sawyer and Juliet…! “I got you baby” I mean come on…!
——————————————————————–
I watched the finale again last night and cried through it again. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to watch it without tears!
——————————————————————–
The End was awesome, bodacious, emotional, exciting, fabulous! Thanks so much for giving us LOST. Just thinking about The End brings fresh tears to my eyes!
——————————————————————–
My dog hasn’t left my side since I started crying watching the finale. Isn’t he the most precious thing? It’s like I have my very own Vincent, offering his company to help me through
——————————————————————–
Loved it…cried.. gonna watch it again and cry some more…
——————————————————————–
I was crying like a baby. I loved the end…my logical mind might quibble, but I felt so happy that these characters that I love found their happiness. I felt like it was a gift for them and for us. I wanted them to be happy and to find their answers, even if we couldn’t really know all the answers.
——————————————————————–
LOVED it. I cried and laughed. I cried like a baby.. as i watched the minutes I could only remember the first minutes of the pilot. my heart raced and the tears fell.
thank you for giving us the best tv ever
——————————————————————–
I have been tearing up all day long. I have flashes of the flashes and I become all choked up. I could not have scripted a more perfect ending for these characters I have come to know and love. Damon and Carlton you hit it out of the park.
——————————————————————–
Puke…
What do the cattle think as they hear the music on the abattoir ramp?
Now we now.
Drink the KoolAid. Let Go.
I’m blowin chunks as we speak. Holy jumping Jesus Christ alnighty sakes alive!!!!! If that aint the biggest bunch of fucking horse shit I have ever heard in my whole fucking life!!! Then I don’t know what is…..
good god almighty… how fucking pathetic and absolutely lacking in intelligence and emotional depth to cry from that. that’s like tearing up after a laundry detergent commercial.
could not muster….strength………. to read….
I cried like a little girl – great job LOST!
You ARE a little girl…..
Why would anyone cry after a weak season 6 and a weak a$$ finale?
What a bunch of useless minds!!! I hate them so much!!
What a farce. Character story my ass. The only likable character was the smoke monster, the rest just horse shit stereotypes and one dimensional garbage that would get you an F on an intro to screenwriting class at a community college. The real ending is Darlton and ABC fucking faggot fanboys and the rest of the morons who like that crap by having them buy more dvds, blue ray discs, etc. Thats what this was all about. Somewhere George Lucas is laughing his ass off because by comparison the prequels now look like citizen kane.
Use the force, Jack!!!
Hve you seen the cover of s6 dvd? It is black and white. These guys are so smart..you know, evil and good…
Collected box set: “mysteries revealed”.
ORLY?
MGIC!
Well I am still a firm believer that the show was initially stolen. That dudes outline gave them enough information to last probably 30 episodes, that they were able to stretch out into a little better tha two seasons. From there they were on their own and we can see the show take a dive from then on. I never watched the pilot until last Saturday. I didn’t start watching the show untill the episode, Walkabout. Then it was just by chance. I had got a virus on my computer, which is in the bedroom. So I was fucking around on the old lady’s computer, which is in the front room, and it happened to come on. Not being much of a TV person, I wasn’t even paying no attention to it but I kept on hearing this fucker saying “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” I swiveled around in the chair to see what the hell was going on, and I took a slight interest from there. So when I heard that they were going to show the pilot last Saturday I thought, OK we will see how this shitfest started. I wish I would have seen it first, because I tell you what, if I would have I would of never watched the show. It was slower then shit and it seemed like Jackass was just running around in circles. So much so I could have swore I seen him and another him in the same scene, I blew it off thinking I was being to critical. I asked the old lady if she saw him in the back ground there but the scene switched before she got a good look. So maybe I am crazy after all. Hell that aint nothing new!!! Usually the producers will keep a hold on their shows and thats why sometimes you will see a show jump to another network. But LO$T belongs to ABC, so don’t be to surprised to see a spin off or something like it in the future. If they do though, you know as well as I do, that if ABC does it, then it will do nothing but wreak of suckfest through and through…..
WOW I cannot believe this fuckers!!! God it was all a fucking marketing strategy so they can sell the DVD set, what a bunch of fuckers!!!
I got this article from a spanish newspaper take a look:
Good news for fans of Lost. For those who thought the final chapter its creators had no more story to tell, they are coming to know that another 12 or 14 minutes of the series as an epilogue, which recounts the experiences of Ben and Hurley as protectors of the island after the last episode.
It was Michael Emerson himself, actor who plays Benjamin Linus, who in an interview said that there is an epilogue for the series to be included in the special edition DVD and Blu-ray Lost: The complete collection which goes on sale this summer, expected on 24 August.
‘For those people who will buy the entire series of Lost is a novelty that could be termed as an epilogue, the scene lost, “said the presenter of Attack for the show. “They’re like 12 or 14 minute window to open a gap of unknown time this happens since Hurley becomes the number one and number two, and Ben in the final sequence of all the characters in the church,” he said.
What a bunch of Motherfuckers!!!! All this crap to make more money!!!
But, still it says that is an epilogue of Hurley and Ben on the island, basically how Hurley got them all together on the Alt-Universe, but, they still don’t say shit about giving answers that the fan want!!!!
God!! I hate them so much!!
no es bueno
Yo quiero Taco Bell…!
wait, what the fuck happens to desmond?
like anybody cares about watching fatty order around ben…maybe a romance develops…
Desmond stays on on the island letting a love triangle happen between Hurley, Ben and him.
How did Desmond get home?
Why did they all go back? If they died in LA after they became the Oceanic 6 they still would have gone to purgatory central right?
I’m holding out for the 3D set – it will have 7 additional minutes of the Hurley bird side story.
It started better than ABC and went worse than TNT.
Lost’s message: “Kill yourself. Do not worry about life in the here and now, you’re going to get a Mulligan in the ‘afterlife.’”
This is why Desmond was so catatonic and nonchalant after being fried in Widmore’s machine.
It’s why he didn’t feel threatened by SmokeLocke when they were having their little tete-a-tete at the well.
It’s how he convinced Sayid to get him out of the well (there’s a paradox in that, guess what it is).
Island Desmond had a near-death experience in that giant magnet and saw what we now know to be the afterlife.
Incredible.
The show is no more profound than the philosophy of suicide death cults (aka most religions).
Yet 5 billion or so people alive today have fallen for religion. But then, most of those people are introduced to religion in early childhood, while Lost fans were introduced to it in their teens or adulthood.
What’s the paradox in the Sayid Desmond encounter at the well? That Desmond knows Sayid will see Shannon rather than Nadia? Or that he knows it’s not a big deal if he does die and therefore Nadia wouldn’t make a big deal out of it either?
Namaste!
If Desmond was not dead on the island yet how could he see the alt verse?
The Wire was a good show, The Wire deserved all the attention Lost received. Intelligent, actual smart people thought The Wire was the best television T.V. series ever made and no one believed them, but they were right.
But what do people make successful? Lost. A piece of shit show two fucking money making creeps that form one big retarded entity, Darlton, created just to make money along with ABC. Oh, they will probably make some follow up series called “The Dharma mystery show starring Cheech Marin”, but fuck em, fuck em all, fuck ABC, fuck Darlton. Fuck em to hell.
Carnivale, all two seasons of it. Discuss.
Carnivale > LOST
because
having coherent overarching plot that you stick to > milking random shite for dollars
which is why
LOST: 6 seasons
Carinvale: begrudged 2 seasons
Television is the drug of the nations not their liberation. So anything that is going to awaken people is stifled and anything that enslaves is promoted.
Ignorance is strength.
Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
1984?
1984
Funny thing about the end of carnivale is that it ultimately was a better, wrapped up ending than the travesty that was lost, and the series was aborted before their final planned season.
I loved the Babylon episode. And the Jonesy tar and feathering episode where he gets his leg back, christ, talk about proper story and character development. Not to mention suspense.
Would have been great to have seen what the deal was with Lodz and the false sun over trinity and the merging of the two dualities.
Fuck lost, ugh
I am hereby creating a place for us to meet in August. Well, I’m really not, it’s all in my mind as a website that T built, but let’s say I am, in case we forget, so we can remember each other and find each other so we can move on.
When the LOST DVD set is released… I’ll cut my neck a little and it will go from there. (It will be difficult to not completely slit my throat, but…) This place is sort of like a church, or it COULD be if some multi denominational mult cultural stained glass was put in the graphic header.
Anyway, we all meet here when the DVD set is released and “discuss” the additional “epilogue.” Agreed?
You know the PhanBoyz are going to worship the extra minutes and we can’t let that shit stand.
Oh! And NO babies allowed! It’s too fucking confusing.
See ya in August.
It’s been sweet.
If this site has sunk by then, we can also meet at Hank Scorpio’s forum: lostsucks.proboards.com/
That would mean we would have to buy the DVD, which I can assure you , I will NOT!
Screw me once for free thats one thing, but I’m not paying to be screwed.
And thats the truth…..
Does anyone care about Jacob or MIB after the finale? I don’t.
What was the point? They all could have died in season 2 if no one entered the numbers and pushed the button. All this before they even met Jacob and MIB and they still would have ended up in purgatory!
BOOM
LOST
Don’t forget about the Lo$t Christmas Special. A direct to dvd video release!
$$$$
I think people are running out of things to say?
And Lost still sucks.
Musing on some almost discarded thoughts, I can truthfully say that I am extremely glad this show wasn’t shot in Vancouver like almost every piece of unsatisfying crap on TV and Cable.
While not in Vancouver, BC is good w/me too (keep jobs in the U.S. please) I am sick of all shows being (semi) centered in LAX. Like 8 seasons of “24″ where somehow every terrorist attack / massive conspiracy happens in L.A. where all the presidents in the 8 seasons seem to spend a lot of time.
Yes, LOST was mostly in Hawaii but that’s pretty much forced by the original S1 producers choosing to buy an entire retired 767 (DVD S1 “Extras” for details) to be “The Island” – which again, hey, good, keep jobs in a U.S. state. But since everyone was flying to and “based” (or lived in, I guess) in L.A. meant more and more stuff shot in L.A. (cheaper than Hawaii…) about… halfway thru S2 but always in the flash-back/forwards/”sideways”…
I miss when shows were 20-ish episodes / year and were often filmed in the location(s) where the show actually took place. Of course, that was the ’70’s when I was a small kid (hey, Hawaii-5-0, another one of J.J.’s B.S. “reboots”, was filmed there back in the day….)
Yeah, sorry, rambling. Trying to read 5000+ posts to see if anyone has answers to my 10,000 questions about LOST’s stupid plot, then post the questions I still have lingering….
BOOM
WASTE
I said I was moving on and I still am.
I was never emotionally invested in this show. But from time to time I would visit forums and found elaborate theories. One of them had to do with several time iteration loops. That was a lot of work and then entirely blown away.
There were those related to the “numbers machine”, and why they were the same numbers on Hurley’s lottery ticket.
After having read some of them, I determined that it wouldn’t matter what it ended up actually being, there was going to be strong disappointment among large groups of viewers. When I saw how adamant it was that people needed to be right about what they thought, it was a disaster waiting to happen.
This was an indication that they had too many mysteries that were being drawn out for too long a period.
It continues even now that they revealed that Jack was dead. Two factions exist, one being that he was dead in the first scene, the other that he died at the hand of smokie. In the former, all the details hardly matter. And in the latter, a lot of sci-fi was going on and the detail mattered more. But in both cases they just don’t explained much in the way in detail, and indeed end up abandoning multitudes of plot lines.
There are lots of clues that he was dead right away. However, they also interject doubt, such as the jet that leaves the island at the end, which was a plot device which also conveniently served as a purpose of saving favorite characters.
This also allowed for the cop out that they didn’t have to choose who Kate would pair up with. They could have it both ways, with Kate+Jack at the church, and Kate+Sawyer in the plane.
Rather than get into these details, what I mean to say is that much of the show was left indeterminate by design. I believe in letting some of a story up to imagination. But to allow arguments about show details to go to such a high level, and then not resolve them…
I am pretty sure that the writers are using the viewer bantering to their advantage. From a marketing perspective it is free publicity. But I think the writers get off on all the attention. They were/are probably laughing their asses off reading all the fighting and are helping to incite more of it.
Frankly I don’t care much for the answers anymore. Whatever they do now won’t be satisfying. To think that this “additional 20 minutes” will explain everything is impossible. I rather think of the number 1, and number 2, dialog had to do with throwing excrement on the audience. But if they were implying that the island was like ‘the village” of the prisoner, it was very much a slap in the face to that show.
Monkeys throw feces. Are you calling the writers a bunch of monkeys? Or maybe they got real monkeys to write the finale?
I think the quote is: Given enough monkey’s in front of enough typewriters and given enough time, eventually they will type the works of Shakespeare.
But for that they should be able to type a half way decent Lost script.
But way long before that, almost right away, they will start throwing their own number 2.
The powers that be had to make a choice based on how long this was going to take. I don’t have to explain what choice they ended up making.
Lost sunk the island and the finale!
Serious question:
Why do I truly love “The Prisoner” but not LOST?
Is it that “The Prisoner” was originally meant to be only 7 episodes (U.K. shows that aren’t soaps like “Coronation St.” rarely run more than 10-12 episodes/year) but was hacked out over a long weekend to 17 shows so it could be sold in the U.S. – which is where it was bought and only why it aired (look it up online – lots of Prisoner sites.)
Was it that The Prisoner set up “mysteries” which they made clear from the start would have no answers?
Is it because I really like Roger McGoohan as tge main writer & actor & general weirdo but I think Demon and Cruse, neither of which came up w/the original concept, are, respectively, a smug dickhead and a Hollywood shill, both being awful writers with massive egos?
I could go on. But I cannot figure out why I love “The Prisoner” but hate LOST. If only LOST let me watch it with friends and try to come up with ideas?
I suddenly had a thought about why I like The Prisoner but hate LOST…
The Prisoners is really trippy and truly weird in a really weird way, with a “weird in real life” single main actor.
the die-hard fans of Lost are like the die-hard fans of Star Wars, even after they’ve been handed a pile of shit a la ‘phantom menace’ they still call it genius. Or how about that new Star Trek movie and stupid it was, the gushers for ‘Star Trek XI’ will attack anyone for ‘not liking’ their idiotic remake. (J.J.Abrams has his hand in that ‘hole’ as well). Some people simply want there to be meaning and mysticism when there is none there to be had. (Emphasis on ‘being had.’) The problem with the finale is that it wears off quick, all the sentimental bullshit, and great performances by actors ends up being meaningless, it doesn’t leave you ‘thinking’ about the ‘meaning’ of the plot of Lost, it leaves you wondering ‘wtf?’ There WERE good ideas in LOST, but they’re all empty thoughts which lead nowhere as much as the plot, because they were more interested in making cliffhanger endings to episodes than coming up with explainations. LOST is a lot of bullshit. Star Wars is a lot of bullshit. The New Star Trek is a lot of bullshit with plot holes all over the place, black holes, light hole, and assholes…J.J.Abrams and his club of morons.
But there is one fact that should be more disturbing than the end/non-end of LOST, and that is that PEOPLE out there want this kind of shit. They want more ‘phantom menace,’ they want more ‘Avatar’ and ‘Transformers 3.’ They are all the same in every forum, a paranoid mob, like Tea Baggers spouting all kings of Palin-esque bullshit about this crap that gets them off. Like Scientologists or followers of Jim Jones, they’ll drink the magic ‘wine,’ the kool-aid and form Jedi religions, and put on blue face paint and form Naavi tribes…they’re idiots the whole world over, and THEY are the majority.
We will get more of this same shit, whether its made by ABRAMS or the ‘two cunts’ or George Lucas or James Cameron. Because its what the degenerate masses want.
The Phantom Menace Suck Cock but, not as much as Lost ending, I think is the biggest shit I saw in years!!! Really piss me off this JJ Abrams and company, they know that the ending was shit but, they still tried to sell it like it was the best shit on tv ever. It is ridiculous!!! I hate them so much!!!
You forgot to mention how the JEWS all run Hollywood…
fuck Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh
and Glen Beck.
And the finale!
and fuck Rodney for ruining a perfectly good LOST bash with his Palin-hating, partisan bullshit.
Me and my two best friends hate LOST and we’re all right wingers. All the people I know who love LOST voted for Barack Obama (and hate Sarah Palin) so go fuck yourself.
“Persons Unknown” from NBC. The New Lost – Heroes – Jericho disappointment?
Dude, you rock. I’m glad I’m not the only person in the world who thought the JJ Abram’s “Star Trek” movie sucked in a million ways. Kudos dude.
I guess every year there has to be a ‘phantom menace’ of some sort.
Well I don’t know about anybody else but I feel that not getting to see the smoke monster in the finale was nothing but a huge let down. For me it was anyway. I guess the reason for this is because those asswipes spent the fucking CGI budget for the cave with the butt plug in it. What a fucking ripoff. How come the smokie black cloud couldn’t win? Oh hells no!!! Can’t let that happen. Might give kids the wrong impression. I mean come on, once they were had by the fanbois with the purgatory shit, the sky was the limit. Not gonna happen with these two fucktards, that have no fucking idea what an imagination even is. “Oh no Darlton, they are on to us and we only got five years to think up something else.” Yet the lame bastards still couldn’t do it. I don’t want to say that Smokie was the bad guy. Because in my mind he wasn’t the bad guy. Just because he wore black clothing didn’t make him bad. Fucking Jacob was the bad guy. His lists to grab up all the children. Bringing people to the island against there will. Having all the Dharma people killed. You can’t say he didn’t do that because it happened on his watch, by the people that were working for him!!! Thats just the tip of the iceberg I’m sure. So who is the bad guy now? When Dezzylu Who pulled the the butt plug out of that stinking hole, I took it that Smokie lost all of his abilities. So why not just let him go? For a character driven show it sure didn’t show much character. Plus that would have been a better ending for the island, I think anyways. No no, these unimaginative pieces of shit are going to make a sideways universe thats purgatory. Insted of having to think up something else. Idiot is as idiot does I guess…..
This was a show of LOST opportunities
That show was “Lost in translation” !
I’m probably not the average WLS posters. I streamed most of the show between the fifth and sixth seasons, so it was easier to overlook the bad and appreciate the good. There was a sense of progress and impending resolution that weekly viewers may not have had. So I went into the sixth season really believing that they could wrap it all up and deliver it.
This faith was sorely tested by the sixth season. Half of every episode was wasted on the alternate universe that rehashed old character arcs that had been definitively settled in the main universe. The temple arc wasted the remainder of the first half of the season. More and more magical thinking was introduced, but I really didn’t mind: the characters who believed in magic were ancient, superstitious zealots; surely our heroes will overcome this and break the cycle?
Then I saw The End. Boo-oo-ooring action sequences, characters acting without any real motivation, every ethical or philosophical question in the show settled with a fist fight and a gun shot. But maybe the alternate universe would deliver. Maybe they’d say something clever about history, or choices, or consciousness…
Nope. They were dead all along. And they were just progressing–climbing a ladder, if you will–into “the light.” Which is inside an interfaith chapel, with symbols of ALL religions. Well, SIX religions, but that’s all we had room for on the window. Real deep. The disembodied Thetans and the geothermal vent made me think these guys were scientologists; now maybe I think they’re proselytizing for the Unitarian Universalists.
I think I hate this series now. I hate how it settled the science and faith dichotomy by killing all the scientists and turning our hero into the paragon of unthinking faith and blind, unquestioning obedience. I hate how the object of faith and obedience was a petty, tyrannical dictator living under a foot of a dead mythology but we were supposed to root for him because he wore a white shirt. I hate how none of the mysteries matter because it was all about the characters, but most of the character arcs ran out of steam around season 2, and they freely redefined or killed them off as their skeleton of a plot required.
I hate how excited I was by this show, and how much I found to appreciate in the first five seasons, and how I recommended it to so many people, only for it to become unadulterated shit and nonsense in the end. And for all you who thought the show always was shit and nonsense: I got nothing. Maybe you were right.
It definitely really forced the “I never believed in God when I was alive” – “well tough luck dickhead, he’s real.” ending. Would have been better not to show it at all. From all mysteries to no mysteries (can’t count plot holes as mysteries).
I’ve got nothing against religious or fantastic storytelling. Some of my favorite books rely heavily on these elements. But they work, when they work, because they establish some kind of rules and a cause-effect relationship. Lost didn’t have that. It had no rules for how its afterlife was created, how it functioned, or how people left it to embrace the demo-friendly Light. It wasn’t a consequence of anything in the main story. It was a completely unconnected coda badly in need of a rewrite.
Nor were there any rules for how the magic ash worked (or didn’t work, e.g. Dogen’s death), how the magic mirror worked, how the Numbers were assigned to the last five surviving candidates, how the Rules were enforced, etc. If Lost was a fantasy, it was a very bad fantasy.
A guy drew a parody of the showrunner’s bible, I put it up on my blog. Note the constant use of wizards. That is LOST in a nutshell.
A fucking wizard did it, the end.
Mad.
“Wizard” comes from the ME word for “wise.” Jacob wasn’t wise, he was a retard. His entire plan was to collect other retards from around the world and find one even stupider than him.
I mean no offense to those born with mental disabilities or their loved ones.
I mean a great deal of offense to Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindeloff.
Been reading the Fuselage. Interesting place. I learned that explaining the mysteries of the island that Darlton spent five years setting up would have been cheap and I’m a moron for wanting that, but explaining the mystery of the afterlife was brilliant and I should be meditating more on their deep, spiritual insights.
HAHAHA!!! Thats beautiful man. I haven’t been to the pewsludge yet. so when I finally do I can tell it will be a circle jerk of stupidity all over the place…..
I haven’t seen this many fat hairy TV-addicted slobs circle jerking each other since my fraternity days. There are a few glimmers of rationality on the Slage, but the fanboys always respond with one of the following:
1. You’re a man of science, not a man of faith! This is a show about faith! (”Faith” to these people means “do what the psycho under the foot says without asking any questions, even if you know he’s a mass murderer and condoned the kidnap and enslavement of your friends.”)
2. X is irrelevant/the story wasn’t about X. (Usually applied to Walt, the Others, Widmore’s organization, time travel, Dharma, or anything else the series was clearly about in seasons 1-5.)
3. LOST=LIFE. You don’t get all the answers in LIFE, man, how can you expect them from LOST?
And half the negative posts have great big ***MOD EDITS*** on them for “rudeness to VIPs.” I guess they have VIP forums where the actors’ publicists post once in a while? Can’t let the publicist wander into a negative thread and decide to stop doing their job, oh no.
The Fuselage, or as I now call it the forum of the damned, shows us what is wrong with our culture in the West.
I would neither expect nor wish for everyone to be the same religion, same viewpoint etc. but this is the Obama era writ large. Freedom of speech is the freedom to lie and defame, freedom of expression means the freedom to give up and enslave oneself to the viewpoint of another, and instead of the spirituality and intellectual rigor of the founders we have scientism rather science. Cargo cult magical thinking. LOST indeed.
I have to agree with you. It seems that there is no originality what so ever anymore. No free thinking. No use of ones own imagination. I guess people just can’t think for themselves any more. I mean just look at all the movies coming out anymore. They are all remakes of an original movie. Half the music are remakes of old songs. I can’t hardly believe I listen to modern music at my age. My kids who are in there twentys cant believe it either. I mean I still like the oldies an all, but I want to listen to something original too. I don’t know but it seems like there are so many out there that are passive brainwashed individuals that it’s just plain scary. The fucking government is stealing more and nore of our rights everyday and people just turn a blind eye to it. So any more when I here somebody talking about how free we are I always add, “yeah, free to do as the tell us to”…..
Films are either remakes, or based on comic books.

So that scene where Locke told Jack int hat letter “I wish you had believed me”. Should we add it to the pile of plot elements that seemed to matter, but turned out never mattered at all?
It mattered from a character development POV. Locke was a vindictive bitch who wanted his death to inspire guilt in Jack, who by that point was already a suicidal addict. It’s what pushed Jack over the edge and drove him to return to the island, or “purgatory,” metaphorically killing himself.
New Rule, anybody that says ‘character development’ on this site, will get punched in the face
Season 1 Kate: Annoying indecisive bitch
Season 6 Kate: Annoying indecisive bitch
Season 1 Jack: Whiny loser cunt
Season 6 Jack: Whiny loser cunt
Season 1 Hurley: Fat underachiever
Season 6 Hurley: Fat underachiever
Season 1 Locke: Psycho Lunatic
Season 6 Locke: Psycho Lunatic
Season 1 Sawyer: International Playboy
Season 6 Sawyer: International Playboy
You know the worst part of that is that it’s the truth. It’s all about the stupid, dumbass characters but there is NO character development what so ever. Hell I think a couple of third graders could write in better character development then these ass clowns did…..
ya the characters are more one dimensional than Zach Braff’s character on Scrubs. Nothing changes. Jack kept fucking everything up until the end. The X-Files had character development spanning across god knows how many seasons. Darlton seem to think that if one of their gay ass homo characters cries in one scene, that constitutes character development.
Deus Ex Pede,
can you link us a reply of a fanbois who says “you’re a man of science, not a man of faith!”?
It wasn’t an exact quote, but the sentiment is there. I think I saw it more or less verbatim on another forum (which shall remain nameless). On said forum, fanboys defended the show by declaring themselves persons of faith “like Locke,” believers in spirituality, etc.
On the Slage there’s a right-brain/left-brain thread, which I guess is Man of Science vs. Man of Art, or something like that. Even though the guy that started the thread is actually talking about male brains vs. female brains. Oh well, as long as there’s some kind of duality, we’re all good, right? White/black, faith/science, John/Jack. It doesn’t matter what any of these concepts actually MEAN, just as long as we have opposing pairs.
If the numbers never mattered why did the writers like to put them in almost every show?
They wanted us to find them in easter eggs like in Hurley’s car. All that for nothing? Just to be smart a$$es?
Fool us once Lost writers. Never again.
They are making a remake of Lost already. It’s called:
It’s Purgatory Stupid!
What was the significance of the song, Catch a Falling Star?
It was played a few times in the series like it was going to mean something in the end?
Stupid writers!
I thought the Easter Eggs and cult references were one of the few things that were good about this show.
If you’re going to go w/numbers, yeah, make them show up everywhere… it’s fun and sometimes even funny.
Like in “Walkabout” in S1 before it went to shit – when Locke’s manager asks him to finish and submit his “TPS Reports” (hopefully everyone here gets that joke.)
The attempted, sometimes failed, some times decent “jokes” were to me, about the only decent thing about this crapfast show.
BOOM
OFFICE SPACE
Less than a week after Lost’s goofy finale and it’s re-aired with re-caps so as to explain itself to us dipshits who just don’t get all the story’s intricacies.
This show is the only one i’m aware of that had to explain each previous weeks episode with a re-capped re-airing of it before every new episode every week. And still it never made any coherent sense and was all bad, convoluted confusion.
But here in a few i’m looking forward to again witnessing Jack and Smokeylocke’s epic smackdown, before the heart-wrenching, thought-provoking climax, while they spoon-feed me exactly what the hell’s going on the whole time at the bottom of my screen.
Shit! The 747’s taking off from the sandy beach. Gotta GO!
Funny thing is, the recaps weren’t written by anyone involved with the show, and they got a lot of stuff wrong. The entire nature of the flash-sideways, for one. ABC only aired them when they didn’t have enough reality programming and overproduced navel-staring contests to fill the 8-o’-clock slot, anyway.
Hence the actual closed captions for the now legendary flash sideways: “What would have happened if 815 didn’t crash.”
Awesome.
The irony is that this is the only show where the recaps completely contradict the next episode
The thing is with LO$T it didn’t need the captions to be contradictory. The next episode did it anyway…..
My review for Lost’s series finale
. . . Fuck Lost.
END
Lost is a big steaming pile of Vincent’s dog $hit!
Nothing matters, Jack…! Let go…! Move on…! Cop out !!!
I still can’t for the life of me figure out why they chose the path they decided to go down. Of course this is not the first time I have pondered this thought with this show. I have wondered this many times. I don’t understand the attitude of these egotistical bastards. Instead of just saying that the island was like a neither world or something like that. A place where you can try and redeem your salvation. A place where you can prove yourself worthy or even not. So you can cross over to the other side. What ever place that may be. I will use heaven or hell for example. Just having everybody die when the plane crashed, and this was the story of Jackass proving himself. So he could redeem his salvation to cross over in to heaven. Now with the island being this redemption center or neither world they wouldn’t have to explain anything. Whats the deal with the hatches and the rules? It was the neither world!!! Anything can happen in the neither world……….BOOM……….LO$T……….Bad Robot but doesn’t say nothing. It was that easy!!! Oh, but then that means a whole bunch of fans would have been right clear back at the beginning of the show. We can’t have that because then they will say we were liars. Well so what!!! You say that you had to lie in order to keep the show going. You fans your pretty smart we are sorry about lying, but we had to for the sake of the show. It’s just that easy!!! Not with these dick weeds you don’t. Fuck no. Just so you fuckers weren’t right we are going to contrive this stupid idiotic sidways bullshit, and have it be purgatory. Or whatever. Were going to say the island is real even with all its electromonstorical, glowing glory hole, time traveling, disappearing, inane, comvoluted, stupid shit aint nobody can understand bullshit. Just so all them people can’t be right when really they were. In my mind that’s the most asinine thing they could have ever done. I mean holy jumpin Jesus Christ sakes almighty alive, just how fucking egomaniacal could these fucktards possibly be…..
Well, they think “Lost opened the gates for science fiction on network television.” Evidently they forgot about Quantum Leap on NBC; Lois & Clark on ABC; Alien Nation, Sliders, the X-Files, and several other shows on Fox. How the creators of Lost can forget their debt to the X-Files is a mystery even Mulder & Scully couldn’t solve.
Hell, if you want to talk about who REALLY opened the gates to network sci fi, look at Star Trek and the Twilight Zone. These guys think they’re as important to television history as Gene Roddenberry and Rod Serling. That’s how fucking egomaniacal these fucktards could possibly be.
“Lindelof: I’m on the hook to write the ‘Star Trek’ sequel and produce it again.” Oh, God.
If Daman, Cuse, or JJ direct a motion picture version of The Prisoner, I’m going to put a shiny bullet in my head.
Oh fuck yes. These guys must never get anywhere near it. For serious.
When they started talking about Hugo being #1 and Ben being a great #2, I was thinking, “oh, shit, that’s too close for comfort.”
As far as I could tell, I didn’t hear them mention “#6″ …
WHy not their head?
Makes a whole hell of a lot more sense to me…..
NBC is going to do their own version of The Prisoner with a group of prisoners in one room/house – wherever it takes place. It’s called Persons Unknown.
If Damon or Carlton had any hand in it I won’t be watching!
Well JJ Abrams has his hands all over it. So you know what that means? It’s gonna suck big time…..
Get ready for some big time series/finale sucking!
I personally think the fuckers ought to be thrown in jail with the general population. For at least 15 to 20!!! If for nothing else, have it for waisting the last six or so years of our lives…..
Sliders was an awesome show. I loved the sci fi aspect to it.
It was alright I guess. Never watched the whole series.
I didn’t much like it’s political aspect. Every time they came to a world in which the USA were somehow different, they tried to make it more like their own.
One time the country was Spanish-speaking and therefore not God’s Own Cuntry And The Greatest Cuntry In The World
Well I was young so I don’t remember that at all
The new Star Trek was full of ridiculous holes. Like Kirk gets marooned on a planet and just happens to run into Spock and Scottie while on a walk to nowhere – within a couple miles.
I haven’t seen the new Star Trek. My BS radar isn’t *completely* broken.
Also, how come you have to generate a black hole in the center of the planet? It’s a fucking black hole, even light can’t escape.
How come the first black hole conveniently sent Spock through time, but the second one killed the bad guy?
I also hate these hollywood cookie cutter plots where have the bad guy win once at the beginning to establish a conflict, and then you know the bad guy is going to die in the second battle. It’s almost as predictable as the Bourne identity/conspiracy/supremecy. What happened to the good ol’ days when we had movies like Leon.
I have yet to see Leon!
It’s one of those rare movies which has, what’s it called, what’s the word I’m looking for…SUSPENSE. Unlike LOST, where people get punched in the face repeatedly with only superficial injuries.
The critics only gave it 74%, but I don’t think that’s fair. The use of music, Gary Oldman’s acting, and the genuine portrayal of violence was, in my opinion, unbelievable.
There’s no time to explain that now.
Who’s Leon?
I think they also called Lost “Shakespearean”.
Whoever said that should have his nuts cut off…..
The writers said that themselves, about one of their scenes in the re-crap.
Well fuck!!! I don’t think those assholes got any balls to cut off…..
It’s b/c those idiots saved everything until the last episode (the fact that they didn’t reveal anything is another argument altogether), so none of the conflicts made any sense.
Lost went down the magic crap hole!
Lost sucks cork!
Aw, come on, whenever the praise for LOST gets positive, Darlton are suspect, but when things start getting compared to all great TV, movie or literature classics… you know its Darlton pulling each other’s puds, yeah?
The actual ending was worse than all the conjectured endings mentioned in Tyler’s “Final episode predictions” blog entry, even though we all *tried* to make it shit.
Perhaps Lost was a social experiment to make a show as crap as possible, yet still draw a large number of viewers.
LOST actually makes more sense if you watch it from the last episode to the first.
Yes I believe you are absolutely right…..
Even if you watch Lost backwards it still makes no sense!
I meant at least the elements flow naturally
Z) We find out Jacob and MIB are brothers
Y) Jacob makes MIB evil
X) Smokie kills Jacob
W) Smokie is bad
Good one.
Now, who needs a drink?
Smokie, It was said before that this is the new, cool, zen, Hollywood, age of writing… make us imagine our own ending BS (Sopranos). It just plain sucks. But it really hurts when we are taken on a six year ride – and then driven off a cliff. It’s a darn shame.
Well aint that a bunch of fucking bullshit!!! That aint no way to tell no story. Jesus H. fuckin Christ, if thats the case why even tell a fucking story? I am going to tell you a story that starts you out but you have to figure out how to end it. I wonder just who the fuck come up with this lame assed form of writing. Sounds to me like they dropped out of writing class half way through and now have no idea how to end a story…..
I stopped watching the Sopranos, but, from what I hear, it’s completely different that what happened with LOST.
In Sopranos, so I’ve been told, the last scene hints that Tony gets capped, but you don’t actually see it.
In LOST, the last scene defecates over all previous seasons while give fanbois free reign to conjure up whatever far fetched theories they wish.
Sopranos- he definitely gets killed at the end. The internal stuff in the show tells you that. Since the show is more or less from his POV, of course when he dies, the show ends. Perfectly selfish ending for a perfectly selfish spiritually clueless man. And how else can you end a continuum?
I mean can you imagine a long running show that did something as fucking awful as a cop out ending like they’re all dead and they meet up in the afterl-
ah.
I can’t think of any. I’m LOST, can you think of any?
I need a drink!!! And make it a double…..
Did only drunk people like the finale?

Re: How would you rewrite the finale?
I wouldn’t – and I think it’s an insult to Darlton to even suggest it.
Re: How would you rewrite the finale?
I wouldn’t change a thing.
(They never give a reason why they like this crap. They just say it was perfect, they wouldn’t change a thing. Are they Lost zombies?)
Lost was such a big waste of our time.
Why did the writers con us like that?
Don’t they have any integrity or is all just about money?
$$$$
It’s never BEEN easy!
You all DO realize that the people who actually LIKED the way LOST ended are now watching “Sex and the City 2″ this weekend?
Sarah Jessica Parker is not an ugly skank because I’m being told she’s not an ugly skank.
That’s a really good movie. A lot of the critics are getting hung up on the plot and the sets, but what they don’t realize is that it’s a character based movie, and what matters is that in the end the four
girlsold women get what’s important to them.True – we need to look beyond all those stupid details and concentrate on whats important in a story… Especially if it has nothing to do with the story….
I’m convinced that a perfect story to Darlton would be if you stared at a blank page for several hours, then walked away and never asked a question ever again.
Did Lost have a story besides they made it to purgatory in the end?
Were they dead all along?
Yes and no.
The ending was dead.
It is a bit like Schrodinger’s Cat (look this up if you haven’t heard of it).
The show was half alive and half dead. When we looked at the show, enough people observed and the show lived.
Had we not looked at the show it would have been dead. Capish?
Yes – It sucked.
Yes the finale sucked. Lost was also great at sucking throughout season 6 that I a give it 10 stars for its suckitude!
I wouldn’t change a thing!
(No reason given, Just cuz!)
Sex and the City has always amused me because it’s a plagiarisation of the Tales of the City series, which were stories (later compiled into books) about queer life in San Francisco. To assimilate that and warp it into a nominally hetero series about harridans in new york is priceless.
Talk about sideways Obamacare:
With all those frackin Doctors around past present future sideways, Claire gets only Kate to deliver her kid TWICE!
MEDIC!
It’s the bottom up writing.
Carlton: We need kate to deliver the baby again
Damon: lets see, we got 1:45 minutes left, lets just squeeze it into the concert scene.
It”s bottoms up writing. What it means is that their head is so far up their asses that they are looking out their belly buttons. So that puts their bottoms up above their shoulders. Hence the term bottoms up!!!!! Well now the thing is thats my theory anyways…..
Carlton Cuse really scares me. Something about his face. It looks like shit to me
He is one creepy looking dude. Well, perhaps he is a dude… He compared himself to Shakespeare in the re-crap, pontificating about a stupid Richard scene.
Talking about character development – he could start wearing ladies cloths and change his name to Ms. Steinbeck, queen of the ABC gay writers…
WOW. Just WOW
What next, he’ll compare himself to Bruce Lee?
Wow!
Carlton Cuse looks like Sarah Jessica Parker’s in-womb twin!
Same elongated horse face replete with wrinkles.
Take a look and compare if you dare!
(is there any other type of twin?)
That’s actually a pretty accurate description. I just would like to add the terms ‘old man ass’ and ‘oops I crapped my pants’ to describe his face.
L.O.S.T.
L-ost
O-vertly
S-ucks
T-oday
…but will it suck throughout all time? Flashforwards included?
Turn the frozen donkey wheel and flash back through time!
The finale needs a do over!!!
Another pew-sludge entry:
Re: Didn’t Love it.
I loved it until Christian showed up. That was when Fonzie put on the water skis, when Christian explained that they were all dead – there was the shark.
If you just would’ve had Jack dying, without the sideways, it would’ve been better. This coming from someone who is absolutely shattered that Jack died.
I don’t even know what to think.
(LOL. I thought I saw Fonzie in the background trying to jump that shark near the island!)
Ya, Clair gets a murderous whore for a obstetrician.
What you don’t understand is that it’s all about what the characters want
That would have been fine if I could of ever figured out what it actually was that they wanted…..
They wanted life, death, and rebirth.
If I was an LA writer that wanted to make some cash, that’s what I would want too.
Yeah but the characters were more like afterbirth…..
LOL you’re mistaking the characters with Cuse
The characters were waiting to be reborn again so that they could grow up and meet up on flight 815, then they crash on an island where they find a hatch and push the numbers, then they meet Jacob and Jack replaces him and then he turns back on the light, then he dies and meets everyone at church in the alt world where the characters are waiting to be reborn again so that they…
Holy Time Loop and re-incarnation Batman!
:-O
Lost to me seemed like an Olympic athlete training very hard for 5 years to win a gold medal in track.
Then in year 6 they find out they are going to die and go to heaven so the medal does not matter.
They still run the race but in a lazy, wimpy way and come in last! Then at the end of the race they are happy they came in last.
They don’t seem to know why they are happy, but they have a dorky smile on their face as they see a white light!
How much money did Damon and Carlton make from ruining Lost?
By the way, since my pea brain still hurts, could somebody tell me briefly just HOW MANY distance alternate universes & timelines were there and WHEN did the Oceanic Lostees officially die? When we first see the plane break up over the island, correct? ALL DEAD, right?
Like, the Oceanic Six were dead already when they got picked up and their whole 3 years of life and money from the settlement was all in their head? Yes?
I just wonder what the rest of the world was doing when all this was going on?
Basically they all died, the real world went on without them, and everything else was made up to flesh out the character-driven circus.
I think.
I have a question as well, and it’s rhetorical b/c I told care enough about LOST to know: The Darma Initiative that kept coming to the island, was that real? or a figment of their imagination?
This show licks balls
There’s only two universes. There’s the material universe, which has one timeline. And there’s the spiritual universe, which also has one timeline. They all died at various points in the material universe–Boone when he got smooshed by a heroin plane, Locke when he got strangled, Charlie when he tried to breathe water, Jack when Vincent ate him, etc. Then they all simultaneously coexisted in the spiritual universe until they got tired of it and left. The spiritual universe does have a timeline, but it’s not parallel to the material universe–when they died in the material universe was irrelevant to how they experienced the spiritual universe.
That’s if you belief Christian’s sermonizing. You can imagine something else to explain the show, if it makes the story better for you, or play textual critic and determine the authors’ original intentions way back in season 1. Maybe they were dead all along and the island and the alternate universe were both afterlives that they had to complete in sequence. Maybe the island was real but the afterlife was just Jack’s dying hallucination as a hungry labrador gnawed on his ear. I don’t know. The writers want us to debate this for years. I feel kind of bad encouraging them like this.
What I mean is, back in season 2 when the whole Darma Initiative was introduced, did the show already suck?
Yes. It looked like filler, smelled like filler, and it turns out, it was filler.
Let’s face it Lost was nothing, but junk food filled with artificial fillers. 95% filler and 5 % story!
You will get filled, fat and get episodic tv gas, but you won’t be satisfied!
You will be duped into coming back for more, but it’s the same old junk.
They just wanted us to be Lost couch potatoes and have an aha crybaby girlie-man moment at the end!
Some of us didn’t fall for it. Others did!
BURP!!!
Well we watched the whole thing, but didn’t fall for the ending.
They all died in the plane crash. Everyone else was already dead. The Island was purgatory so nothing had to make any sense. It was a remake of the film, “Jacobs Ladder.”
It started out as a thematic remake, because they didn’t think the network would order a whole season. And then they kept writing in escape hatches so they could make everyone dead. Canceled in season one? Look into the face of the monster/heart of the island and realize you are dead. Canceled in season two? The Swan was keeping them in purgatory, hooking them with scientific mysteries and a sense of destiny; don’t push the button and you go to heaven. Canceled in season three? Everyone goes to the church Eko built and Christian leads them into the light.
When the show went on year after year, they changed course and said everyone survived the plane crash. The reason nothing made sense isn’t because it didn’t have to–the plot they settled on mostly took place in the real world–it’s because they failed at writing something that made sense.
I’m guessing Alex Rousseau died in the womb, or as an infant, so she went right to heaven. Danielle couldn’t accept that, so she made up the Others. Michael’s greatest fear was Locke stealing his son and sodomizing him, so he continued the fantasy of the Others as kidnappers. The Others didn’t really exist and had no subjective experiences of their own, until the show caught on and they realized Emerson was a really good actor. Then they became real characters, just like the island became a real place.
Intriguing hypotheses.
I see. Thank you for catering to my gold fish attention span and keeping it short.
I totally picked up on the “nothing had to make sense aspect”. If it was a case of waking up and it was all a dream, it still had to make at least a little sense.
But what happens when, for example, Faraday leaves the island in the 1970s?
Idiots r STILL saying they all died in the plane crash…God maybe you people are stupid and don’t get LOST, not that I get it, but I get it enuff to know the island wasn’t purgatory, but I won’t bother explicitly explaining it to you… Why? because “That’s not important right now…” and you’ll still believe that dumb $hit anyways…
BOOM
F U C K I N G
I D I O T S
Not sure I get the question. Nothing unusual happened when Daniel left the island in the 70s. The writers dropped him because he created a sense of verisimilitude and skiffy rigor that they couldn’t keep up, then they brought him back and killed him just to make sure we all got the idea: Science is Dead, Faith Rules*. It wasn’t a spiritual or metaphysical event because by the 4th season they were thoroughly grounded in the idea that the island was real, and had decided to tell their purgatory story in the fake alternate timeline.
* Also, his death delivered the journal to Eloise and established, at least in her mind, that what happened happened, which is why she knew certain future events up until 2007 and played time cop with Desmond. Killing your son and watching a failed attempt to reset the timeline turns one into a fatalistic old bat. Daniel was also an apocalyptic Biblical prophet, so we were supposed to pick up on his book being a collection of prophecies about both the End Times and the Messianic Age–the Incident and the Alternate Universe.
This show used to be really clever before they stopped telling the story they were telling and started telling the story they wanted to tell. Symbols evidently had meaning, characters behaved according to their histories and their worldviews. It wasn’t perfect, but it was leading somewhere. What we got was not where it was leading. They killed the purgatory idea fairly early, but they were so in love with it they brought it back, and threw in some spiritual nonsense to glue the purgatory story and the science fiction island story together. They should’ve let the purgatory story stay dead, finish the science fiction series that was Lost, and then told their purgatory story in another series.
‘Douche’ -and I say this with great affection and respect – you are most fab and we here are unworthy!
When you wordcrafted “a sense of verisimilitude and skiffy rigor,” I nearly creamed in my Lostie jeans (and I am straight as an Ajira arrow Dude).
Where did you learn to write like that, Man?
Hey Infected, If you would have read what Deus Ex Pede said up above Pukster’s comment you would have looked like a wit. He said: When the show went on year after year, they changed course and said everyone survived the plane crash.
Since you obviously neglected to read the whole thing, now your only half of one…..
No, i was actually reading The End’s (along with others comments further up the page), so mind ya business Clint Eastwood with moobs…
How do you know what I look like? You been sneaking around peeking in my windows? You little Tom Tom you…..
Potiphar: How do you get Douche out of Deus Ex Pede?
Okay, like I admitted above, I really did like seasons 1-5 of Lost. Even with all its shortcomings, it felt like a real universe. The introduction of Daniel Faraday was no small part of that. After three seasons of the 815ers–who we now know were Jacob’s hand-picked retards–we got a character who was interested in the island and set about investigating it. This is what you do in science fiction–you either have an omniscient narrator explain the universe to the reader, or you introduce someone, usually a scientist, who investigates it.
Since we were talking about opening the gates of network sci-fi earlier, let’s look at the X-Files. Ninety-nine percent of it was as out there as Lost. But people bought into it because the protagonists were engaged with the mysteries of their universe and always seeking to develop some model that would help them–and us–understand it.
Darlton started doing that in season four. Daniel’s experiments with the local spacetime topology addressed the difficulty in finding or leaving the island. The Orchid video gave that phenomenon a source, negative matter, which could have been a springboard for resolving every other mystery on the show. (When you have a form of matter that doesn’t adhere to the laws of physics, you can do funny things with time, entropy, heat, etc. Clever writers can even work consciousness into the story.)
Unfortunately, the skiffy mode was thrown out the window in season six. The fourth and fifth seasons of Lost, like the X-Files, were pseudoscience. Their premises were unscientific, but there was the appearance of science at work, an attempt to construct a model of the universe, and therefore the appearance of reality–verisimilitude. Season six lost that as none of the characters engaged in inquiry, and there were no attempts to construct a model of the universe. The characters simply accepted revelation, even when that revelation contradicted what we knew of how the Lost universe worked. If they didn’t bother constructing a model of the universe in their minds, why should we? No verisimilitude.
So we all agree the show sucks?
BOOM
F U C K I N G

You mean
BOOM
MEERCATS…
don’t ya? Otherwise I’d have to accuse you of faking it and doing a bait and switch like the writers?
The island was purgatory – level one.
The alt verse was purgatory – level 2.
The church was purgatory – level 3.
Outside the church doors was – the afterlife.
The whole show was about redemption and walking into the light.
Exciting huh?
Come on. Would you have watched if at the beginning they told you that they all die and go to purgatory?
If Lost was a book would you buy it?
What if they re-wrote it or took out the flash sideways?
Still sucks?
Did Jacob’s Ladder have a better ending?
The rest of the world was relieved upon hearing the news of such poorly written characters having died in a planecrash.
The show Lost died a tragic death.
When they opened the coffin they saw it was empty.
There was nothing there, just like the finale!
Lost jumped the snow globe!
From Lostpedia:
“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was the only externally produced episode of the original Twilight Zone series, a series which the writers have repeatedly credited as being influential in the Lost series. Rod Serling purchased the rights to the short film after its Grand Prix win at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962.”
If anyone saw this episode it was about a guy in the civil war in a hangman’s noose. He got loose and swam away and went home and was about to kiss his wife.
He then sees a white light. At the end we see him back in the noose. He hallucinated the whole thing in a few seconds then died.
I can see how after the plane crashed Jack could have hallucinated the 6 years on the island then died.
The writers said the island was never purgatory, but it really was. They just changed it to the FSW, but purgatory originally started on the island then they moved it.
Even with this it still sucks!!!
Lost should have been a mini-series if they wanted to do a “Twilight Zone it was all in Jack’s mind” ending.
but…
It still would have sucked!!!
Correction:
I meant to say “distinct alternate universes”
Mybad.
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but, the characters!!!
Sam G seems to be patrolling every negative thread on the Cunt-selage forum about the finale and butchering every post that makes a great point about how crap the show was. What a cunt.

“It’s a huge success online, due to the fact that the main characters include a fat underachiever, a genuine fruit loop, and a a cunt who thinks that he’s always right.”
bahaha there’s going to be a lost DVD set which will have about 12-14 minutes of extra footage and people are already soiling themselves in anticipation for it. What a bunch of zombies.
The idiots who made the show can milk this for years because they know the idiot fans will buy any shit they put out.
of course the extra footage wont answer any mysteries
So true…
Perhaps it will explain the rest of jacks tattoo.
I didn’t understand the big transgression of Jack being tattooed by the girl. He’s a tourist. He’s allowed to bang her and fly kites with her, but if she puts ink on him, her friends have to beat his ass. I was a little lost. Maybe I missed something. I did enjoy the chick though.
Jacob caused them to be mad at jackass.
Just watching Jackass get his fucking ass beat was good enough for me…..
Also getting a tattoo in Thailand- home of diseases for which there is not yet even a name? And him a doctor an all? Not too smart.
Did we ever get confirmation from a plumber that the thai hooker really was a chick BTW?

The Liars con:
They said the island was not purgatory. but think about it.
There are a bunch of dead people, ghosts, whispers on the island that can’t move on yet or at all.
What would a place like this be called? A limbo or purgatory!
The island helped Jack and the others pass from purgatory to purgatory 2.0 – the FSW.
Then they get to go to heaven!
And yes, it still sucked the frozen donkey wheel !!!
What is Libby’s full back story?
Why did they put Desmond in prison?
apparently, you get your words deleted if you mention the two dwi’s of libby and analucia on thefuselage. faggots.
Oh come on, you got to br kidding? Thats a bit much…..
For serious? That didn’t used to happen. Hysterical overreaction.
I posted about this a while back. The mod came on the didn’t love it site and basically said we can’t criticize anyone affiliated with the show.
“Here’s some of the things that made it pretty obvious they were making it up from the beginning.
Characters being killed off/disappearing for reasons that have nothing to do with the plot.
Season 1 – Boone dies because they want to shock the audience. Walt is kidnapped because the actor was quickly outgrowing the part.
Season 2 -*mod edit*
Season 3 – *mod edit* . Nikki & Paulo die because the audience hates them.
Other examples of things being changed and time wasted on things that went nowhere.
They were originally planning on having a triangle with Michael, Jin, and Sun in season 1. That’s why there was all those odd scenes between them at the beginning of the season. The reason it changed was because Harold and Daniel had become friends in real life. They thought it would be better to use the actors chemistry and make their characters friends instead.
Season 2 was centered entirely around the tailies and the original hatch. What do they do to both? They destroy the hatch and kill off almost every character from that storyline. The only survivors were Bernard, Cindy, Emma and Zach. We only see them occasionally to remind the audience they’re still alive. Most of this season ends up being pointless and a complete waste of time.
What about characters acting like robots so the plot can move at a snail’s pace? That was a problem as far back as season 1. Watch the pilot and the early episodes again and you will see what I am talking about. The character interactions and dialogue are extremely unnatural. Little to no curiosity about all the incredible things going on around them. Perfectly content to do nothing and accept non answers. Never discuss anything with each other unless the plot allows it. The writers obviously had no clue where the story was going. Keeping the characters in the dark gave the writers time to make it up later on and save them for gotcha moments months or years down the road. This is just terrible storytelling any way you look at it.

it’s not even critical of the actors. it’s mentioning public info.
that’s unbelievable. But it’s what I’ve been trying to say all along, just haven’t been articulate enough to get the point across
To be fair to you, and me for that matter, if ever there were an online forum capable of reducing intelligent literate folk to the level of spluttering out sentence fragments and setting shit on fire… it’s The Fuselage.
At one point, I thought they actually slowed down the film during scenes to waste more time..
What the fuck was that scene when they got off the plane and they had a press conference. That was a 25 minute slow mo deboarding, follwed by a 105 minute pain in the balls press conference.
To their credit, Darlton did have everything planned out in the show, as evidenced by the fact that on of the others says “What is this, a press conference?”
What seems like great “spontaneity,” is really just utter shock, when the actors finally get their stupid lines.
What was the purpose of the lie?
Locke: “You have to lie”
Jack: “That makes absolutely no sense, but plot elements will develop which will force my character to lie for no reason”
Later that day
Jack: “We have to lie”
Kate: “That makes absolutely no sense”
Jack: *pointlessly infused drama*
Kate: “That makes sense now”
Kate will go for anything with a couple bucks in it…
Are the actors aware that their characters suck, or is it like reading off a teleprompter?
For example, when Gin was acting like a lifeless robot during the scene when Desmond was fried in the Mag-Lev machine… It was like he was just repeating words without meaning or expression, and in that stupid accent to boot.
It must be the writing, b/c the actors were better in S1. Look at season 5: Jack wants to detonate a nuke, so Kate first helps him, then helps sawyer, then helps Jack again!?!?!

Why did they kill off Locke so early? They gave him a miracle, he could walk again. And he became a special guy on the island who could hunt and track etc.
Then they threw it all away because MIB got Ben to kill Locke.
I was hoping that Locke would come back somehow and be a hero right next to Jack.
Why is it that only the leading man is the hero and not the nerd in high school like Locke?
And Lost was written by 3 sci fi nerds!
“Lost jumped the shark sideways!”

600 posts thats all?
Because we are beginning to run out of juice – beating this dead horse.
Is the dead horse in the alt world?
Yes, but it can’t move on because we keep beating the poor bastard…..
The horse is with the dead polar bears now.
The Flash-Sideways Con… brought to you by the creators and writers of Lost.
Look for their next con at a theater or tv show near you!!!
If the story has a lot of mysteries, answers almost none and kills off all of the characters then you have been conned!
If they say the story doesn’t matter, and no they didn’t die in the beginning, but right before they entered an alt-world that was never real even though that they said it was, then you have been conned!
If they included a lot of convoluted plot lines that go no where and have never mattered in the first place then you have been conned!
If they tell you that it’s about the characters and not the story stupid then you have been conned!
You have been warned! Watch a JJ, Damon or Carlton production at your own risk!!!
A sucker is born every 108 minutes the hatch numbers are not entered!
4 8 15 16 23 42… Nothing matters, Jack. Let go!
I am getting tired of people saying that some Lost fans did not get the ending. WE got it ok! They died and went to purgatory! BIG deal.
This is like going to see an Indiana Jones movie then we get a Disney fairytale ending with puppies and bunnies coming out the wazoo!.
People who like adventure movies, but knew there was going to be a cheesy ending would never have gone in the first place, only this happened on tv.
The people who cried like little girls at the finale are the ones who don’t get us. We went in to see a “Star Wars”, “Indiana Jones” type experience on tv so to speak and then we got a chick flick at the end!
If this happened at a movie theater I would have walked out! None of us signed up for this. We want our money back! Where’s the Manager?!
The island was a “pre” purgatory. It was a test for Jack and the others to get into the alt-world. It wasn’t a “real” island it was a magical island.
Time was not the same there as the real world. It all happened in a split second, Jack died and then we got the crappy finale!
Get over it Lost die hard groupies!
I get it. The Island was purgatory Level one. You have to detonate an A-Bomb in order to advance to the next level.
If you put back the magic cave plug you get to level 3?
Ya, but that’s after you battle the Smokie “Boss”
Bravo.
The best synopsis I have gotten so far is “a remake of Jacob’s Ladder”
It’s a remake of a chinese film
“Crouching Scientology Hidden Answers”
I agree.
From another site:
“Can’t we just get off the purgatory theory!! Please. I dont think the producers would out and out lie to us. That would be cruel to the faithful
fans of Lost.”
LMAO… LMAO… LMAO…
Yeah, and catholic priests never molest little boys either…..
I have a new way of making the final episode good in my mind. I wonder why nobody came to it before:
The alt-verse-afterlife is only a middle stage between life and eternal death. There’s no evidence that walking into the light at the end of the episode lead to an additional type of afterlife. For all we know, that could’ve been their final death.
With any luck, yes. It would be great to see a split second where the white ligth turns into what it SHOULD turn into for most of those creepy characters… darkness and flames…
Ya, they all go to hell.
That bright light is the light from the incinerator in hell…..
HAHA
Expect a LOST sequel in 2012 , they are really starting to talk about it
and the rumors is real
I couldn’t find anything on this important breaking news…
For the mainstream to show interest, they are going to have to make it a prequel and have the word “Rising” in the title somewhere.
LOST: The Rising
(A Prequel)
Commercial:
Get LOST again on ABC.
EVERYTHING explained!
EVERYTHING WAS REAL.
And this time….
Juliet is preggers….
The only thing that was a “dream” or “purgatory” was V, and thank God that shit was fictional. V turned out to be a thought running through Juliet’s head when she was with Sawyer in front of the vending machines. In the daydream, she even played a part in V.
I thought V was just another alt-verse of Lost… no?
There is always that possibility…..
Why was Flash Forward canceled and V is still on?
Because Flashfoward has the same mentallity as Lost you watch 10 episodes and nothing happens.
Forget about the last six years and drink this magic potion to protect the light hole, no question asked, OK? Ya, sure.
I’m not a writer, but I did get a C instead of a B or A because I ended a short story with a dream. I did it because I got bored with the whole thing…
Was this not a disaster? I kept watching the clock, thinking they are running out of time to explain anything.
Are these guys really being hailed as the second coming of writers after that cockamamie “ending?” I don’t understand this…
What i don’t udnerstand is how people can defend this garbage. The finale was so bad, I fast forwarded more than half of it. I don’t need to see the fight between Jack and Locke b/c everyone knows Jack is going to win. It was SOOOOO gay.
Gay is the operative term.
You didn’t miss ANYTHING. It was like a time bomb ticking away towards disaster.
At least if they had shown a disaster, in the words of Paxton Fettel (F.E.A.R) “They tried to bury their sins, but instead, planted the seeds of their doom…A war is coming. I’ve seen it in my dreams. Fire sweeping over the earth. Bodies in the streets. Cities turned to dust. Retaliation.”
They should have introduced MIB back in season two, have him say that quote, then he gets off the island and starts massacring people, that way
1) The off island story wouldn’t be terminally boring
2) We could understand why they have to kill the monster.
I saw that too. The smoke Monster defeated, just in the nick of time from destroying the earth. Jack-ass saves all humanity… wow, that a let down…
oops, vodka influenced post…
Nothing worse than getting caught in the act…..
When things are predictable, there is no suspense.
No one likes the Lost – Purgatory game. After you get to level 3 the ending sucks!
The finale was made on the cheap. ABC ran out of time and money. It showed in the ending. A black cocktail dress for Kate, a hat for Faraday and a styrofoam tunnel with a yellow flood lamp. That’s all Folks.
Did you notice that Kate had the black cocktail dress on outside the church. But inside the church she had what looked like a light green shirt. A little too provocative dress for inside a church I guess.
She’s an ass-shakin slut all the same…
HAHA It looked cheep as shit.
So thats’ why season 6 seemed so rushed and cheap looking.

“BrokeBack Mountain set on a mysterious island”
Yeah, I always thought the MIB and Jacob were getting at it. Some sort of a “I hate you but I love your anus” relationship.
Sawyer and Mile are a shoe-in for that job.
“Miles”
I’ve asked myself why I kept watching this show. At one time I had high hopes for it.
They kept expounding on the philosophy of free will and if it would allow for time paradox. I was fascinated by this. I thought perhaps it was a time paradox which might contribute the “end of the world” theme.
In season 5 they introduced the idea that they might cause one by blowing up something to stop the hatch from being built. But I didn’t like this because they would have to die causing the paradox to occur. Who would observe it?
But even earlier in season 5 they had already done a time split and then had some of our “candidates” magically disappear from one time stream to the other. (also the magic ride happened in season 6 episode 1).
I think it was during season 5 I started thinking WTF. This was bull shit. It was obvious they had already fucked it up royally.
Then season 6 starts out that they had altered the course of time and in fact we were all duped into calling the L.A. scene an “alternate time line”. Then in The End we found out it wasn’t even a time line at all. But to have cake and eat it to they continued the season 5 time line via the magic ride.
I kept watching because I was duped and because I had already invested enough time in it. There are many other series I stopped watching when they deteriorated and I wish this had been one of them.
Welcome to the club, it’s tough on all of us… (except Darlton).
After the finale I thought I would stop posting, but here I am, still in utter disbelief. I stopped liking it from episode one this season. Totally sucked – just like one big long polar bear cage episode.
In any event season 6 only resolves season 6 itself. Sure, for some the final scenes are very touching. It was a sell job and anyone who wanted Lost to be good, even after the season 5 fiasco started, would just love it. There is loud evidence that this was enough for those folks and they bought it. Good for them.
Anyone who wanted the sci-fi part to be good got lubed and corn holed.
I wasn’t looking for something in the touched-by-an-angel realm and I wouldn’t have watched it if I had known. Good for people who like that stuff, bad for me.
Just so the advertisers know, I fast forwarded through all their stuff so, Ngaa Ngaa.
I will stop posting soon myself for real. I am still trying to realized what happened here and I am getting closer. I will probably read about what the explanations they present, but I’ll reiterate that they won’t be satisfying to me now in light of how the series ended. I’m not going to watch anything more Lost related for sure.
Not even if it’s called; LO$T 2 SMOKEMONSTERS REVENGE…..
HAHA the entire series is just a birds eye view of the island, and smokie goes around eating everyone pacman style
They are ones that belittled the series – not us.
Comment by Deus Ex Pede
2010-05-31 03:06:16
“Potiphar: How do you get Douche out of Deus Ex Pede?”
I meant no disrespect, really, Deus, but I have a speech impediment that makes me pronounce ‘deus’ like “douche.” I guess you have to hear me…
You have some great analyses here.
PAX.
(catching up)
No disrespect was felt. If you want to call me a douche, that’s fine, too. You probably got it, but for those who didn’t:
Deus ex machina is Latin for “god from the machine.” It refers to how crappy Greek and Roman dramatists would end their plays: they’d use a crane and pulley to lower some god onto the stage who would solve everything. It was so bad, we all remember how bad it was today.
Deus ex pede is Latin for “god from the foot.” It refers to how crappy American producer/writers would end their television series: they’d introduce demigods at the end of the series with ambiguous powers, responsibilities, and motivations, to whom the protagonists would flock. The protagonists would abandon their own character arcs and allow their actions to be driven by the deus ex pede until the conclusion of the series.
WOW!!! I sure hope they don’t make any show like that. Sounds like it would really suck…..
I just last night rented “The Hurt Locker” for the first time and was really impressed…got deeply involved the whole psyche of the thing – being character-driven and all that – when suddenly…
I found myself ready like (the real) Locke, gonna hang myself cause right at the end we see that Jimmy’s wife is the skank Kate from LOST holding yet another ugly kid all by alone herself!
Spoiled the whole frackin mood and ‘lost’ my hard-on for the whole climax of the movie which was great BTW.
The horror…the horror.
More like this:
THE WHORE!!! THE WHORE!!!!!
read my mind…
Same here – rented it, suspected it was over-hyped, found myself completely drawn in (and horrified) past the halfway mark….
Then ‘Lilly (”Kate”) w/baby in arms shows up and I have to re-watch it from the point she shows up/leaves then next day, skipping her 1/2-dimensional, trying to act character carrying a baby….
I’m w/you there brutha.

Some douche cunt on the Fuselage has ripped off my whole Bardo Thodol purgatory explanation, with no acknowledgment. What. The. Fuck.
Was that the UN constitution paper you cut-and-pasted?
Ha ha ha, yes- but… I actually put the bardo theory up on the Fuselage in a normal back and forth in 2006. Not a massive block of 4chanesque spambombing, just in the normal discussion process bits and pieces. Now not only are the critics getting banned and censored, they’re letting their lapdogs regurgitate our fucking posts.
Not happy.
Did she take up 256K in space also?
I’m glad someone brought up the Bardo Thodol myth / religion / whatevah – if at least 1/2 of the Darlton beast didn’t admit they were very familiar with it – my guess would be Curse since he at least seems “educated” vs. being a geek/hipshit douche-bag like Demon
Anyway, it’s just far too similar – maybe it’s what the show’s real creator – Jeffrey Lieber – who only gets first billing in the “Created By” credit at the start of each show and a chance to tell his story only in the DVD S1 extras – had gotten his inspiration from.
And I wonder how much they paid him off to stay out of the news / press and in the background so that Darlton could take credit from the show when it seemed like in the DVD extras, the whole idea was Jeffrey Lieber’s but after years of trying to sell it, finally hooked on to one of J.J. Abram’s “fishes” and even had to bring J.J. into things to get the pilot made.
(Newsflash! Fans upset over the finale have taken to drastic measures. Read below)
For sale:
Slightly used Lost dvd’s – season 1 and 2. Season 2 has never been opened.
Oh what the hell. I might as well throw them down the magic hole and watch them melt after that smelly a$$ finale! It smelled like frozen donkey $hit!
I like your name but unfortunately we will never find out the fate of Locke’s Compass.
That information is lost…. oh, wait… wait…. duh! Now I finally get it! Lost! Talk about a show living up to its name.
Empire Strikes Back ~ Lost quotes (Do you have any?)
C3po: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.
The possibility of successfully forcing Lost fans to like the finale is approximately 13 million to several sniveling, whining nerf herders!
Yoda: Help you I can. Yes, hmmmm.
Luke: I don’t think so. I’m looking for a great Lost finale.
Yoda: Ohhh. A great finale…
[laughs and shakes his head]
Yoda: The writers of Lost not make great finales!
Luke: But they gave it a good try?
Yoda: Writers tried not. Do… or do not. There is no try. Fail the writers did, hmmmm !!!
Yoda: Fans must not go and see the Lost finale!
Luke: But Lost will die if we don’t.
[Obi-Wan's Force-spirit suddenly appears]
Obi-Wan: You don’t know that. Even Yoda cannot see Lost’s fate.
Luke: But we can help the finale! We can save Lost! We feel the Force!
Obi-Wan: But you cannot control it. This is a dangerous time for Lost fans, when they will be tempted by the Flash Side-ways!
Luke: We won’t fail Lost even if it failed us! I’m not afraid.
Yoda: You will be. You… will… be.
Lost Fans Strike Back!
Not such a long time ago on an island far, far away…
It is a dark time for the Lost Rebellion. Although Lost’s ending has been destroyed, the Imperial Lost writers have driven the Rebel fan forces away from the island and the series finale and pursued them across the TV galaxy. Evading the dreaded Flash Sideways, a group of Lost fans led by Luke Scriptwriter, have established a not so secret base on the remote ice world of Why Lost Sucks. The evil dark lords of Lost, obsessed with writing a cheesy finale and making more money, have set out on a quest to dispatch as many Lost DVD sets as they can to anyone that will buy one. Millions of Lost fans have scattered into the far reaches of space never to be heard from again…
A Lost Jedi craves not these things…
Man, it’s infinitesimal…
You can biatch as much as you want, i liked lost ending
i cried , i considered those guys like old friends, i will miss them all
farewell guys , we will meet again.
BOOM LOST
Darlton thank you, the advertisers thank you, and ABC thank you. Remember, if you get a headache that means you’re thinking, and thinking makes the Lost cast cry. So don’t think, just keep eating the grass and baaing along with the rest of the sheeple.
Sheeple. A.k.a. the people who took Darlton at their word.
I couldn’t have said it better myself…..
Don’t be ridiculous.
Darlton don’t give a shit about their fans. Why would they thank them?
Hopefully, you will meet them more sooner than later…
You must like root canal surgery too!
Dude you have blown past gay right into complete faggotism…..
Get real. The finale sucked as the writers threw polar bear $hit at the fans!
You liked getting hit in the face with polar bear dung?
I wouldn’t watch a lost sequel even if it was called….
LOST: Full Frontal Nudity
We already saw Sun’s tits.
Such a “blue” series would go like this.
Every episode some red shirts we’ve never seen together would get into some kind of sex romp.
Just when were about to see something we’d hear gun cocks.
Then Ben would appear and say “we don’t have time for that now”.
Next episode: “You aren’t ready to know that yet”.
Next episode: “Jacob said I have to stop this”
etc, etc, etc.
They’d never actually have any FFN.
Fake.
I first heard from a friend that Lost had been authorized 5 seasons near the end of season 2. He said something along the lines of “so basically we’ll never find out what’s going on.” How right he was.
Spot on, brotha…..
Can anyone tell me what the point of LostUniversity was? Darlton created the website I presume for us to explore Lost in greater detail.

That’s odd… no courses on death or purgatory??? How silly of them to wank us around like that.
It’s all pointless as none of this stuff had anything to do with the show. They’re all dead. None of the above matters especially physics in purgatory. It’s downright stupid to invest time into plot elements that the writers have crapped all over?
Which show was more about nothing? Seinfeld or Lost?
Lost was the biggest nothing!
You mean some unpaid interns crapped out… I mean, created that Web site only to abandon it as soon as they stopped getting checks and the last one cleared.
I was flipping through channels last night in an insomniatic haze wehn I can accross a random Lost repeat from season 4 or 5. I tried to watch it, now knowing how the whole thing ends. But there was absolutely no way to reconcile what was happening with how the whole thing ended. Its sad really. Pretty much all the on island action, which is the only reason I watched the show, was pointless.
It’s b/c no one gave a shit about the characters. We just wanted to know what the fuck the island was.
Yes of course – any sane man would want to know what the fuck all that shit was… for *#%& sake.
It’s not worth it now to buy the complete Lost dvd set.
I am not going to buy it. Are you?
Gee, I don’t know…
Just what all those dick-headed, ripoff, assholes need – more money. And for what?
“all the on island action, which is the only reason I watched the show, was pointless”
Now there is something we can all agree with. Holy shit.
Hey, now cut that shit out. We all can’t be agreeing on something…..
so you guys are still posting about the show? more than a week after the finale aired?
When something sucks as Lost Finale Sucked, believe me when I tell you that you can been talking about it for years, even decades and centuries!!!
Well I don’t know about all that…..
Most of us will post when we are done venting about the crappy finale. After that I want to forget about Lost!
I enjoyed watching the reruns of season 5, but after I saw the finale it wasn’t fun anymore because the ending sucked donkey $hit!
I just re-watched the first episode of season 6 to see how different it would be after knowing what the finale is.
I had high hopes for season 6 now it just feels uncomfortable to watch.
It feels too weird now knowing that they’re all dead.
We’re not ’still’ posting in real life…we are in fact in some sort of limbo (’how lo can YOU go…?) waiting for the all-clear from our ‘don’t go into the light’ warning in “Poltergist” which did, in good storytelling form, have a real ending.
there’s no time to explain that now.
also, taking what, ten minutes out of a day to post here? bfg.
I have spent hours here posting and checking it out. Sometimes my old lady will say “Goddamn you going to spend all day on that site or what?” I will say “or what.”…..
I sometimes split my posting here with my drinking… figure I can kill two birds with one stone.

You/he spelled Britannia incorrectly.
Sky1 recently caught up with the stars of Lost and found out some surprising revelations. When asked to sum up what the Lost audience will make of the final season in under three words, the cast were reassuringly cryptic.
Daniel Dae Kim who plays Jin Kwon declared that fans would feel “Content” while Evangeline Lilly felt that the finale would cause a divide amongst fans saying “They’re either gonna love it or hate it.”
Things got s little more revealing as Josh Holloway joked that the final episode of season 6 would be called “Cage Orgy” hinting that the whole cast would be locked in a cage to recreate the famous Sawyer and Kate love scene in season 3. Now that’s something I think every Lost fan would want to see!
the most rewarding part for the cast was when they cashed their cheques. Also for people like Evangeline Lily who went from uncredited extra and commercials to stardom. Flameout.

I always hated this woman in Star Trek, but I have new found respect for her.
I have never liked the bitch. Upon finding this out I will reconsider…..
she perfectly captures how I feel. Especially the “What The HELL?!?!?” at the end
I wonder how many other celeb fans of Lost hated the finale?
I am waiting to see if any comedians tear the Lost finale to shreds?
I’m surprised more people didn’t already do this.
I’m surprised they only hated the finale and not the last couple seasons or more.
I think season 5 was much better than Season 6. In fact, you could make that argument for every season stretching back to the pilot
Remember though most critics are silent critics. They just give up on something and don’t tune back in. Who knows how many genius critical comments we lose each year when people just give up on LOST instead of standing and fighting against the constant sawtooth of cognitive dissonance and magical thinking?
Season 6 was a watered down version of Lost.
Something went terribly wrong because Lost was much better than this.
I looked forward to the Desmond centric episodes.
It looked like a lot of thought and good writing went into them.
The Desmond episodes in season 6 were too boring!
What happened?
Did they take this down?
‘Lost’ Possibly Still Airing In Parallel Dimension, Desperate Fans Report
NEW YORK—Desperate fans of the recently concluded television series Lost are speculating that the program is continuing on in a parallel dimension somewhere, and that alternate versions of showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are currently writing new episodes of the series. “It’s very possible that a sideways world running concurrent to our own exists, and that a facsimile of myself is happy, fulfilled, and already gearing up for the season seven premiere of Lost,” said 36-year-old Kevin Molinaro, who, along with more than 20 million other hopeless fans, has recently booked multiple roundtrip tickets from Los Angeles to Australia in hopes of traveling through a vortex in the space-time continuum. “I just have to find a way to get there. We all do.” According to data from Google analytics, searches for “How to build/detonate/use a hydrogen bomb to open up a multidimensional wormhole” have increased 10 millionfold since the episode aired.
“searches for “How to build/detonate/use a hydrogen bomb to open up a multidimensional wormhole” have increased 10 millionfold since the episode aired.”
The NSA tracing computers must be going nuts, eh?
I predict Faraday will revive the skinny black tie look and a renewed interest among the geek crowd in studying piano.
Forget the multidimensional wormhole explanations. Science and logic are always trumped by lazy writers waving their magic wands.
If Lost has taught us anything is that the writers and Darlton have a shockingly “simple” (ie. retarded) background and interest in the 21st century world. Magic, fairy tales and word contortion in the form of bullshit is their area of expertise. Good storytelling it is not.
Don’t get me wrong, but it pays millions – sorry to say.
I’m disappointed also.
Cognitive dissonance. It isn’t just a disorder… It’s gone mainstream. Welcome to the Second Homeric Age, only this time it isn’t the blind poet of the Hellenes, it’s the cartoon fat stupid sack of shit telling everyone it’s fine to be a failure.
All they have to do is trick the audience of fools into believing that there’s a little of themselves in the show. Put up a mirror and the idiots are drawn like magpies to the dead meat on the road. Narcissism.
Mainstream media exists to vindicate bad choices the audience puppets make and keep the slave classes asleep. Everything else is either vicious persecution of original thought or fear conditioning.
Maybe if the Muppets did Lost instead of live people it would have had a much better ending and maybe even a funny one!
Lost – Season 6 – Episode 3
What Kermit Does
I have a you tube video of a Steve Winwood song called See a chance. At the end of it it has them two old fuckers up in the balcony talking shit. It’s hilarious.
If what we saw was the alt-finale and not the real one I would be looking forward to season 7 or 8 as long as they did not pull off the old standby – they are in “purgatory” ending!!!
Somebody get a rope!!! We got us a lynching to go to…..
For me, the greatest disappointment was the ambiguity of the numbers. They were mentioned in the lighthouse I think, next to everyone’s name. I guess they were also seating numbers on the flight? I don’t know.
People who think the Atom bomb went off are wrong. If the fucker had detonated, the hatch would have never been built and we would have never had to watch this fucking series because Jack’s plane would never have crashed. So, instead, they mislead the audience that the bomb DID go off and Jack landed in LA, but then all this crap about Jack having a son and all the same people showing up intertwined. The only you can explain all the connections was with the PURGE-A-STORY. A truly different timeline woud have picked up where the crash started, and Jack would not have a sone, etc. When they began showing all the connections between the people, I still had my hopes up because of a piece of paper Caesar found that had a line drawn on it that said “Imaginary Timeline” so I thought “surely, this is the direction they are going…”
But no. Jack fights Locke, gets stabbed where his appendix used to be, and dies with Vincet at his side.
A little piece of me died, too. I don’t have the patience for this shit.
I KNOW the writers are not stupid. So WHY did they do it this way? WHY? That’s the question. Fuck the island and the numbers at this point. WHY are the writers so…. so…. full of themselves and did not try harder to make the ending more Island oriented? Was it simply a matter of wanting to create an “emotional ending” instead of a more true to the series ending?
They would have gotten PAID no matter what, so money is not the motive here. Fuck. I am so pissed. I could have written a more satisfying ending. and I can’t write for shit.
If the bomb went off, it didn’t do the same type of damage. It just fiffed out and threw the people back to their own time. Time course correcting itself.
It’s all so stupid. I was a fool.
I’m watching “Breaking Bad.” No more fucking broadcast TV for me.
I do disagree about the acting. There was top notch acting spread liberally throughout the series. I do not fault the actors one bit.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. I, for one, got duped too. Probably most everybody here.
Since what happened on the mainland was not an an alternate time line, but some lame ass “sideways” place, it could have started anywhere in their lives. It didn’t have to start back in the plane where the series began.
The whole bomb incident was irrelevant to that.
However, even more misleading was the very first scenes season 6 of the island at the bottom of the sea. Since the whole mainland bit was them being dead but not knowing it, the destroyed island meant absolutely zilch.
I think they wrote themselves into a corner and then told as many lies as they could in order to maintain viewership.
“I KNOW the writers are not stupid.”
Just how the FLOCKE do you make THAT statement, buddy?
LOST was a bump n grind low down sex show masquerading as high adventure and art. It’s trash.
Any way you look at it, that’s the cold bitter truth of it all…..
I should explain myself. When I say Juliet’s bomb did not go off, I mean that the “incident” which was already occuring, reaching critical mass and when it showed the white light as she struck the plutonium core, that light was like what happend to Desmond when he turned the fail safe key… it was that type of explosion. The bomb did not go off. The radiation from the bomb would have prevented the Dharma initiative from building a hatch there.
I dont’ know why I am explaining myself. There are so many contradictions in the story that it’s just a big mess. : (
Funny I took it a totally different way. I thought what Fairygay was saying is that the bomb explodes and therefore negates that pocket of electromagnetic energy. Either way though, all it did was put the dipshits back in the right time zone. Because it still had the imploded hatch. So who the fuck knows why Botox told Sawyer it worked. What fucking worked? Since the flip side was just some stupid purgatory. I would say it didn’t work as they expected it to. In turn with her saying that made the show not only suck just that much more. It made the show as a whole completely and totally stupid as well…..
“So who the fuck knows why Botox told Sawyer it worked. What fucking worked?”
Lostniks are claiming that when Juliet said “it worked” she was linking to purgatory, because she said “it worked” in purgatory about the vending machine to Sawyer and something about going dutch for coffee, which she said just before she died. I think.
I’m beyond confused. Like Inherited Tiger said, there I go, thinking again.
It really is time for me to let go. ; )
I agree it’s all to fucking stupid for the brain to comprehend. Especially when it has been written in such an imbecilic nature…..
Don’t clobber yourself trying to figure out the bomb shit.
The result made no sense and there never were any answers given.
Season 6 started out having both “outcomes”. I remember seeing a vid where Michael Emerson was “shocked” that they did this. But he probably knew more about what the stupid purg story line was.
If you wanted to get into it, even without the bomb, how in the world could they build a hatch with metal parts in it while the thing was active.
It isn’t worth the time end effort. Any way you look at it, there were no answers given.
Just a trick to make you think there were two time lines. Then there was going to be this surprise ending. Well, surprise. What a waste of time.
Well my emotional investment in this show has been long gone for some time now…..
Nothing makes sense. If they were already dead why would Charlie almost die on the plane?
Why did bad things happen in the FSW? Why was Locke in a wheel chair if he was dead?
Why was Sayid a going after people? Why was Keamy going after Jin? It was all for nothing.
It made no sense at all !!!
Lost was perfect right?
Why change a thing?
I disagree. They had already interfered with events in the 70s and 50s. Therefore the timeline would’ve diverged in the 50s and 70s again. So Alex would definitely never have been born, Jack might’ve had a son etc.
Is there a manual for this somewhere?
Yes!!! It’s article 178 of the UCMJ…..
When you’ve worked with flux capacitors for as long as I have and know your way around them, you’ll know.
Breaking Bad is the best show on now.
It’s both “character” and story based. That is… charactors that are involved in stories, or stories that don’t matter to characters, or stories that don’t matter at all, or whatever.
Dude!!! I can’t believe that you are changing the subject right in the middle of our conversation. If I was where you are at right now, I’m afraid I would have to thank you and shake your hand…..
OH, and what about that four-toed statue again?
He was stationed in South Korea during the war. Got one of his toes blowed off by a hand grenade. So they give him an honorable discharge, a purple heart and sent him to the island for some good old R & R…..
Hence, the Korean connection – another elusive “reveal” You did it!
Thank you, thank you very much!!! Bows to the automatic laugh track machine…..
Breaking Wind is Damon’s and Carlton’s new show.
ABC shows are so bad now that they end up in purgatory in the alt verse.
At least 10 shows a year wind up there.
Acting: stiff, stereotypical, but it’s hard to press a diamond out of shite.
“They would have gotten PAID no matter what, so money is not the motive here. Fuck. I am so pissed. I could have written a more satisfying ending. and I can’t write for shit.”
You forget that the Writer’s Strike 2007 was all about digital distribution rights payments, etc. They were aiming to get the most audience distribution who’ll buy the S8 and full season DVD sets, then the “special” sets that keep coming out one per year.
So they pandered to the masses. Which means ignoring this site or pretending it doesn’t exist, and visit the 2-3 major sites and try to make sure that at least 10 MIL copies of the DVD set and 5 MIL copies of the S8 set are sold so they make major bank. Yeah, maybe $0.50/copy, but if they can move 10 MIL of the series set, that’s still $5MIL each, and frankly I’d cut off a finger for that kind of $$$ in this economy.
I’m just sayin’.
“I think they wrote themselves into a corner and then told as many lies as they could in order to maintain viewership.”
Agree with you muy mucho!
Wrote themselves into dozens of corners and then strung along the ones that seemed to get the best ratings is more like it.
Believe it or not but people over at fuselage are still creating new theories. Talk about beating a dead horse.
That’s because they aren’t very bright. Which is why dalrton go all Joe Biden about them. “God love ‘em”. As they count their benjamins.
The most pathetic fanboi argument I ever encountered was when this sap was trying to convince me that the nuance of Allison Janey’s voice answered questions.
Just how does one go about arguing with people who don’t have as much intellect as a retard does? It is literally impossible…..
It’s like banging your head against a wall
So shift from that to banging THEIR head against a wall. Works every time.
They are already self-victimising fucks.
So is it the general consensus that by showing the statue’s foot at the bottom of the ocean at the beginning of Season 6, that none of the events after that on the island happened, that it was also part of Purge A Story? Widmore never came there, etc?
There you go thinking again! When oh when will you learn???
Also- congrats on being post #815! Sah weet!
If the passengers did not know about the island in the alt world until they got their memories back, why did they show us the island underwater if nothing was real in the alt time-line in the first place?
Why did they lose their memory in the first place? Is there any way it could have gotten any more stupid than this? OK, with these idiots anything is possible…..
This is the only ending that makes a ‘They dreamed it all up’ ending look better
Dammit I just can’t argue with that logic…..
this page is getting pretty huge too. We need a residuum II
Or Residuum 3 !
Also remember waaaayyy back in 1.1… No one other than Kate the lying bitch claimed to have any memory of the crash itself…
Is that right? Just goes to show you how much I pay attention to detail anynore I guess. Hell I just watched the shit less than a couple of weeks ago too…..
But even the statue foot underwater is irrelevant. If it is purgatory then that open up that world to be anything one wants it to be.
But then they have Ben’s purgatory-father saying he’d wished they’d stayed on that island for a better life.
See? This is how the writers cheat. Not only do you not get any true answers, you get convoluted contradictory dialog.
Then the ending was “the sting”. You have been conned. Do you have a victims assistance program in your area? Call them.
If it was a dream, then it still had to be logical, but with exceptions for a few bizarre incidents (kinda like Vanilla Sky). But when it’s purgatory, not only does nothing matter, nothing is supposed to matter.
Hey remember how Richard watched Jack and the gang die? Yep more meaningless spooky babble randomly thrown out to fuck with viewers, This of course would have made perfect sense if jughead killed them all and created a second time line instead of plot convenient time travel.
plot hole #34512
oops.
Hell not just the statues foot being underwater, or even the whole island for that matter, because that was the flipside so nothing mattered. Just showing the statue was irrelevant, because he could have lived in the cave with all the names for all we know. Speaking on the terms of irrelevant, Darma was irrelevant. As a matter of fact the others turned out to be irrelevant. Hell was there anything about this show relevant? OK maybe Patchy was relevant. Well then again…..
What about showing a four-toed statue foot in S2 and leaving it hanging there? (Or standing… or sitting… or whatever?)
There was obviously an idea to bring in Egyptian mythology and/or history and/or made-up storyline at some point – which kept me watching, having had a big fascination w/Egyptian stuff back before Jr. High (then I got into Toltec, Mayan and Aztec culture a year or three before the orig. Battlestar Galactica really pushed it – into UFOs and crap.)
Anyway, if I may quote this late past “the end” of this crapfest – from a “quick review” at least 2-3x “there’s a four-toed piece of a statue – what’s up with that!?!
Sorry I only joined the night of the finale’ and don’t know all the nicknames & terms – wish I knew what FSW meant – I have figurs out all the others. Cheers mates!
I watched S5 for “free” w/my Netflix subscription by streaming it, before and during S6. Then I decided to just wait until I could buy S6 for cheap or stream it as well, so after the first annoying ep I deleted recording it on my DVR.
Now I’m just gonna wait out until S6 streams for free becuz they figure it’ll sell DVDs or Lost v2, although I doubt the latter given the content and being on a major network.
What’s worth watching? On what network (if I know)
Deadwood (HBO) – one of the most stupid cancels eveThe Sopranos (HBO)- S1/2 & S7/8 – great stuff if you skip the filler
Wonderfalls (???)- (NBC) – somehow the real genius behind “Wonderfalls” sticks to network TV instead of going cable – even gets Swoozie Kurtz as a regular, as well as Lee Pace – killed after two seasons
Rome (HBO) – only 2 seasons, and much like BBC only planned on the first, when there’s so much Greek and Roman history to tell
Could go on but whatevever
The whole miserable finale was a distraction so that we will talk about it and not the economy.
How many people are going to say they just didn’t get the end of Lost?
“If Whoopi saw the finale she would have gotten it.”
We all “saw” it and got it. We just didn’t like it!
I didn’t get it.
I don’t really care.
Me neither…..
I did not care about the finale either, since the episode the constant I just keep watching this show for the only reason of getting solve the mysteries of previous seasons, like who build the statue? Numbers? Dharma? etc.
After watching this ending and the following seasons since the Constant, I have to say I regret giving this useless writers / producers a chance to explain themselves.
Kha0s I was in exactly the same position
Pukster, what piss me off about this people is that they are so predictable and I hate myself for giving them the smallest chance, I don’t believe in second chances no more.
I didn’t either…..
Me either.
How many emmy nominations did Lost get and why?
You have to ask that question right mate, let me show you, try this:
How many Emmy nominations did Lost BUY?
You know, guys, we all WERE WARNED about the crappy ending.
Remember when Ben confronted Jacob just before he stabbed him and asked, and I paraphrase some here:
“After all I went through and did for you…WHAT ABOUT ME?”
And Jacob’s reply (actually Darlton’s wiseass crack to US all) was:
“What ABOUT you?”
Indeed.
The original reply by Jacob was “That’s not important now” but Darlton thought it was too spoilerish so they went with “What ABOUT you?” instead.
BTW that wasn’t acting by Ben when he stabbed Jacob. He was genuinely frustrated with the lines his character was forced to deliver and he just lost it. The director decided to keep that take.
LOL. Funniest comment in a long time
Ah yes. The “I know you are, but what am I?” approach to demigodhood.
Who fired the flaming arrows that killed the red shirts when the gang was running through the jungle at night during the island’s “time jumps”?
LOST is kinda like those 90’s computer games where you find a flaw in the design of a level and manage to get on a ledge/wall/cliff that is meant to be inaccessible, and you literally fly off the map and all you see are vectors and beige. It’s the same here. There’s nothing ‘behind’ there. The arrows just are.
Yeah, like the outrigger that was shooting at the NOSEBLEEDSECTION when they were jumping around in time…..
Exactly. You can clearly see the outrigger in one scene, but there is nothing ‘behind’ the outrigger. If the camera were to pan around all you would see would be hollowed out characters (not to be mistaken with the main cast which are hollow characters)
Funny, hollow and shallow both at the same time!!! The way them fucks were jumping around in time like they was, I figured that was going to be addressed in an up coming episode. I figured it had to be a jump to the future because we hadn’t seen nothing like that before. So I was even telling the old lady that it had to be coming up on one of these episodes in season six. Well it never happened, so I guess either we leaped or Ziggy and Al just plain fucked up…..
Probably the Smoke Monster as somehow part of his nonsensical long con…. I won’t be surprised at all if the LOST encyclopedia is nothing but “smoke monster did it” because the hack writers still can’t come up decent explanations so they resort to smokey and magic light holes.
Real answer:The writers/producers fired the arrows they wanted all redshirts off the show because they had no idea what they do with them in dharma times, it’s laughable really how Frank’s plane leaves with like 6 people when they could have easily BS’ed a story about saving what’s left of the nonames of 815.
How true. Why did they feel they had to kill off the Agira survivors? Then they never actually show who done it, or why it happened…..
Jacob told Widmore to do it of course! They never even bother to show that scene between them, I guess the writers just wanted his character just to be a guy that brings a Desmond back and a sub to blow up
I heard Darlton in an interview with Diane Sawyer (mmm) say that they were very proud that no one got the twist about the other universe being fake.
That’s a load of bull-crap. The altaverse looked like a parallel universe, and there was absolutely no non-contrived reason for it not to be exactly that.
It is like they showed us something that looked like a duck, walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, and at the end, after we all believe it to be a duck, they bring Christian Shephard, who writes on it with a magic marker “This is a gorilla”, and then claim they managed to surprise us.
The claim that this universe was the one they chose in order to meet, is utterly contrived and ridiculous.
(Actually, a recurring wound does bring to mind a Star Trek TNG episode where Riker was captured, but it was done much better than this crap)
Is that the episode where they try to get information out of him and in the end it turns out it was this kid that was all lonely on a planet so he was playing mind games with him
also, LOST sucks
No I think it’s the alien abduction from subspace horror episode. Whatever.
Also, LOST sucks.
Would the “island is a spaceship” theory suck worse than the actual finale?
BOOM
LOST… sucks
No it would have been much better. Like the movie Dark World, in the last scene have the losties destroy the exotic energy and the sky disappears and all you see is outer space ( a la the Myst 2 Riven ending). For added points, this kills smokie and Jack gets sucked into outer space.
Of all the things they could have ripped off but didn’t, Dark City would have been the smartest bet by a long shot.
“Where are you going? There’s nowhere to run to. This city’s ours. We made it.”
etc.
sorry Dark city
they should of gone full scifi, instead they went full retard
The TNG finale was character focused AND core plot focused in a way the LOST finale wishes it was, the why it cements the crew as a family and Picard’s revelation of this was brilliant along with how it ties into Q’s trail of humanity in the pilot. It’s hard to feel that LOST went full circle when it’s pilot and first season had absolutely nothing to do with the cliche good vs evil shit that infested this season, the constant callbacks to the first seasons only served to remind me of this.
If Darlton had directed TNG, Data would of used contractions all over the place.
The only thing LOST went full … was full retard.
Exactly, and the people who loved it are fucktarded…..
you never go full retard
Thats why they were saying that they were breaking new ground!!! They were going for full retard the whole time…..
Lost was a big fake out.
I know I’m not a core-member or anything, but is there gonna be a date when everyone says goodbye? I don’t wanna miss that…I mean I don’t want you guys searching for me in FSW where I’m the webmaster of a FRINGE SUCKS site and have to touch my original Logitech keyboard to remember how much mildy hate some of you and our experiences together….
Tyler, maybe a goodbye thread, not that I have meaning, but it would be nice…
We all DID say goodbye in our sideways…where were YOU?
I wasn’t ready yet…
OK…but bring your long knife next time.
Can we say goodbye to Lost and bury it next to Ana Lucia and Libby?
It’s over when it’s over. Not a minute before. But you can leave anytime you want. (like now) Just kidding!!! I figured I had to get one more dig in while I still could…..
Well since your older than Christian Shepard why don’t you open the effin door of light so I can go…Then I’ll really be gone…
I think that was Vegas on the otherside of that door though…
Well I was kinda scared to open it because I thought that it just might be the incinerator if you know what I mean. Since it’s Vegas though, lets GO!!! (opens doors, gets enveloped in flames) YOU LIED GODDAMMIT!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…..
You a funny man…
But who will stay to protect the web site?
Whosoever be the fattest, biggest failure.
Supported by whosoever be the shortest oldest with the most impressive googly rape eyes.
Simple.
Well then I’ll take on the role of support
Thats a perfect description of me. Even though, I wouldn’t want all the responsibility that goes along with it…..
Goodbye Dear Troll ^^…
I figure I will do another thread when the DVD comes out (which I won’t be purchasing BTW).
The site is paid up through Mar 31, 2011, when it will finally go offline and into internet oblivion.
Until then, I nominate Nico as the protector. Here drink this semi-discolored water.
Now your like me!
semi-discolored water is a good way to get schistosomiasis, just so ya know.
You make it sound like drinking piss…
Shouldn’t he volunteer? If I had time to do it I would be like you.
Rob “CPT(P) Preevyet”
Funny thing is, Nico’s running around with all this power and not even knowing it…..
Infected, for all his charm and wit, is spot-on that it’s time for this site to become a “Fringe Sucks” site – since it does. They said (in particular J.J. “golden touch” Abrams) a TON of things about what Fringe was supposed to be… episodic, “just like The Twilight Zone” gushed JJ) – and now look where it’s headed?
Crap writing to a show they’re very certainly canceling soon.
So hey, Tyler, how about this site transmografies into a “JJ Abrams Sucks” or at least Fringe sucks site? Heck, I’ll pay the domain registration costs…
BOOM
LOST… stupid
OK, since all these other shows have some stupid catch phrase I figure we need one too, so here is what I thought up. May the smoke be in you. OK so it’s stupid. So was the show. Maybe you can do better…..
“It worked”
followed by the sound of a cash register going ka-chinggg…
because it was all about making money… and…
“It worked”
Great answer but to realistic…..
The obvious choice is “live together, die alone.” I foresee this being used in lots of wedding vows.
I just vomited a little in my mouth
Holy shit Pukster, I think this is the perfect catch phrase for this show!!! If it looks like shit, smells like shit, you are probably gonna puke in your mouth. Just try like hell not to step in it…..
LOL, “the vomit hour”
Welcome to The Vomit Hour!!! “I’m your host Paul Pueky. We got a great show for you tonight folks. We’ll have you puking in the parking lot. Spewing in your seats. Emiting bile you didn’t even know you consumed. You will be heaving at the heavens. Blowing chunks on your neighbor, and buying Buicks all over your friends!!! So stay tuned folks where you will definitely toss your cookies on the next exciting episode of, The Vomit Hour!!!…..
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?!!
Fans of “Party Down” will get that reference…
Cool term, but don’t really fit the show to well…..
Hmmm, not bad but as the show went maybe it should be die alone, live in after life together…..
Catchphrase:
“Are you having a laugh?”
No I am being serious…..
Don’t tell me what I can’t do!
I would never tell you what you could or couldn’t do dude…..
The Finale Incident – Parts 1 and 2
DARLTON: Lost fans… whatever we’ve told you, we want you to understand one thing. You have a choice.
Disappointed Fans: What “choice”?
DARLTON: You can accept the finale, or you can go, and leave us alone. We want to count our money and go on vacation!
Disappointed Fans: Oh… so now, after all this time, you’ve decided to ignore us. For 6 seasons we have been “coming to the island”, and watching all the episodes and all we ever heard was you’d like the finale over and over.
We would listen to your instructions about all those unanswered questions, all those mysteries— that they would be answered and we never questioned anything. We did as we were told.
But when we dared to ask about the mysteries again, we were told, “You have to wait. You have to be patient.” But what about after the finale when we finally asked for the answers to all those mysteries?
The purgatory lovers marched around and acted just like Moses. How annoying! So what if they liked the finale and cried? Hmm? What was it that was so wrong with us? We didn’t like the finale, but we liked Lost. What about us?
DARLTON: What about you?
*stab Stab STAB*
It’s just a tv show. Peace, brotha.
Stab. Stab stab stab stab stabbity stab stab STAB.
.
.
.
Stab.
How deep is a stabbity? Even the question sounds deep. Oh brother I think I been up to long…..
I have it on good authority that if we nuke Darlton in 1977 none of this will ever have happened.
All we need now is the nuke.
A co-worker asked me what I was doing in 1980. I said I was graduating from high school. She said she was born in 1980.
I was was doing c-caine in a NY disco.
In 1980 I was on the fucking island. I still had one more year of my military hitch to go. I don’t know about now but back then they called us Howlies. We called them Moaks. Instead of saying bro they would say bra. Never quite got that…..
I’ll start assembling the pirate wheel I bought at a school auction into the side of my bathroom wall.
Puk, you’ll have to figure out how to combine the light and the water when turning your wheel. Do have any “very smart” neighbors that can help? I would, but I’m in Ohio. Ya think you could get to Cleveland with it, or just Tunisia?
Don’t worry, “I’m special”. I’ll find some way to calibrate it such that it doesn’t only transport people to remote desolate locations.
“Oh – Jacob told you and not me, WHY?!”
Ouch: It sounds like just another Sawyer / Miles gay fight…
What am I missing here? I mean besides a brain, because I already know that…..
you forget the little detail about going back in time an explode the nuke
i have an answer , but….its not time … yet .
But remember. We’re the good guys.
I believe a lot of LO$T fans would beg to differ…..
The time travel is taken care of. I just need a nuke. And don’t tell me to time travel back to the Manhattan Project or forward to the Nuclear Holocaust and steal one. Have you ever tried to navigate a time machine through that kind of tachyon flux?
LOL busting out the tachyon flux
Wow.
Q: So how many Darlton’s does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Jeez… why would you waste your time asking them to do that?
They wouldn’t need a stinkin’ light to begin with. They have the Island’s Inner Light to keep them safe.
A: Your not ready to know that yet.
Don’t tell me what I can’t screw!
Good one
Knowing them stupid fucks, they would probably drop the new bulb and it was the last one you had…..
What happened to Des and Penny’s kid?
What happened to Claire’s kid?
What happened to Jun and Sun’s kid?
What happened to Michael’s kid?
Don ‘t care…just kidding.
“What happened to Des and Penny’s kid?”
DesPenny went to heaven, the kid went to hell. Or DesPenny went to hell, and the kid went to heaven. It’s open to interpretation, so long as your interpretation sends at least one of them to hell.
“What happened to Claire’s kid?”
Severe psychological problems from being raised by a coven of harpies, including a recovered vegetable who hadn’t bonded with him, a fugitive, and an insane woman. As an adult, could not get an erection unless he was wearing a diaper and playing with “mommy,” usually a professional. Regression was complete at the moment of death, when he spiritually climbed back into his mother’s womb.
“What happened to Jun and Sun’s kid?”
Severe emotional problems from being raised by a cold, distant grandmother and an absentee grandfather. Went through a string of relationships looking for a “daddy,” each one more abusive than the last. Murdered at 26. Spiritually returned to infancy, so she could bond with daddy and be breastfed.
“What happened to Michael’s kid?”
The black kid? Who cares? Brown people on Lost don’t matter unless they’re banging white people.
Like the newsreader on Family Guy, Dalrton just plain don’t like coloured people.
Family Guy does Lost parody?
Ah, jezzzzzz Deus, that was great info dump – LMFAO!
I like taking a big dump myself ever so often, but that makes me wonder:
Where and how did the Losties go #1 and #2?
What if some of them were shy and couldn’t get any privacy at all in the jungle or anywhere else on the frackin island for that matter.
Unfortunately I know what that’s like…
“Where and how did the Losties go #1 and #2?”
Oh, I was waiting for someone to bring this up! Let the potty humor begin.
What I wanted to know is why the Losties never had to go at all? I gotta hand it to them. If I hold it for a couple of hours…. but six years?!
Where is one question, but how did they wipe? You gotta be careful what you use in a jungle.
Oh man, I have tore up the shit jokes all over the last year in this place…..
This was my very first shit joke on this site!!!

WOW I mean god was this a work of art or what boy golly geez oh wow what I mean is good god I can’t get over this episode the creativity that went into that wow new low is just mildly putting it I think that I could sit on the shitter and fart a more entertaining episode than that in fact i’m sure of it. ok here we go fade from black close up of an eye but not your regular eye their is something strange about this one pan back oh boy there it is it is an eye all right my brown eye sitting on the shitter next we hear oh no RIPP RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP RRRRIIIIPPP RRRIIP RIPPP AND THEN RRRRRRRIIIIIPPPPP RRRRRRIIIIPPPP RIP RRIIPP OH MY GOD PLEASE HELP US fade to black dumb noises LOST upsidedown and backwards….. and i think mine was way more entertaining an a clpff hanger ta boot…. up on stage AHEM umm I’d like to thank the acadamy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I sure have come a long way since then…..
The going of one and two…
It’s not a big deal for the Losties, because they lived on the beach. And I guess the hatches all head functional plumbing in them. But what about the island’s natives?
Jacob, I think, would have shat in the ocean. I don’t know why; I have never even set foot in an ocean, but I think it would be nice to shit in one. When he was too drunk or tired to stumble out into the jungle, I think he would’ve pissed against the side of his house. If that statue was made of limestone, two thousand years of urine could have weakened it sufficiently that the Ab Aeterno storm took it down.
The Others are a curious case. Some of them lived in the Barracks, but only from the 1980s onward. What of the ones who camped out in the jungle? What about the ones who lived in the Temple? You can’t tell me they didn’t defile Jacob’s spring at least once.
I have no idea how the MIB defecated, or if he even needed to at all.
Not only would the Losties not been able to have good potty hygiene, on the beach or out in the jungle, they would have looked unkempt.
None of this nicely shampoo’d hair or cleanly shaven faces. None of this always low humidity not causing bad hair days.
All those nice white teeth would have been turning yellow. Breath… don’t go there.
Kissing? Out of the question.
Clothes with poo spots. Holes.
Bug bites. Skin lesions. Pustules.
They wouldn’t have smelled good either.
They can just do that in the ocean. Clean up with sea water. Or may be fishy will come over for food. No need to wipe.
Lost bathroom humor…
“Oh my god, the Dharma shark just ate that log!!!” “That wasn’t no log dumbass, Hurley just shit over there.”…..
Some amendments/additions
“What happened to Claire’s kid?”
-govment’ came and took her babee
“What happened to Jun and Sun’s kid?”
-She was raised by the grandfather aka Mr. Roboto
What happened to Jack’s fucked-up kid?
John Locke fucked his shit up
You remind me this is a good example of how sucks the show was even for a so call “character driven” show.
Anyone remember Claire mysteriously followed the MIB/fake Christian and left Arron in the forest? Using the logic of fan bois, such mystery doesn’t matter because it is just a tool for Kate to raise Arron. So that Kate can lose Arron later in the supermarket and that became a reason for her to go back to the island.
Wow…good lord, that’s a really good twist for a “character driven” show.
First, such plot is soooooo cheap! Second, if the story has to go this way, any person can think of a better reason for Kate to go back to the island. For example, she was pregnant after having sex with Sawyer and therefore need to go back to look for the father for her son.
Just throw away the god damn mystery.
As Kate said “never ask me that again.”…..
Hey you fucking idiots, what you all fail to realize is that this show is CHARACTER DRIVEN. The mysteries are devices used to generate CHARACTER INTERACTIONS. This show has ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE CHARACTERS. You guys actually are a bunch of fuckin morons
Go away Carlton
Oh, I can tell we hurt your little feelings. We are so sorry. There there, Now you can go back to sucking Darlton’s ass now…..
You should read your post back to see how stupid this is.
What if on Law & Order, it had been about how the partners have a disagreement but in the end they are chums. But they don’t spend any time solving the murder. Oh but why, the mystery doesn’t matter does it?
It would have been canceled after two episodes.
I wish Lost had been canceled.
I think they would have too, if the writers hadn’t promised them the so called “shocking finale”. Now the whole DVD series as well as syndication is worthless. ABC themselves should be outraged.
Ya I made the L&O comparison while back. Instead of finding evidence and logically solving the crime, Det Ed Green goes on a killing spree and Jack McCoy throws a hissy fit and starts punching Adam Shif in the face repeatedly.
For a show about characters, these are about the most one-dimensional characters I’ve ever seen.
Even Tom and Jerry are more dimensional characters than Jackass and company. But, it is about the characters (of course) another lie from this useless producers/writers but, the best lie of all from this fags is when they said that they would not show the plane landing in LA, another lie of course!!!
Wellcome to the Alt-Universe Purgatory!!! How fuck up that sounds? I just heard it out loud and I found it very fuck up!!!
I am never watching anything from Carlon, JJ Abrahams and Darlon!! I am not even wasting my internet connection downloading anything wrote from this fucking liars!!
YOU 3 ARE THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTING THING ON TV I EVER WATCHED!!!
LOL you assigned a bandwidth embargo as well =P
Dickhead.
Did anyone say the show is a character driven show back in season 1?
I did!!! Oh, wait a minute. No, no I didn’t…..
Are you sure you’re not Jack on Oxycontin and Bourbon?
Thanks for setting us all straight, “You are all fucking retarded.”
Excuse the fuck out of me for dreaming big and being disappointed when the delivery was so small. It was like buying a Roman Candle and discovering it had a single Lady Finger in it.
What you don’t seem to understand is that this site has some of the biggest fans of the show there ever was, except…. they wanted something special. Something different.
But LOST failed. Arguing with you is pointless. If you are so wrapped up in character, how could you turn a blind eye to the origin of Jacob and Adam from Bonanza? (heh)
The child actors had me wishing she had killed the twins, not the mother. I would say that is bad character writing as well.
The characters in LOST were interesting because of what they were experiencing early on. As this situation deterioated into time travel (and I like time travel, usually) and schizoid plotlines, the characters weren’t lost, the story was. That’s when fans started falling away.
And the writers’ excuse for time travel? They wanted to show us the Dharma story. Well, fuck me, but they could have done that by having Dharma stories independent of the main characters and the occasional revelation of a newly discovered orientation tape. Deciding to use time travel to give background data was a poor decision in my opinion and created an chasm that can’t be bridged. It’s too fractured.
I applaud the many interesting ideas and seeds of LOST, but if you look closely, you will find most of these ideas are nothing new and were “adopted” by the writers, but then never fleshed out.
Coming to this site and calling intelligent critics “retarded” is an indicant of your own lack of critical thinking – so I am not surprised you are not ultimately disappointed in the series.
“a chasm”
“If you are so wrapped up in character, how could you turn a blind eye to the origin of Jacob and Adam from Bonanza? (heh)”
Also known as Jacob and Trapper John M.D.
Great come back, mate!!! This guy is just to square to understand how he fuck up this show so much!!!
This fuck peobably sits at home and watches soap operas all day living off welfare…..
Does anyone here actually MISS “LOST?”
Not in the slightest. It really passed its use by date in Season 2. The rest has just been for the retards and the emotional cripples out there.
LOL emotional cripples ie 16 year old girls
It’s funny you should ask that. Here it is Friday already and I think back to Tuesday night and I don’t think it even crossed my mind. Maybe I’ll try harder this comming up Tuesday night…..
It didn’t happen again. Thursday already again and it didn’t even cross my mind…..
I don’t because since the middle of season 4 I did not enjoy watching this show no more since I realize that became a science fiction show I only watched this show with the only objective of seen how much they can fuck up more this show and seriously the went even more higher than I could ever expect!!!
I am glad this shit is over for once and all!!
I too did not think the finale would suck this badly.
I feel like the show had a lot of potential. [All those mysteries could have been used to create a very interesting show.] So I guess what I miss is what the show could have been but never was.
But I’m glad it’s finally over!
Guys, you gots to go see this…it’s a LOST continuation:
youtube.com/watch?v=ACyV5-L5b18&feature=player_embedded
That must be why they didn’t want to do “Fat, Stupid, Uncle Round Eye.” I think it would have been much better. At least more original anyways…..
That was the most unfunny spoof ever. Here is an example of a good spoof
youtube.com/watch?v=v_mW8mBzmHo
Is this actually a spoof or a real movie? If it is just a spoof somebody done a damn good job…..
It’s a spoof. The actual movie is marketed as a suspense horror.
People..
Lost will be remembered as a show about getting lost for 6 seasons and cursing the writers who lost the plot and smartalecs rationalizing it all as being all about the characters and the emotional content.
Don’t forget about the big light hole. Oh, and the other big light your supposed to stay away from – not walk into. Everybody knows that…
I liked the article on prostitution. Kind of hits ya right where it counts…..
Go to losttalk dot net, season 6 sub-forum and the rating thread. There’s some good back and forth between the nutjobs and the opposition. Predictably, some of the apologists have the condescending attitude, but the opposition counters with effective, unimpeachable logic. Forum is not as hardcore as the other well-known fanboi sites, so there’s no deletion of critical comments.
Whoa buddy. I read one hundred of them, and there was way to much love for me to keep going. I really don’t get how these dipfucks can say “Oh, it was so great I cried, I don’t know how many times.” Then the fucks who were criticizing the show were only doing it half assed!!! I only read one person there that I felt really hated the show and everybody left her the hell alone. I can’t hardly blame them because she seemed down right ready to chew your head off just given half an opportunity to do so…..
Keamy is one of Russel Crows’s right hand men in Robin Hood. Those god damn teeth!
So the egg making Walken wanna be moved on to a different hood eh? Well hell with them beaver teeth he would be great for damming up any river. Or even gnawing a couple of trees down to block off a road…..
I would love to see – remember when SNL was good – an impression of Christopher Walken doing John Locke.
“Don’t, tell me (pause) WHAT I – can’t DOO”
Priceless.
They are filming a remake of Jimmy Stuart’s “Harvey” and Keamy is going to play the rabbit. A rabbit with a carrot gun.
That should be Russell Crowe!!! My name is Russell and only queers spell it with only one “L”…..
I mean queer as in being odd…..
I guess he may be gay then – smart ass.
Damn dude cut me a little slack eh!!! It was almost three o’clock in the morning. I have no idea why I was still up. OK, yes I do, but I’ll never tell…..
Most here would know this fact, but the character who plays Jacob did an excellent job portraying Rita’s shitty boyfriend in Dexter. That role showed his acting abilities. LOST writers dumbed him down considerably.
On my website I posted an explanation of LOST distilled down to a single graphic.
Many of the cinema-heads here will know what I am talking about.
ozarkghost.weebly.com/television-series-lost-explained.html
It sure sounds like a “MacGuffin” to me… exactly. Check that link out and do a search for the term.
With LO$T the whole damn show was a MacGuffin. I wonder if thats a first? A whole series thats MacGuffin filled with nothing else of any relavance either…..
Thanks to all who checked out my MacGuffin graphic page. For future visitors, I’ve added a link to the appropriate Wikipedia page that provides the MacGuffin history.
Well. Thats a pretty deep subject for my shallow assed mind!!! This is post 1100 and I an taking my ass to bed. Night ya’all…..
New theory. The characters didn’t matter.
Nothing matter on this show neither characters, neither answers, neither plot, neither making sense, neither going from logic and rational to science fiction.
That is the only theory, I wish I was wrong!!
I was being jocular to provoke some activity.
But now that I have been enlightened by this “MacGuffin” shit I think your theory is right. Nothing at all mattered. For those interested, look it up. I wasn’t aware as to how often this is pulled off.
Except In this case most of, if not all, the whole show, was the MacGuffin.
To the writers: go to your parties, drink to a really great trick you pulled. Drink that dirty brown water, get sick, hug a toilet.
To have so many people making theories for so long had to seem like a practical joke to them. Once a practical joke goes too far, the practical joker becomes a creep.
Yes indeed, I hope these jerks choke on a chicken bone. I hope it’s from Mr Clucks too. Is there really even a chicken joint by that name? I have been couped up in this small town for so long now I don’t even know if there is a real world out there anymore…..
I really wish I was wrong but, after watching 6 seasons of this show you realize that nothing matter at all!!!
You take for example the episode from Nikki and Paolo, how they tried to make us believe that they were characters since the beginning and you realize that nothing matter for this people neither the characters, cast, plot, making sense, etc nothing at all !!!! The only thing that matter to them is that they have to made up the biggest quantity of shit as possible so, we get more curious and keep watching the show!!! The only reason the made websites like Jorge’s Garcia Blog or Fuselage or DarkUFO or etc was to make us more confuse, more hook up, and more into the show so, they can get their millions of dollars and they can come out with a horrible ending and still say that was the best ending ever.
Thank you ABC I will never forget you, but like Britney Spears said once was “I can forgive but, I cannot forget”. No more JJ abrahams, Darlton, Carlton or anyone relate to Lost, never watching anything made from this fuckers, I will not even download anything from this, I just prefer not knowing than having another trauma like with Lost.
vote/rate LOST 0 – 10 at:
www . comingsoon . net right now!
give it a ZERO!
WTF?
10 out of 10 rating a clear majority at 32.3% of votes tabulated.
Jesus…and I guess THIS was how Obama got elected too?
Oy.
Funny though 0 out of 10 is in third place…..
I wonder why
IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!
PART 1
Darleton could have added overt humor to the show…any cool ideas guys?
I’ll start…Like Jackoff pissing into Locke’s water bottle behind his back.
Next?
IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!
PART 2
Darleton could have added a plot development out of the blue (hah) called ‘breaking the Fourth Wall.’
If any of the LOSTIES simply started looking at the camera, winked, smiled, talked, etc. to the TV audience, THAT would be really, really, really fracked up…or turn into sheer laughter.
So IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.
Anyone else?
LOST should have been a musical comedy?
I think the show would have been better (how could it have been worse?!) with a laugh track.
A great show like Mash had a laugh track. Why not Loust?
Sawyer: Son of a bitch.
Cue: Laugh track with guffaws
Been there done that a while back. Great idea then still a great idea now…..
OH, I see…
‘All of this has happened before and will happen again.’
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Now where the frack have I heard that before?
Yeah, it’s like this. What ever happened, happened because some like it hoth, and if you follow the leader you will find out he’s our you, through the life and death of Jeremy Bentham. Because we all know that without the variable of 316 is that Lafluer told the lie to the little prince and because you left, Jughead found out this place is death. So now we all know dead is dead because of the incident. Namaste!!! Season 5 wrapped up in a tight little package. Package, HA!!! No I am not gonna do season 6…..
Everytime Kate kisses a guy the audience does that exotic kiss sound
“OOOOOOOH”
Sun’s dad walks in on Sun and Jin in bed:
“OOOOOOOO”
“JIIIIIINNNNN!!!”
*Jin jumps out of window with bed sheet wrapped around him*
*laugh track*
How about…. each episode begins….
“(Ben’s voice) Lost was filmed before a live studio audience”
in The End …
Light goes out…
Locke: It looks like you were wrong. Goodbye, Jack.
Locke grabs his things, turns around and, walks right up to Maude (Bea Aurther) who has her hands on her hips.
Locke: Ngyaaaaa!
Audience: OOOOOOOOOOOOO. Chatter. Lots of noise, etc, etc….
Maude stands like a statue until the audience chatter dies down to deliver her line.
(You are not ready to know why Maude is standing there, or why Locke was afraid of her)
When will they release the Lost Holiday Special on dvd?
It wasn’t that bad. Boba Fett vs the smoke monster was pretty cool!
OK. Now you are ready to know why Maude was standing there. Or maybe you don’t wanta know.
She was standing there because she was Smokie’s wife. He had thought he had ditched her but that power went away when the stone butt plug was removed.
Smokie had forgotten their anniversary. He wanted to go to the bar and have a good time with his friends. He thought he was going to sneak out, and get away.
Audience: ooooooooooooooooooooo. He was a bad boy. You tell ‘em Maude…
Maude finally speaking once the audience dies down: Walter!
So now you know why he wanted to leave the island. It is the big secret they didn’t want you to know about.
And you know his name, too.
The end of the world would have come when Maude tore open time-space to find him. And she would have, too! You don’t mess around with Maude.
Right on, Maude.
And then came Maude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have we all let go and moved on? Or have we just begun?
Most of us got a really big trauma with this show, for us to get over it is going to take us some time !!!
I knew “something bad was going to happen” after they started the alt-LA BS. But, even so, I’m still a bit in shock. NO RESOLUTION!
I was also into the X-files’ Alien/Black oil thing, and saw that end without finishing the story as well. I still hate Chris Carter. He also let the show falter after he was declared a success early on.
But to think this was just one big Macguffin, is like saying it was one big joke. None of it mattered in the least – HA HA.
X-Files wasn’t as bad b/c every episode generally had resolution. But I remember after a certain point (that Halloween episode where they are stuck in a Haunted House) the show just started to go downhill.
Egg McGuffin?
Exactly!!! Pick one up at your local McDarltons today…..
I am a pretty die hard fan of the site, so I’m pretty sure I will stick it out till the bitter end. Kicking and screaming into the abyss of internet has been. It does appear though that we are slowing to a snails pace. I must admit it has been way more fun being here than it ever was watching that stupid show…..
Why must the end be bitter, bitte?
I guess what I am trying to say, is that once the site goes down all will be……….BOOM……….LO$T.
OK, we got Jackass laying on his back in a bamboo thicket. We see the Ajira jet fly over. Let’s pick up their story from here.
As they fly above the surface of the island, a feeling of relief floods the passengers of the Ajira jetliner. Kate starts to cry, unnoticable to the others, as she thinks about the fact of leaving the Jackass behind, without properly pinning the tail on the poor son of a bitch. Sawyer wonders about who will be the first girl to feel his desires when he finally reaches home. Miles thinks about what he will do when he gets back. He wonders if he should keep the old ways of ripping people off? Or should he start anew and just figure an honest way to make a living. Claire worries if Aaron will except her into his life. Frank wonders if he will ever get to fly again after crashing the chopper and now the jet. Richard has no idea what he will do. He really has never done anything. He is wondering if putting ships together in bottles is actually an occupation or just a hobby.
Frank suddenly has this strange feeling in the deepest part of the pit of his stomach. The feeling begins to swell as something strange appears just ahead of them on the horizon. It appears to be. No, no it can’t be!!! It’s an island. Frank knows it is not just any island. It’s the same island they had just left. “It can’t be” he says to no one imparticular. Richard looks at him and says “what’s the matter Frank?” “Look” Frank says “it’s the goddamned island!” Richard looks at the island that is slowly coming into view and asks, “how can that be?” Frank looks at him and says, “I used the same coordinates I used when we came on the freighter. The island has moved since then, and I don’t know the bearing I need to get us away from here!” Richard says “so that means we are just going to go around in circles.” Frank angrily says “no shit Clyde how the hell did ya ever guess that?” Richard starts to explain, and Frank just gives him a very stern stare. Richard looks away and nervously starts to look for something to mess with.
Miles hearing a commotion coming from the cock pit turns around and says to Sawyer that he thinks that there might be something wrong. Sawyer with a puzzled look, gets up and starts heading for the cock pit. Miles is right behind him. The two women look at each other in bewilderment. Sawyer upon reaching the cock pit begins to ask just what the fuck is going on. Before he gets the chance to, he clearly sees out the windshield exactly what the problem is. “Son of a bitch” he says “is that what I think it is?” Frank says “none other then.” Sawyer asks “well just what in the hell are we gonna do about that, Cappy?” “How the hell do I know!!!” Frank says very angrily. “Well your the captain of this here ship Mr. Dick, you damn sure outta know!!!” says Sawyer feeling the anger growing from deep inside. “You wanna fly this piece of shit!” Frank screams at Sawyer. Sawyer then with the rage of the devil himself, uncontrollably grabs Frank by the head and neck. Miles and Richard start yelling and grabbing at Sawyer to pull him off, but it is to late. For in the process of pulling him off we hear the unmistakeable sound of Franks neck pop, and he goes lifeless at the controlls in Sawyers death grip.
The plane starts to descend rapidly. No one knows what to do. You can hear the two women screaming incessantly from their seats in the front part of the fuselage.
Back on the island we see Jackass still laying on the ground, with that stupid shit eating grin on his face. Vincent laying right beside him. We see the eye of Jackass go closed. He is finally at peace with himself. Suddenly from the distance there is a very strange noise. Vincent gets up and tears his ass just as fast as a dog can run. The strange noise is getting louder and louder!!! The noise is unbearable. The eye of the Jackass quickly comes open again, just in time to see a jumbo jet heading straight for him. He cannot move. The jet crashes to the ground right on the top of the poor Jackass. This time though, there are no survivors!!!!!
Epic Win
hahaha that’s great!
When i read “Sawyer wonders about who will be the first girl to feel his desires when he finally reaches home. Miles thinks about what he will do when he gets back.”
I thought it would be “Miles wonders who will be the first guy to feel his desires”
In the extra footage on the DVD you get to see the plane crash into hurley and ben as they are ‘experimenting’
Maybe they didn’t have time for that so they just showed all the junk of the plane crash all over the place and then the credits.
By the way, ABC tacked on those views of the plane wreckage at the end because they thought the viewers might need to decompress. The producers say they didn’t end it that way. Probably a change to the DVD.
hxxp://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/lost-series-finale-15647/
But the first part of your story actually looks like something viewers would have wanted to see. This is why you will never have worry about them taking your idea without giving credit.
In terms of the convenient jet which saves the viewer favorite not-red shirts, which impossibly took off but made for added excitement for viewer involvement. Cinematographers, what is this device called? They use it a lot. It gets the viewers to say “go go go…”.
If instead they got away from the island, I would have like to see is that once they were outside the influence of the island, that Richard would start to age ala Twilight Zone style. He becomes an old man, then a shriveled corpse, then a skeleton, then finally the seat is filled with dust. They have real erie music playing while this happens.
Miles puts his hand through the dust and says “Now I am with her”.
Nahhh, they’d never do that. I must have my head up my ass thinking they’d ever do something of twilight zone quality.
Your ending is better. Just crash the damn plane and put us all out of our misery.
Great idea with the Richard thing!!! Also way funny, good job…..
I know Ed Muse and Sam G probably love to google themselves during their free time so in case they find themselves here i should say you two are the biggest fanboy cunts around.
I endorse this hate-filled rhetoric.
I second the endorsement…..
Motion passed!
Next order of business – did the remaining polar bears later get used as somewhat animated tampons for the giant statue that was rebuilt by Hurley and Ben?
That is one gnarly tampon. If you see a red bear running through the woods, don’t pet it.
Why are Damon and Carlton hiding? They don’t want to face the fans?
Put yourself in their shoes for a moment, and I think you will see the light. Don’t stay there for to long because somebody might mistake you for one of them and shoot you…..
Let them pray I never found them on the street, because if I do I will introduce them my big fist.
Lost is like Star Wars. The first 3 were the best. The last 3 – season 4, 5 and 6 sucked!
I agree completely!!!!
I could not explained better!!! Top notch!!
Kudos! Genius!
What did Miles do with the diamonds?
Is this another Egg McMuffin?
What did other writers and directors think of Lost?
Is it true that Lucas and Spielberg loved it?
I heard the Lucas congratulating them on hiding the plot of Lost till the very end. “the way he did with Star Wars.” What? You gotta be kidding me, Lucas. You didn’t even know Vadar was Luke’s father when he made the first movie. You didn’t even know whether it would make it in the theaters. No one ever knows that until it does.
I read that Lucas said R2D2 was the MacGuffin.
Say what? R2D2 became an integral part of the story. Lucas didn’t have any MacGuffin’s. He ends up explaining everything ad nauseum.
OK, so I may be a High School drop out. A half retarded hillbilly, with long hair that just don’t cover up my red neck. (kinda like what Widmore had back in the ’50s) Unemployed, living out in the middle of nowheresville Arizona. One thing I have always enjoyed was reading a good book. Piers Anthony is one of my favorite authors. Now that dude can tell a story, let me tell you what!!! The Blue adept was a fantastic series. I thought anyway. I have read quite a bit of Stephen King’s work, but in my opinion he is hard pressed when it comes to an ending. He puts out a great tale for 90 percent of the novel, but it seems like he really struggles with that last 10 percent for some reason. Still that’s just my opinion, and we all know the old saying I’m sure. I have gotten lazy in my book reading for the last year or two, but it kind of comes and goes. I want to thank you guys for your comments on my take of what should have happened to the Alira flight. That no way in hell would have ever got off the ground. Every now and then I will do some stupid take on how I thought something should have gone. I have a notebook somewhere that is full of short stories that come up a little short. Story of my life I guess, because that’s what the old lady has told me for years now…..
Now I know why all the women on LOST never bitched about NO MAKEUP or even used any:
THEY WUZ ALL DEAD!
Any tampons or Kotex, ladies…
Euuuuuuuu!
Just started watching The X-Files again to make sure I haven’t completely forgotten what it feels like to watch a good show. Seth Green is in S01E02. Was anyone else aware of this?
I just watched it the other day and thought the same thing. At first I thought he and his girlfriend were the two lights flying around and that they were aliens or government experiments.
As a teenager who sees supersecret test planes. I was aware of it. Although I didn’t become aware of his name until several years after I saw it.
A spot on article of the bait and switch Darlton crapped on the fans.
hxxp://nymag.com/arts/tv/reviews/66293/index1.html
make sure to read all 3 parts of the article. lots of nuggets of truth.
What made Lost fail? It’s possible Cuselof’s story was simply so Byzantine no one in the creative team could connect the dots, even with a two-year head start. It definitely didn’t help that the show shifted from a diverse cast to the repeated tableaux of white guys bickering about fate while the female characters were either shot or (worse) congealed into bland love interests…
Finally, in the last fifteen minutes, the writers—in an emotionally powerful and also mawkishly manipulative turn—gathered our characters in an interfaith church, the antechamber to heaven. There Jack’s father, now a loving guide (rather than an abusive drunk), told him, and us, to let go. No wonder it was touching: It was grief therapy directed at us as fans…
The sad thing, really, is that this wave of nostalgia, however powerful it was in the moment, sunk the show it was meant to mourn. Once upon a time, Lost faced outward, toward the world. In its early seasons, it wasn’t just dumb, feel-good fun…
But by the end of its run, Lost, for all its dorm-room chatter about good and evil, had become something different: It was a hit series about the difficulties of finding an ending to a hit series. Cuselof had a deadline for years, which should have allowed them to pace out their puzzle’s solutions. Instead, we got cheesy temple vamping and a bereavement Holodeck. It became a show about placating, even sedating, fans, convincing them that, in the absence of anything coherent or challenging, love was enough.
The day after the finale, Lindelof tweeted again, in the soothing cadences of a preacher: “Remember. Let go. Move on.” Hey, Lindelof: Done.
Great article!!! She told it from a very logical point of veiw. So I guess that there is still a faint hope for mainstream media after all. Well maybe not…..
A great, intuitive article.
“a sentimental sleight-of-hand” [The ending]
That’s putting it mildly.
I would also add, LAZY, TRITE, and a hundred other adjectives.
But, that also explains the entire 6th season. When I think of that asinine alt-sideways BS, I still get sick.
“Remember. Let go. Move on.”
Hey Lindelof, FUCK YOU!
Don’t forget about Cuse…..
I know I’m late to the game here, but I am still fuming about the “amazing” Finale of Lost.
My only saving grace is that I didn’t waste years of my life watching it from the beginning; instead, I watched all the seasons over several months this year.
But, I feel the pain of everyone who invested years in it, hoping it would not let them down.
I am not even going into why it was the final episode was so bad; everyone on here has pretty much summed up my feelings.
At least I can come on here and have a good laugh at all the comments at the show creators’ expense. Thanks for the therapeutic laughter everyone.
I don’t know nothing about any therapeutic laughter, but I do know that there are some of us that belong in therapy…..
amen to that.
This place was interesting when turkeys were running about and indy rockers from san diego were riffing on the awfulness of it all. Then came ma and pa douche, or meister, or whatever their shitty names are and ruined it, no?
That is when all was lost… for me.
It was entertaining at times, but as life reminds us intimacy breeds contempt, and the more I came to know the shitty program and the lame posters the more I found whylostsucks sucked. It had its moments, true, and this is the essence… knowing those moments… ciao!
Lmeister hasn’t posted in years.
It kinda makes you wonder what happened to everybody. I especially liked asadshame. He found this site right before I did. The fanboys didn’t much like arguing with him for some reason. I really don’t know why Tyler kept this site going. For almost a whole year after the site started it never got over 50 posts. Well once. Even then most were very condescending and down right mean at times. Ma and Pa Lmeister for some reason felt a need to be moderators of the site. It had a tendancy of pissing people off most of the time. Seems like you never knew where they stood though. People would say the episode sucked and they would defend it. Other times when people thought it wasn’t all that bad they would say it sucked. Laurent seemed to be one of there major targets. Can’t really blame him for leaving. Seems though that the influx of fanboy criticism about this site was in the very near future. The site had been found. Before this though there was a short peroid where there was a troll or two along with the hardcore fanboi who had to tell everybody that they were gay and to go commit suicide. Then the hate for this site hit like a ton of bricks. As season 6 reared its ugly head and revealed what we at this site had known for a long time. LO$T truely sucked. I will finish with a post from the past that kind of tickled the old funny bone.

Okay, so I watched the episode and as usual thought it sucked, but then again I’ve pretty much checked out on this show completely so my opinion shouldn’t hold much weight… BUT, am I alone here or is there a real shades of “Scooby-Doo” vibe coming on around that island?
We’ve had stories about dynamite, slaves being used to mine things and when the castaways were captives they were being forced to break rocks, leading me to think that there’s some sort of fantastic element being mined on the island. An element so amazing that a group of crooked miners decided to prevent anyone from coming to their island by creating the legend of a wicked and scary group known as The Dharma Foundation.
Then, just in case someone still was brave enough to try and explore the island they created a “Smoke Monster” using a system of pulleys, two flashlights and a broken tambourine.
I predict that the final episode will involve “Ben’s” rubber mask being pulled off to reveal Old Man Jenkins… Or “Anthony Cooper,” whatever. I also predict he’ll say “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids and your dog” and then Vincent will bark and everyone will laugh.
Don’t ya just love it…..
I read the NY Times review (nymag.com/arts/tv/reviews/66293/index1.html) recommended above and it was good – full of big words and all that.
Made me think to ask you all a serious question that’s been bugging me (oh shit here it comes now); bear with me guys:
IF the sideways world was a fig newton of the dead LOSTIES pre-heaven/hell waiting room and all of that mystical stuff, could someone seriously tell me this before we shred the shit out of it:
Why did the ISLAND have to sink at all?
If this was purgatory and a dream-state waiting room to resolve personal relationships and all of that, why did the island have to be in the deep six?
I know it might be simple to some of you great thinkers here ☺, but it just doesn’t make any sense the more I think about it.
Perhaps that’s the unintended point.
I had mentioned this confused me as well, and I realized that the sunk island at the beginning of season 6 was a distraction to think that the end of season 5 tied to this. But as we know, that scene led next to the alternate-815 which hit turbulence but did not crash. Since this is where the purgatory story began, it is the beginning of a new story, and there didn’t need to be any island whatsoever.
Or did the “dead” island also go to purgatory?
The real jump from the end of season 5 was back to the hatch crater, such that either they fulfilled destiny, or that time refused to be changed. There may have even been a Jules Verne time paradox here, buy I don’t think the writers even know who Jules Verne is. Giving a hint of what happened here would have been nice. Instead, dropped subject. So what else is new?
I don’t want to get mixed up too much in this because reading some of the posts above, there is a strong thread that the island was “real”. As in, if it wasn’t just a story, you could take a plane right now and go and find this island on the “real earth”.
There was a scene somewhere in the show where they brought (the real) Locke’s father to the island. They didn’t say how they did this. But his father said the last thing he knew he was in a high speed automobile crash.
The speed at which he arrived there would have been difficult to cross half a continent and then by sub. I took this as evidence that the island was at least some sort of purgatory level in and of itself and he arrived there instantaneously as needed.
(Ben described it as a door, which when opened, behind it would be what ever you wanted. Dropped plot line.)
In fact it was at this point I thought I had solid evidence that it was an afterlife situation story of some kind. I was still interested in details and how everything would play out. In retrospect… very little played out. Horrendous story telling. Bah!
You bring up a very good point with Anthony Cooper. When he was tied up on the Blackrock and John was talking to him. He asked John if he knew where he was at. Then told him exactly where they were at. He said that they were in HELL!!! I, like many others had already had the purgatory thought run through my pee brain. This though put a bit of a different aspect on things. So I started thinking of the island more as hell itself. Then things started getting extreamly convoluted beyond sensibility even. People getting killed without actually dieing. With the whole getting off the island thing and for some stupid reason, the needing to lie about it. I had enough of the bullshit. Jackass with that stupid looking beard sent me right over the top with the “WE GOTTA GO BACK” bullshit. Why the fuck not tell everybody that they had lied and have help getting everybody rescued. That would have been to easy though, so I quit watching for awhile. When I did start watching again, I could never get into it like before. It had LO$T its appeal. Untill I found this site that is. Then I anticipated every episode just so I could come here and comment about just how asinine the show had become…..
Before and around this time, they had Ben as though he had some sort of powers.
He had information on everyone down to precise life events. He seemed to be able to procure anything he wanted. He was able to cure botox’s sisters cancer.
Then all the sudden, all that went away, and he was just a sorry ass old coot. They made so many right angle turns in this show it drove me nuts.
The only reason I am glad I watched the whole series is because I got to see this phenomenon from beginning to end (that being this wild fan involvement etc.)
It may be the last of it’s kind and have ramifications on the future of television.
This “phenomenon” is a monumental disappointment that fell flat on it’s face. I hope that is how it will be remembered.
I don’t think that there is any other way of remembering it…..
Well if we’re talking about the island sinking, how about in the very beginning when the beach apparently tilted and a whole pile of wreckage ended up underwater? Remember that? It’s before Sayid and Hurley sit and listen to music from the 1940s. Plot holes? More like one bigass motherfucking plot hole with a wafer-thing crust around the edge with the word “plot” written on it.
I think the island was never “real” to the real world.
It was real to Jack in another dimension, in his mind or because Jacob wanted it that way.
Lost was partially based on the short story, “Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge” where they main character imagined a part of his life then died in a hangman’s noose.
I think the writers wanted what Jack saw to be all in his mind at the beginning. He was supposed to die in his suit in the same bamboo patch where he landed because he didn’t really move from that location.
The fans guessed it right away at the beginning so the writers changed it to “the island was real” and changed Jack’s clothes.
But we all know it was purgatory the whole time now.
Inherited Tiger, could you find the episode number where the wreckage went underwater?
I started watching Loust about the time of the hatch and didn’t see the first so many episodes.
If the wreckage was gone and then back again at the end of The End, then that kind of nails that the whole island experience was illusion on some level.
Episode 2 or 3 of Season 1 I believe. Whichever one of the first 3 (maybe 4) it is where they end up listening to the oldie timie radio. Pretty sure it’s 2 or 3. If you find one of those anal retentive episode recap sites- they’ll find it for you.
BTW that isn’t the only first 4 episode anomaly- there are lots more. The original French transmission and how they triangulate it- impossible- that could be sloppy ignorant writing, or a “clue”, the death of the copilot, the splashing sound the “monster” makes as it “stomps” through the jungle…. and so on.
“Persons Unknown” on NBC was 10 times worse than Lost! It looked like a bad Twilight Zone or far worse Outer Limits.
LOL
We have control of your television set…..
I’m not going to watch this. It already sounds boring.
If it were to survive for a couple of years and it was getting raves, then I might watch it in syndication. But I am not going to get LOST-ified again.
If it was a few days mini-series, I might because I know they would have had to thought up the end already.
I refuse to watch it too. My old lady watched it though and she said it was pretty slow and draggy. She also said that going into it knowing JJ Abrams had his hand in it she wasn’t expecting to much…..
The last ever episode of the original black and white Outer Limits, “Probe”, is clearly one of the things LOST ripped off in a big way.
When I was a kid I loved the outer limits!!! Of course if I were to watch it now it will have lost a lot of its appeal. But back in the 60s, let me tell ya, it was top notch…..
It was good enough for James Cameron to use two of its episodes as the plot for Terminator…
If the flash sideways was a place they made together to find each other why was Ilana there?
She did not show up in the afterlife so why put her in there?
And why was Keamy and the other people after Jin and Sayid there?
Makes no sense.
I don’t get/care about the finale. But I gather the island was purgatory, the alt sideways was Purgatory 2/Darlton’s only way out. Correct?
There are more shows coming up that are copying Lost. Another one I think is called The Event.
I wonder if all these shows will get canceled because no one will watch after being burned by Lost?
I am not even wasting my time watching that shit.
I wonder how many sites upset with Lost’s ending are determined to rewrite the finale?
The fanboy’s aren’t gonna like it.
Taking out DarkUFO the rest would do it, for sure!!
I wonder what “real” well known science fiction writers think of Lost that hated the purgatory?
I would like to see how they would have written the ending?
Lost – The show all about characters.
If they wanted a show only about characters all 6 years could have been in the flash sideways.
Take the island totally out of the story. We could have seen Jack and friends in the church for 6 years smiling at each other and looking at the ceiling!
Boom
L O S T…
If I wanted to watch a show that was character driven, based, or whatever you want to call it. I would sit around and watch fucking soap operas with my old lady. Since LO$T was a fairy tale though, it was OK at best…..
Which was the worst episode of season 6 and why?
All of them because the Smoke monster been Lock / The Devil was the lamest answer of all, even worst than the whispers.
Season 4, 5 and 6 Suck Cock!!! Since the time travel crap I LOST all respect from this show!!!
I don’t get the hate on TT part…I am an amitted TT enthusiast, but had the show kept Dharma and the TT stuff as a main plot arc, I believe this show could have succeeded more…Using the TT element to see various things in the history of the island, hell even leading to a scenerio where it was our Losties who created alot of the calamity on the island made more sense…I mean Richard being ageless because he was sent back via TT or Rose and Locke becoming healthy because the plane crashed in a time-loop where they’re actual off-island bodies were healthy sounds alot cooler than “Jacob did it”…Oncethe TT got brushed aside for the Jacob and MIB story that’s when I began my silent cringe…
For me TT represent only one thing on this show, going from rational and logic to sci-fi that is why for me TT Suck cock!!!
To declare an episode is the worst, is to state that the others are better. And to declare any S6 episode as ‘better’ would mean you are clinically insane.
Damn dog, you took the words out of my mind!!!
The worst thing is that there was not an episode I like on Season 6, just watched them from obligation.
I just kept lowering my standards until some of the shows were good. But by that point I just considered them to be Discovery channel specials on the cannery islands or Tijuana.
Across the Sea for obvious reasons.

Yeah, that’s a great message.
Also main characters are entitled to a free ticket to a sweet afterlife no matter what because they’re main characters. Their lives and deaths matter. Those of secondary characters or (*gasp*) mere extras absolutely don’t.
Locke gets a happy ending, even if he killed a woman he didn’t even know in cold blood because a ghost told him to and never showed any remorse about it. She was from the freighter, and that was enough: she had it coming. Let’s never mention her again. Naomi who? Let’s just be happy Locke gets his recognition as a great guy.
Let’s never mention again the other survivors of both crashes either. Oh, it sure was a big deal to protect the other survivors of the first crash, in the first seasons, but only because it cemented Jack’s (then Sawyer’s, if briefly) position as “leader”. They got all killed unceremoniously by Others during the time jumps, and nobody mentioned them again. ‘Think Jack, the leader, would ask about them, once he got back to the island? Nope. Nobody cares. Let’s not blame the Others, let’s not blame Jacob. Just like nobody cares about the Ajira survivors, who didn’t survive long. Who killed them all and why? Who cares, right? Besides, it’s obvious it was just the writers, as usual. When you don’t know what to do with a character, just kill him/her (or send him/her off the island if he/she’s a kid). That’s great writing.

Michael Vartan on ‘Alias’ 2.0: There’s only one Sydney Bristow
A “reliable insider” at ABC said preliminary talks were circulating about creating a reboot of J.J. Abrams hit spy series “Alias,” according to an E! Online report.
At this point, there’s no word whether original stars Jennifer Garner, Michael Vartan and Victor Garber would be involved in any remake, or even whether Abrams would return (he’s currently working on the new spy drama “Undercovers” for NBC).
I just can’t for the life of me figure out what the problem is with a little originality anymore!!! Don’t these fuckers have any imagination? For the money these fucktards make, I would have imagination beyond belief!!! This shit of remakes just drives me crazy…..
USA Network has a new Show called Covert Affairs about a female spy in the CIA.
The female playing the spy has big lips and looks like she could be Jennifer Garner’s sister.
Another new original show?
A remake of the show in the same decade as the original? How retarded. I have not seen the original Alias, nor have I any intention to.
It doesn’t matter if the island was real or a purgatory.
Both outcomes suck in their own filthy way.
If it was real… forget about it. .. you know the questions very well.
If it was purgatory, they spend their ghostlife in there to gather experience points or love/friends/crap points or whatever you call it for getting into higher levels.
Some are special, who have a lot of mana/crap points, and some are noobs, which can’t gather enough of lovejizz-mana, therefore they die and loose a level.
The purgatory is obviously a sadist game, with rules, that change all the time.
There is no IF, the Island was REAL, period end of sentence…No matter how shitty you believed this show to be it’s clearly revealed that everything that happened on the island was REAL…Anyone still even giving “the whole thing; EVERYTHING was purgatory” consideration is either misinformed or without credence, which is fair considering many here use the fact that they only read summaries or barley pay attention to aspects of the show or watch it while they’re cleaning the kitchen or whatever else as a badge of honor…If you take nothing else away from an admittedly failed potential of a show called LOST, it’s that the island stuff was REAL…There is no debate…Because if there is a debate, then everyone was in purgatory before the original 815 plane even took off, because if they weren’t Ben and Juliet saw a purgatory plane IN PURGATORY rip apart after their book club meeting was over…If you believe this, u are dumb…
Therefor My Name is Cleveland Brown…
I like your rant.
You give convincing evidence that the island is a real place. However, there is so much evidence to counter that, which convinced me that it was, rather, some ethereal place.
I don’t want to fight about it.
It just shows what a convoluted mess the whole thing is. People could argue this show for years. They have to be lovin’ all the attention.
I was going to leave it alone, but I can’t. It is such an incredible phenomenon. I hope it is an anomaly that never happens again.
Because normally when a show become this confusing, or off track, people stop watching and it gets cancelled. That didn’t happen here and I don’t know why. People had to know they were being led on. 10 to 15 million viewers? I can hardly believe it!
Cleveland, don’t swell Darlton’s head at the expense of yours.
P-U-R-G-A-T-O-R-Y is stuck to L-O-S-T like flypaper no matter what, how or why. Tarred and feathered with purgatory, they are.
They should cash in some of the 15 minutes of fame they earned with that stinker finale and do some funeral home infomercials?
Could you maybe stop fucking retrolling me now Tyler [or whoever]? Do u actually wanna have a conversation because at this point I have nothing to gain…Neither do you, so fuck off you FAKE INFECTED…God I know I’m cool and smart but shit dude the game is over…

==============
@noshitsherlock – We share the same affliction…It’s a show you can’t leave alone…Even a site of “haters” will discuss it ’s merits continuously until godaddy plucks this site outta the sky next April…It is what it is…
Despite the fact that this show powned me and despite the fact I saw the writing on the wall for a time, I’ll still miss it…I’ll miss certain actors, certain scenes, certain storylines even-though I know how fucked most of it is… They got me and they got 99.995% of this site too (Evidenced by each non-stopping post to a backdrop of web ad revenue)…Doesn’t make you a leper, but in any event, despite all the WTFness, the island was REAL, there is no debate…Even if it’s REAL stupid, there is no debate (Desmond, Ben and Juliet’s ENTIRE storyline is absolutely obsolete if you believe this)…I hope you atleast understand this…
Oh of course I do. It is a very logical split. At first it had me down because of the pathos of last 5 minutes of The End. This is exactly the trap they set and eventually realized this. Many are still stuck in this trap.
I signed off but kept lurking. A lot of this has to do with me inspecting my own pysche. I’m kind of weird like that. Plus WhyLostSucks lets me express a bit of my juvenile side as well, which is why I like it and started to post again. This is one of the funniest forums I’ve ever been on and it will be sad to see it go. (Can’t wait for the DVD thread!)
After having had a few days to think about it I realized it boils down to two choices. Either the whole thing was an after death experience, or the island adventures are real and only season 6 was the after death experience.
The problem with taking the former stance is that it nullifies everything. As you say, all the characters and plot would be obsoleted.
The problem with the latter is then if those things all matter then why didn’t they tie up all the loose ends they created and leave us all hanging.
You chose the latter. Have you chosen wisely? (The old knight asks in Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail) Going this route means remembering LOST with a lot of empty plot holes which will never be answered.
(I don’t know if I should say this, oh well, I’m an ass so I’ll say it). I believe the reason they didn’t answer so much is because the island was ethereal and the answers don’t matter. There, I said it. I chose the former and I haven’t shriveled up yet. It could still happen.
You can flame me if you want but I’m tellin’ ya brother, there is too much conflicting information, there could be a forever war on the net about this.
In a nutshell folks are looking for order in the chaos those guys created.
An airliner broke apart at 30,000 feet.
Then, some of the passengers met at a church before going to heaven.
Now wasn’t that easy?
Yes! You figured it out!
Smack down!
Now I seem to have a problem with the plane falling apart at 30,000 feet. I am not sure where this information came from. As I seem to recall when Ben saw the plane split into 3 pieces it didn’t look like the jet was but 250 maybe 300 feet in the air. If even that high. If that aircraft had broken apart at 30,000 feet, the 3 sections would fall from the sky many miles from each other. Not only that but the possibilities of surviving a crash of that magnatude are less than slim to none. As a matter of fact the chances of survival are zero. zilch, nada, aint gonna happen, forget about it…..
For the sake of conversation, let’s say the “Incident” caused the plane to break-up in mid-air. Why would the the plane be at 250 feet? The height of a 25/30 story building, really? By the way, the std. landing pattern at an airport is 500 ft. The average cruising altitude is 30,000 feet.
Now Smokie, let’s say you are correct, which is a huge stretch by anyone’s imagination (except Darltons), what do you think the chances are of surviving a drop from a 25/30 story building would be? Hold that thought for a sec.
How fast would you say they were going – what did it look like to you on TV?
A controlled landing with flaps is at approx. 150-180 MPH for a jetliner. How fast is falling down out the sky while you were once traveling at 600MPH? (average cruising speed) I don’t know…
OK, so it really doesn’t matter anyway does it?… they all died, and most went to heaven. There was no “incident.” That was all made up Limbo stuff.
Don’t get me wrong here!!! I was just basing my comment on the scene where everybody was standing around watching the jet break apart, although chances of survival at that altitude may have increased, they were at best extremely slim to none. I refuse to say that you are wrong on the way you see it to be. Because in my mind the show ended just like they said it would. “In LO$T fashion” which we all know that means it to be very vague and deceiving without a practical explanation…..
You’re stuck in retrolled P-U-R-G-A-T-O-R-Y
@noshitsherlock – I think I’ve chosen quite wisely…If you believe it was all purgatory you can’t believe that Ben and Juliet saw a plane rip apart, or that Desmond made that plane rip apart…It’s really quite simple despite the quagmire of bullshit you might feel you have to sift thru…If you believe the plane that Dez, Juliet and Ben were not on yet saw, caused to crash was a purgatory plane in purgatory then the show was purgatory before Jack’s crew ever crashed…In which cause you are dumb…
If thinking the plane was 250 feet in the air makes you think EVERYTHING was purgatory fine, I still believe that is dumb assessment at grasping for straws…
I didn’t commit to the term purgatory, I used the term ethereal.
Originally I thought it was Hell. When Anthony Cooper instantly appearing on the island after he had been in a high speed car crash was evidence to that. AC said he thought they were in Hell, even.
Ben had powers of some kind up to that point. Then they turned him into a sniveling brat. I liked him the old way.
Some cultures believe in levels of hell. What term you want to use for these levels is your call.
In The End, Christian Shepard said “there is no ‘now’ here”. Presumably this would be true on all levels. Then in that case, everybody in that island world, everybody who has ever lived, could be at some place together there. That would include the island and the mainland experiences.
In that case when the plane full of people who had died in the past or future, was observed to be crashing, all the island observers would also already have died at some time in the past or future.
Hey, don’t blame me, they made the rules. I’m just applying them.
All your base are belong to us!
The thing about a purgatory situation is that anything is possible!!! Nothing has to be feasible or relavant because it’s purgatory. Absolutely nothing has to make any sense what so ever. Hmmm that sounds just like a show I used to watch. I think the name of it was LO$T…..
Thinking EVERYTHING was Purgatory doesn’t make sense…DO you think it is possible that LOST can be as fucked up as it is yet still have some semblance, some thread of tangibility? I know you don’t, but I do…
Darlton, as disingenuous as those two guys were//are, they didn’t want you to leave the show thinking it was ALL a snowglobe…There is more than enough there to figure this out, but again at this point it’s just the lesser of two bashings…
I still say it would have been better to say that the island was purgatory and just apologize to everybody saying, would you have watched it if we would have told you that you were right from the start. If they would have chose this route I would have regained some respect for them. As I think a lot of other people would have too. They chose a different avenue by creating this flash shitways so “it” could be the purgatory instead. Then to rub their loyal fanbois noses in their own shit and throw them out the door on their asses. What do they do? They have the audacity to say, Oh, we are so glad that none of the fandom was able to figure this out. What a couple of dirty rotten fuckheaded dirtbags. So now the whole show turns into a fucking fairy tale, like fucking Peter Pan!!! You can spout the word REAL all you want but there aint a goddamn thing REAL about the whole fairy tale. With ABC being owned by Disney it should all make sense now. There is one thing I still don’t get though. I wonder why they didn’t use Tinkerbell in this Mickey Mouse piece of shit fairy tale. There can be no argument against this fact because there is no way on Gods green earth you can explain smoke monsters, time travel, an island that moves through space and time, a donkey wheel that if turned, the turner winds up somewhere in Bum Fuck Tunisia. So go ahead and defend this fairy tale all you want, because it is what it is…..
It is like having Alice in Wonderland, and then the people who die there go to Alice in Wonderland Heaven.
But Wonderland is still in Alice’ mind.
The problem with adding purgatory to the story is that is too loose of a rule. In purgatory, it is as though the consciousness has been grafted onto another set of memories.
One could make the same argument for the island existence, that they don’t know that they were in another life. They think their beginning was something else in those new sets of memories.
This could even be true of us. oooooooooooo.
Adding purgatory to the story was a sloppy way of ending it. It is one step away from having someone wake up from it.
Purgatory Island… A new “original” movie. It’s never been done before!
Because if there is a debate, then everyone was in purgatory before the original 815 plane even took off, because if they weren’t Ben and Juliet saw a purgatory plane IN PURGATORY rip apart after their book club meeting was over…If you believe this, u are dumb…
____________________________________________________________
Now because of what Daddy Jack said in the last few minutes of the show. I have to agree with you on the matter of the realness of island and what took place on it. Even though things that happened on the island are at the very least, unreal. With the show being as deceptive as it was throughout its existence though, I can understand the other side of the coin too. You could never take anybodys word for anything throughout the whole show!!! Yet you are telling people to believe a few quite vague words at the end of the show. I can see how people can be very skeptical of this. So you wage a personal attack on them by calling them names. So just how smart is that? Just a little food for thought…..
The Island was a real purgatory?
Oh, now don’t start!
Infected,
The island isn’t real.
Actually, I don’t care but I’ve never seen anyone get so worked up about something they cannot know unless the writers told you.
Chillax, dude.
I have to get back to the island!
*thud*
CLEVELAND
((Note to Mr. Poster Monitor; forgive me if someone somewhere posted this concept before and I neglected to read it, OK? My apologies in advance.))
Here’s another thing stuck in my craw…
… That, should the island somehow fail, this so-called ‘evil’ and ‘darkness’ would be unleashed upon the world if Smoky left the Island…
What a load of happy horseshit!
(as my dear departed father used to say and apparently is still saying according to the Darleton scheme of things)
Was there not evil ALREADY unleashed in the world before, during, and after the island became known??
The LOSTIE backstories – which apparently are NOT in purgatory/limbo/dreams – are staged in the ‘real world’ and ALREADY include pretty horrible superbly bad stuff WITH the evil STILL contained on the island!
Stuff like sexual infidelity, murder, con jobs, lies, assassinations, personal betrayals, family conflicts, terminal diseases, organ theft, patricide, (help me out guys here I can’t think of them all…) etc.
So what IS the point of keeping Smokie there at all?
Let Smokie leave…what ELSE could happen in the real world?
Explanations are to be welcomed at this point.
OMG, OMG, OMG, O, fucking, M, G, you, you don’t even want to find that out!!! O, M, fucking, G!!! It would, it would. Ya know what I don’t really know. It damn sure couldn’t be much worse than it already is. I personally think that they should have let him go from the start!!! Or anytime there after, for that matter. I just never seen him as the bad guy. Maybe I’m wrong, but with them two demi gods, he seemed like the good guy in my eyes. Jacob and his killer evil step mother, them were the bad guys. She was a murderous wretch. Who enslaved Smokie or Lou or whatever his name was, to the island against his will. I think he had every single right in the world to be able to leave, however and whenever he wanted to. Then after hitting his head on the rock and then killing everyone in that camp. I believe he had every right to kill her too!!! Then came retarded little goody two shoe’s Jacob who knocks him out and stuffs his ass down the glowing glory hole and kills him and places his dead ass beside that wicked ass step mother in the cave. Well let me tell you what, my black smokey assed spirit would be one pissed off son of a bitch too!!! So what if he killed a bunch of people. That piece of shit Jacob kept bringing their asses to the island, knowing damn good and well what Smokie was going to do to them. So I ask you. Who is actually the killer here? If that bastard would have just let him go none of that would have happened. If he wouldn’t have brought anyone to the island, there wouldn’t have been anybody to kill. So who is the killer? Stealing peoples children is OK? What about the purge? It happened on his watch. Smokie didn’t kill them. What about all the red shirts and the flaming arrows? Not Smokie again!!! Now who is the bad guy here? Smokie? I think not…..
Why couldn’t Michael kill himself after he and Walt left the island in Ben’s boat? He tried with a pistol a couple of times. Once with that fat, super-gay Other guy (but that’s another story), and also tried to drive into a wall – remember? That was in the initial Island time-line too, right?
Because he was ALREADY DEAD… in PURGATORY!!!
Why couldn’t Michael go to heaven? Because of killing those two broads?
Or perhaps, Michael failed in his LIMBO task of taking care of Walt – when he got off “the Island?” I think yes to the latter. That is of course there is a real answer at all…
Is it real or…MEMOREX?
wait…what?
Are you too young to remember the Memorex commercial with Ella Fitzgerald?
What a waste of perfectly good glasses…..
Who’s Ella Fitzgerald
She was that lady in the crash that was married to the white dentist…
I don’t know. Rose was fat, but she had a kind of cute face of sorts. Ella now, she is just plain butt ugly…..
You mean yelling “Waaaallllttt! Walllllltttttt!” 2-4x / ep in Season 1 doesn’t get Michael, who I find in re-watching the series from Y1 S1 this past week, to be the most unexplained self-interested character – I like Ben and even others more than his character. So maybe he doesn’t go to heaven since he’s the most self-centered ass?
Why did the smoke monster cross the sea…?
OK I”m a glutton for punishment. Why? And this better be good…..
To see what he could sea…..
HE JUST DOESN’T GIVE A FLOCKE!
FLOCKE YOU TOO!
STOP FLOCKING AROUND!
OK!!! OK!!! Whatever you say!!! I really didn’t mean to get you so upset. I apologize whole heartedly…..
sorry I asked, guys…
When something sucks more than Lost then is it time to let go and move on?
Or do we have an “end date” for they why lost sucks finale?
This site goes into internet has been, March 31, 2011. Never to be seen or heard from again…..
And we thought that the characters Nikki and Paulo sucked. Now we know that the whole series did!
That stupid show Nikki was in, was better than Lost.
Top 10 reasons why LOST sucked…?
Can you name 10 or 100?
#1. (Start below)
1. fucked up role models whose redemption was nonexistent and whose morality or ethicality was the sort of twisted narcissism that has flushed Western civilisation down the toilet.
There just isn’t enough bandwidth on the internet to go into detail here. Further more, where do you really start? If you do really desire such information. You can go to the first posts and move this way from there. It has everything a person could need to know…..
1. Not enough questions
2. It didn’t end well
3. The female characters were whores
4. The male characters were pussies

32. The Orquid.
33. Season 4, 5 and 6
34. The statue
35. The Blackrock
36. The light house
37. etc.
I can go on forever there so many reasons why this show piss me off so much that I can be here all night.
The show wasn’t sci fi. It was poor fantasy.
Well fantasy, magic, sci-fi, whatever you want to called it but, what it wasn’t was been real, logical and rational.
How could you have an “end of the world” thread happening on this show and then do nothing to explain it. Of all things not to explain! Good God. Something that big a problem is about as big a problem can be.
It was going to happen if they failed to enter the numbers into the machine. (it didn’t)
Eloise Hawking said of not getting them all back to that island in that plane, “Then God help us all”.
Widmore said most recently that if Smokie gets off the island, that everyone we’ve ever known would never have been born.
This is what would happen? How the hell would that happen? Let me guess, they didn’t tell us.
Of all things… if there is going to be a story, or a show, and a thread of it is about something this ominous, it should either almost happen so it can be seen. Or it should be allowed to happen and then be undone. This is the way most disasters are allowed to play out in movies and such.
It was just another carrot in front of the donkey (the viewers of which I ended up being an ass for watching)
Can anyone enlighten me on what the dang end of world even was supposed to be?
Indeed. Time travel, synchronicity, plot, common sense: these are the four demons you must slay if you are to enjoy LOST.
If you believe that the island is a place (mesh) between worlds which I do, then it’s decent enough to speculate that the hellmouth which Desmond opened by removing the plug would have just bled all the way into our reality destroying EVERYTHING…In-turn, Jack’s gamble that rendered MIB human suggests to me that MIB as the smoke monster would have had a similar effect had he made it “Across the Sea” since he is a product of the substance in that cave…Imagine a scenario where he is away from that power source on the island that keeps his abilities somewhat in check, and in the “real-world” he just infinitely expands and spreads and “infects” EVERYTHING…Late night drug-induced fan-fic I know, but since he wouldn’t be able imitate anyone off the island he would just be stuck as terrifying smoke engulfing the world…
Like some have suggested I thought it would have been awesome that once MIB “died” he would have come to the altverse in the form of Locke wiggling his toes in that hospital bed and start kicking ass and destroying everyone, but obviously we didn’t get that…
That’s a mighty fine fanboy essay you got started there.
Unfortunately none of it happened or ever will happen (ie. unreal) not even the M-E-E-R-K-A-T-S.
Pray extra hard in church this Sunday for John Locke and his smoke monster.
P-U-R-G-A-T-O-R-Y ^^….
Back to Widmore’s warning that if he gets off the island, no one would have ever been born…
This implies there is some kind of temporal angle to it.
If the island is a place between worlds, between time, between space, I guess you can infer that if it eats itself alive (via the release of the hellmouth) it can eat away the fabric of time aswell…That’s just offhand speculation on my part…
So I take it that you are saying that the island is a Langolier…..
What’s the other offhand doing?
It has to be speculation since there isn’t any substance in LOST.
There were several things that were going to lead to the end of the world. But Smokie takes the cake so lets go with that.
There is so little to go on. Elaborate answers are flying around because there is literally nothing to go on, so everything becomes possible.
1) no one knows what this thing is
2) Jacob doesn’t know what this thing is, but it is evil
3) Dharma physicists don’t know what this thing is.
4) The rule is, this thing can’t ever leave the island.
5) If it ever does leave the island, the most specific thing we know is, that everyone we have ever known will never have been born.
It showed up a few times before season 5 and then it started being around every day.
It was able to appear as anyone but didn’t usually until it became Locke.
Then it got stuck that way.
Smokie-Locke likes being human and so stays in Locke mode most of the time even though it is highly inconvenient.
Somehow it is going to cause the end of the world. Give me a break.
I think the only end of the world that was going to happen is if they writers didn’t keep the ratings up for six years which would have been the end of the world for the show.
None of that existed (including the Island) because they all died either in the crash, or in other places and times. It was all just part of the LIMBO test for redemption – in order to get into heaven. The people in the church are the ones that “made it” that round…
“None of that existed”
And well I know it. Because they added the sloppy purgatory bit, it nullified everything.
Perhaps it meant the end of THEIR world but not the whole world. But then that was a context change made in The End.
I convinced myself that nothing matters yet I keep asking questions about the one big plot hole that LOST is. I have to stop doing that. Would vicodin help with this kind of thing?
Vicodin might help releave some of the pain, but take it from Dr. Smokie, for relief from LO$T syndrome, you need something more aggressive. Something that will totally alleviate the pain and suffering from this disease. Try morphine…..
I understand doctor patient confidentiality, but any of you who are psychologists, have you had a sudden influx of patients?
I don’t know about anybody else but I have been seeing my shrink twice as much here lately…..
If this is the case:
“5) If it ever does leave the island, the most specific thing we know is, that everyone we have ever known will never have been born.”
Then what about “What happened, happened?”
If everyone was obviously born already, and a main TT theme of the show is that “What happened, happened” and you *cannot* every change the past…
Then why not just let him off the friggin’ island?
And Widmore wanted so much to own the island why? And I agree, his story went nowhere too.
I lost the link, but Alan Dale said in an interview that he never understood what they were doing with the Charles Widmore character. He was rather frustrated with them.
Or that it would stop the wheel of fate for the losties and they would never reincarnate.
I found this on facebook under “bad news”. It constitutes as good news here
hxxp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20390295,00.html
That’s the official story but the real story is that he accidentally sat on his dog. Don’t let PETA hear that.
Well they never recovered the body, which leads me to believe he at it
ate…..
oops
Too bad fatso wasn’t run over, to avenge the others he ran over in the season 3 finale.
Did you notice how all the newly introduced charachter from 3rd season on, were named like famous physics ?
Some of the Didn’t Love It posts over at the Nazilage are pretty interesting to read, and a few people make GREAT points, only to have their posts deleted by fascist moderators for some of the DUMBEST reasons. One guy made a perfectly good argument about new shows in correlation to the final episode of LOST (re: what NOT to do), and the moderators deleted his post.
WHY would you waste your time posting somewhere about a specific subject that deletes and/or edits said post – even if it IS on topic? That kind of mindset is absolutely devastating.
HAHAHA!!! The Nazilage. Thats some funny shit there. How about the fustalag…..
Persons Unknown” On NBC is obviously trying to cash in on the success of Lost – That is on the short memory and gullibility of the viewers.
Most chances that it won’t survive its first season, and it most probably will be send to the garbage can of TV before its finale.
But, if it persists, I expect a site called “Why PU is phew” or something.
BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!
In their first episode they asked QUESTIONS! They acted like normal human beings.
They asked more questions in one measly episode than the Losties in the entire six seasons of Lost.
of course they didn’t get answers because the people there do not know anything, but THEY ASKED QUESTIONS
So I am going to give it the benefit of a doubt for few more episodes and see where it is going.
It is possible that some writers with actual talent came up with this show (unlikely – but…), so we shouldn’t let the cursed Lost ruin it for everybody else.
It was created by Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote/directed Way Of The Gun.
That’s enough for me to at least give a few episodes a chance.
I liked the Way Of The Gun. Let’s hope he didn’t sell out.
I liked Persons Unknown. The acting was a little subpar, but the characters acted like human beings, the dialogue was sharp, and it had a Twilight Zone vibe to it. Plus, I hear it’s a mini-series, so no pointless tangents or filler.
And so it begins again. The circle of hate.
Another show I stumbled upon that’s truly smart that snobs here will even appreciate…Check out “Luther”…It stars Idris Elba (The Wire’s “Stringer Bell”) as a top notch (although temperamental) British Investigator with the smarts on level with a Sherlock Holmes…The interesting thing about this show is that unlike the shitfest that is CSI, or NCIS or some other American procedural, we are purposely presented with who the villain is and the point of the show is not the “who”, but the “how” and “why” with “Luther” basically going in a verses format against said villain in various mental and physical trials to prove their guilt (Even if it’s just for his peace of mind)…
Really good show and only 6 episodes…It airs in England (BBC) but anyone with torrent abilities should snatch this rather easily…
I give it my highest rating of 4 out of 4 Boxes of DHARMA Rice Cereal… Enjoy^^…
Not cereal…
Just how many fingers of Dharma Peanut Butter would that be exactly?
Normal fingers, not Hurley fingers.
Still it should be fingers in the Dharma dressing…..
I hear Glee is going to do a Dharma themed episode.
P-U-R-G-A-T-O-R-Y T-H-E M-U-S-I-C-A-L

Top notch production. Shot on 35mm film. And the big bonus is that the gun cockin’s are not incidental, guns actually kill in this show.
When is the why does “Persons Unknown” sucks site gonna start?
I just watched the trailer. They’re in purgatory also.
The wave of the future. PURG-A-STORY…..
When the Persons Unknown writers heard that Lost was not Purgatory early on – they fell for it, and thought, why don’t we make a Purg-a-story and be different from lost??? Now they have shit on their faces…
Time travel your way to purgatory? Whatever writers?
From the Love Song of J. Alfred PrufFLOCKE:
“I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Til human voices wake us, and we drown.”
…apologies to T.S. Eliot
(Tough Shit)
You post that and not go on to
I have heard the mermaids singing each to each
But not to me
???
BTW, about that question asked and not answered (Oh, no, Mr. Bill; not another question!):
How DID “Hurley” get his nickname anyways?
People didn’t want to hurt his feelings by calling him HUGE so they replaced the E with an O. No hurt feelings…..
OK, when LO$T started out it was an action/adventure drama thriller of sorts I would say. It kind of stayed that way for the first couple of seasons. It started leaning heavy on the drama side as it made its way into the forth season. As the forth season progressed it started a slow change into a dramatic type sci-fi, with the characters being on the island and the Oceanic six being back home. Desmond having his mental time travaling experience kind of threw it into sci-fi. with the freighter showing up the action/adventure started to blossum a bit.Then with Ben turning the frozen donkey wheel it went full blown dramatic sci-fi comedy. It stayed that way for awhile with the flashes and the next turning of the donkey wheel of fortune. With the NOSEBLEEDSECTION being in Dharma time it is hard to discribe just what catagory to say that was. So I will put it in the shit catagory. Then as we proceeded into the final season we took a nose dive into the fantasy realm that threw the whole show into the fairy tale catagory to the end. Now with that in mind, just where in the fairy tale catagory do we rank it? So the question is, was it a good fairy tale? Can we rank it with the likes of A Christmas Carol, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood or even the Three little pigs. I think not!!! These fairy tales made sense. LO$T never did…..
L O S T… “And it failed miserably ever after!”
THE END
Thats beautiful man, I can’t believe I didn’t think that…..
Never use LOST and Little Red Riding Hood in the same sentence again!
LOST as fairy tale would be like this….
Story Teller: Gather round children while I tell you a story that never ends. It started one fateful day when a plane crashed on a island!
Narrator: Night after night it went on, the children chattered after bedtime as to what might be happening in the story. They were so excited!
6 years later…
Story Teller: … and then finally, the father went to the back of the church, opened the doors and bright light came in. And the son went to the beach and closed his eye! Well, that’s it children.
Children: But what about the secret numbers?! What about the other little children on the island??? Tell us, tell us!!!!
Story Teller: I told you the story never ends. NOW SHUT UP AND GO TO BED.
HAHAHA!!! Thats as close as it gets. With most fairy tales there is something to the story that can pertain to everyday life. Let’s use the Three Little Pigs for example. The moral being, If at first you don’t succeed build a better house. With LO$T the moral is, Hmm, Umm, ahh, This is not the way to make up a story…..
You’re all faggots.
Takes one to know one. Seems funny that you take on a dudes name, because if I remember correctly you are Infected’s main squeeze. Just something wrong with this picture…..
Why the fuck do I have to be involved in this? Was I really that memorable of a troll? I mean even Tyler trolls me…I was that special? Am I honestly the only one capable of pulling this sites overhyped buttplug?
Well I just can’t see you being special enough for Tyler to troll you. He just don’t seem to be the type of person to do somerhing like that. As for the person who goes by your handle, I don’t know what his deal is. You must have said something to piss him off. As for me I guess it’s just because you still come around and usually have something half assed witty to say to give us some shit. All the others that used to come around I guess are to butt hurt about the show to come back around. So in that aspect of things you are kind of special. Personally I look forward to your responses. Well sometimes anyways…..
“Was I really that memorable of a troll?”
Spoken by the guy who gave us Syracuse, accountants and MEERKATS and the ^^…
groucho emoticon
^Alright I am kinda effin memorable, but you have to atleast tell me who you are when I do my final post so I can atleast LMAO…I have an idea (Obviously), but maybe I don’t…Can we atleast met on those terms?
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Jesus Christ…
Er..er..No Mr. Joker…
*Wait’s for it*
Still waiting?…
Well here it is. You better don’t do it either. That is if you know whats good for ya that is. That damn Devil he will step all over your toes, because he can’t dance for shit in the dark…..
Even if he were to tell you, it still aint gonna do you no good. You still aint actually gonna know who it is…..
You get involved because the dude is your main squeeze dude!!! Now pay attention…..
You wish… Is Patrick T. some kind of code for GAY?
Yeah, it’s him and Infected little secret code. Isn’t that just so cute? Kinda special too…..
Lost quotes:
“I’ve looked into the eye of this island, and what I saw made me want to puke!” ~ John Locke
“If we can’t live with this finale, then we’re going to die in shame!” ~ Jack Shephard
“You have some… Arzt… on you. ~ Hurley
Hurley, you have finale $hit all over you!
“A great man once said Fail is coming to this island. I think it just got here”
-Anonymous
“Thank God it only ends once. Anything that happened before, including the finale, is pure crap!” ~ Jacob
“If the finale works, you might just save the show. If it doesn’t, at least you’ll put millions of fans out of their misery!” ~ Sayid to Jack as the sub blew to smithereens.
The Man in Black: “They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.”
Jacob: Don’t be so hard on Damon and Carlton. They did the best they could with JJ’s script!
Locke: “Oh, no, don’t worry about it – surgery ain’t gonna do anything to help this finale. The condition is irreversible.”
Jack: “Nothing is gonna reverse this crap!
Not even time travel!”
Jack: “Kate said we were leaving.”
Christian Shephard: “Of course we’re leaving. This piece of $hit show is over, we’re moving on!”
The End
“Don’t tell me what I can’t ask!!!”
It just don’t get no better than that…..
BTW again,
Is there anyplace like THIS here commentary board for “Fringe?”
I have withheld major suckfesteringbitchy comments for that show just like I have broodingly saved them for that useless piece of crap “Sanctuary” but have no where to dump them.
Where do you smart guys (and you know who you are) go to do your duty?
Thanks, amigos.
Hey, Its an open forum dude. You can bitch your heart away about anything you like around here. We kinda stay away from politics, but even it rears its ugly head every now and then. So if you are in a bitchy mood you are in the right place…..
Don’t tell me that $hit I just started watching and it’s been pretty good so far (Really good acting from the Mad Professor and Agent Broyles [Dude from The Wire])…Obviously I tried to resist the temptation to watch it because Fox’s horrible rep with canceling good sci-fi shows, but with LOST gone I need SOMETHING that’s not procedural cop, hospital drama bullshit…I think you’re just pi$$ed at the fact JJ Abrams puts ode’s to LOST in some first season episodes…First episode involves a plane calamity…
I know LOST is full of FAIL, but I really think we’re getting so fucking jaded that many here will never be able to enjoy another sci-fi –ish level show again…And it’s pretty sad considering only a decent level of sci-fi geeks would even ever post here as religiously…
I refuse to become an automoton that watches the fucking Mentalist and The Closer…Jesus help these geeks…
I kind of like the Mentalist myself. The Aussie has a certain way of doing things thats kind of funny. Still I wouldn’t say it’s a great show. Even good would be stretching it a bit. I really never liked cop shows or hospital shows. I think the last cop show I liked was Adam-12 and that was when I was a kid…..
I’m enjoying Doctor Who right now. LOST is itself a world entire. A world of EPIC. FUCKING. FAIL.
Yes, I voted in your poll. I also noticed the article on the oil spill. I am not sure what to make of all that. It sure seems like there is something fishy going on down there…..
What’s wrong with the Mentalist?
Thanks SMOKIE NOT LOCKE;
RESPEKT!
Don’t purposely ignore me and cheerlead on SNL to make me feel bad!!
——-
Unless you really want to that is^^…
Well you gotta give credit where credit is due and you damn sure didn’t answer the mans question, so what would he have to thank you for? Maybe a post that says you like the show that he wants to bitch about!!! Hmmm makes about as much sense as LO$T did…..
Poor Infected. He pours gasoline all over himself and then complains about all the smokers in the room with him.
I couldn’t have said it better myself….
Well if Tyler doesn’t want to host this any more I will pick up the tab in return for admin privileges alongside him and keep this very website up forever. It can be our broken giant four toed Futurama foot monument where we gather to point and laugh and fuck shows’ shit up.
Forever sure is a long time. Does that mean if I keep posting comments that I will live forever? Life is a beach and then you go swimming in the oil!!! If it’s one thing I “do” know. It is that I damb sure don’t want to live forever. Not in this carcuss I carry around anyways. My dad would say, “life is but a short interval between two eternities.” Gives ya something to ponder for the rest of the day. Or not…..
MIB name suggestion thread.
I theorize MIB did have a name but he was too embarrassed by it. Thus his bad disposition. What my such a name be? I suggest it was…
Abernathy
what might such
I am kinda thick headed because I was wondering what the hell kind of name is that. After thinking on it for a minute there I finally got it…..
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure no one thought my name was Abernathy.
It is kind of a dumb post to begin with actually.
Well I seriously doubt you can post anything that can be any dumber then some of the shit I have posted in the past…..
Caligula
Salman Rushdie…
You can suggest more than one.
Leslie
P.S. Apologies before hand to anyone who has any of these names. Especially Salman Rushdie
I thought we had decided awhile back that his name was Lou Cipher…..
In Latin MIB’s name is “Finalis Suckis”
(Finale Sucks!)
MIB a.k.a. Malcolm Dentures
Tommy Lee Jones
Now thats taking it to the limit!!! You definitely get my vote…..
Yay!
I was just reading our daily paper when I found an article called “Torchwood coming to Starz”.
In the article, Russell T. Davies says, quote
“It’s not going to be ‘Lost’ and take 20 years to find out what’s going on. It’s going to have a most remarkable conclusion in 10 episodes.”
Interestingly, Lost has already become the standard for what NOT to do in near series. There must already be pressure from the viewing community to know in advance how long this is going to take.
Person’s Unknown is supposedly a mini-series. But I haven’t see anywhere how many episodes it is. So I don’t know if this is a come on, or are they truly are reacting by creating short lived series rather than 6 year torture fests such as LOST.
And that’s coming from RTD – Russell T Davies of Torchwood and Doctor Who, although I have some big problems with his use of homosexuals as his preferred magic negroes he is overall an excellent writer, one of the best. For him to rip on LOST tells you that LOST really is a steaming pile of multi-colored clown poo.
Although I love Torchwood, even the vicious, brutal S3 (last one) dearly and consider it Top Ten TV… how Russell T. is going to have a show when they destroyed the HQ (mostly to move the show to London – my guess is like everything out of Hollywood based in LAX to save $$$)
Anyway – sorry for the spoiler but there’s also no characters left aside from the main one after S3 – and the show was always at its best when there were shows that involved most of the staff.
Continuing my X-File-athon, just watched. Just watched S06E14: Gender Bender. It’s the one where this man/woman mutant kills people with her/his hormones after having sex with them. I don’t know who the director is, but he is the best I have ever seen for a TV series. Anderson and Duchovny both do a phenomenal job acting and the camera angles are sublime. There’s one scene at the end where you get a birds eye view of a crop circle and you really feel like you’re watching a big budget movie.
Agreed…
Even the BAD X-Files epis were somewhat good and entertaining to a degree if for nothing else but innovation.
All except that last movie which was crapshit with stupid scotish actor bleeding from eyes as only ‘kewl’ scare…shit I hate all forms of those ghosthunting plumbers on Sy Fi total waste of humanity and cable bandwidth IMHO.
Sorry for the biotchfit.
P.S. I am saving up till Friday or Saturday night to watch “Persons Unknown” for the first time so thanks for the above comments.
Right, each episode was really entertaining and fresh. And the characters were really good at their roles.
Another thing is the music. After watching Lost I now know to listen for good and bad music. Lost got so fucking repetitive. It was like a nightclub with the same mix CD over and over again
But, that is obvious mate, they have to save up money because if not then they would not have budget to make the super magic cave with the awesome powerful light. For example another cut on the budget they made was on the ending episode in which Locke never change to the Smoke Monster, even knowing that was the final super fight with the super new Jacob also known as JackASS. It is not only that the ending and last 3 seasons suck cock also they are cheap as fuck.
Dude the music in the X-Files is phenomenal. Every episode it’s something fresh
What’s Gillian Anderson up to nowadays?
Duchovny is in Californication.
Persons Unknown is way better than Lost. Give it a chance!
The fan base is growing!
Thanks but, No!!! I am not following another series because I lost all trust on TV networks, Thanks ABC! I will never forget you!!!
You know something else better than LOST?
Penis enlargement emails. Funny shit right there.
HA!!!
“The final episode to Lost may have been and gone – and in the process, completely split audience opinion – but it’s not quite the last we’ve seen of the series.
The forthcoming Lost DVD and Blu-ray boxset will come with an epilogue to round off the events of the last episode, and will provide a glimpse into what happened to Hurley after the final credits rolled.
“It will address some of the issues, like the food drops, and it will deal with what happened on the island after Hurley took over and how he handled things,” actor Jorge Garcia told E! Online. “It will give you a taste of what took place after Hurley took over as the new number one. There’s a little epilogue thing going on with the DVD.”
Garcia was reluctant to say who else would appear in the epilogue – “there are other people in it, but I won’t tell you who”, he said – he was rather more candid about what he thought about the controversial finale.
“I loved it,” Garcia said. “When I first got the finale script, it didn’t have the final act in it yet. But I got to the part where Hurley takes over and there was a kind of a sigh of relief. I thought OK, this ending is a satisfying ending for me. Everything I invested in this show does pay off. And so I’m good, the ending is good, and I don’t have to worry about it.”
The epilogue will appear as part of the Lost: The Complete Collection, which, as the name implies, collects all six seasons of the series in one hulking package – look out for that when it appears in the US on 24 August and the UK on 6 September.”
Quick quick quick LOST zombies from the Nazilage! GO and blow money you can’t afford on 20 minutes of extra footage.
Fucking shit for brains meatpuppets.
Of course there wasa huge check as payoff, Garcia.
Loved the script? Really? I just lost every respect I had for Hugo on this show!!!
So basically we had to buy the DVD set so we can see what Hugo and Ben do on the island but, Still not answering any questions!!!
Once more Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrahams go above all my expectations on this show.
And another thing…
I went through all those seasons and episodes and NOT ONE DAMN UPSKIRT SHOT!
CRAP>\shit(*piss!
Which inspires me to run a write in poll:
Which skank from LOST, if YOU were LOST on a desert island (hmmmmm), would you most like to bone?
Go to it Guys.
(Perhaps I assume too much; apologies if any Ladies r on this board, you nasty-trashy biotches☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺)
Claire with a nice doo…..
Her hair would end up looking the same as S6 after you cum in it enough.
You know how to hit a guy where it hurts…..
Rousaux when she first landed on the beach, but I’d go forward a few months until after the pregnancy (not into that).
Understandable…..
Sun.
“Have you seen my Tiger?” “I have LO$T my Tiger.”…..
For me it would have to be Cindy first.
As much as i hated kate on the show, she looks decent in those old hotline commercials and in those new shampoo commercials.
Shannon third (while she’s alive you dirty minds). She reminds me too much of someone i know so i could not put her higher.
Obviously Shannon when she’s wearing the uber-miniskirt.
But a *very* close second would be Sun when she’s all made-up and being submissive. Read into that what you will.
The blonde other in the Looking Glass!
Nikki
Possibly Colleen, who was killed by Sun.
Shannon’s got a “butterface” though…
First season Kate was too pretty for porn, but she got kinda ruff until season 4 when they showed her off island in sleek black dresses and shit all made up, and it was like OK, this b!tch is working with something…Like O’Quinn her tits also seemed to get grander and grander each year culminating with the sweaty boob blasts of legend seen this season…
The chick Jack cheats on his first wife with was pretty hawt too…The Spanish chick whose father he saved…I’d Coconut her…
“The chick Jack cheats on his first wife with was pretty hawt too…The Spanish chick whose father he saved…I’d Coconut her…”
She was Italian. Her father spoke Italian with a French accent I think, because the actor is Belgian.
Kate in season 1 was okay-ish. Shannon, not so much.
I’m a female and I’d like to bone rousseau.
she’s always been fucking hot but in those afterlife flashes as a domestic woman cooking and cleaning, she was the epitome of sexy.
Props to you Sister of Sappho…we could have named that mysterious place the Isle of Lesbos then!
I only ask one thing:
May I Watch?
I have to admit I did like the old version of her on island. I totally would.
Only if she says random BSG quotes while we play proctologist.
I’m so glad to hear that garcia is happy of the finale, that fat fuck really deserved to be the lard king of the island.
Being a shitty fucking actor and playing the most lard fucking annoying fucking piece of shit paid in the end.
Now he can go back eating people and dogs with his fucking pig fuck mouth.
Does anybody know how much he really weighs…I mean in real life, NOT in the Limbo world that is?
20.000 pounds
Wasn’t he 386 Ibs or some shit?
I sure thought he would be over 400!!! But I have been wrong before…..
He went through a weigh station in oklahoma and his truck was 150,000 lbs heavier than listed. That’s the best estimate we have.
in the season six dvd you can see him eating jack’s body, very slowly.
I understand the numbers went up on Fried Chicken for a while.
Also,that was a pretty stupid scene when he crashed his car into that fruit cart in a season opener…
Lost was like “The Aristocrats” filthy stand-up routine.
A terribly long and detailed story, with a ridiculous punch-line ending.
youtube.com/watch?v=tGVL_reIuJM
Hey watch it…I really liked the AristoCats!
I figured some time had passed. I figured I could watch some earlier episodes that I remember being enjoyable. I figured the bad taste of seasons 3-6 would have faded by now (hopefully).
So I took out my season 2 DVD, put in disc #2, clicked on the first episode on the disc….and I barely made it to the LOST before I had to turn it off.
I made it 5 minutes and I couldn’t stand it. Sun lost her wedding ring. All I could think was “Who gives a fuck”.
See, what has dawned on me after this experiment, is that the only reason Season 1 and 2 were enjoyable to me is because I wanted to know more, more more. Now that I know there is nothing more to the story it all seems pointless and very slow.
I’m sorry to say that I think Expose may be the best Lost episode, simply because you have CLOSURE at the end of it.
So if you guys are like me, and you think you can revisit earlier seasons and enjoy them, well you just may end up being disappointed.
Marty McFly is outta here!
During the whole series it was slow. For some reason I was tolerating it then, but I don’t have any patients for it now.
The airplane getaway was probably the most concentrated action in the whole series. Maybe the hatch blowing up was second. What else?
And to top it off, they had all those recap shows. At one time I said if they had one more of those I was going to stop watching Lost. I should have stuck to my guns.
How did you like that big red V clock?
It sucked balls.
Yeah, I hear ya dude. Trying to go back and watch some of this shit again would be like doing your sister!!! Just plain wrong…..
Later Marty, it”s been fun dude!!! Glad you made it here for the most entertaining part of the suckfest known as……….BOOM……….LO$T……….
I read once that during the production of the Prisoner, fans camped outside Patrick McGoohan’s residence. They wanted to know what it was all about. It became such a problem he had to live somewhere else for a while.
I was wondering if anyone over there experienced that first hand.
Fortunately that show was an abbreviated mini-series. And a weird ending was expected.
Recently there was a 6 hour remake of it which presented a theory of what it was about. It wasn’t that good but Ian McKellen carried it the best he could. At worst it only wasted 6 hours of time and not 6 years.
It sucked balls.
I’m assuming you mean the remake. I kept looking at the time while I was watching it. I kept wanting it to be over but watched the whole thing the DVR way.
The theme is that everyone is in the same sub-conscious world. This is baloney of course.
Of the 1970’s Prisoner, PM and a friend got the idea from something that really happened in WWII. Captured spies and scientists were placed in an English mansion. They were given anything they wanted but they were not allowed to leave. They were trying to find out what information the spies had.
The 70’s Prisoner was a surrealistic portrayal of that. Really quite unique, it is something that can never be reproduced.
I was also thinking on Smokie as the “islands security device”. Did they originally think of Smoke is the Prisoner’s Rover?
If they even touched that idea they should be annihilated.
Oh, no. The security device?
Ya, I meant the new one sucks. I tried watching it but… no good. The old one was cool.
Not an anti-escape orb?
This guy. I wasn’t aware it was only refered to as Rover one time.

I think it was called “anti-escape orb” on the Simpsons. I’ve never seen the actual show.
When did the “IT”S ABOUT THE CHARACTERS” cover up start? I first noticed sometime around the middle of the last season when they started brushing big important stuff as magic and smoke monster, people would parrot that out and approving of the uninteresting bland answers the writers shitted out.
My breaking point was when the delusional people thought the one minute explanation “lol I was your dad Jack….uh you needed water” to years of buildup and intrigue was satisfying in any way, to me it almost seemed to be on the level of religious rhetoric deihards spew out when you dare question their little house of morality tales.
I remember when I read a spoiler back in March about Kate shooting the MIB and getting kicked off a cliff, such a bland ending for such a build up character that the show was beyond hope. I mean come on the SMOKE MONSTER goes out like a bitch!
I was watching another episode of X-files last night, and the 10+ minute dialog they had was so refreshing. And they use pseudo science to explain everything. Not magic or wizardry.
I’m watching Jeopardy right now… couldn’t we bitchsters make a viral where Alex Trebeck asks all LOST- related questions to a group of retards for them to answer?
Bet that would be really cool…besides we might just get some answers if we used real retards!
Well hell I am pretty retarded so I guess I could be on the show.
Me: “How about LO$T for $200 Alex.”
Trebek: “The answer is. He had never been given a name by the producers or writers?”
Trebek: “Russell!”
Me: “Umm, who is Jacob’s mom?”
Trebek: “No sorry, you are dumber than a rock.”
Me: (crying) “I hate you!”…..
What was the SmokeMonster for 300?
Thats not funny goddammit!!!
Still me in crying, whiney butt, retard mode. One of my many split personalities…..
Hurley 4 President!
A LA-TEE-NO for U.S. President….
Whadda odds for THAT?
“VoTe EarlY For Hurley”
Wait…didn’t I see that on the Fues-your-Ass-on Large-site?
Vincent for Vice President?
Lost trivia questions?
KIndasorta an oxymoron, eh?
You mean a tautology.
in the season six dvd you can see hurley slowly eating jack’s body.
… and finishes with the whole island?
It’s like watching a python slowly devour an entire deer.
What do Damon and Carlton think of the fans?
They used the Chuck E. Cheese analogy.
Darlton: Hey kids look over there! It’s a Chuck E. Cheese! (Meaning they will keep us busy looking at the island and the mysteries and all the while hoping we won’t notice the 800 pound gorilla in the room – purgatory!)
Used to be Lost fans: Thanks for insulting us. Chuck E. Cheese this!
I am trying to watch season 6 reruns and it isn’t easy. I know how it ends now and the show is not fun anymore.
Lost is telling us that you can be hit by a bus or killed by the smoke monster, but it does not matter because you will all end up in a church meeting in a dream!
I would rather have had the Indiana Jones ending instead of the they are all dead and waiting to go to heaven ending.
The writers message to us: It does not matter how hard you work or try in life, like John Locke did, you’re gonna die sucka!
Why did the writers pull this $hit?
That’s a heavy question there!!! I guess a person would have to start with:
!. pathetic
2. stupid
3. don’t know how to write
4. pitiful
5. retarded
6. morons
7. dimwitted
8. total assholes
9. idiotic
10. imbeciles
I could go on but that would be senseless on my part. Plus thats all the fingers I got, and believe me you don’t want me taking off my shoes…..
All was quiet. Then something approached through the jungle. Maybe its the Smoke Monster! There is a sound of something like Flipper, or perhaps Chipmunk chatter.
Then there were whispers, too. It could be the others! They used to be dreaded zombie like creatures but how they are just ghosts who can’t do anything at all except make whisper sounds. I think I can make out what the are saying. I think they are saying…
LOST SUCKS!
Trombone SLide… EEEEEEEEEEEEEEooooooooooooooooooooo
Sorry if I put in bold this post but, I really want it to be notice
I am asking for the South Park producers / writers to give us a hand and show the world what more than 95% of Lost fans think how Lost sucked and show it in a way that only South Park can do it !!! I want to see Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny bitching about this show in a way that only they can do.
Please make at least an episode about it, I am begging you, for the sake of every real LOST fan.
I hope the South Park producers here us out. If anyone agrees with me in this request please reply to this post
Thank you all!!!
“They Killed Smokie!”
YOU BASTARDS!
WHAT!!!
That was supposed to be:
WHAT?????
But I’m a dumbass what can I say…..
Of Course I agree 200%!!
SOUTH PARK is the ONLY cartoon comedy I watch faithfully and can appreciate (can’t really abide any and all of the others, sorry Family Guy fans…)
The Cave of Light is prolly where ManBearPig I mean Smokie lives.
Alternately there always the Lewis Black rant to hope for!
Lost was referenced in the episode with the period of a virgin Mary statue. The kids are in a hurry to get home after karate practise because “the final episode of lost is on”. I believe this was only a few weeks or so before I started watching Lost. At the time I thought that it wasn’t a season finale, but a series finale they were speaking of.
I just want to see the South Park cartoon of Damon Lindlelof and Carlton Cuse and hear them say “Lost is about the characters” and seeing the South Park kids saying “I learn something today: Lost suck ass”.
Help us South Park!!! For the Sake of the every Lost fan!!!
I just want to hear for once from Stan or Kyle or even Cartman saying “What the fuck is the island??”
Just once please Parker and Stone, I beg yaaaa!!!!
Cartman will play Hurley and Stan will play Jack(ass) who throws up every time Kate comes close by.
But there were no jews on flight 815 unless…of course: the DENTIST…married to a schvartze though?
Could be a kewel version of the epic episode: “Cartman gets an Anal Probe” where the aliens take the boys from Colorado to a mysterious island…
I think that the jew part can be played by Carlton, Damon or JJ
Your mother can play that part.
“But there were no jews on flight 815 unless”
Nor is Cartman hispanic. Therefore, Kyle can be a non-jewish character.
I dont think that is going to be a problem since South Park is going to be making fun of a show that makes no sense, they cannot have an easier episode to make than this one, there millions of jokes to make from this useless show.
Since the finaly is long over now and eveything has come to an almost complete stand still. You may ask “what are we going to do now?” Well I tell ya what were gonna do. We are gonna grab our belt loop at the back of our britches and pick our asses up, grab our guns. (checking to insure auto cock is on) And hit the jungle a running, not missing a step. Dammit we got major jungle trekking to do!!!!! We cannot let this minor setback blur our vison of the original misson. I understand that we will suffer major casualtys. The most important thing right now is we stand undaunted with courage and valor. Never losing site of our goals. You may think all is lost, the ship nearly sunk. But I stand before you today crying at the top of my lungs “all is not lost!” For there are many more battles to fight. Stick a cork in that hole, and bail water like you mean it. I say nay this ship is not sunk, and with a little spirit and alot of pride we can overthrow our adversaries, look past our misgivings, and trek through this jungle like we own the place. Hmmmm OK whatever…..
there’s no time for that now.
I had put that up on Hank”s site when this site went down in April. I put it up here in hopes to generate a few posts but it don’t look like it worked very well.
Answering that it would only lead to another question
OK…I just want to see who gets to play the part of our cabin boy.
I got the confirmation again by an abc insider LOST will return in 2012
they will do a kind of reboot
Lost: REDUX
They could fuck-off.
I agree!!! If by some slim chance in hell this was true. After what has already been done I doubt they would have much of a following…..
LOST: REDOUCHE?
LOST: IL DUCE?
The End: Crafting A Final Season – Join the LOST team along with other producers of some of television’s longest running shows as they answer 902 questions about the island.
A Dude’s Journey – What makes a dude? Which survivors of Oceanic 815 are dead? These questions and more are explored.
A fragment in time:while the oceanic 6 were on earth,Locke visits Hurley.
Locke wants to check some facts on the internet but Hurley promptly shouts:”Internet is for fatties in their mother’s basement!”
It was a gay ending written by gay writers. Understood.
But, why write an ending that pleases only a small percentage of the viewers, instead of blowing everyone away with something amazing?
I would like to ask them that question… at a distance that is.
Actually the ending entertained 80% of its viewers; namely those in the age range of 13 year old girl to 16 year old girl
Don’t forget of DarkUFO’s site fans if you see his polls more than 10,000 people love the ending, now my question is how old are those voters?
Ace you are right about the ‘gayness’ of the ending when you wrote “blowing everyone.”
The only way the finale would have been memorable is if I WAS getting blown. Thanks for reminding me of not getting laid…
Your welcome!
LOL Titus welliver is in an episode of the X-Files (S01E20)
Looks like Jorge has a blog:
furtherdispatches.wordpress.com/2010/06/
maybe we should tell him how we really felt about the show
Hey, if anyone is still reading The Fusalag (sic) – which I’ve never been to:
1. Copy any msg that you know if going to get “moderated” (or find it via Yahoo or Google ‘cache’) and post it here where it won’t be touched.
2. Send PM’s or whatever, if they have them, to convince anyone who gets “moderated” to repost whatever they wrote here, with the strict promise it will not be deleted, changed, etc. And that we’re very VERY likely to support most or all of everything they have to say, if they have at least a little sense of humour.
I would KILL to see all the “moderated” msgs from The Fusalag so bad… but I just can’t bring myself to bother checking it out.
SNL – I’ll do my best to keep this site going if you will, you long-haired, “redneck” hillbilly with nothing else to do. I keep a military cut now but had long hair and live in a “big city” but we’re totally nuts in the same way, mate! Cheers, Wink
It seems like a lot of work. Between drinking and smoking I really don’t have too much time left over.
True, the PBR and naps do take up a lot of time. It was just an idea. Not expecting it – heck, I’m not even willing to do it myself, yeah?
…no sex atall?
I suffer from the same pass-times…
OK, convert me:
I think The Prisoner and most eps of The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits were brilliant, and Twin Peaks – just amazing and beyond words.
So why do I hate LOST so much? I know my deep hatred of J.J. “take credit for everyone else’s work” Abrams is a part of it, and none of the above shows turned Soap Opera about halfway thru S2 (I’m watching the whole thing from Y1 S1 since it’s free to stream on Netflux) – but still…
All I can think is that S1 had so much potential and was SO good and then it went so bad, esp. when they lost so many characters with stupid killing (Ana-Lucia, who I thought was OK, and Libby who rocked) and actors who wanted out or didn’t work (Eko, Walk, Michael) – that drove me nuts – wish I could find the article I read that showed that since 9/11 killing characters really pushes up TV ratings – “good” or “bad” characters.
Anyway, any ideas. I mean, I watch The Prisoner about every 1-2 years over and over… and LOST – I’m starting season three and it’s already so awful.
Wish the trolls were still here to ride my arse.
The British Petroleum Company released the smoke monster – and it’s going world wide.
That’s the exit.
Where’s Jackass to put the ‘cork’ back in when we need him?
BP doesn’t want to put the cork back in. They want the earl.
‘Cept the ‘earl is just spreading across the entire Gulf of Mexico and new fix will be finished in maybe two months. So I say we get Desmond down there.
Well they have finally decided to go ahead and cut this fucking clog out of my neck, so I head for Phoenix today for a consult and get the day they are gonna do it, so today will be a good day…..
Good luck the prognosis!!
I really got one question for JJ Abrahams, Damon and Carlton, what was the point of the Time Travel? Because for what I understand the hole point of the Time Travel was to show us about the Dharma Iniciative and the Incident but, what I don’t understand still about the DI is how the they got to the island and what they were doing on that island, so, I repeat myself what was the point of the Time Travel? Because all that crap of the Losties been working on the DI for me was pointless!!
What’s funny is that back in season 5 I thought the time travel was an epic mindfuck that would make your head explode if you tried to understand it, but now, the whole invalidation via the ending creates a massive black hole which sucks your soul into it and leaves you in a state of despair.
Righty-o…
And remember:
In space, no one can hear you scream!
That is what I thought too but, after seeing how the donkey wheel was used to move the island somehow I knew TT was pointless, because suddenly TT was not an issue no more.
It was another pointless plot on Lost so they can used as excuse to make another season, in one word sad, very sad plot.
To me the time travel was actually the key to saving the show somewhat (In an intellectual perspective)…It’s far more digestible that because of Time Travel certain people (like Richard for example) knew that this person and that person had to get on a certain plane to get there in the first place…That it was somehow the losties mistakes that made Dharma discover the island in the first place. That certain others we couldn’t make out in season 1 were actually some our Losties futilely trying to do things to stop the loop…Time Travel was the perfect plot device IMO, and me being a TT enthusiast I was quite pi$$ed to find out it wouldn’t be a core theme…
As someone said earlier, they went “Full Retard.” It wasn’t you’re fault, remember that…
hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xpekrElVfk
about 4 minutes into the the video, something they should have done to all of them. Hurley falling through a trap door. Sweet…
He doesn’t come back out as a smoke monster.
He waves his arms about like a retard though.
smoke monster’s grandpa

Darlton etal used this for gaining insight and inspiration.
LOL WTF!
I didn’t know that popular phrase but will now attempt to use it whenever I think it to be appropriate.
Sure dude I think you are just blowing smoke. You are in England right? Maybe it is more of a U.S. phrase because I have heard it all my life…..
I’ve started to compare every show to LOST. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
In an episode of the X-files Mulder is looking at a caterpillar in a cocoon, and he says “It’s amazing how things change”, Scully asks if he means the caterpillar, and Mulder says “No, a change for us, it’s coming.” The cocoon was a reference to the episode where this guy would hibernate in this nest, and change was the bureaus attempt to silence Mulder.
Now how it would of gone down in LOST
*Bewildered Jack Face starring at a cocoon not 2 feet away from him*
*Kate enters and clearly sees what he is looking at*
Kate: “what you looking at”
*Cue sappy Kate music*
Jack: *deep breath* “It’s amazing how things change”
*Cue suspense music*
Kate: “You mean the moth”
*Cue sob music*
Jack: “ya”
*The moth emerges at that exact moment in time and flies away as a butterfly. Millions of fanbois fap at what they claim to be fine directing. We are never told what he meant, or what the purpose of that scene was.*
They actually did some Cocoon/Butterfly shit in “Persons Unknown” in the 2nd episode. The butterfly died when it hit the force-field, after they let it go… an absolutely terrible show. Worse that FastForward or that other POS – V.
I watched that to and thought it was funny. When they had just opened the jar I went bzzzzt. Way to predictable throughout the show…..
So funny, my local FOX station has “News at 10PM” where Persons Unknown airs so they’ve preempted it since the start, so the local FOX network decided their awful local news was better than P.U.
Persons Unknown is getting more like Lost each week. They are starting to show character connections and you already mentioned other similarities.
Surprise! It ends in Purgatory or maybe they are already dead?
I sure as hell hope it don’t. It does have a LO$T feel to it. If they end it with the purge-a-story I think somebody ought to start up a collection to have Abrams gonades cut off and then shoved down his throat…..
I want answers, Mr. Spock!
But I’m Captain Kirk…..
Looks like Redbox has the sequel to LOST already in the movie “Gabriel”:
“Gabriel is a dark action/drama that takes place in the realm of Purgatory. It reveals the struggle between Arc and Fallen angels for control over the city and its population of re-born souls. Purgatory’s dangerous and seedy underworld will reveal the human condition as frail and strong, as corruptible and honorable but always undeniably powerful and precious.”
Is this NOT the ‘Watch What Happens’ scenario after the folks meet up in Church and go into the Light?
Prolly will be character-driven drama, eh?
I was kind of bored tonight and the old lady was watching persons unknown and I figured I would check it out. First off, it wasn’t a cop show or a doctor show so thats +1. It did kind of take on a LO$T feel about it so thats a -1. No smoke monster so thats a -1. OK every show can’t have a smoke monster so I will take half of that one back. I kinda liked the part where the gal got the note to kill the dude and she could go free. Then teasing her by letting her talk to her daughter for just a very short time so thats a +1. It seemed like an old STAR TREK episode where they got sent to old Tombstone Arizona and they were the Clanton gang, so thats a -1. Way to predictable, when the drove out of town and then the blinding light. I knew they were gonna be back in town. So thats another -1. Now I did like the sign saying welcome back, so thats a +1. So that leaves us with, Umm lemme get my fingers going here. So that leaves us with -1/2. Well there ya go, my take on it is it only kind of sucked. Don’t know if I will keep on watching or not right at this moment but I do feel it could have been a lot worse than it was…..
SMOKIE, are you good at counting cards too? ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
If so we need to get up a road trip to Vegas or Atlantic City.
Sorry, I just don’t have enough fingers and toes for card counting. Once you get past 10 + 10, I’m done…..
Play 21 – we know you have an extra toe!
Kind of like with Fringe. Sometimes they show a hand and it has five fingers and a thumb…..
Happy Days: Jumped the shark
Indiana Jones 4: Nuked the fridge
Lost: Nuked the hatch?
I wonder if any term will stick like jump the shark?
Lost “nuked the shark”?
Sawyer nuked Miles’ ass.
“Crashed on the island” was already suggested in this thread, which I prefer, because it indicates it was shit from day 1.
Yes, it has been mentioned – for the millionth fucking time.
Darlton seemed to put God, religion and the removing and reinsertion of hottub bungholes all on a equal footing. Or at least that’s how I see as their master plan for explaining Lost.
Subliminally, they were ripping off Beavis and Butthead

Haha “there’s no time for that!”
LO$T, thought it shit a hot masterpiece but turned out to be just a cold turd…..
LOST: Forgot to push the button and sucked the buttplug…..
Lost “plugged the bunghole”?
Lost smoked the big one?
Lost put a cork in it?
The Purgatory Screw?
There has to be one that defines it all?
Lost explored the SUC portion of the word SUCCESS.
This month in Lost history…
The show finally went off the air for good!
(Oops. It was last month.)
LOST BLEW SMOKE UP THE A$$ !!!
give Butters the precious…
you all everybody…
LOL I thought last week’s episode was the Breaking Bad finale.
How do you think will the next season start?
Jesse obviously didn’t kill Gael. I believe he’s making him leave the state, like Jin did with Suns’s boyfriend in Lost.
Walter will have to kill Gustavo, who I think will accept his death calmly.
Will he take over Pollos’s operation or will he be hunted by it? Will he maybe take over the meth and chicken business, but not the laundry?
Walter will wind up taking over the operation. I hope he gets laid, because his wife is an uptight pig.
Agreed, however, his wife is also hot and got slightly less uptight with her willingness to take over the money laundering.
I found it funny how she said “I’m an accountant, I know how money laundering works”, followed by a shot of her reading its wikipedia entry.
If Walter wants to “not be the bad guy” then he HAS to take a deal and turn into a Federally Protected Witness so that HE and HIS PRECIOUS FAMILY can be kept together far, far away in a state like Alaska where he will wind up teaching high school again, perhaps gym and not chemistry.
I just HOPE he takes over Gus’ business after all with that cool Eisenberg hat and all.
Mike is a cool, cool fixer…not the usual so-so role that actor plays elsewhere.
One other comment.
I really really really hate Walter’s wife and her even more annoying sister.
Walter is absolutely nuts to keep her around.
Love…go figure.
The only other woman I really hate more, much more, is harpy Arianna Huffington. No wonder why her hubby turned gay.
Man, I just cannot listen to her screeching voice its like sharp fingernails on a chalk board.
Ivana Trump’s voice is almost just as bad…I don’t know how the Donald slept with her for so many years…OK I mean prolly at least once or twice.
Breaking Bad was great this season.
Ya, but she’s always flaunting the D cups in your face – Big ol’ ass though…
Just watched the Legion (Keamey’s in it) and it’s literally bursting at the seams with religion.
OMG!!! That was the most ridiculous scene I have ever witnessed. Michael shoots a woman in the head. She falls into this magical light and disappears. She drops the baby. Warren Beatty lunges and catches the baby like it’s a football. Then keamy comes out of the light with neo-spartan gear on.
What’s even FUNNIER, watch “WOLVERINE” the story of X-MEN’s furriest clawed metal skeleton hero’s origin.
See him turn into ‘FatBastard,’ literally!
Makes his acting appearance on LOST look like friggin Marlon Brando (and not the Brando in “Apocalypse Now” either).
He also plays a dummy in Robin Hood.
I’m going to download these movies. He’s in Wild Hogs, but he’s pretty good in it. He’s in 3:10 to Yuma (terrible movie) and he’s terrible in it. I always liked him Lost b/c he was the only male character who didn’t cry at some point
I’m watching Death Race right now, and this movie kicks ass! It’s not Oscar worthy, but super adrenaline packed
Is that the movie with David Carradine in it? If it is, I remember watching that a real long time ago. It was a pretty good movie if I remember correctly…..
Least favorite nicknames used in LOST:
“kiddo”.
“freckles”.
FLOCKE
Where does that even come from, Fake Locke?
Yes, I think so anyway. Then you got SLOCKE and I think that there is a couple of others that GOD only knows what they are…..
Frogurt. Scratch that, that’s my favourite. Mr. Clean
I liked Mr Clean.
Only kiddo sucks.
All of Sawyer’s ones were okay IMO.
or DARLETON…can’t suck more than that!
Don’t you believe it. Those guys can fuck up anything. Thats why they wear shoes that have no laces…..
You’re the assholes for thinking an ABC show can satisfy you.
Yeah, all us guys should have 3-4 women because thinking one could never satisfy us. Oh yeah, TV is a harem. Never mind.
OK, OK, you are all probably wondering when that dumbass SMOKIE NOT LOCK is gonna do another one of his stupid long ass rants that usually pertains to absolutely nothing and don’t make much sense either. Now I know everybody really looks forward to these with extreme anticipation and enthusiasm. Come on you know you do. OK, maybe not. Most of you probably just skip over them thinking, I’m not reading all that shit, because that stupid hillbilly fucker don’t know shit about what he is talking about most of the time anyway. Yet I keep on doing it anyways. God don’t even know why. Yep, I have asked him. He tells me that he don’t have clue as to why I just feel I have to ramble on about such stupid shit that nobody can understand that has two working brain cells. Yep that’s what he says. Yep, he talks to me. OK OK, so he doesn’t talk to me. If he did though, I bet thats what he would say. OK, so it’s a hot ass day and these two guys are out walking their dogs. One says to the other. “Man it’s fucking hot, we need to find a place where we can drink a cold beer.” The other guy says. “You got that shit right and there is a bar right around the corner.” The first guy says. “Yeah, but what about the dogs?” Second guy thinks for a minute, then says. “OK, I got it. Just follow my lead.” So they go around the corner and enter the bar, and the bartender yells at them. “Hey you guys can’t bring them dogs in the bar!” The second guy says. “But were blind, these are seeing eye dogs!” The bartender ponders this for a moment and says. “OK, I might be able to cut you some slack with the Doberman, but a Chihuahua?” The first guy yells back. “WHAT, YOU MEAN THOSE BASTARDS SOLD ME A CHIHUAHUA!!!”…..
I don’t get it.
It’s funny!!! It doesn’t matter if you get it or not…..
ABC don’t bring back Alias, please!
“Thanks for your efforts on LOST, and it is by no means your fault in any way that the ending cost so many people their will to ever watch episodic television again.
Keep it real.
BOOM
LOST”
my post on Hurley’s blog. That guy seriously SERIOUSLY needs to think of his health. He is to morbidly obese people what morbidly obese people are to starving pygmies. In other words really fucking FAT.
Last night they had TV’s Greatest Surprises. It was the top 30.
Ben pushing the donkey wheel was offered but didn’t make it. The clip was shown.
I was hoping beyond hope… do not let the Lost finale make it in the list. It didn’t. At last, some sanity in the world.
I was thinking the same thing. The Lost finale doesn’t deserve to be on any greatest surprise in tv history show. No way!
I beg to differ with you on this one. I was completely and totally surprised at how utterly stupid and idiotic this show turned out to be…..
hxxp://www.docarzt.com/lost/lost-recaps/the-last-word-on-lost/
LOL
Now, David, of course never really existed. Poor kid, I’m sure it would ruin his day to find that out. Once Jack had been convinced that he would have been the bestest daddy in all the world, David, I guess, just poofed away. Jack was done with him, he returned to the void to which all things go that Jack no longer has any need of. His only function was to help Jack work out the all important Jackiness of being Jack.
Did Jack get a fake Father’s Day gift from his fake son?
Thank you for posting this. It’s like reading my own thoughts, if they had been filtered through a long-term Lost blogger with a better command of the English language and a less filthy mouth.
This was a great read though he lost me when he went on tangents about darkufo users and nerds hating romance.
OK, since that last one went over like a lead Zeppelin. I will try one more time. With all the traffic on this site though, I doubt anybody will have time to read it for all the other posts!!! I guess I kind of suck at sarcasm too. Well anyways, this story is set back in the old days. No farther back then that. Not that far!!! OK, horse and buggy days. Now this feller and his wife was heading for town in their buggy, see. When all of the sudden the damn horse just up and stops right in the middle of the road. The feller says “giddyup” and smacks it with the reins. Horse don’t budge. So he gets out of the buggy and goes up to the horse and says with a growl. “Thats one.” He gets back in the buggy grabs the reins and off they go. About a mile or so down the road the damn horse just stops again. Now the feller is starting to get a little pissed off. So he swings out of the buggy and walks up to the horse and growls. “Thats two!” Gets back up in the buggy and away they go. This time they get a couple miles down the road and I’ll be go to hell if the son of a bitch didn’t stop right in the middle of the road again. Furious now, the feller jumps out of the buggy, goes up to the horse, pulls out his gun and shoots the fucker dead. He turns on his heel climbs back up in the buggy, just to hear his wife bitchen. “What did ya go and do that for. Now how the hell are we supposed to get to town?!?!” He looks at her and growls. “Thats one!”
Great so far Smokie…What happens next?
It’s kinda like LO$T!!! I’m not answering anything unless it’s pertaining to the buggy’s wheel…..
Oh yeah, by the way dude, thats one…..
Now I perfectly get THIS one:
Groucho Marx on his famous TV quiz show, “You Bet Your Life,” as this micro-legend has it thusly…
Groucho was small-talking with a female contestant when the following exchange took place:
Groucho: So, you got any kids?
Female Contestant: Yes, Groucho, I have eleven children.
Groucho: Eleven?! Did you say eleven kids?
Female Contestant: Well, I love my husband.
Groucho: Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.
Not really LOST material, but a DAMN BETTER ENDING, KIDS!
So Damon has run off to France and is in Italy according to his tweets. Claims he’s enjoying Tuscany right now. Ha! He wouldn’t know good food and vino from a bunghole in the ground. I’m sure he’s got the locals out there enthralled with his fantasmagorical tales of Locke, black smoke and purgatory. Italians. Gullible. An “oasis of dumbitude” that only a manchild like Damon can appreciate.
Brings back to mind the whole Cold Fusion fiasco. Pons and Fleischmann had to run to France too when the shit hit the fan in the US.
Looking for work, eh?
If their names go on a show in the near term I doubt it could pull even 5 million.
The American studios know that. They are finished. At least for now.
But some European studio wanting to do a copy cat show… we must warn them.
I’m italian and I agree that this country sucks. But even we are not that dumb to buy Lindelof’s bullshit.
There are a lot of lost fans and we saw season six at the same time of the original US broadcast.
I cried in pain the same day you all did when I saw the finale.
There’s no place on earth where Lindelof can hide and try to sell his shit.
Well I can say I didn’t cry. I did laugh though. It was very boring in quite a few spots. I believe the feeling I had was more of pure amazement at just how fucking stupid and meaningless everything turned out. The diversity of all the characters, just to have it all be just about a Jackass trying to get a tail pinned on him was just rude, crude and as retarded as it gets…..
Daniel Dae Kim (Gin) is going to be in a Hawaii 5-0 remake as Chin Ho.
I don’t hold much hope for a new Hawaii 5-0. They will never find someone anywhere close to Jack Lord for McGarrett.
And if they don’t have Wo Fat I will be very disappointed with all of them.
“Wo Fat” could be played by Jorge Garcia and if they retrea’d the Disney tv series ‘Zorro’ then Garcia could play that fat but lovable Sergeant Demetrio López García.
We can’t have too many Garcias now, can we?
Ha! Sergeant Garcia! It just fits, they should do this!
I just saw what the opening credits look like. They took the original opening credits and song and cut and pasted the new actors in.
hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-hRV5FF8s4
Book em Danno…..
The new McGarrett actually says this in one of the previews.
This show is either an almost exact copy of the original, or there are some parody elements.
I was going to bitch about S3/S4 which I’m rewatching for when S6 comes out on DVD, if I watch it at all, but at least without commercials.
How about movies that people who like the original ideas (S1/S2) behind LOST might like:
Dark City
City of Lost Children
The Matrix (’natch – has anyone *not* seen it)
I’m thinking about movies that actually make the viewing audience turn on their brain and think. After season 3 rewatch I realized it had become a big soap opera and either things were spelled out for people or would never be explained/make sense.
And WTF with at the end of S2 and into S3 onward everyone starts getting “super powers?!” WTF? Because Heroes was popular for two seasons (I’m personally pissed it was canceled but ratings are ratings – and the main networks are still living in 1960.)
Dark City kicks ass
Yeh- Heroes sucked from season 2 onwards though.
I liked Heroes. It suffered from the same problem that they were making things up each season, and changing things too much, but I thought the last season had settled down back into a long story arc with a foreseeable ending somewhere down the line where they could end it gracefully.
S1 was also very different that S2 on but I thought S1 was a kid’s show like that friggin’ vampire shite Twilight but in S2 stepped it up to an adult show.
Too many side-tracks on Heroes too, though. OK, it was just OK I guess.
I noticed an unwritten rule about Lost characters. The sooner they leave the show the more and better work they picked up elsewhere. e.g. Shannon has been in numerous movies. Getting killed early on was definitely beneficial.
Kill Gin, and boom, he’s in a new series.
Jack, we don’t see him until 2012…
See the pattern?
Just watching X-files. S02E03, the guy that played the Darma torture guy living in that hut (EB Farnam on Deadwood and one of the scientists in Blade Runner) is in this epside.
I just watched The Prophecy with Christopher Walken. It was actually pretty stupid. I think that if LO$T would of had Walkin in it, then it still would have sucked but at least it would have had one great actor in it anyways. The movie itself and the story behind it might not have been very good but Walkin made the show at least watchable. There was a movie shack going out of business here in this little piece of shit burg so the old lady bought a couple of movies dirt cheap. Sure has been quite a few of these businesses shut down here lately. Wont be to long before it will be a fucking ghost town. She also bought Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs too. Great little flick. I really liked it anyways. Maybe I am just easily amused. Nothing worse than a bunch of talking monkeys…..
Your city CANNOT be shittier that where I currently live, SMOKIE.
The sole BLOCKERBUSTER is closing and all we wind up with is SPANISH speaking Mexican movies without subtitles.
Then there is the Mexican Midget Wrestling “Lucha Libre’…
I don’t know where you are, but where I am sucks worse than LO$T. We just wish we had a decent grocery store to go to. This years graduating class had 38 kids. Our main street is actually paved but you really wouldn’t know it by looking at it. We do have three pharmacy’s though. Smack dab right in the middle of Arizona, our greatest tourist attraction are the tumbleweeds. Oh yes and one other thing, 65 miles north is Flagstaff which at this moment is trying to burn itself to the ground. Well that might not be a tourist attraction. Then again ya never know…..
I notice you never posted a reply. I guess that means I win…..
“CRIPPLE FIGHT”
Now you see why I love South Park so much!
I saw Sunshine the other day, which has Hiroyuki Sanada More as the captain.
The actor who plays Dogen in the Other other temple.
Glad you varified that…..
I just watched the made-for-torrent series Pioneer One pilot.
It sucked.
There are two captions and both are erroneous:
Goldstone Observatory
“Sky Sweeper” Astrological Survey
Thursday, 9:22
A few minutes later it becomes evident that it’s supposed be an astronomical survey.
one character makes a metajoke
“if this hole serving and protecting thing doesnt work out, i think we have a sitcom in our future”
canada gives US homeland security complete authority in the investigation, salvage and taking prisoner operation
nobody thinks of contacting the russian government to ask them if they have any idea what the hells going on: guy in soviet spacesuit crashes in canada, spreading radioactive stuff in montana
another error
a caption reads
Baikonur Cosmodrome
Star City, Russian Federation
even though star city is in moscow and baikonur in kazakhstan
fucking idiots
2 captions, 2 errors
also the show is fucking chauvinist
they mention this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov
saying he had something the rest of his cuntry didnt: imagination
ignoring the fact that they made military and space systems equivalent to american ones with far less monies
I just saw the movie “SPLICE.”
Cool, except for actor Hewett ala Stargate TV series…asshole no-talent why is he breathing oh he’s Canuckian so nevermind oui.
DREN was creepy but can bend her legs behind her head the hard way.
Youzeall should see it Guys.
I saw a preview of the season 6 DVD.
There are the following deleted scenes:
FLocke fighting Jack and Widmore at the constellation tower.Dharma soldiers doing the lumberjacks
Hurley discovering that there was a third brother of Jacob and MIB called Jackye Sheppard
Satisfying explanation of all the mysteries:deleted scenes of MIB saying to Jack:”It’s a fine line between chalke and dust”GET IT?????
“What’s going on here? Is the Gulf being poisoned on purpose to enhance corporate profits? Or has this crisis been orchestrated by the illuminists in order to force the United States to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) which would cede control of the oceans — over 70 percent of the planet’s surface — to the United Nations?”
LOST
Law Of the Sea Treaty!
wooo wooo
HAHA John Lock is in an episode of X-Files
He’s also Admiral Pressman in STTNG, a former CO of Riktard trying to finish an illegal experiment that went wrong forever ago.
Riktard. I like it!!! I remember watching that one a long time ago…..
Ya I remember that episode too. He seems to always get roles where he has a short fuse.
Riker: You can’t break Star Fleet regulations
Admiral O’Quin: Don’t tell me what I can’t do!
It was so long ago that I didn’t really remember to much about the episode. Your comment helped considerably…..
Oh yeah, one more thing. Shouldn’t that have been Admiral Locke?????
Haha, love it.
I think the plot of the episode was that the Smoke monster comes aboard and they fly intto an asteroid cave/crater where the Pegasus, the experimental ship is located, which they find partly merged with the asteroid. It turns out that they were working on a cloaking device that can pass through solid matter and any Federation cloaking device is forbidden under a treaty they signed with the Romulans. A Romulan ship seals both the derelic ship and the enterprise in the asteroids and offers “assistance”, which would of course mean taking the cloaking device. I remember they do actually connect the device to the Enterprise and fly through the asteroid. Admiral Pressman is charged with crimes against Jacob and Jackass for breaching the treaty of Algeron.
I don’t remember what happened to the device.
After watching that turd of series (LOST), everytime I watch any other show I have orgasms. My expectations have been lowered to such a level that even Beavis and Butthead I find entertaining.
LOST the sequel? I can hardly wait!
Hmmm, I wonder what they will call it? LO$T at LAST, or maybe LAST of LO$T. LO$ERS at LO$T. LO$T LO$ERS. LO$T the LA$T GENERATION of LO$ERS…..
Lost in Limbo…
Dammit Ace you always gotta 1 up me doncha? DONCHA?!?!?!?!?!
LOST – The “Purge-a-story” Rip Off
A new book by Mr. and Mrs. Damon and Carlton Lindelcuse
get it at sucked-us-in.com
The ending of Toy Story 3: Woody and Buzz end up on a mysterious island.
They spend 6 years of their toy existence trying to kill the smoke monster.
But none of it matters, Buzz. It never happened. Move on.
They are all dead and doing not so well in the flash-sideways purgatory in a church looking at all the purty lights!
BOOM
The LOST Toys of Story 3
Shit…will someone PLEASE go turn the donkey wheel, send the Island to the Caribbean, and and sink the sucka over the leaking undersea oil well.
A much better ending.
Just remember to keep that butt plug in the damn cave of no return.
how is it possible that nobody realized that they planned a totally different storyline and ending?
there are tons of scenes that have been cut, reports from fans that saw filmed scenes from a storyline we never saw.
jin kidnapped by widmore’s people and put into room 23, rescued by kate and sawyer on the island.
hugo winning the lottery with different numbers in the alt universe.
all 19 characters reunited in a hospital called sacred heart, with an older aaron in the alt.
richard and rose at ben’s school in the alt.
desmond crashing eloise’s party demanding the list, sawyer working for an misterious oriental man and saying to charlotte that he knew she has been on the island when she was a kid, set apparently being used was a big ditch with some sort of “hatch”, shiny new Dharma van spotted close, lennon as a spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation, and much more. all of these happening in the alt universe.
and I’m not talking about false reports, but actual scenes that people saw while they were filmed. there are photos of these filmed scenes.
it was supposed to be a real alternate universe where the plane never crashed.
then for some reason they scrapped the original alt universe story, deleted half the season, and changed the finale with that horrid church ending.
that’s why there are so many absurd moments in season six, not the usual plotholes of previous seasons, but scenes that are obviusly cut.
That sounds shitty also.
the church and god and ship finale was much more shit.
besides, the point is not what sucks more, is that they filmed 100 hours of a story and then scrapped it.
and now they pretend they thought of the afterlife crap all along.
I like you roger. Go on
Hey fuck all that my niggas true though it be. How about straight up- what the fuck was the Claire “raised by another” “catch a falling star” and getting injected shit for?
Nothing. that’s what. Fuck all nothing.
Jesus prison showering CHRIST this show sucked.
Tiger, since you are the smartest of the smart, what exactly does the “H” stand for in
‘Jesus H. Christ?’
If anyone knows that answer you do, Sir.
(I hope it isn’t ‘Hurley’ or ‘Hugo.’)
There’s no time for that.
but actually: it’s a Greek vowel that lost its accent mark: IHS = JHS = JES = “Yays” short for Jesus.
So the H stands for the ‘e’ in Jesus.
Thank you kind sir!
I thought it ment Heratio. I could be wrong. I’ve been there before…..
Roger brings up a far more serious point: there’s a reason the last season sucked so badly. We all knew that it sucked leaps and bounds more than the previous 5 combined, but we thought that was just Darlton going full retard. Turns out they misplaced some footage and had to shoot the whole thing last minute.
they didn’t misplace shit, they filmed 100 hours of another story, then there was a screening test and abc ordered the whole thing to be changed into a depressing afterlife finale.
gone are the mirrors,the timelines merging into one, hugo’s new lottery numbers,jack in hell,desmond ascending and aaron,walt and the korean kid crashing on the island in the future.
Where might one find this information? It is somewhat interesting…..
NEVER go the full retard. Sopranos- black out ending, Tony gets whacked, still had massive ratings. Not retarded ‘t all. Seinfeld- full retard- went home empty handed.
Then there’s LOST. Sittin’ in the bath blowing fart bubbles laughin’ its retarded ass off.
Never go the full retard.
I could not agree more…..
Did you like the show Lost? I thought it was pretty good…
On the fuselage:
Quote:
So by the finale since he had ceased to ask questions, we too should have learned from Jack’s attitude.
Right, but Jack’s journey is not my journey. He’s the protagonist and I’m the viewer.
If the protagonist jumps off a cliff, I don’t need to follow suit.
I found the journey of unquestioning faith very unsatisfying. That’s how people end up in cults with suicide pacts. They buy into the unquestioning faith koolaid. I remember Jonestown very well. That is the writers message? I don’t watch a show to take on the wrriters’ message. As Sam Goldwyn famously said about the entertainment business, “if you want to send a message, call Western Union.”
It is far more interesting to witness an intelligent exploration of faith vs. science than it is to see a main character who used to ask for rational answers — give up …
The idea that intelligent viewers are supposed to hand off their intelligence in emulation of this cop-out theme … is absurd.
What scares me is the number of people who advocate taking off the thinking cap and inhaling the poppy dust.
BARF ALERT:
This is from the Loved It thread:
was so scared in the weeks leading up to this episode, that they were going to do one of two things (or both) that I felt would have been a real cop-out:
1.) Destroy/sink the island
2.) Turn the FS into a real-life “epilogue” that replaces the on-island plot
Fortunately, they proved me wrong on both counts — and I loved it!!!
The island is still standing, and the FS is not a real-life “do-over” — everything that happened on the island, happened.
Sure, they didn’t answer or tie up all of the hanging mysteries that I would have preferred, but the way they did the finale was just purely BEAUTIFUL…especially those final few minutes with everyone gathered in the church, *reuniting*.
May the deities bless Damon & Carlton for allowing such an incredible piece of storytelling to retain its luster!!!
All they can say was that the ending was beautiful!
But they are too stupid or can’t explain why they liked the ending.
Every show can end in purgatory where they look up at the light. Would that make all those shows “beautiful” too?
Puke!
points 1) and 2) would have actually made the ending better
Good point…..
Of course. The fanboi hates good things.
That reminds me of the old Apple commercial where one businessmen after the next would follow each other off a cliff.
Some people are just stupid sheep. It’s the old shit sandwich syndrome. Once someone says they’re great, everybody wants one.
Thanks but i’m not hungry…..
They all have brown Keamey teeth at The Fuselage.
I remember a comecial a few years back where there was two guys standing at the end of an assembly line for answering machines. The first guy pushed the button and the machine and it would be all garbled up and the second guy would say “Ship it!” After a couple went by doing the same thing. Finally one came by and the guy pushed the button and it worked perfectly. He then proceeded to beat the hell out of it with a big hammer untill it sounded all garbled and the second guy says “SHIP IT!!!”…..
I met a pretty girl on the beach. My friends had told me she was great, but I ignored them all. It was just chance that we met. I fell in love, instantly. We went around together all afternoon and into the night. Every step of the way she surprised me, and I adored her for it. I called up my friends and told them, “You guys were right, this girl is fantastic!” I even discretely logged on to Facebook and announced to the world how much I liked her.
Then she took me home. After some preliminary making-out, she took off her pants, revealing an unwashed, rotting penis. I was so confused, and drunk with everything that had gone before, that I let her fuck me with it. I now deeply regret that, of course, because my ass hurts and I think I got a disease. But everyone else is still enamoured with her. When I bring up the cock, and the syphilis, they accuse me of being small-minded, tell me I just don’t understand the joys of receptive anal sex, or ask me why I’m wasting my time thinking about something I didn’t like. (My asshole burns and weeps pus, that’s why.)
I am left wondering: Now that we know “her” nature and what “she” wants to do to us, why do so many people still love this diseased transexual? Are trannies “in” this season? Does everything that led up to the assfucking make up for it, or even make it a good thing? Am I just really out of step with mainstream society? Help me out here.
P.S. The drippy trap is a metaphor for Lost.
I thought it was a ‘honey pot.’
Drat it all.
P.S.
BTW, Great metaphor, Deus!
Dayum dude, did you make that up yourself or find it somewhere??? That is a perfect story!!! I really feel like shit or I would comment more. I salute you…..
It actually happ
I mean, I made it up.
No matter what, I think you hit the LO$T right in the old butt plug. That is by far the best metaphor for LO$T I have come across anyway. I am still laughing…..
Good analogy. We should blame ourselves for not having smelled the deathly diseased dick through that individual’s pants.
And not having noticed the adam’s apple etc etc.
Next time maybe we should drink a little more responsably. We must also not let the trendy ways of others let us get stuck in the behind just because they like it. We have been told all of our lives to never judge a book by its cover. Everything that glitters is not gold. Last but not LO$T!!! We shouldn’t always let the smaller head win!!! It has no brain, no conscience, yet that little fucker is so powerful it can make us do some of the craziest shit a guy could ever do in his whole life…..
If LOST were to be made into a porn movie, what should it be called?

I will have to come back to this one when I’m feeling better…..
Speaking about gay sex…
On HBO’s last “True Blood,” Sam Merlotte and Bill Compton hooked up in a gay shower scene clear outa nowhere…
What was THAT all about?
Prolly is what Hugo and Ben will be doing for years to come…
I’m guessing Number One is the pitcher and Number Two is the catcher?
Did Jacob give off creepy vibes to anyone else? The only woman he met throughout the formative years of his life was his insane mother, he had no idea other people even existed until he was an adolescent or adult … those pubescent sexual urges have to be channelled somewhere. He had to fantasize about something.
The dude has unexplained and unexplored powers that let him bring anyone he wants to the island or teleport or whatever he does to get off the island, you can bet Jacob did some fucked up shit in his early years.
Deus, I thought I was the only one who thought something was awry when I saw this tall, lanky howdydoody boyish actor pop up on the scene and identified himself to be Jacob.
This guy did not at all fit the mental image I was painting of the mysterious magical Jacob character.
He was though a gay fantasy writer’s dreamboat and I am SURE that whet Darlton’s whistle and
Floated their boat,
Cruised their canoe,
Razed their raft,
Jiggered their outrigger,
‘Bated their freighter,
and, as the King of Siam once said,
“etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.”
I have to give credit where it’s due. Finding out that the mysterious all-powerful Jacob was a retard was brilliant. I loved it. It reversed our expectations and had such potential. Imagine the show ending like this:
1. Ben is disillusioned by Jacob, and becomes a fully-functional self-actualized person. He resumes control of the Others and uses his worldwide network for something cool.
2. Jack comes to accept both science and faith, while rejecting extremes of either (Dharma, Jacob). He calms the fuck down and stops making faces.
3. Characters grow beyond their dualistic white-black good-evil thinking, and make some tough ethical decisions about protecting the island, the fate of Smokie, etc.
But that’s not what happened. Even though Jacob was obviously a retard, he was essentially right about everything and everyone did everything he said. No one’s thinking became more sophisticated. No one reconciled contradictory ideas or grew as a person. No one made tough decisions–they ended the show as Jacobite fundamentalists.
LOL – Jacob as a retard is funny.
Dysfunctional MoFo
Jacobite fundamentalists!!! I really like that one. Anyone care for a cup of kool-aid??? It puts ya in the same place, only a bit faster…..
Thinking a little on this Jacobite Fundamentalists thing. This being a very dangerous thing for me to do, thinking that is!!! Back to the point though, since fanbois seem to be real suckers, It makes me wonder if putting some kind of a gimmick with this, if maybe a feller could attract a cult following and maybe reap in a few benefits of his own. Of course Disney could sue the shit out of you, but hey, what the hell, eh!!! Might be worth a try anyways…..
Mark Pellegrino could probably use his Jacob schtick to get a lot of girls at sci-fi conventions. Walk around in that threadbare shirt, looking apologetic, telling young women that they are candidates and he has something to show them…
Darlton can probably go to cons and get a lot of … whatever they like, too. “Hey, little boy, do you want to know why the Dharma Initiative was REALLY tattooing sharks and sending super-smart polar bears back in time to Tunisia? Come upstairs with us and we’ll tell you….”
Think he had an oedipal complex? Not to worry, there were plenty of boars, fish and sea urchins around to phantasize about.
Oh Goody! A fresh clue posted by Tiberius over at fuselage. Someone get that dude to a rubber room quick. Keep up the good fight Tib’s. You’ll crack Lost sooner or later. Pssst! SPOILER~~~It’s purgatory in case you missed it~~~SPOILER
Fate of Republics
Stroke of State
Stock thy shelter
Fore its too late
Lost we were
Yet found so much
The good in each
Tis what we clutch
A humble teacher
Who dare doth ask
For thee to become the shepherd
The hard right task
Yes
We were lost
Yet now are found
Now be the light
As dark comes round
And Shepherds We Shall Be
For Thee, My Lord, For Thee

The masturbatory ravings which constitute the final moments of the congitively dissonant are often their finest efforts. But still, they are their final moments.
I am returning to the Fuselage some time from now, to watch the sand and tumbleweed and listen to the tins rattle in the empty shacks.
Then I will post “THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED” in every thread I can.
Absolutely no SPOILERS allowed! It’s Purgatory – really?
Don’t tell me what I can’t post…..
The real face of LOST fanatics:
“Fuck you all, dirty whores. Yes I’m talking abotu real people because you suck and fail at life. I loathe you all haters, you deserve all the spit and shit on your faces as you can get for all those years trolling the internet. Our fandom doesn’t have any respect? STFU you son of a bitch you! Keep fooling yourselves that Skate was eyefucking the whole season. You’re only embarrasssing yourselves, even some decent skaters can see. Yes, there are sane skaters out there who appreciate them sanely.”
A fandom any crackwhore writer could be proud of.
I had some strange fanmail back when I wrote erotic horror, but I clearly missed out on the primo shit.
Very nice person…
As I have quoted so often lately, in particular about DarkUFO and FU-selage,
“In the SS, one met a better class of person” -Walther Schellenberg, SS Officer
DARKufo was Mary2009 (amongst others)? Wow.
I miss MILLENIUM. Some of those episodes were good.
(O’Quinn was a regular in it. When I first saw him in LOST, I was like… is that who I fucking think it is?)
That was a good show. I think I’ll re-watch some of it.
Did any people who ran the big Lost fan sites and loved the show get pissed when they saw the finale?
Or did they all think the Lost garbage was beautiful?
Doc Arzst whoeverthefuck came down on it HARD. So did the Fishbiscuit reviewer lady. Basically anyone remotely normal went postal, the abnormals / subnormals will never change. DarkUFO for example. Now Oprahs’s done a DarkUFO with her own online poll. Oh so surprising. Not.
It was a beautiful piece of garbage.
Lost is boring now. I can’t stand to watch any reruns because they ruined the ending.
The only finale ever to ex post facto ruin an entire series
I wouldn’t go that far. The series had already been ruined years ago.
But I get the point- if for any reason you were still clinging to it, it leaned over and shot you right between the eyes with that finale. It unequivocally told you- “I’m a hooker and you’re a client and I never actually came, and I never would have kissed you on the mouth.”
LOL ya, that’s what I meant. It went back in time and stamped a big red “FAIL” on each episode.
I agree!!! I can’t understand why they had to go full retard. It’s like they went out of their way to do it too. You would think that the network would have some sort of quality control to keep this from happening. If I was in their shoes I would be pointing the finger at ABC and Disney so I could at least save a little face. I don’t think them two fuckers are smart enough to figure out how to do that though. I know I damn sure wouldn’t want my name even close to that disaster. Then again, the fuckers did rake in the dough. Even though, I can’t help but think of all the ways they could have went with the show, and they chose EPIC FAIL!!! Actually it’s kind of sad if you think about it. It sure has been fun though, making fun of those fucktards…..
I remember the finale to The Fugitive TV show. He found the one armed man, and tied up the series. No hocus-pocus BS.
THAT was awesome. As was the fact that the first and last episodes had the bookend taglines- “how does a nightmare begin?” “how does a nightmare end?” and Barry Morse was fantastic as the obsessed cop. Brilliant TV.
LO$T comes on here on Saturday nights at 11:30. It comes on right after Deadliest Catch, which I think is about the best show going right now. I think that it’s about four episodes into season six. I’m not rich enough to have cable or satellite TV so I am very limited for anything good to watch. Everybody says Breaking Bad is a great show, so I hope to one day be able to watch it. Most of the shit that the regular networks put out is so fucking bad that I usually can’t even sit through ten minutes of the show before getting up and doing something else. Just a hour or so ago I thought I would try and sit through an episode of The Gates, and made it for almost fifteen minutes before getting up and coming and playing a game on the computer. The shit just isn’t interesting enough. I thought it was rather boring and stupid. Another one was Happytown. I had to literally force myself to watch it and still couldn’t make it through the whole episode. I did watch Persons Unknown on Monday. Well I missed the first half but did watch the second half. It just has to much of a LO$T feel to it though. Me and the old lady while watching it match up the characters on it with LO$T characters. Sad part is, it actually works. Waddaya do? Ya do the best ya know how with what ya got ta do it with and fuck the rest. There ya go, my words of wisdom for the day…..
Someone started a DIDN’T LOVE IT thread for the ENTIRE series over at the Hitlerlage, and guess what? The mods locked it.
I hope someone hacks that site and deletes everything.
The thread still exists: forum.thefuselage.com/showthread.php?t=127799
I hope someone removes the site’s buttplug and sinks it into the web sea.
From said “Papa Thor, I agree with you, and particularly about the music. Loud and intrusive, it started to demand that we respond with certain emotions that the writing was failing to elicit.”
Exactly. It was a pathetic attempt to tell us “Be surprised/excited/terrified now!”
Papathor and Mamathor always amused me, in the sense that one lonely fuck was pretending to be both, and then towards the end he started hating the show and just gave up on ever posting as Mamathor again. Superb.
Fuselage is a psychiatric study waiting to happen.
I think he was posting over here too. I called him on it one day over here, and he posted like two more times and was never heard from again. I think he was embarrassed that he had been made, so he just disappeared…..
I laughed at him for fake posting. Then I saw how sad he was. So I laughed harder. And finally he came over to the light side and saw what crap LOST was… and now he’s just a shell of what he was.
Unless Mamathor is what he calls the latest co-ed he abducts, murders, rapes and eats, in which case he has a certain je ne sais quoi that we could use more of in this sick sad world.
Until they fry his ass.
Oh that pitiful music… Way too over-ripe and intrusive. That fuck is a big hero now in LA (the real LA that is).
another one:
“I look to my right and see 5 seasons of DVDs that I feel I can never watch again. I did enjoy the first 4 seasons and still feel that the actors did a very good job throughout, but the coolest stuff does not make sense in the end. It’s cliffhangers for the sake of cliffhangers, character actions for the sake of getting to the next cliffhanger and twists just to keep us watching.
If I were to watch the show and get into the second season and beyond I would just see plotline after plotline that never added up to anything. It would really anger me. The thought actually makes my stomach twist up into a knot because there was so much promise that was tossed aside.
You have to do mental jumping jacks full of assumptions and contradictions to even try to explain so many things. You have to tell yourself that whole episodes and even seasons meant nothing in the grand scheme of things and you’d have to convince yourself that it’s ok. I can’t do it. I wish I could because it is much more fun to love the show than to be personally offended by it.
This show taught us to never accept anything at face value to always try to read deeper and to look for clues. It did in fact teach us this, there are countless hours of podcasts full of people learning and enacting that lesson. This was true until season 6 where the writers tried to pull a Jedi mind trick and tell us that we have viewed the show incorrectly the whole time.
If the writers have to go on an interview tour to try and convince their fans that it’s a certain type of show then something is wrong. If they honestly felt that they were right they wouldn’t of had to tell us. Truths are self evident, lies take convincing. Then the fact that they refuse to discuss the show after to me shows that they know they screwed us over. They know they sold us snake oil and got out of town when it came time for it to cure our ailments.
To me the show is an example of how the new media of the internet can affect people’s minds. They started doing their Official Lost Podcast when the show started losing viewers in early season 2. They assured us that everything was being done for a reason and their was an answer for all of it. Then they used that same medium and the exposure it brought them as writers to commence with basically a brainwashing tour to tell us the opposite. They used it to tell us that the answers didn’t matter. It’s quite a powerful tool because it’s convinced a large amount of people that they didn’t watch the show for the reason that they did. They convinced people that they did give a crap about how Kate ends up with despite 5 previous seasons of fans screaming that they didn’t care.
These writers missed their callings. They should’ve been politicians.”
Most of us were fooled in the beginning thinking it was different from the usual network, ABC type crap. In the end, that was exactly what it was.
And yes, there were the podcasts, and don’t forget the Experience game. The “Lost Experience” even had it’s own mysterious side corporations, and a “candid” Darma video. The video showed Alvar Hanso, the head of Darma, explaining the Island. Also, Thomas Mittelwerk, scheming to kill off 1/3rd of the Earth with a virus to even the odds against the end of humanity as told by “the numbers.” … Interesting video, I thought at the time.
By the way, there was NO FUCKING CONNECTION to any of it!

I for some reason have not been able to go over to Natzilage, Pewsluge, Gulage whatever you wanna call it, since the finale. I really doubt them fuckers would put anything I had to say up on the board. As we all know, there is no defending that suckfest they called a show. So anything them fanbois would say would just piss me off and I would have to launch a personal attack against them for being so shallow and lame for being able to be brainwashed so easily. Which would certainly result to me being banned from the site forever. Even though this would not hurt my feelings in the least little bit. I figure why put myself and them fucks through the hassle of having to do it. I know me to well…..
Your shit would just be deleted. They are too dumb and happy to except the truth.
Doesn’t sound too bad actually…
When I was a kid there was a family down the street that had a couple of kids that were full blown tongue in cheek retarded. NO!!! It wasn’t my family. We were only half retarded. Anyway them kids always seemed real happy all the time. Maybe it aint such a bad way to be…..
Ever since I started watching re runs of The X-Files I’ve come to realize that LOST was never good. Not even in the first season. It just had nice HD National Geographic shots.

“Re: So what was the point of Season 5?
I’d take it even a step further and say what was the point of seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5?
They could have easily went from season 1 to season 6 and not missed a beat.
Season 1 finale reveals Locke actually died in the crash and was just a manifestation of the smoke monster. Locke opens the hatch, offers Charlie his drugs back if he goes in and kills the man who’s in there, which happens to be Jacob. Begin season 6. 1 season of flashbacks, 1 season of what looks like different flashbacks but is actually purgatory.
Jacob wouldn’t even have to be Mark Pellegrino. He could have been Henry Ian Cusick and been named Desmond. That way Jacks flashback meeting with him would have been the “touch” moment.”
Goddamn dude, all I can say is WOW!!!…..
Nice
Dude!!!
USA QUALIFIED FOR THE FINAL 16 ON THE WORLD CUP!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS USA!!!!!!
GO ARGENTINA!! GO MESSI!!! GO MARADONA!!!! GOGOGOGO!!!
GREAT WORLD CUP!!! GO SOUTH AFRICA!!!! AWESOME JOB ON THE HOSTING!!!
Them horns though, drive me batshit real fast!!! I would never go in person to one of the games. Some fucker next to me would probably have one. I first would ask him nicely to not do that in my ear. You know he would not be able to help himself. Then I am afraid I would have to shove it up his ass and say “Now blow it out your ass motherfucker!!!” They would probably take me to jail and I would have to become some huge black South African mans bitch!!! I just can’t get very thrilled about that idea for some reason…..

Hey guys,
I just caught a friend of mine watching Season 1 or 2 of Lost and something happening on the episode that mine friend was watching caught my attention, I hope somebody can explain this dilema to me. Here it goes:
If I am not mistaken is the episode were Hurley finds his secret stach of food on the hatch and I think was Bernard tells him “How come you did not lose any weight since most of us lost a lot of weight?” So, my question is the following how can you lose weight if you are dead in a purgatory? Really how?
Can someone explain, pretty please? I know I might look like an idiot asking this question but, once more this show for me makes no sense.
For the same reason Kenny dies in almost every South Park episode and presto, he’s back alive again in another episode.
In fact, if some of the really smart posters here can look at the Kenny Dead/Alive Phenomenon with a lustful, pedantic eye, all could be explained in LOST.
I think.
ped- WHAT THE FUCK?
oh, pedantic. all is well.
You see, everything that happened on the island, and in alt-LA “really happened.” At least that is how “Christen” explained purgatory. It seemed real at the time to them, even though they were all deader than a door nail. How else are you going to get them to march across an island so many times if they knew they were dead? If they knew the truth, they would just sit on the beach, do heroin and fuck each other.
I guess I would kill Charley and take his dope. Try not to have to share with anybody. I am kinda one way like that. Hey now, don’t be judging me!!! If you start sharing, that means you are gonna run out that much faster. Who knows how long yer gonna be there!!! If I still have some after we get rescued or when we meet up at the church, then I’ll share. I aint taking nothing like that into heaven with me because the big guy is gonna be mad at me as it is. So while I am hangin on the beach all kinda buzzed out. I will grab old Claire and give her the flogging of a lifetime. Preggers or not!!! Don’t care because the little bastard never did mean shit about nothing no how. Then i will just lay around all buzzed out, soaking up the rays, bossing everybody around. Dayum, now thats the life, or death, aww shit, now I am all confused again…..
I might be thinking about turning Sun out on some of that shit… Maybe pimp her out to the the Lostie nondescript extras on the beach… That Ho will know her calling when I’m through wit that bitch…
She sooo hawny, she love u lang time.
“Sucky fucky five dorra Joe!!!” “Ten dorra Joe, I bring my sister too.”
Hey YOU ALL EVERYBODY, as you can clearly see I have made it back amongst the living once again!!! As if anybody really gives a rats ass. Well I guess I do. I am kinda partial to me for some gawd awful reason. Purgatory wouldn’t have me because I am still to much of an asshole. Fuck them sons a bitches anyways!!! I just aint ready to go hang out with a bunch of fairys waiting for Jackass to show up anyways!!! So I go to Phoenix a couple weeks ago thinking that they are gonna give me a date as to when the bastards are gonna cut this fucking clog out of my neck. Oh hells no!!! It turns out that everybody that has seen me so far has been nurse practitioners. So I go in and see this fuck who is about ten years younger than I am. Now this feller has a goddamn wall full of degrees. I didn’t look but I think he has a couple up the old watuzy ta boot!!! He looks over all the tests they have done on me over the past couple months and says he wants to put me on a fucking tread mill. Now if it is one thing I have done, thats, I have worked my ass off ever since I quit high school way back in the mid ’70s. Not something I recommend if you are still young. Believe me I have paid for it ever since. Having to work ruthless jobs for very little pay and coming home at night feeling like my back was broke. Just to wind up with a whole lot of nothing to show for it, except to be fifty, unemployed, with nothing in the foreseeable future. Then there is this time that I can’t even get out of bed for days at a time, so even if I did have a job I wouldn’t be able to fucking do it anyways. I know, boo fucking hoo poor me. Indeed!!! Sometimes I even make myself sick of me if I think on it to long. Anyways, no work, then not getting out of bed sometimes for days. Lets see this last go round has been five fucken days now!!! I finally start feeling better this evening when I finally am able to drag my no good for nothing ass out of bed, have something to eat and think I feel good enough to take a shower. So I have gained a lot of weight. I was looking at this fucking tread mill thinking, piece of cake. Fooled my stupid fucking ass!!! When I am done I was laying on this gurney thinking my fucking heart was gonna come flying outta my chest!!! With these two fucks telling me “You done good.” Done good my ass!!! I’m about to have a fucking heart attack here and wishing I could get up and twist this mother fuckers nose right off his face. After finally catching my breath and calming down. They send me out to the waiting room. About ten minutes later old genus boy comes out and tells me. “I will tell them to do whatever they need to do to ya.” So I am wanting to ask this fuck just what the hell that fucking means, but all that comes out is a sarcastic “I guess that means that somebody will be getting in touch with me then?” He shakes his head yes and walks off. So when the hell is that gonna be? Well soon I hope. But then I hear on the news that the government is flat broke, busted, aint even gonna extend unemployment benefits because they spent it all. ON WHAT??? There sure as hell aint no new fucking jobs around my neck of the woods here, and I’ll bet a dollar to a dog turd that them fucks in congress get their fucking paychecks come Friday!!! Thing is the fiscal year starts July 15th, and the way Obama likes to just throw money around like he has good sense, hopefully some will trickle down my way and these bastards will finally get this shit out of me!!! Funny thing is around here they don’t seem to have a problem with delivering all these illegals fucking babys for absolutely nothing and then putting them on WIC and food stamps. It don’t work that way if yer a fucking white boy down on yer luck because they will just tell you “GO GET A FUCKIN JOB!” Well fuck there just aint none to be had because them fuckers got em all!!! Don’t matter anyway because I wouldn’t ask the bastards for a plug fucking nickle. If you do the assholes act like it’s coming right out of their own kids mouths. I wont even apply for unemployment because all they do is make ya feel guilty as a motherfucker for even having the audacity of even asking!!! What a fucking joke!!! Wrong color at the wromg time I guess. If I do something illegal they wont hesitate for a minute to throw my ass in the fucking Calaboose. So if yer over here illegally????? That word should not mean that its a sick bird!!!! I know!!! Get over it ya fucking crybaby. Sometimes it just pisses me off though. So here I sit. I got more time than money. I hope anyways!!! For all of you who read all this bullshit. Well thanks!!! Whether ya agree with me or not is up to you. For all those that didn’t. Well good for you to because it was just a stupid rant anyways!!! So as you can tell I am back on my feet a running. Well, at the mouth anyways!!! For how long? Do any of us really know the answer to that question? I think not. Thats what makes life so exciting!!! Thanks everybody…..
Sounds like you finished writing a treatment for the next Darlton character-driven tv saga.
I think Duchovny could play you very well in that series.
I am not sure if you are saying I suck, or my writing sucks. Either way I am sure you are right. I just wanted to get some shit off my chest. Thats what I love about this site!!! When a feller needs let go of whatever is clouding up his mind. This is the perfect spot, because nobody really gives a fuck what ya say. Well I don’t anyway. I really don’t know about anybody else, so I guess I am overstepping my bounds there. OK I will shut up now…..
Should have added this Smokie: ☺
You write great stuff, ’tis all. ☺
OK, you are going to have to explain the symbol to my dumbass. Hell I can’t even find it on my keyboard…..
Oh SMOKIE, my SMOKIE
You are not dum-dum but quite brilliant and this: “☺” what it really is – a smiley face.
It’s not on your keyboard because the Island gave me special powers when I was raped by Jacob at age 11.
We good?
WOW dude, that is so cool!!! Well not the Jacob raping you thing. So now it just makes me even happier that Ben killed his ass!!! The special powers thing though is cool. What all can you do? Can you make people live forever? Do you go back in time an touch little kids inappropriately like Jacob did? Can you rea-? Dammit I see the fucking Chuck E. Cheese over there. Also, of course we good!!! Just sometimes you got to be careful because I have multiple personalities and sometimes GOD only knows which one will come popping out and act like it’s completely ate up with the dumbass…..
Good to have you back, Smokie.
But, don’t feel so bad. Just look at what those poor bastards went through on that terrible Island (not Gilligan’s)…
See, reality is better than fiction – I think, sometimes, not.
Feel better.
Thanks dude!!! If you think about it though, Gilligan’s Island sounds pretty damn good to me!!! I would be laying around all kinds of buzzed on Charlie’s dope, Making Ginger and MaryAnn fan me with some great big ole Palm leaves. I would be rubbing their back sides. WOW!!! Now that sounds like the good life!!! Please, don’t nobody wake me up…..
Can someone write an abstract or summary of SMOKIE NOT LOCKE’s essay?
HA!!! Hell I don’t make enough sense for that to even be possible…..
Tl;DR: LOST fucked up my life
Dude, so sorry about your med problems – I’m in the same position myself, can’t get out of bed for days, docs just take blood and every now and then some piss and run lots of tests and tell me they’ll get back to me, and then that the tests aren’t “quite” outside the “limits” so they aren’t doing anything. Repeat every six months. Like I could find a job even if I could work it. Anyway man, I feel you, you’re not the only one. I’m thinking of taking a dirt nap soon and just getting this all over with.
Damn dude that is a bummer!!! I wouldn’t wish this shit on my worst enemy. Sometimes I will tell my old lady to load up my gun and put me out of everybodys misery. You know yer in sad shape when you think pushing up daisys is better then living…..
The current focus at mightyfeldspar.com is skateboards and vampires. Although we may start writing about dead people on a magical island just any day now.
I saw the 2009 film Moon the other night. One of the characters in it is very Losty in the way they answer other characters’ questions.
It is later explained why they do so though.
Too bad LOST has no concept of this and instead merely used the “more answers=more questions” as a means to cover up Darlton’s unimaginative incompetence. The big hyped up origin story, one of the last episodes of the series uses this line because they weren’t able to come up with anything more compelling than some religious retelllings.
LOST opened my eyes as too just how bad a story can get
That was a darn good film. Moon 2009. Check it out.
Shutter Island did what Lost couldn’t. It does Darlton’s cherished “looping” story within a story with an ending open to interpretation. Of course it is infinitely superior to anything that Clown Darlton can serve up. It helps that the director is Martin Scorsese.
The Scorsese style of story telling is anything but ABC’s lowest common denominator, cheap, infantile, tripe. To my knowledge, he never went full-retard.
SHUTTER ISLAND SPOILER AHEAD
I was prepared for the possibility that the main character was actually a patient at the start of the film, but kept hoping he wouldn’t be.
MOON SPOILER AHEAD:
For quite some time into the film I thought there was just one Sam and he’d gone insane.

Did I mention “Moon” in my “movies that are what LOST could have been” list? If not, please add it. Brilliant. Directed by David Bowie’s kid (must be nice actually having to work for a living.)
LOST thought: The Island should have been the ultimate force behind everything, it uses man as a toys and tools as it wants in a endless cycle of life and death. Notice the arc of Locke’s faith was foolish and got himself killed believing in it, this logically leads the man of freewill Jack bringing a end to the islands influence. Of course this goes against the grain of every piece of religious rhetoric so we get magic light cave that must be saved for unexplained reasons. I would have been okay with this if we had any idea what would really happened if the island sunk, MIB was a mortal again so it’s not like he was going to go on some smoke godzilla, I guess the official reason is simply because some dudes left on the island would have died when it sunk .
Great point!!! If the island was the cork that kept evil at bay. What good is it after the evil is destroyed? Of course it would have made a hell of a lot more sense if the fucktards would have explained a few things. Well I don’t know about that either. Every time they did explain something it was so fucking retarded that a third grader withh A.D.D. would of had a better idea then they did. As for the dipshits that stayed behind. They didn’t have to stay behind. They could of got on the plane with Sawyer and Kate. So what is left? I guess somebody had to stay behind to protect the funny looking glowy water in the glowing glory hole that can’t nobody find except for the protector himself. Because the original Smokie said he had searched for some thirty years for it but couldn’t find it, and he had lived there all his life!!! So then the question becomes. Why does it need to be protected if it can’t be found? What was it exactly that made it so special? Is Infected the guy who got the job of Jacob after Hurley and Ben done their time? Oh look everybody!!! There is a Chuck E. Cheese over there…..
I mentioned this before. The island should have been like a virus: not alive but still capable of influencing.
I’m watching Persons Unknown. I know, that’s my problem. NBC’s version of you know what. Absolutely terrible. There’s nothing to watch on TV until Dexter starts in the fall. I don’t understand these programmers. What makes them think people don’t watch TV in the Summer?
Go watch ANY of the BBC America stuff…they are all GREAT!
Dammit I missed it!!! It came on at seven instead of nine like it usually does. Fuckin assholes tricked me. Oh well, it’s just as well I guess. I’ll take your word for it that it sucked, Ace. It just pisses me off because now I can’t bitch about it!!! I guess I am getting as bad as a woman about bitchin about something all the damn time. So you know why GOD gave woman two sets of lips right? It’s so they can piss and moan at the same time…..
Smokie, you can catch the pilot and 1st episode at: nbc.com/persons-unknown. You’ll get a kick out it.
I was jes’ wondering…what LOST would be like if each of the actors was actually, really retarded? I mean besides Jacob.
Since we found out – sadly – that ‘it’s all about the characters,’ this could be a really cool new spoof.
Any ideas, folks?
Jack could play the “Simple Jack” character from “Tropic Thunder.”
youtube.com/watch?v=sFR8N_sLvFs
What would LOST be like if each of the writers was actually, really retarded?
Oh, yeah.
Well hell, here all this time I have been thinking all the actors and writers “were” all fucking retards!!! So let me get this straight now. What you are saying is that the actors and the writers of “LO$T” “wasen’t” a bunch of retarded apes throwing their own shit at a wall in hopes that it would stick?!?!?! Well kiss my mother fucking ass!!! Them bastards sure as hell had me fooled. Live and learn I guess…..
Claire has tourettes and goes around saying cock-dick-muthafucka
retarded? That’s a rather harsh thing to say in this day and age. I think Darlton prefered to use “special” in place of “retarded” – as in Aaron, Locke, the cast and the writers were all “special”.
“The Event”
“A suspense-filled journey where the answers only lead to bigger questions.”
nbc.com/the-event/
This is real, I swear to God. Another journey…
Pretty soon, the formula will be so refined they won’t even try to develop plots or characters. Every TV show will just be a mish mash of archetypes bumping into each other as the viewers are manipulated by emoting, music, and cinematography.
THE EVENT
Watch as the Characters meander through the Setting. Things Happen and Characters act, all leading to the Event that will have you talking for weeks to come! THE EVENT, coming soon and staying forever on the Network.
Srsly, this is the show’s description: “The Event is an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter, “The Class”), an everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancee, Leila (Sarah Roemer, “Disturbia”), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. ”
Haven’t we seen this before? Prison Break was an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller following an everyman who investigated his brother’s unjust imprisonment and unwittingly exposed the biggest cover-up in US history. The X-Files was an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller following a porn addict who investigated the mysterious disappearance of his sister, and began to expose the biggest cover-up in US history. Nowhere Man was an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller following a nonexistent man who began to expose the biggest cover-up in US history. But PB, XF, and NW all had hooks. The aspie savant breaking out of prison was an awesome hook. So was unsolveable FBI files, and a man waking up one day and not existing. “Hurr, my girlfriend is missing and I’m gonna find her” isn’t much of a hook.
And “The Event” is the crassest, most self-aware marketing-driven shit title I’ve ever seen.
…and that’s just the good part of it, right?
Dude go back and watch X-files after LOST and you will start to appreciate every nuance of the script
Since Netfilx started streaming XF, a lot of boards I read have started doing XF watch-throughs. (Not sure what to call them.) It’s pretty neat seeing people experience the show for the first time, or people who have already seen it watch it again and pick up on new things. Do you think that will happen with Lost in 15 years? I think it’ll hook noobs just like it hooked me, but people won’t be so excited by rewatching it. “Oh, yeah, I remember this episode. They walk across the island, the flashback makes us believe one thing but it’s actually something else, and nothing matters because half these characters die by season five and the rest become intolerable assholes.”
Lost never did anything as good as Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. Maybe they should have tried. Unclench their assholes and do a little self-aware humor. Too late now.
The Jose Chung ep and the one with Peter Boyle as the psychic are PERFECT. Amazing. I love the pilot saying that after flying the black op vehicle sex is passe.
You ever see Millennium? Its producers went through a revolving door and it reinvented itself every season, but it had a few episodes that rival XF. It did a Jose Chung take on Scientology before Scientology satires were cool.
I like the season 3 finale (Talitha Cumi) with the Cancer man and the Alien (Jeremiah Smith) having that kick ass discussion
JS: I’m not ashamed of my actions
CM: Ashamed? You’re not allowed the luxury of human weakness and penitence. You’re not allowed to put your indulgences ahead of the greater purpose
JS: I no longer believe in the greater purpose
CM: Then your fate is just.
JS: My justice is not for you to meet out. You may have reason. You have no right. You have no means either
CM: You presume to dictate duty to me!?
Contrast that with LOST:
Jack face #231: TELL ME WHERE FRIENDS ARE
BOOM
LOST
Maybe XF borked up their mythology at the end, but I will give them this: the stakes were always clear, and the characters were intellectually and morally engaged with what’s going on.
X-Files:
If they fail, the planet will be recolonized by aliens, and the characters spent six years finding out exactly how that would happen. They had choices: collaborate and survive, pretend to collaborate while secretly resisting, or resist openly.
Lost:
If they fail, somethingsomethingsomething BAD. The only choice was between GOOD and BAD. It’s not interesting watching people make choices like that. It comes down to a random, binary choice. Will Ben be GOOD or BAD in this episode? Is Flocke really a GOOD guy, or is he still a BAD guy? Is Zombie Sayid GOOD or BAD? Are Dogen’s intentions GOOD or BAD?
Dammit, when they started all that binary black and white stuff, I was sure it was some kind of red herring. Who would have thought that the complex, interesting plot threads and characters were the red herring, while the simple, binary plot threads and characters were the real through line?
Oh, yeah, everyone on this site but me.
I almost got into a fight with my date last night b/c she told me she liked the finale.
Also, X Files really took a turn for the worst in Season 5. I just watch a haunted tree episode, followed by posessed doll episode…weird.
Puk, I hope that chick is at least really hot looking – then shit like that can be over-looked…
It’s one of those things that is a terminal turn off (like a girl taking a shit and stinking up your bathroom). No matter how hot she is, it just ruins it for you.
Yep, sounds like a muddled up version of the same old shit to me. It sure seems like there is just no creativity any more. It’s either a fucking cop show or a doctor/hospital show. Even the sit-coms suck big time. The only one I even half assed like is The Big Bang Theory. Of course there is the lawyer shows too. Can’t stand them either. Then there are all them fucking CSI’s. Why do we need ten different shows that all do the same goddamn thing over and over again every fuckin week. I think at one time there was one of them on almost every night of the week. What the hell is up with that eh? Just one a week is one to many for me. Or else ya got like 20/20, and plenty of others just like it. After you seen one though, you’ve seen em all, just the names were changed to protect the innocent. News, now there is enough news to watch. The shit comes on at four o’clock in the morning and goes till ten. Then at noon. Ya got the four o’clock news then world news. Ya got yer news at six, and FOX news at nine that lasts till ten thirty. Is there anybody who can actually watch that much fucking news. If there is, that fucker has got to be one depressed son of a bitch I tell you what. I watch a half an hour of the shit and I get depressed. Fucking people are crazy anymore. Then ya got the late night talk shows. Oh boy, these over paid bastards sure are full of themselves eh!!! Although I do like Craig Ferguson. He is one funny fucker. I like it when he does them stupid puppets. Now that’s some funny shit!!! I guess what I am saying here is, network televison really fucking sucks…..
That’s an affirmative.
You want a change:
Go watch RED EYE on FOX (3 am Eastern/12 mid. Pacific).
I dare ya!
OK…Fox on cable, not free network tv, but sometime ya just HAVE to pay for it, and we all know that there ain’t nuthin’ free in this world.
Craig Fergy us awesome and when he does puppets it’s the best.
NBC … Smart As A Peacock!

a very objective review and analysis of lost
hxxp://www.alwayswatching.net/features/lost-sucks
After reviewing Earth’s Historical documents, we Thermians find the plight of those lost people very sad and disturbing. It is very similar to what that nice man Gilligan went through years ago, only more horrifying with the smoke monster, and that mentally deficient, Jacob person.
We are perplexed as to what happened to them, because the historical documents were missing critical parts of their final plight. Please provide the missing documents to us for review, as the conclusion is obviously incomplete.
Thank you, from the crew of the NSEA Protector.
Dear Mathesar,
Unfortunately, there are no missing “documents.” What you received is the complete story of “Lost” as told by the historian, Damon. We Earthlings are all very distressed over this situation as well.
You may consider investigating other historical documents such as “Dexter,” or “Breaking Bad,” for a more representative view of our planet.
Best regards,

Let it go Damon, let it go. Move on.
Please boldly go to where the doors open and it’s burning flames.

No, nothing like that at all. It will not be just Star Trek, it will be anything and everything that this stupid fucktard even gets close to that will suck…..
It’s difficult to watch the Star Trek movie for a second or third time – too many holes in the “plot.” It could have been good, yes? Lot’s of money to be made in alt-LA I guess…
That Abram’s Star Trek was a mess. Loud and stoopid.
I’m back on the first season on Millennium – very classy so far. Haven’t seen John Locke yet.
Oh, ya. Has anyone figured out the ending of that show Lost yet?
What?!?!?! You say you LO$T a show? Maybe I can hekp you find it. First off, what was the name of the show that you LO$T? Where was the last place you remember having the said LO$T show? Also, why the hell would you watch a show that you can’t figure out the ending? Dayum dude you really need to get it together. Nobody would watch a show that nobody could figure out. By the way I recommend that you seek professional help for your problem as soon as you possibly can. You have a very serious condition here and it needs to be treated soon, or else it will spread throughout your body. It is a darkness, that if infects your entire body you have become claimed. I believe that they will give you a pill after putting you on this table and prodding you with extremely hot devices. Remember now that you have to take the pill willingly. Most importantly, watch out for this feller by the name of Jackass, because he likes to steal the pill and take it himself…..
Actually, I got Lost while watching a show named Lost. It’s very confusing because I also Lost it (the show) somewhere on my hard drive as well. Furthermore, I totally Lost it when the ending made absolutely no sense.
Has anyone figured out the ending of the show Lost yet?
“Oh, ya. Has anyone figured out the ending of that show Lost yet?”
Why, yes…we have!
I guess we did after all come to think of it!!! The main characters name was JackASS. Kate was a stupid ASS. Locke was always making an ASS out of himself. Desilu Who was a special dumbASS. Hurley was a fat ASS. Ben was a fish eyed foolish ASS. Richard was an eternal ASS. Miles wanted Sawyers ASS. I would like to poke Claire in the ASS!!! Danial was a smart ASS. Tom liked friendly man ASS. Charlie was an addicted ASS. Screaming Mike was always hollering for Walt’s ASS. Jacob was a retarded ASS. Smokie had a black gas ASS. In THE END they showed us that they were into butt plugs. They seemed to have a fetish with pulling them out and sticking them in. So I wonder if Damon & Cuse are laying up in a high class hotel somewhere in the French Riviera, sticking hundred dollar bills up each others ASSES…..
Let’s face it:
LOST just has no cl-ASS!
Thats a great ASSumption on your part!!! Keep up the good work soldier we need more good men like you…..
My understanding is that the sale of butt-plugs have sky rocketed since the Lost finale. it’s true, you can look it up.
I really don’t know why, but that is some funny shit…..
Apparently, a “subliminal effect” occurred when Jack plugged up the light hole with the huge cork…
It was universally interpreted as a “butt-plug.” Many hundreds of thousands of viewers ran out to the Adult Book store to buy them, not really knowing why – very mysterious.
OK…how ’bout this:
All of the OTHERS are found to be cannibals.
Which of the LOSTIES get eaten first, and why?
And don’t get wise on me and say: ‘oh, they took the children first cause they’re the most tender, yummmmm!’
Charlie would eat-out Rose
Clair would eat-out Rousseau
Miles would eat-out Sawyer
etc, etc
…blowing smoke(monster) up their asses all the while?
Great:
ZOMBIE ISLAND!
Dude it’s like every Lost actor has at one point been in the X-Files
Frederic Lehne who plays US Marshal Edward Mars is an FBI agent in one of the season 5 episodes
Holy ass fucking moses! Bernard is in one of the episodes!
Fuck me, the John Lenon looking guy is in The X-Files
Maybe if you keep watching you will find out that you were even in one. I was!!! Really, I’m not lieing. It was episode ahh, OK!!! I wasn’t in one. As a matter of fact I have never even watched the show…..
HOLY SHIT, Jacob was in one of the episodes.
We’re all dead…it’s over

And we made this place so we could meet each other, because the time we spent watching Lost was the most important time of our lives. Also, this thread has come full circle. (We always knew we wanted to end the thread with a callback to the first post. It shows just how much planning went into setting up our arc.)
“…because the time we spent watching Lost was the most important time of our lives.”
Really, Deus?
Was it THAT important to you, or are you just ‘having a laugh?’
I’m so serious I would say this in a church. Or, if you want to get pedantic, an interfaith chapel with symbols of ALL religions, because they’re all true, and none of them are. Now follow me into the light.
You callin me a paedophile Mate?
THIS is the true meaning of life:
(Comments wont nest below this level).
I don’t get it…..
confusing…
This message board is all about the characters. Not about posts making sense. If you’re confused, I don’t know what to say to you, because everything was clearly explained even though it didn’t have to be because it was about the characters and it wasn’t all going to be explained all along.
Also, let me be the first to admit I cried when reading the end of the forum.
Ha!!! You got that shit right about the posts not making sense thats for sure. Thats been the best part about this site. Then again we are trying to have a discussion about a show that made absolutely no sense what so ever. So trying to make sense out of something that makes no sense is senseless in its own self. Thus any and every comment about said senseless show making sense becomes insignificant. Because you just can’t make sense out of something that don’t make any sense or else it would have made sense in the first place. Which would make the comments make sense, but that can’t happen because nothing made any sense. Does any of that make sense? Since I can’t make sense, since or cents out of anything anyways I seem to have fit right in…..
‘residuum’ is our purgatory. It doesn’t matter when you started watching L O S T, sooner or later we all finished watching it, and joined this thread.
Now take us into the light, Tyler!
Is this the alt-whylostsucks.com?
Yes this is. Actually this is the church and we are just waiting for everybody to show back up so we can open the doors and as we go through them we will fall into this huge lake of fire. So stand your ground and don’t let the bastards fool you into thinking that it’s something else…..
It’s only been a few weeks since the show ended and I’ve nearly erased it from my memory. That tends to happen when you’re engaged in something great like Breaking Bad or a marathon of the Wire. I don’t even know why I thought Lost was such a big deal in the first place, it’s about as mediocre as any other tv show in its genre.
ABC has just announced a spin-off to Lost. It will be called Exposé, and star the original Nikki and Paulo characters from the Lost series.
“We feel there will be real demand for this new series as the characters are certainly compelling and already has an established fan base.”
abc.com/Exposé
I just plain refuse to check this out in fear it just might be true…..
OK, you all everybody I think I am ready. Monday? Yes it’s Monday. 7:00 o’clock? Well it’s 5:15, but I think that it is close enough now I won’t forget. TV? Working. NBC? Kinda fuzzy but it has been worse. Funny thing is I think the old lady only watches that Donald Trump show on NBC and thats it. That tells you for sure that network really sucks. Guess I am ready. The old lady just told me that after this it is gonna start coming on Saturday night from now on. I would think that time slot is a lousey one to have. Don’t people go out and party on Saturday night? I know way back when I had a life that Saturday night was party night to the max. Back when life was enjoyable!!! Oh well…..
Smokie, you mention the ‘old lady’ often enough, and I was wondering:
WHO on LOST does your old lady remind you of the most, and why?
Putting me on the spot eh? The old lady is a Homely Old Opinionated Texan. She would go on a rant from hell about something didn’t nobody give a rats ass abut, and I would say “your a HOOT!” She is pretty strong minded and aint afraid to say exactly what’s on her mind. So I had to think pretty hard on this. Very dangerous thing for me to do. After some crazy kinds of screeching sounds, some smoke out of my ears and a major migraine that lasted about twenty minutes. The best I could come up with is we would be similar to Rose and Bernard. We bicker at each other all the time. We were both in dead end relationships and wound up being single at about the same time. Against my better judgement, we decided to hook up and give it another try. I figured we would last about six months at best. We are both hard headed individuals that don’t like being told what to do. We don’t have but a couple of friends and like to keep to ourselves. You keep your nose in your own backyard and I keep mine in mine and we will get along just fine. Well that was fifteen years ago. So it just goes to show you how much I know about anything. Being out of work for the last two years now and with her being a bookkeeper out of the house we actually get along real well. Neither one of us are drama queens like a lot of people we know. We don’t fight about money because if ya aint got any, then what are ya fighting about it for? We thought about getting married a couple times, but so far we have decided, why ruin a good thing? If it aint broke, why try fixing it? A piece of paper just aint a gonna help us anyways. Standing rule of the house has always been. If ya don’t like being there then don’t let the door hit ya on the ass on yer way out. That applies to us, kids and critters alike, Don’t like the idea of anybody being here against their will. We been together so long now neither one would know how to act being around somebody else. So there ya go. Sorry about it being so long, but you are the one who asked…..
That was really touching, Smokie, and it is clear that you two really do love each other. Seriously Dude.
I am in a very, very similar situation myself and it’s comforting to know there are kindred spirits around us all.
Thanks for the honesty, Smokie. Enjoyed it mucho; enjoy you too.
“Finally, most of us can’t wait for the “new chapter” of Lost — 12 minutes of never-before-seen footage from Lindelof and Cuse. (Note: This is also available on the Season 6 set.) I was treated to one minute of this. I begged to see more, but no dice.”

Comments:
Not that I don’t want to watch this, but seriously: Lost was a show where entire episodes went by without stuff happening, what could they possibly do with fifteen minutes.
Add “The New Man In Charge” to the list of underwhelming titles.
Meh. As much as I’ll probably enjoy this, it’ll feel weird watching it. Darlton said so many times leading up to the finale that the story ends at 11:30 on May 23. So why an “epilogue”? Now, don’t get me wrong, like I said, I’m excited to see it, but… they lied.
i refuse to get excited about anything Lost-related ever again. this 11 minute epilogue is gonna be lame, guaranteed.
Five minutes of walking, several minutes of blank staring, and Hurley saying “what” after every “answer.”
Five minutes of walking, several minutes of blank staring, and Hurley saying “what” after every “answer.”
————————————————————————————————————
Don’t you think he would be saying “DUDE!” Just sayin’…..
More exactly he’d be saying “DUDE!” between big mouthfuls…
Personally I don’t know why Darlton would bother spanking their monkey with an extra 12 minutes of Lost. You had 2.5 hrs to make your big statement and now you need another 12 minutes of intercourse with the audience to say exactly what? Boycott the DVD or wait for the bargain bin sale.
This is total manipulation. They’re shamelessly humping the dead shark.
Even if I had the money, or even just had plenty of money I wouldn’t buy nothing that might remotely give them fuckers any kind of residuals what so ever. They said it was over and that was going to be it. So we should have known that there would have to be something else to it. With that ending nobody would have bought it if there wasn’t going to be something extra to go along with it. As for me the show actually ended somewhere after half way of season three. In turn there aint nothing that they could put on that DVD that could possibly make me buy it…..
If they rely on lame gimmicks to trick people into buying the product what does that say about the product?
Take the money and spend it on bread to feed the ducks down at the park. You’ll get far more entertainment and satisfaction knowing that your money went into making quality duck poop…
OK, I watched Persons Unknown and am having mixed feelings about it. I can’t say I thought it really sucked. I can’t say I thought it was great either. The force field is a bit much, but still more believable than a glowing glory hole that aint a UFO that crashed on an island and is manipulating everything around it. I can say I did like the new bitch running around kicking the shit out of everybody and taking that fuckers clothes while he was still in them. There were spots that were kind of boring. All TV shows are that way though. It didn’t seem to drag to bad, as a matter of fact compared to LO$T it moved rather nicely. After watching LO$T I am not sure if I am qualified to be commenting on shows for at least a year because I think it brought my standards down so low I don’t even know if they are standard anymore. So all in all I give it an OK. Not quite good enough to be in the good bracket. Yet didn’t suck enough to be in the bad bracket. I’m not sure yet if it might be the government watching them. Or to even go as far as to say maybe it’s aliens from outer space. Which is better then being from inner space. Umm I think. It could be that it’s not on ABC so Tinkerbell can’t be jealous and put a curse on it. Disney can’t get its hands on it to make it a Fairy Tale either…..
You’re hooked, brother.
It’s hard for me to sit down and watch TV, let alone enjoy it. Now after watching LO$T I really don’t want to get to involved with a series for the fear of it going full retard. I guess that is what you would call LO$T Syndrome. I guess I am willing to give P.U. another episode or two but I know now just how fast and easy it is for a TV show to turn to shit…..
I watched it once for about 15 minutes.
It moved way to slow. I am going to wait and watch the last episode and then see if I think I made a mistake not watching the whole series.
Smokie, it already is full retard – have no fear. And, we already know it sucks. Man up…
So Smokie…is the pretty white chick that escaped (Ambassador’s daughter) alive or dead?
I just love it when she says “Daddy!”
Wait…that sounds a bit pervie…m’kay.
From what I got out of it I think that she is in the church waiting for the Jackass to show up to get his tail. I think what the one gal seen on the TV was just to keep her from freaking out. Although it seems that freaking them out is what gives them their jollys. The thing is they are watching some others too. I am giving my house a good once over to make sure them fuckers aint watching me…..
I was waiting for Tommie Gavin in RESCUE ME to wake up dead in that same church…
Nah…New Yorkers wouldn’t put up with that crap for a minute.
Toy Story 3 has pretty much the same ending of LOST (you can let go now) and triumphs because it fits the series while in LOST’s case it feels disjointed from the rest of the series. Pixar’s LOST would be incredible .
Holy shit, I can’t fucking believe it. LO$T got an emmy nomination. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Now how in the name of any thing that is holy could that even be possible? Some dumbass must have been watching something else and thought it was LOST…..
I am still here.
LOST sucked.
Note past tense.
The body of the shark has sunk to the floor of the lagoon and is now being eaten by crabs, gopher fish and worms.
OK…new concept:
If there was a “As Seen on TV” product that you could create specifically for the LOST cognoscenti, what would it be?
I can envision one Vince Shlomi. He’s probably better known to us as the ShamWow Guy. He is pitching the amazing “BUttYouPlug” that will magically shape itself to stopple up any and every possible hole with a minimum of fuss.
Just watch him throw one over his shoulder and it somehow finds its way into the Island’s open Glory Hole, preventing Jack from dying and keeping the show on track for a new SEVENTH SEASON!
Shit, I could win an Emmy for this…
Thats not to bad actually. The question is though, is it emmy worthy? Well let me put it to ya like this. Watching the final season of LO$T was an extremely difficult and very excruciatingly painful thing to have to endure. With the finale even worse!!! So if that shit got nominated for an emmy, yours is a shoe in. One other thing I have been meaning to ask, and that is, how is Meade doing? Thanks…..
Why, after I left my raincoat over at Meade’s rooming house…you know what happens, Bud.
Thanks for asking!
Damn dude, I have to come clean with ya here. I have never read the story. Although what I do know about the story, it sounds like a classic. I will try to find it, but usually these type of books are hard to get your hands on…..
OK…don’t know why you mentioned what you did, but let’s make up and watch HAVEN tonight on SyFy and compare notes.
If the ‘old lady’ will let you, that is ☺!
I said what I said because it appeared that you figured I knew what happened after the raincoat was left at the Boarding House. I didn’t know so I figured I didn’t want to lead you on as if I did. As for watching anything other then the three regular networks I’m kind of shit out of luck. I am to poor to own cable or satellite so I do a lot of not watching TV…..
OK Smokie, no harm done…HAVEN really sucked donkey dicks and you really didn’t miss a bloody thing.
Seems they are gonna have a new mystery or somesuchthing every week ala XFILES only with shitty third-rate actors and poo-poo direction from Canada is seems.
Summer suckith mucho…so I will take my sorryass tomorrow to see PREDATORS which must, by definition, be a killer sequel in the series.
WE WANT A SOUTH PARK EPISODE TELLING WHAT EVERYONE REALLY THINKS ABOUT LOST!!!!
Here is a site you may want to check out if you haven’t already…..
hxxp://www.southparkx.net/
I was watching Deadliest Catch tonight and of course it’s a rerun. Tonights was one of the better episodes so I decided to watch it. After it is over, LO$T comes on. It was the Keamy doing the egg thing. Man that dude has some gifuckengantic assed teeth!!! This shit is so bad I couldn’t make myself watch it. Now I wonder how I made it through the first time…..
His teeth would make a gopher cry.
Whenever the smoke monster was coming they made some sounds like sticks. But there was some other sound. Did anyone hear something like a dolphin?
Every time I heard it I was thinking WTF.
I didn’t hear that – but there were a lot of different sounds when Smokie would do his thing. There was a chain sound though, like a ships anchor I thought. But, that nothing to do with the characters for fuck sake.
More X-files connection
That guy who plays Picket on Lost (Sun shot his wife b/c she was so jealous that she was so much hotter than she was and had a prettier nose and bigger tits and actually knew how to act), he’s in an episode of the X-files
Sun would be much more interesting with huge tits and dressed like a 2 cent whore. She could do that in the porn sequel:
“The Smelly Ass Filthy Asian Whores of Lost”
Could be fun. Mama-san Paik is turning out little Ji-Yeon, so Sun goes undercover in the Paik Industries brothel to break her out. Sun gets along well–very well–with her roommate, a mysterious Thai tattoo artist, but bottom bitch White Kate is threatened by the comely newcomer and attacks her in the shower. The two women end up under the “care” of Mama-san’s physician, the incompetent and sadistic Dr. Jack. They are forced to work together to escape Dr. Jack’s ministrations, then they return for Sun’s roommate and daughter. Just as they are about to escape the brothel compound, they realize they all died in a boating accident years before.
LOL – you just penned the first episode. Every week is a new whore oriented story, where they always realize they were dead in the end…
Well you all everybody it has been a fun ride!!! Unfortunately all things must end. All them old clichés are right. Turn out the lights the party is over. The fat lady sung her heart out. We have beat this dead horse till there just aint nothing left to beat. Nothing!!! There were a lot of people who stopped in and had a dance or two. As for me, I was having so much fun I joined the band. So to all who came in and had a drink, fanbois and haters alike I stand like a soldier undaunted and salute you. If you only posted once or a thousand times, it took every single one to make this site. No matter what, we left our mark on that show that is to big to ever heal. We faced our enemy with courage and might!!! We were not defeated, We were the winners We were the ones to taste victory!!! We may have stumbled a few times but never did they take us to the ground. With the taste of victory still on my lips. I seem to be the last of the soldiers still in the field. With the last battle under my belt, the war is finally over and everybody has went home. So I sheathe my sword and wonder if it was worth it. I cannot answer this question whole heartedly. The pain and suffering those stupid fucking fanbois had to go through, had to be unbearable. Week after week of nothing but filler, to the ending that was horrendous at best. The epic masterpiece turned into nothing but dribble. Giving their beloved fanbois the finger the whole way through. Fucking each and every one of their fans right up the old poop shute, and not even a little peck on the cheek after they blow their wad all over that fanboy ass. Poor stupid fanboy will turn around and let them do it again and again. It really makes you wonder about the intelligence of the general fanboy. I personally have never cared for the taste of crow. So I will bid you all everybody adieu, and exit stage left. I will come out for an encore sometime in the future. Just for shits and giggles…..
That horse just got beat to death – finally and sadly.
hxxp://twitpic.com/23uz74/full
So sad… it’s bad enough that losers dress up as a Trekkie but this takes the cake.
Suck a dick in Miami, you fucking loser.
me too Smokie…bye everyone
…bye everyone
bye…
crap…not the Church again….
“RUN!!!” Dude you need to get the hell out of there. Things are not as they appear. The bastards have told lie after lie. What it is behind them doors, is so terrifying that I don’t have time to explain it to you right now. Just get the hell out of there before it’s to late…..
Labron liked the ending of Lost – proof he’s gay and retarded.
He can bounce a fucking ball – FUCK YOU CHOSEN ONE.
Tom the gay other is in the x-files too
I don’t think you have mentioned Kate or Sawyer yet. Just goes to show they weren’t no good to begin with…..
Wanders in…
LOST SUCKS
Wanders out…
Well I guess there aint no you all everybody left. I can hear my own voice echoing through the halls. Once a great place, full of excitement and jeers. Is now empty, all that lingers is a void of nothingness. Complete with empty space are the caverns that once held joy and the shouts derisively at the suckfest that the fanbois considered a masterpiece. Though their masterpiece lays shattered on the floor, the little fanboy weeps incessantly. But really who the fuck cares? The asswipes can’t leave shit alone long enough to get accustomed to its time slot. Oh hell no, they gotta move shit around all the time so by the time you remember it’s on, it’s over!!! I am referring to Persons Unknown. So now I have missed two weeks in a row, so fuck it!!! I give up trying to watch the shit. It probably aint no good anyways and the TV gods are protecting me. So there ya go. Another meaningless rant from the king of dumbassness for ya all to enjoy!!! Or not. That is if anybody even comes by anymore…..
You all everybody is gone
But I’m still here. Smokie Not Locke, you and I will be the guardians of the island. I get to be number one.
So what are we gonna do for the rest of eternity? We could talk about Lost. Let’s list all the things in Lost that we still like…
1. Music. I can separate the music from the show and enjoy the soundtracks. I’m not saying the music was high art, but I love melodramatic leitmotif. Did Michael Cappuchino win any awards for this? He should have.
2. Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson. Maybe they’ll get a sitcom together. It could be like Two and a Half Men, Terry is the horny old man with a different girl every night, Emerson is the shy cuckolded father, and they’re trying to raise a kid. Make the kid Alex, retcon The End out of existence, and you have your Lost sequel. Danielle Rousseau can do guest spots to belittle Ben and spoil Alex.
3. Eyeliner guy. Maybe it’s a mancrush, maybe it’s Maybelline.
4. Smokie sound effects. The big long hoot followed by the crashing will go down in television history as a really, really good sound effect. I expect George Lucas and Ben Burtt to work it into the next version of Star Wars, either as the Krayt dragon call or a comedy droid falling down and stubbing its toe.
How come you get to be #1? OK, thats fine if it’s like STAR TREK where the first officer was Picard’s number one. Or else i’m taking my ball and going home!!! HA!! Reading that over again, I kinda like it. OK, list all the things about LO$T I like aye.
1. IT’S OVER.
2. Did I mention that IT’S OVER.
3. Refer back to number one.
I said refer…..
So I came back; couldn’t stay away…
It’s OK dude, aint nobody gonna hold it against ya. As a matter of fact I recommend it for full recovery from the hideous trauma you have had to endure over such a long period of time. The process of healing for such a tragic event cannot be cured overnight. It takes time and patience for full recovery to take place. Remember your long-suffering through this tragady took time and it will take time for the pain and suffering to diminish. I can promise you with hard work and a lot of effort, (I recommend good drugs) you can finally be set free of the chains that bind you and you can go forth into the cruel world with your head held high. With only a few scars left to remind you, “never” to go there again. Good luck my friend for the journey ahead is a long and hard one, but I have the utmost faith in you. May the Smoke Monster be with you…..
Hey pretty soon we’ll have enough to actually return to the Island!
There is one question I would like to ask. Is that something we really want to do? Trying to get everybody back would be nearly impossible. Then trying to get everybody to meet up in L.A. Out of the question. Forget about it dude. It just aint a gonna happen. So now don’t go doing something foolish like trying to hang yourself and just stay the hell away from that Ben Linus dude…..
But…but…I actually LIKE Ben Linus!
Especially the Dr. Ben Linus in the sideways universe.
And he helped Alex by giving up the Principal’s position…AND HE DIDN’T TRY TO FUCK THE YOUNG CHICK!!!
THAT, friends, earns him 100% redemption in my playbook of this man’s Universe.
Of course he prolly screws the Mom but that’s noble too and a just and fitting reward.
Damn dude, you went and let him suck you into his web. You just can’t trust the bug eyed little bastard. You just always have to remember what he did to the Alex on the island. He let that gaddamned Keamy go and bite her with them big assed teeth and she didn’t never come back from it. Then the time with his daddy in the VW bus when he farted and it gagged him so bad the poor son of a bitch suffocated and died. I am telling you straight up dude, when you see that frog eyed freak coming, you had better turn tail and run like you had good sense…..
Is there no redemption in the world at all, Smokie?
After all, he kilted Jacob with John’s big phallic knife…and preety, pretty soon we were all treated to “The End!”
That’s gotta count for summin, Dude.
Well OK, I guess everybody deserves another chance. But keep your eye on him because you just never know. It’s that spot thing on the Tiger…..
Why does Lost suck?
The ending of Lost did not make any sense. Why?
Please email me in Cleveland.
Dear Earthlings:
After reviewing Earth’s Historical documents, we Thermians find the plight of those Lost people very sad and disturbing. It is very similar to what that nice man Gilligan went through years ago, only more horrifying with the smoke monster, and that mentally deficient, Jacob person.
We are perplexed as to what happened to them, because the historical documents were missing critical parts of their final plight. Please provide the missing documents to us for review, as the conclusion is obviously incomplete.
Thank you, from the crew of the NSEA Protector.

RESPONCE
Dear Mathesar,
Unfortunately, there are no missing “documents.” What you received is the complete story of “Lost” as told by the historian, Damon. We Earthlings are all very distressed over this situation as well.
You may consider investigating other historical documents such as “Dexter,” or “Breaking Bad,” for a more representative view of our planet.

OK, I really don’t get why this was posted again. I could see it if there was a reply to the reply, but no. It seems that the reply that was given, (by a very highly reguarded official of the planet) was put together as one comment and reposted. I am fully aware that I personally am lacking in fully functioning brain cells over the amount of two. Still I fail to understand the reasoning here. If anyone could clarify this even slightly, it would be duly appreciated…..
Hey you all ever- er Ummm nobody!!! Here I am for my weekly or maybe that should be weakly rant. Wow, the comments have come to a stand still eh!!! So that leaves me with nothing really to rant about. I guess I could be kinda like Seinfeld and make my rant about nothing, but I donno. Usually thats about what most of my rants consist of anyways, so that would in reality be nothing new. Or maybe be like LO$T and make up a bunch of mysteries but not answer anything. Then again that was pretty fucked up so I don’t want to do that either. So, not that it is to anybodys surprise but I guess I am kinda stumped. Oh yeah, I did try to make Pukster my friend on facebook last week but nothing happened. I might not have done something right though. If so, thats not really surprising either. Maybe I will try again later. Since we are on the subject of later, I guess I am done for now, so that is when I will see you all ever- er Ummm nobody. Laters…..
Well I’m not pukster on facebook, and my privacy settings are pretty high. Plus I’m listed as “John Smith”, so you might have to message 47,000 Johns
Mt somewhat LOST inspired sci fi comicbook is finally on sale:
THE SMELL OF LIME (TSOL)
It’s at IndyPlanet or there is a link on my blog.
WOW!!! They sure are a bunch of touchy fuckers over at the Encyclopædia Dramatica!!! Hell I got banned on my first day. What a fucking joke of a website anyways. I guess ya gotta kiss their asses while they talk shit about you but when you stick up for yourself and tell the bastards they can suck my ass. Well I guess ya get banned. Oh well, all I can say is that I have been thrown out of better places then their shit site. It’s like there just aint no site out there I am able to fit in. Well fuck them all, thats what I say. It will be a cold ass day in hell before I go letting a bunch of punk motherfuckers go talking shit while I sit there and take it. Then turn around and kiss their asses!!! HAHAHA!!! I don’t think so…..
Sorry you got banned there…was it something impolite that you said?
Son of a bitch, I had wrote this big old long ass essay on just how fucking lame that site is and I had clicked the add comments button. About thirty seconds later there was this really loud crackle of thunder that had me ducking and shit. Bigger than shit the fucking power went out. This was at about five o’clock and it’s almost eight thirty now. So all this time I was hoping that the comment stuck. We finally get power back and no such luck. Oh well, thats how my luck has been for awhile now so I am starting to expect it any more. OK, let me tell you, that fucking site is a fucking joke and a half!!! I think it’s worse than the fuselage about getting butt hurt about the slightest fucking thing boy. They got this dude that they think is some kind of super hero or god or something, I don’t know. I checked him out and wasn’t very impressed. I guess the cops had showed up at his house and he wound up going to jail on a bunch of drug charges. Fucking dip shit anyways!!! Them fuckers were all kinds of boobing about the cops not having a search warrant. So this is exactly what I said. I said, if you got your hand in the cookie jar and unexpectedly your mom walks into the room. Now is your dumbass any less caught because you didn’t think she would come into the kitchen? I figured the statement was general enough. I wasn’t pointing my finger at no one. Really didn’t even think that much about it. I had moved on to another thread when all of the sudden my window changes and here is this message telling me that I am banned. I guess you better don’t say nothing bad about their god, even in general, or your ass is banned!!! After that screen come up and I read it, I started laughing like hell. That is some really funny shit there!!! Fuck them ass kissing, brainwashed sons a bitches. They can all suck my ass!!! It will be a goddamned cold day in hell before I would step foot at their site ever again. Not that they give a rats ass I am sure…..
I got banned from there once. They are really pissy there.
Can someone please go tell Rose and Bernard that the show has ended. Seems that Darlton just plain forgot and now they’re patiently waiting in the jungle shack for the crew to come and film their big finale sequence.
Rose has been learning how to please Bernard, the likes he has never seen. Deep throat, bunny fuck, the hole nine yards. He don’t need no finale sequence – he gits one every five minutes. That hoe knows her chit.
WOW!!! That’s some pretty cool shit there. I wonder if they are secretly making porno movies and selling them on the black market…..
LMAO, you assholes are still here ripping LOST^^…
Yep, and here you are ripping us. Well kinda me I guess since don’t hardly no one come around anymore. Thanks for stopping by dude, it’s been awhile. Come by again when you can stay a little longer eh…..
Not true…I come around because I CARE!
Take it back, take it back, Dude!☺
I liked that TV show Lost. But, what happened in the end? How did the main guy Jacob become retarded?
Please excuse me for being out of the loop, I’ve been busy screwing over 6 million friends in Northern Ohio.
Hello everyone from Miami. I love this site because the Island reminds me of Cleveland, and Dan Gilbert is just like the Smoke Monster!
Some people say I have no class. What does that mean? Is it something you learn growing up? I just don’t know, and neither does my mama.
Speaking of my mama, I’m sure glad Delonte West got traded away from her. That whole thing really bothered me with him fuckin her and all.
Oh well goodbye Northern Ohio I’ll really miss you… NOT.
PS Pick up one of my new Miami jerseys when you get a chance. No thanks in advance from me, Nike, or ESPN.
I’m sorry Dude…it’s just that I’m just not into sports.
I hope you golf season is better this year, though.

PS. If you get lonely, I hear that Kim Kardashian is available…she does love dem swarthy dudes swingin dem big clubs, or so I am told ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺!
I am with you on this one Potty. I have a hard time sitting around and watching a bunch of guys that are extremely over paid, either throwing, kicking or knocking in some form or fashion, around a ball of some sort. There is just no sense of verisimilitude and skiffy rigor what so ever involved in these activities. Well I guess I should say for me anyways…..
There you go again with using the most cool big words, Smoke-Guy! Too much. Does your wife understand you when you talk like that?
Not many sports I like to watch or even give a shit about: Boxing is OK, Sumo wrestling, any of the shooting sports too, and ladies Olympic ice skating and girls gymnastics…of course!
None of that shit on the Island, though…
I like boxing too. That is if they are going to fight and not just dance. That shit of one guy being scared and the other guy damned glad he is, is just plain boring. I used to love to watch the womens roller derby, now that was usually pretty kick ass!!! As for the big words there, I stole them from Deus ex Pede. I have just been waiting around for a good spot to use them because I really liked them. Hell I aint smart enough to come up with anything that has more than four letters to it most of the time…..
Well hell, this is the 2000th post on this page and I wish I could think of something witty and smart to say. Thats simply out of the question for me though. Those are character traits that seem to elude me. I sure never ever thought that any page would get a thousand posts, let alone twice that many. Actually if Tyler wouldn’t have put this page up there would be more than thirty five hundred comments for the finaly. It’s hard to believe that when I first showed up here we would be lucky if there was three hundred comments…..
Good God man, I thought I didn’t have a life!
You actually count the posts here and jump on the significant numbered ones? Does that impress the little woman Smokster?
Gotta give you credit though – I wish I thought of doing that!
I tell you what, if it’s one thing I definitely do not have what so ever. That is a life!!! No job means no money and no money means no life. I sit on my hands because if I don’t they will want to do something and that always costs money. I will usually come by at least once a day to see if there are any new posts. Thats why I can usually get the good numbers, you know like 4 8 15 16 23 42 and 2000. Even though the old lady thought LO$T really sucked the big one she wouldn’t ever check out the site. She did think it was pretty cool that this site existed after I found it…..
Oh man!!! I can’t believe that there was no C2K party. No hats, no hooters, no nothing. This was a historic event for this site and nobody came. I am very disappointed in each and every one of you!!! How could everybody be a no show? Is there nobody out there that even cares anymore?!?!?! Dammit I got all dressed up for nothing. I feel very foolish right at this moment…..
Milch’s End to ‘Deadwood’: I Don’t Believe in Endings…
I don’t either after they totally massacred the ending to LO$T. I will always be leery of TV shows endings for the rest of my life…..
I’m still watching Persons Unknown – it’s insultingly bad, lowest common demoninator crap. It’s doomed to be cancelled. Pure Big Three shit… So bad, they give it away for free on their web site. All I can think of is who cares? So easy to be two steps ahead, and stupid dialog that will kill a horse… Network TV skinks.
Yeah I feel that way too, but I really liked (kinda-sorta) the doomed “Happy Town.” They have a few epis in the can but refuse to show it…they suck the big one!
Man I am just destined not to watch that show. I have missed like four episodes now so I figure that it just aint in the cards. I missed the one, then they changed the day and by the time I remembered that it was on, it was over. Last week we had a pretty major storm come through and it knocked the power out for about five hours. Missed it again!!! Being I am on outside antenna television, the power outage knocked out the translator and we slowly got a few of the stations back but we have yet to get NBC back. Missed again!!! From what you say though I guess I really don’t give a shit. The episodes I did get to watch were pretty boring with the plot moving slowly too. So now missing this many episodes I don’t think I am gonna even try to make heads or tails out of it now. It’s just to late to even try…..
I wish you had a job, Smokie!
Thanks dude. It sure would give me something better to do than hang around here all the time…..
I’ve been binging through cable horror anthologies on Netflix. This is why they are better than Lost:
1. Each episode is self-contained, with a beginning, middle, and end
2. Variety of writers, directors, and stars keeps things fresh.
3. Since it’s horror, everyone usually dies and goes to hell. I know this happened in Lost, too, but it’s more explicit in horror shows.
On the downside, they can be kind of cheesy, but cheesy is better than shitty.
Can you name a few so we can partake too?
Tales from the Crypt is a classic. It spawned a Saturday morning cartoon, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, and several unremarkable movies.
Showtimes’ Masters of Horror (?) is hit and miss, but they really did bring in some talent. “Cigarette Burns” revealed too much too soon, but had a really cool premise–a collector of esoterica hires a Boondock Saint to find a lost film that drives people mad. It’s probably my favorite from that series so far. “Family” is sort of a suburban Psycho with George Wendt. “The Screwfly Solution” is about a gender apocalypse, and is very effective at building an oppressive sense of inevitability. Some of the other episodes were a bit too torture porny for me.
Fear Itself, I just found out, is sort of the continuation of MoH. “In Sickness and Health” is about a relationship where someone has a secret, and that secret is revealed–secretly–forcing someone to deal with it in secret. It all takes place over several hours, in one location, with just a few characters. “Something With Bite” has a clever take on werewolves. “New Year’s Day” is yuppies dealing with the zombie apocalypse, or not dealing with it very well. It uses flashbacks to good effect. “Spooked” also has flashbacks and some Lost-like themes about guilty secrets. Hurley’s girlfriend is in it.
The Hunger isn’t very good most of the time, but it has bumpers with Terence Stamp playing a cross-dressing Edwardian aristocrat. He’s replaced in the second season by David Bowie, but I haven’t seen any of that yet. I remember liking “The Secret of Shih-Tan,” about a Chinese cook obsessively chasing a secret cannibalistic cookbook, or something like that. A few others were okay, I guess. It was heavy on the lite-R erotica; lots of femme fatales who would steal men’s souls and gruff voiceovers about dames in red or whatever.
I guess I like the psychological stuff. Hidden things, secrets, people obsessively searching them out. There’s a protagonist, but the protagonist is heading towards his own destruction. Since the protagonist is usually imperfect, we can enjoy their destruction, because it’s just evil being eaten by Evil. I don’t like horror where fundamentally good people are abused, I can see that in real life any day.
Thanks, but where can I see the Masters of Horror? I don’t rx to Showtime just the standard HBO gaggle and I’m not sure if Comcast will make it available in the West on ‘On Demand’ even if I did subscribe.
Speaking of it…I did enjoy the original vamp move The Hunger as well as the book.
I just finished punishing myself by re-watching the 3rd X-Files movie and I’d rather watch the last season of LOST again than watch this piece of crap again. You said you liked psychological stuff but this movie was a true abortion of X-Files values.
BTW, talking about sexy horror with class…I really really like the classic Cat People but go ga-ga banana over the 1982 remake with Nastassja Kinski…I liked it so much at the time I bought the movie on half-inch Betamax…talk about backing loosers.
Masters of Horror is on DVD, you can get it from Netflix. They might have it online, that’s how I watched everything else. Remember, I never said any of this had “class.” I was just comparing it favorably to Lost, is all. I think “Cigarette Burns” and “Spooked” are my favorites so far.
There’s only two X-Files movies, you probably meant the second one which was terrible. (Rant follows.) It’s like Chris Carter didn’t watch or understand the finale of his own show. Instead of being on the run from aliens and the law, Mulder is “hiding” in his girlfriend’s house … he was living under a death penalty passed down by a military tribunal after he “killed” a Marine officer, but if he does one favor for the Bureau “the FBI will drop the charges.” What? What charges? The FBI didn’t charge him with anything, and after the verdict comes in the charges can’t really be dropped, the sentence has to be reversed. Why is Skinner still in the FBI, when the finale indicated he was about to be murdered and replaced by a replicant? Why that lame W portrait gag, when Mulder and Scully worked under W for more than a year? What happened to Doggett and Reyes and all the other characters we care about? Who cares about Scully’s medical career, how did she even become a surgeon after not practicing for at least ten years and probably never even doing her internship? Was it all those autopsies? I guess those are kind of the same thing. Why did no one at her very Catholic hospital bring up the point that the stem cells probably came from an aborted fetus? You think a movie about some guy killing people to do illegal full-body transplants and Catholics up the wazoo would at least mention that fact. Wouldn’t it have been cool if the sick kid was William? What happened to Mulder’s ability to see and talk to ghosts? The remix of the theme song was pretty cool, though.
I’ve seen the Cat People remake, but I should probably watch it again. And it’s not technically horror, but Silence of the Lambs is my favorite movie-which-people-think-is-scary.
I liked HITCHER with Rutger Houer and The Cleaner. I don’t know if they actually fit into the horror catagory or not but they were pretty good movies. They also seemed kind of low budget, but you know how that goes…..
OK, YOU ALL EVERYBODY!!! Hmmm. For some reason that has just LO$T its flair. It’s time once again boys and girls whether you like it or not for my weekly comment. That I am sure nobody really gives a shit about. I guess it should be more like my weak rant. Either way, who cares? It gives me something to do for a few minutes each week. So as you can tell I have one hell of an exciting fucking life let me tell you what!!! I keep on seeing these previews for Hawaii five-o. I remember watching this shit years ago. I was still a little fucking snot nose brat even, that’s how long ago it was. As much as I can remember about it, I don’t remember it being all that great of a show. As a matter of fact it was one of the reasons why I have never liked cop shows. I mean that is just my personal opinion of course. What can I say I was young and it was boring shit. Kind of like why I don’t like doctor and hospital shows either. Emergency and Dr. Welby sucked big time too. So with this new five-o shit, it only takes me back to a rant of mine way the hell and gone up thread about no fucking originality any more. I mean what the hell!!! Steve Faggarit and them got left in the way back and thats where they should stay. “Sherman set the way back machine.” “Sure Mr. Peabody!!!” I mean if you want to bring it back. Why not bring back the original series and show it again? Again lets just throw creativity out the fucking window because we just aint smart enough to come up with something new and fresh. I don’t get it. I thought thats what them dipshits did for all them years of going to school, and getting their degrees. Hell anymore I guess you can just buy them degrees online if you got enough money. So I guess that counts me out because thats something I can’t seem to get my hands on. I wasn’t lucky enough to be born into the right family for some reason. Poor breading stock and just plain not raised right!!! Oh well, a fellers got to get over it or die trying. So there ya go. Another week gone, another bitch bitched…..
A true and noble rant it is, Sir!
Can you tell me one good story that hasn’t yet been told so good that a remake would be outa the question?
Is this a trick question or what? If not, i’m not to sure how to answer it. If it is a trick question, then my answer would be that if it hasn’t been told yet, I wouldn’t know the story…..
Saturday the Seventh of August in 2010
Kate is the kind of Mother whom would sell her entire famile for five cents and wait to buy them back for two cents American…
Jon; was the only intellegent one to leave this harpie see ya next tuesday bitch skank…

THANKS HAVE A GREAT WEEK-END
tckiddos
Susan
er….OK.
What do you do in the healthcare field if I may be so bold to ask?
Holy jumping wow!!! I aint quite sure what that was all about but what a great post. I think it made less sense than most of my rants and that’s not an easy thing to do. So all I can say is, we need more!!! Well I can’t speak for anybody else but I would like more anyways…..
Has anyone here seen Inception? I would love to see your comments on it.
As for me, I enjoyed the movie the first time around, more so the special effects than the story- the plot was hard to follow the first time around.
But on repeat viewing and reading some good spoiler-reviews and I find it to be a really enjoyable sci-fi movie. And I’ve learned how many years Christopher Nolan waited to make this movie, how much research he did, and how meticulously and intelligently he plotted the story, the filming, the screenplay and the special-effects – all with the intent of making a great movie where there are no loose ends (he may not have succeeded 100% but he sure put in a tremendous amount of honest effort towards it).
Which made me think – Darlton are the exact fucking opposite of Nolan. And that’s what was most maddening about L O S T – no planning, no homework, no attention to detail and no sincerity at all.
This is what the mighty writer of lost does in twitterspace after lost. He picks fights with little kids. So sad Damon…
@DamonLindelof Likewise and sorry if I hurt your feelings. I just want a fraction of your lifestyle.
@DamonLindelof But you are releasing material & at same time telling ppl it’s not canon. Once it’s out there, that’s not for you to decide.
Unless of course there’s money to be made from the DVDs. RT @DamonLindelof Once you hand in your test, it’s pencils down.
———————————————————————————————–
@ditzkoff You can have 37/82 of my lifestyle. And that is my favorite fraction.
@ditzkoff Fair enough. People can decide whether it’s canon for themselves. But don’t make it about money, man. That insults me.
@ditzkoff BILLIONS. Which is why instead of carrying the series into a seventh season, we went with a 10 minute short instead. Smart, huh?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You just had to do it didn’t ya? DIDN’T YA?!?!?!?!?!
Who?
Moi? ☺
Anyone watch the full 12min of “New Man in Charge”? I should mention that production value of the whole thing looks extremely cheapo.
- two guys (skinny and fat) packing food pallets at warehouse in Guam. When are those canned peas going to be ready we don’t want to miss the launch window. Relax. But then on cue, the teletype machine spits out new coordinates to punctuate the dialogue.
- Benry shows up, calmy fires them and gives each of them an envelope stuffed with $100 bills. Your services are no longer required anymore gnetlemen. Go do whatever want now with the money.
- they’re a bit upset. they “demand answers”.
- Benry says okay, but you only get 1 question each so make it good.
- question #1 from fat guy – the food pallets get dropped by drones at different coordinates. Benry says its an island that moves around. An island that can move? Stunted disbelief from fat guy.
- question #2 – explain these Dharma polar bear biscuit boxes. Benry fishes through his binder of DVD’s and asks if they have a DVD player.
- Benry puts on the Hydra Island orientation DVD. Please excuse the quality it’s a DVD copy made from a bad betamax video says Benry.
- they watch the video and Benry helps himself to a Dharma granola bar and pockets one bar as well.
- Marvin Candle appears and asks that the viewers don’t reveal his name otherwise he’ll have to create other alias names.
- Candle shows the hydra lab in action. Animal and animal hybrids created to investigate the biological properties in relation to electromagnetism. Polar Bears have good tolerance to low temperature and have good memory. Polar bears are not your friends. The video shows a guy with one missing arm/hand padlocking the polarbear cage. The video shows two Dharma guys figuring out how to get a fish biscuit out of the polar bear cage. After the animals have been prepared at Hydra, they are shipped off for further processing. Marvin shows a big collar with a tracking device that is to be affixed around the polar bear’s neck. By no means ship a pregnant polar bear because the island’s intense electromagnetism causes early term issues with the mother and fetus. In the background behind a covered cage, a bird makes the Hurley bird sound a few times. Marvin refers to it as a hybrid or hybird as them call it.
- the most dangerous animal on the island is humans says Marvin. He goes to Room23 and explains that there are hostiles on the island and that Room23 is where they interogate them. The Room23 video plus some cutting edge pharmaceuticals injected in the back of the neck are used to create an amnesia that erases the hostile’s memory of the interogation which preserves the “truce” that Dharma has with the hostiles.
- the video ends
- the two warehouse guys say they need to see the video again. Nope that’s it and Benry leaves.
Next scene:
- Benry arrives at night at Santa Rosa and goes to the desk with a note. The nurse lets him in to see older Waaaaaaaalt. Walt is playing the connect 6×7 game that len sims played with.
- are you here to abduct me askes Walt? Benry says No. I apologize for what was done in the past but I can’t change what happened.
- come with me for a new job. What job asks older Waaaaalt? Benry gives Walt the pocketed Dharma granola bar with a knowing look.
- they leave and walk across the lawn to the Dharma van. The van is leaning a bit to one side. They get in.
- Hurley is in the back of van. Dude, it’s great to see you Waaaaalt. Hello Hurley, I always thought someone would come back for me. The island needs you. Why? I want to talk to you about a job.
- Benry starts and backs up the van.
- The three smile at each other. The van pulls away. “Alright Ben. Let’s et out of here. It’s time for us to all go home.” says Hurley.
WHAT?!?!?! That’s it eh? For some reason I am really not surprised. Thats funny that it all boils down to a lame ass Dharma tape and Walt taking over as the all mighty protector of the glowing glory hole of butt plug-gedness. It obviously stays true to Darlton fashion about explaining absolutely nothing what so fucking ever. Sounds like there was no boom moment either. I wonder if there was even a……….BOOM……….LO$T……….?????
Yes… sadly that’s it. That’s their little hook to try to trick people into buying the final season dvd’s later this month.
They’ve also packed it with all the lost university stuff too but as we know it was all purgatory so all the lost university stuff is basically a needless lapdance from Darlton.
Pretty sad. Benry, Waaaaalt and Hurley form a new love triangle and drive off into the night. “You were a good #2 but Waaaalt was all #1.”
All we need now is one more 12min epilogue dealing with Rose, Benard and Vincent. Perhaps one more epilogue to close out the Sawyer, Kate, Miles and Frank love quadrangle? They all live in a bungalow and Sawyer every now and then trips them with a gardenhose for old times sake. He slowly goes senile and begins calling everyone “Freckles”.

Also what time period did pedo bear Ben get Waaaaaaaalt from, because shouldn’t it have been like… THE FUCKING FUTURE for chrissakes????
Also my comic is still for sale – The Smell Of Lime – at IndyPlanet.
Thank you, and good night.
My posts aren’t showing up, but then when I try again it says duplicate detected … have we overloaded the software? Maybe it’s time to start a new thread for post-Lost products. Or maybe I just got banned for tricking someone into watching “Imprint.” (Seriously, don’t watch it.)
(trying again)
That doesn’t effing explain anything.
Why were the food drops still going on?
Because.
Because why?
Because there were still Dharma employees doing it. And they knew where the island was all along.
Didn’t it take millions of dollars and electromagnetic sensors all over the world and decades of research to find the island?
Yes.
And wasn’t Dharma’s island-locating station taken over by a woman from the group that killed all the hostiles?
Yes.
I hate you.
Why were there polar bears on the island?
To see what would happen to them.
Why were there pregnancy problems on the island?
Because of the island.
But it only affected humans and, apparently, polar bears.
So?
What about the thousands of other species on the island?
They were all special.
And what about all the people having babies in the past, like the Dharma mothers?
They were special, too.
I really, really hate you.
Why did the Others want Walt?
Because he was special.
But then they let him go…?
He wasn’t that special.
And then Ben took him back?
He was pretty special.
Why would Walt go with an evil tyrant who offered him a granola bar?
It’s a really good granola bar, and Walt is special.
Dharma interrogated the Others in Room 23?
Yes.
Didn’t the interrogate them out in the woods?
No, in Room 23.
They interrogated Sayid out in the woods when they thought he was an Other.
That was in Room 23.
No it wasn’t.
GOD LOVES LOST AS HE LOVES JACOB. BUY LOST DVDS.
killed all the hostiles = killed all the Dharma personnel
Every writer needs an editor. Otherwise they start letting typos get through, like “killed all the hostiles” or “the entire sixth season of Lost.”
Why were the food drops still going on?
Why were the food drops still going on?
Because HURLEY HAS THE APPETITE OF KING KONG, Mighty Joe Young, and GARGANTUA combined!
How could you have missed that?
Great post!!! I really liked the end with the GOD thing…..
Oh boy, I did of course know there were only X-File movies but I was so pissed off that I wrote 3rd by mistake and I feel like a complete asshole.
Therefore I will buy the “Masters of Horror” DVD series and force myself to watch “Imprint” simply because of the rave reviews here.
Yes, yes…I was warned…
But saying that the Cat People remake ‘is not horror’ (horror with the small ‘h’) is like saying that the final epi of LOST WASN’T HORRIBLE.
Is there a referenced definition of ‘horror’ that is universally accepted by everyone?
Do tell…I’ll be waiting for it at the Dharma drop (salivating sounds aslurping).
p.s. …and thanks for the tips! ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Dude, I warned you about Imprint. It’s not an unsettling psychological portrait or even a grisly action movie, it’s mostly just a girl getting tortured and Billy Drago being Billy Drago. The end is a pretty stupid non sequitur, but since the writer and director are Japanese I’ll give that a pass because their cultural baggage has never translated very well for me. But if you like that kind of thing, go for it.
I saw some guy’s definition of horror, probably Clive Barker’s, that said horror is when you realize the rules don’t apply. It’s when you realize Freddy can get you in the waking world, or your loving husband’s novel will never be published and now he wants to put an axe through you, or the guy in the mask isn’t killed by bullets. The usual action movie or psychological thriller puts the protagonist in a bad situation, but the rules still apply, and the protagonist can figure out a solution using reason. In horror, the rules don’t apply, and reason is useless … that’s why they’re so scary, because without reason we’re just gangly animals. We’re prey.
If you like transgressive stuff, you might want to try Lars von Triers’s Antichrist. It’s not the kind of movie I can recommend, not the kind of movie you’d watch curled up on the couch with a loved one, but I’m glad I saw it. Read some reviews and see if its your flavor of despair and mutilation.
Holy shit, I am gonna run that by my therapist…..
You should watch Antichrist with your therapist. I’m sure he or she would have a lot to say about the wisdom of taking an unstable woman out into the woods and trying to treat her without drugs, strait jackets, or tazers.
Query:
Does that increase or decrease your chances of getting laid?
You might get a handjob. There was a handjob in the movie, anyway.
It’s all good brotha…..
lost sucked so hard that i will never watch it again, so dumb and stupied the end, Lockie stupied death by Kates bullet, Charles Widmore death inside the closet, so stupied that i want to vomit over that idiots that keeping saying it was adorable, so idiots that were brainwached, BTW this web site is really something, here we can all curse together that stupied writers and liers, and their money make schema.
Told only for truth…..
Gos bless you my son.
God bless you my son.
The cowardly writers of Lost are still hiding from the fans.
They knew they screwed the finale! LOL
It would have been nice if all they screwed was the finale. Oh no, them ass lickers weren’t happy until they screwed the whole show…..
The ending of Lost smells like ass… and not in a good way!
$hit stinks and so does LOST!!!
Now ERASERHEAD made much more sense overall…a classic.
I liked Edward Scissorhands myself and it made a shitload more sense…..
THAT was such a GAY MOVIE!
I sure can’t say that it wasn’t, but it did make more sense. I was drawing a blank for movies and that was the first one that popped into my head. WOW!!! I am for sure lacking in the life department. I haven’t been to a movie theater to watch a movie in over 25 years…..
☺☠☺
I gots to get this off my chest. I tanked in the playoffs against Boston because my pussy itched like a mofo. OK, you heard it here first.
Please explain to me WTF that last season was all about. It was more confusing than watching Lebron lose against Boston…
I”M TAKING NOTE OF EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT MY PUSSY!
PS AND MY MOM’S PUSSY TOO!
Oh, and LOST sucks… (I almost forgot).
I had some of the Lebron-mom pussy. It was stanky.
I also did not enjoy the ending of Lost.
I am also guilty of engaging that very same stank. It was different from the usual Lithuanian puss I am accustomed to. It kind of smelled like my Nikes after a game.
Has anyone here seen the show Lost?
Sounds nasty to me…..
Lebron-mom pussy?
Why would anyone want THAT?
Watching “The New HMFIC” now. So Eloise was sending the food all along. All right, figured that out years ago. Why? To feed Desmond, I guess. She read Daniel’s notebook and knew that Desmond lived in the Swan, and being a fatalistic old biddy decided she had to send him pallets of TV dinners so he would go on to do all the things he inevitably would do. Got it. No idea why the Dharma Initiative proper at Ann Arbor let her do it, nor are Darlton interested in explaining. They forgot about the mainland component of Dharma and their backers at the Hanso Foundation some time in Season 5, I guess we were supposed to, too. Maybe it was explained in one of those little web games?
Ben says his DVD was transferred from an old Betamax, but they used the film filter, not the analog video filter. Good going, guys. So that’s the Hurleybird. I never noticed it in the show, even when they lampshaded it. This film supposedly predates the Incident, which means the Incident did not cause the pregnancy problems. It’s the Orchid’s EM levels that cause gestation problems. Buuuuuut for some reason blowing up a nuke, or maybe not blowing up a nuke, I was never clear on that, in the Swan evidently made the problems island-wide, but only for humans. Got it.
So the MKULTRA movie that was very obviously intended to brainwash people into being good Others was, in fact, some kind of interrogation tool used AGAINST the Others by Dharma. Even though Dharma already had a perfect truth serum, as we saw in “He’s Our You.” How are you supposed to interrogate someone with 110 decibels of dance music blasting your ear drums out? Maybe it’s just supposed to wipe their memories AFTER the interrogation? Chang says the interrogations are necessary to make sure the truce is not being violated; clever play on Cold War “treaty verification” there. Doing bad things to make sure your enemy isn’t doing the bad things he agreed not to do. Credit where it’s due. Demerit where it’s due: why wasn’t this on the show?
So the entire point of the Polar Bears was to train them to get fish biscuits then teleport them into ancient Tunisia? Where, presumably, they would perform in Hannibal’s royal court for fish biscuits?
Warehouse Guy is an idiot. “What the hell’s a hostile/hostel?” Of all the questions to ask…. Maybe that was commentary on the show’s more slack-jawed fans. I think this entire video was made for them.
Why is Walt in the nut house? He wasn’t crazy before, was he? Couldn’t get another location, I guess. “Hello Walt,” he says, with the smile of a pedophile looking at his grown-up catamite. “Remember me? My name’s Ben. I kidnapped you, tried to blow up your father, performed torturous experiments on you, pressured your father into murdering two women for which you never forgave him, then pretty much blew him up when he was trying to atone for that. Would you like to come away with me? I have granola bars!”
So Hurley was in charge of the island for three years, then he blew it off and recruited Walt. I guess that’s easier than whittling down your candidates through a complex system of numerology and actor unavailability, but it seems kind of unfair to the kid.
Waitaminute, no way was the techno breakdance room an amnesia factory, Karl was locked up in there for like a whole day and he was okay. Sawyer got hypnotized by the screen, without any drugs, so the juju is in the imagery, not the drugs. I don’t think the writers actually watched their show.
Trance music always makes me spill my guts. It made me give it up about doin Lebron’s mom.
I don’t think they understand coercive interrogation. The loud music and stimulation is used for sleep deprivation, which makes it harder to lie because sleep deprivation makes you stupid. It also makes you dependent on the captor; if you cooperate, you get a few hours of sleep, so you are trained to cooperate and actually regress into a state of childlike dependence, with the interrogator as the authority figure instead of an enemy. It has nothing to do with the actual extraction of information, which is performed in a controlled setting, or wiping memories, which requires nothing more exotic than the GHB you can get on any college campus. (You may recall that Claire got a pretty hefty dose of the date rape drug when the Others abducted her.)
Even if we buy the interrogation function of the Room, the process doesn’t make any sense. They abduct members of an armed, murderous sect with whom they have a fragile truce, spirit them away to another island, spend hours or days interrogating them, drug them, then return them all doped up with no memory of where they’ve been for the past few days … is this supposed to be sneaky? Or was the DI like North Korea, everyone lets them kidnap a few people here and there because it’s easier than fighting another war?
Room 23 worked a lot better when it was just a brainwashing machine that Ben used on his daughter’s deflowerer.
My question is, don’t you think the others would miss the comrad who has been missing? I would think that after three or four of them woke up in the jungle not remembering anything you surely would figure it out. Well OK we are talking about Darltons story here so anything is possible. Time travel my ass…..
Exactly! In “LaFleur” a couple Others went missing for an afternoon, and Richard invaded Dharmaville and practically declared war on them right there. I can’t imagine what he’d do if a couple Others woke up in the jungle, dehydrated, gnawed on by wild animals, and no memory of how they got there. The Others were a violent cult, full of NRA Lifetime Members and Ninjas. They would’ve defended themselves.
Oh, let me guess. JACOB told them not to.
Could have been used to deprogram via negative feedback homosexual thoughts and feelings…
You may be on to something with that, if Alex was indeed deflowered by her boyfriend on the island. I personally think Ben did the dirty deed and that’s why he had no objection to Bugs Keamy putting a bullet in her head so she could never tell anyone about the real truth…..
Yeah, you’re prolly right Smokie.
Personally, I think that old Smokie did it hisself – snatched away that last bastion of virtue with hissown black tornado pillar-o-fun swirling throbbing through her virginal nethers where no hu-man boldly ventured to trespass on this, this slobbering “Island of Enchantment!”
Besides, I here and now declare that I know why that Smoke Monster was so pissed off at everything and wanted to desperately leave the isle:
HE WAS HORNY! AND A VIRGIN!
HE NEVER GOT LAID IN BEFORE TURNING INTO MR. SMOKIE
Who else could he screw when he was a boy then man? Crazy Mom from the West Wing? His brother perhaps in a fit of brazen sexual domination to be the alpha male?
Hah! Perhaps the gay dynamic duo of Darleton SHOULD have written THAT into the script…perhaps they already did and we won’t find out cause we weren’t in the Church and the others were ‘tardy to the party.’
Holy Moley son of a cow patty!!! I hadn’t even went in that direction yet. That black tornado pillar-o-fun thing kind of freaks me out, but I bet little ole Alex never had a better time in this life or the purgatory life neither. Now I understand why young Lou was so angry too. With Jacob getting it from the wicked stepmother and poor little Lou getting none. I guess if I were in his shoeless self I would be angry too. Hey I think I have finally seen the butt plugged glowing glory hole of light…..
Now wait just a goddamned cotton pickin minute here. Just how in the hell was the old white haired wicked witch doing the food drops when the bitch was in purgatory worring about her little ball baby son of a bitch. Oh yeah I remember now, you can be in both places at once in their stupid fucking fairy tale…..
So according to the Dues Ex Pede, Waaaaaallllllllllllllllt is in the looney bin. Isn’t this a little strange? We knew he was kinda special, but not that special for sure. I wonder what it was that put him over the edge? I am sure if you asked the Darlton they would come up with something so fucking stupid you wouldn’t be able to stop rolling your eyes for a week. Maybe longer!!! Hell they might even put you in a straight jacket and throw your ass in with Walt. Also,the Hurley bird is under a cover, in a cage and squalks a couple of times and that explains it because Chang says it’s a hybred or hybird. What the fuck does that mean??? Hybred what? Has old Chang been up in the tent with Oldham or whatever the hell his name was? So you never actually get to see the bird again either, I take it? Then if I got this straight, jacket for sure, big bad convicted of a crazy crime but really didn’t do it, Walt, becomes protector of the butt plugged glowing glory hole (try to say that 3 times fast eh) for a stinking lousy granola bar? What the hell is that shit all about? No creek, Polar Bear pissed in water with some stupid chant told over it? Why are Hurley and Ben so much in a hurry to get to pugatory? Did crazy assed Walt kill them after they got him to the island? Ben I guess wants to get there for some momma Alex ass! Hell lets go all the way and make it a mother, daughter threesome. After all it is pugatory ya know!!! I guess Hugo was in a hurry so he could finally get laid by Libby’s crazy ass. Well hell I guess if everybodys getting laid, all is well. Hmmm I guess poor old Walt is by himself though, oh well tough lucks gotcha. Shouldn’t have took the stupid job in the first place, dumbass…..
I might be wrong about Waaaahaalt taking over the island in 2010. Hurley just said he had a job for him, not that it was the head job. He might have needed someone … I don’t know, he’s too old to make a pedophile joke and all the tasteless gay jokes were already made when we found out Hurley and Ben were stranded on the island together. Can I make a slave joke? Or is that taboo? I’m going for it.
Hurley and Ben transported Walt back to the island to be their slave. They shut down the food drops for no apparent reason, which means they have to grow their own food. There’s a lot of physical labor involved in growing food for Hurley–a lot–and only black men have the natural muscle mass and complexion for working long hours in the sun. Walt is the only black person left alive on Lost, so by default the job falls to him.
I have known of very few things to be taboo on this site. It’s the greatest thing about it. As for your take on the worst fairy tale in history. Hmmm, I can’t see why that won’t work. Yeah, in fact I like it…..
Now that’s an excellent example of logical character development. If those moron writers could have put something together like that, we would be perfectly happy with the story, and there would be no need for this site…
Yep, Ben became Walt’s slave driver while Hugo, ever the Massa, had a hankering for some baby back ribs.
As next we see them, the Ben we all know talks in slavish to Walt saying ” Go Catch thet wild boar Walt…You da fast runner…nah, them tusks anint gonna hurt ya ‘tall!”
And then the chase is on and we hear the jungle foliage snap, crackle and pop with a snarling gnashing of teeth, and up pops the terrified face of Walt with dem banjo eyes covered in de blood n’all.
Switch camera pov to jungle…the “Whispers” return…quietly at first, then volume increases as camera pans in…until we clearly hear what they are saying…
They are laughing their asses off uncontrollably and hysterically giggling.
Cut to Alternate LOST logo ending title page first black then white.
And if you MUST just simply have to have the camera focus on a dying eye looking up have it be a big, round BROWN ugga-bugga eye WHILE
In the alternate world a AJIRA plane lands somewhat haphazardly…camera focuses on the plane exit…we hear a ruckus inside, then the door opens and the airline stewardess emergency exit slide pops open and a flaming gay pissed-off Asian man throws two beers down and follows the down-slide with two middle fingers proudly afingered to the camera.
Roll the LOST credits as above.
Thank you very much.
I never followed the fan theories while I watched the show, but I found this one and thought it was cute:
Henry Gale was actually Walt from the future, who had become rich, changed his name, and tried to fly back to the island in a smiley face balloon.
Because, you know, there are only like three or four black people in the entire universe so the old dead black man MUST be Walt from the future, right? Never mind that he was carrying ID from 2004….
Swinging by to see if the fire was still burning.
I mentioned it before, but it’s been awhile. My take on explaining LOST in one single word. A word created by one of the best film directors to have ever walked the earth!
ozarkghost.weebly.com/television-series-lost-explained.html
That is nothing but the pure unadulterated truth about this whole show. I seriously doubt that anyone, anywhere, any time, could sum up the whole of this stupid fairy tale any more accurately, any more precise, than this single word statement offers. Well maybe sucked. I like your word better though. It has more charisma, more finesse, more meaning, and is also very clever. Also, just exactly what is it that you are swinging from? If you don’t mind me asking that is…..BOOM…..John Locke…..swinging from a noose…..
Yeah, don’t go overboard with the MacGuffin angle.
Hitchcock used a few of them in his movies but did it in a way that the loose ends didn’t ruin anything. One’s imagination could fill in the blanks sufficiently.
With Lost, the whole thing has to be filled in now that they drove it off a cliff. Even the end doesn’t have an end.
I like to think I have a good imagination but my best theory is that even the butt plug thing was a ruse, and they were guarding the Sacred Cow Pile. And this is what could not be revealed, else the world would come to an end. They had to cut the scene where Jack stepped in it and slid a little bit, cause he said Goddammit.
So if there is one word could describe Lost, my vote would have to be for “sucked”. Sorry.
Leave it to that stupid looking fucking retarded Jackass to fuck shit up. Him and that cunt fucking Kate. Them two fucktards deserved each other for sure. I swear between the two of them they could fuck up anything and everything, anywhere. So lets take it back to the church in the purgastory and go from where the fairy tale fairy fuckers (Darlton) left off. We open to the now vacated inside of the chruch. We see the empty pews and pulpit. The big double doors are closed and the church is completely lifeless. All of the sudden the front doors open and a few people file in and sit at the pews. It is Ben and with him is Alex and her mother. Pretty soon the front doors open again and we see the white hair of a very stern faced woman. We know her as Eloise Hawking and she slowly makes her way into the church. Next comes Richard and Frank Lapilot. In regular life they become lovers and both died a horrible death by AIDS. Some Others file in, along with some Other, Others and some Other, Other, Other, Others. The Samari dude with his butt buddy John Lennon and George Harrison too. Might as well eh? We see Charles Widmore standing at the pulpit. So guess who we are waiting for? Guess goddammit!!! OK, OK. it’s cry baby Danny boy Fairygay. Who couldn’t see that one coming eh? Who goddammit?!?!?! Ooops got a little carried away there. Hey it happens sometimes. So we hear Charles giving Danny boy the same speech that the Jackass got from his daddy issue. You know the one. Blah blah blah yackity schmakity and so on and so forth. Charles then proceeds to open the big double doors with the bright light behind it. As he is doing so we notice that there is something drastically wrong. Holy shit, There aint no light!!! No heaven, no nothing!!! Just a completely black abyss of nothingness!!! Everybody in the church shudders. Oh my god, what has happened to the bright light? To heaven? Well I give you a big clue early in this post. Yep you guessed it. It was them stupid fuck ups Jackass and Kate. See I told you them dumb fuckers could fuck up anything, anywhere. Next time you will believe me, wontcha? WONTCHA?!?!?! Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself…..
“Purgastory.”
I see what you did there, and I like it.
Visited the Fus a few days ago, they’re still arguing that the whole thing was Jack’s dying dream–excuse me, HALLUCINATION, because the brain waves of a dying person are different than the brain waves of a sleeping person. But I’m sticking with purgastory. I died, and I have not yet earned heaven, so God is punishing me with shitty serial pop sci-fi fantasy new age melodramas. Some day Desmond Hume will hit me with a car and I will realize that I am dead, gather up my dead friends, and go to heaven with them. Or at least with my dead dog. I don’t really like my friends, but I loved my dog.
Thats some pretty funny shit there. Since the finale I still haven’t been able to go over there for some reason. I guess I am afraid that they will gang up on me amd the outcome will not be a very pretty site to see…..
It’s pretty much abandoned now. LOST doesn’t have the staying power of Star Trek, Doctor Who, stuff like that that’s still popular decades later. LOST was just a fad, and now that it can be explained in one sentence, no one new will ever watch it.
Do you Smokie swear like that in front of your wife?
Just curious…not condemning you.
HA!!! You think I am bad eh? My ole lady is the master of foul mouthedry cussing, dirty words and everything in between!!! She could even make a sailor blush. I would know because I was in the Navy a long time ago. She has been a very good mentor for me. Thanks for asking…..
Thanks for understanding…I could never get away with doing that at my home with the not-so-little Lady.
What’s worse, she’s into all this “New Age’ crap – especially health quackish remedies – and she’s a licensed massage therapist to boot.
And don’t bother to ask: I don’t get ANY “Happy Endings” at all, and haven’t even gotten laid this century. Yes, you heard that right.
Too much information, you say?
That’s not the half of it.
So Smokie, take comfort that you are not the highest-rated poor fucker out there…
Oh yes, did I mentioned that I am disabled and cannot work also?
And we all here think the last season of LOST was a big disappointment!
HAH I say!!!!!
I am very fortunate that I have the ole lady that I do. She is a lot of fun to be around. Since I haven’t worked in over a year and a half that’s very important because believe it or not I aint the easiest asshole to be around. Especially when I have my little episodes when I can’t get out of bed for three or four days. Sometimes I can be a real dick!!! She just shrugs it off and moves on. One time a friend came over and we was outside talking when she came out and just jumped in the conversation without really knowing what we were even talking about. So I told her that she needed to shut the fuck up and go back in the house because she had no idea what we were even talking about. So she tore her ass back in the house and I looked at my friend and he was looking at me in utter shock. I said what and he says that his old lady would probably leave him if he talked to her like that. I said well if she don’t like it she ought not let the door hit her in the ass on the way out the damn thing. I went on to say that there aint nobody here against their will and they all can come and go as they please. He couldn’t believe it. For some reason she still hangs out and I am still an asshole. She says no matter what I am her asshole. Hmmm, I’m not quite sure if thats a cut down or not. Oh well I guess I will get over it or die trying. I been meaning to ask you just what your story was but hadn’t got around to it. After reading your last post though I aint sure whether to be scared or just kind feel sorry for ya…..
SMOKIE,
I think you and I just might be kindred assholes together…
The true measure of a man is learning his abilities AND disabilities and dealing with them to maximize life.
Your woman loves you very much.
How do I know that? Cause she said this:
“She says no matter what I am her asshole…”
As for me,
My local government (county hospital) job was deleted back in 2003. After looking for another for some months I collapsed one day and became 100% disabled: unable to work with congestive heart failure, heart valve problems, degenerative spinal arthritis, and peripheral neuropathy (I can’t feel both feet from mid-arch to the toes).
Apparently I was working sick for the 10 years I had that last job and it all caught up with me rapidly. I could not pass a new employment physical exam.
I am a poor fucker in that regard as I wish I could work but cannot sit or stand for more than 15 minutes. Cannot catch my breath and sweat like a pig after mild normal daily activities.
I consider myself a difficult person too but don’t have your kind of woman around. You do love and appreciate her more than you let on here and I smile when I read your comments cause I do know what a treasure she is in your life.
Anyway Smokie, and to others here if they read this and disapprove at the personal disclosure, I apologize if there was too much information here and you all don’t give a fuck about me but you did ask.
We are a community here, right? Of lepers perhaps but we do tell the truth to one another.
Thanks for listening guys.
~Potty
Dayum what a bitch, but I finally made it back. Between my old worn out computer and trying to get my son into collage, this weeks been a bitch. My piece of shit computer got a goddamn virus from hell and wouldn’t let me get on the internet. Took the old lady a little better than two days to get it to where I could at least get back on, but it’s still fucked up. She’s a fucking wizz with this shit so I will be back at full strength before ya know it. As for the kid, well, he is at least there so the rest is up to him. I can’t hold his hand on this one. Even if I could it would just get him kicked out that much sooner. So it’s just as well. Goddamn it Potty, I thought I was pretty fucked up, but man a live that’s some fucked up shit there dude!!! I guess the best advice Dr. Smokie here can give ya is, keep a stiff upper lip dude!!! I aint gonna tell ya that things could be worse because not only is that old cliche just plain worn out, but sometimes ya think that way even if you do know better. Anyways I guess that the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. Err, well, thats what Kenny Rodgers says anyways. I really don’t know. Well anyways thanks for the backstory there and hang in there dude. Well not like John Locke did. You know what I’m sayin. I guess my new stolen saying is gonna be. Wait fot it now. Here it comes!!! Tomorrow is just your future yesterday…..
Thanx for the shoutback Smokie…I have a kid who is a senior and next year I most likely will have to go through the same shit as you getting your kid into college.
If you really think my life is pathetic consider this:
I love TV and appreciate good – really good – programs. Gives me something to live for.
Well, I was THE #1 fan of LOST since it began those few years ago and knowing that each new episode was loaded with a veritable cornucopia of golden nuggets of wisdom, bold action, melodramatic pathos, and science mixed with the paranormal, well…it just gave me a reason to go on living, Smokie.
Now THAT all got shot to hell in the last season with THE END finale, and it was just like busting a final cap into my skull as a last insulting coup de grâce.
What’s left for me now, Smokie?
Hey, perhaps I should do what Locke tried to do…
Nah…it’d hurt too much and I’d prolly just fuck it up like the rest of my miserable existence.
What indeed.
Sometimes this living thing can be a real bitch thats for sure!!! Maybe we should start a website. Why Our Miserable Pathetic Lives Suck. Hmmm, sounds awful depressing. I guess we could diss everybody with things like, “well just go hang yourself” or ” you need to get a gun and get it over with already!” HA!!! OK, maybe not. Sounds to sadistic…..
I suppoz you’re right, but what do I have to look forward to on TV this fall?
THE EVENT?
Looks like complete shit so far, and I know it will suck mightily cause it stars Blair Underwood.
Oh, woe iz me, woe iz me…
WOW!!! I guess we are pretty pathetic now that I think about it. I been thinking all I have to look forward to this fall is new episodes of the big bang theory. Sombody find me a rope PLEASE…..
Me too, Smokie…
But with my luck I won’t hang at all and the rope will break each and every time because I’m off the Island which wants me back cause I’m a friggin Candidate!
Arughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Life sucks donkey dicks.
HA HA!!! That would be my luck too. Or else they would cut me down in time to spend the rest of my life in an even more pathetic state then I am in now…..
That Jack and Kate. They sure made a mess of things.
After Jack stepped in it and uttered his explicative, Kate came running. Jack said Whoa, as she turned the corner, hit that Cow Pile. Her feet flew right out from under her and her butt landed right on the pie, squishing it beyond recognition.
Jacob was livid. “I guarded that thing for umpteen years and You! YOU!” They ruined everything. That is when it was decided to go with the butt plug angle instead.
Later at the Church after they went out the doors, Jack told Kate not to forget to turn out the light. She did. After all, only most popular main characters are allow to go to heaven.
Oh man, that was poetry at its finest!!! It was a beautiful thing to read…..
My take on Lost would be something along these lines:
You go to a top restaurant in New York. The joint is top class. You are pampered by the matridees. They sit you down and bath you in attention. The menu has many fine choices but you go for the New York Steak and Lobster along with a $815 bottle of french wine. The matridee compliments you on your choice and is so impressed that he also goes and gets the head chef to come to your table.
The chef introduces himself as Chef Darlton and sits down with you and goes on to explain how he and his staff will prepare the meal to beyond your wildest expectations. Chef Darlton’s talk goes on for a full 30 minutes painting a visual picture worthy of heaven. He bids his adieu and leaves you in a state of expectant ecstacy – a “gastronomical purgatory” that you feel privileged to be a select member of.
You drink your wine while you wait and then the moment of truth arrives 20 minutes later as the Chef Darlton himself wheels out your meal on a serving cart. The moment of truth has arrived! Your mouth salivates. Your blood pulses in your veins.
Chef Darlton lifts the silver cover from the plate and there on the plate you see a cube of cherry jello and a scoop of ice cream.
You are in shock not sure of your sanity at this point. Reality is not as it seems. You stammer, “What is this? I thought I was going to get a masterpiece. You promised. I deserve answers.”
Chef Darlton blithely replies, “The act of ordering the meal contained the real truth and is more than sufficient to give you the answers you now seek.
Yes it is a masterpiece but that’s NOT IMPORTANT right now. The journey travelled to be able to be here and now at this table is what was really important. What was done in the past, is done. What happened, happened. Let’s MOVE ON to the finale course. I put my heart, soul and purest talent into that dessert. Enjoy! ”
You fire back, “Jello and vanilla ice cream from someone who calls himself a master chef? At least the wine was worth the $815 but unfortunately for you paying for it is not important to me right now.”
You leave in a semi-drunken state of disgust.
BOOM LOST
Epilogue:
You’re still hungry. You say fuck it and buy a hot dog with extra onions, chilis and sourkraut from a street vendor. It doesn’t sit well with all that wine. The earth shakes as your gut rumbles. You stagger back to Chef Darlton’s joint and make a well timed puke all over the crowd lined up outside his place.”
WOW!!! Not only was that funnier than hell, you hit the Lou Cipher right on the head with a rock and sent him right into the old butt plugged glowing glory hole of light!!! A truer reasonable facsimile I know of not!!! Great job. That is by far the reason I love this website best. You guys have better imaginations than any of these high dollar fucktards we see on the boob tube…..
As disgusting as these scenarios are, I’d rather watch something like that, than the rip off which we were served.
I wonder if you could get Chef Ramsey into the story somehow.
No way. Can’t happen. Out of the question!!! Gordon Ramsey would kick them two faggots asses for doing such shitty work. That is after calling them stupid donkeys many times and other obscenities…..
I was whooped up thinking about cooking shows and thought about adding in Chef Ramsay but since he’s never served a bad meal the logical choice was Chef Darlton.
I like my ending: “You leave in a semi-drunken state of disgust.” It fits in neatly with all the drinking that Jack and his father were doing? Besides, they all wore stupid smiles in that church. Either they’re Mormon but more likely that’s just plain drunk in my books.
If Darlton had any sense they would have ended the show in a bar. Put that black cocktail dress Kate was wearing to logical use? Again, who wears a black cocktail dress to church? I digress. The show ends in the bar – fade to a hazy (Smokie) black.
The ending in the bar would definately be more fitting. You knew I would think that the fade out would be perfect…..
The NBC Lost copy, “Persons Unknown” is an exercise in exaggerated, stereotypical characters and over the top acting, with a story line to kill a horse. It’s a POS through and through. I’m ready for them to stick a huge dildo in a light hole and end it already. F-me… so bored with TV.
I feel your pain dude. Oh hay, good seeing you again brotha…..
Right back at you, Smokie.
Per Jacob, they all died at different times… yes?
WHEN? After they survived falling out of the fucking sky?
ON an island that has a Smoke Monster and a four toed statue?
AFTER just a few of them got off the island in LA?
That shit makes no sense…
WHY WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US?
YOU SMUG ASSHOLES!
That’s per Christian, and yeah, they all died at different times, except for the ones who died simultaneously like Sun and Jin. No real mystery. When you do a people-meeting-in-heaven story, it doesn’t matter when they died. That’s trivial. If you see all your dead friends in heaven, are you going to spend all your time chit chatting about how you died, or enjoy the afterlife?
Personally, I think everyone that got off on the Ajira plane died when it couldn’t find the exit vector and smashed back into the island. Aaron never knew the love of a mother or father and became sexually involved with his grandmother, then killed himself when she died. Ji-Yeon suffered a similar fate, being forced into prostitution in a Paik Industries whorehouse. She died after a long battle with AIDS at the age of 17. Ben eventually realized he was insufferably pitiful, nothing more than a morbidly obese demigod’s sex slave, and killed himself. (I know this is hard to do on the island, just pretend he fiddled with the golden shower buttplug or changed the rules or something quasi-mystical like that.) Hurley starved to death when he no longer had Ben to prepare his food. He gained a few weeks by eating Rose and Bernard, but when they were gone he wasted away. Eloise was struck by her giant pendulum and broke a hip; she couldn’t climb out of the Lamppost Station and died of shock and dehydration.
Jesus, Deus ex Pede,
What you just revealed:
This has just GOT to be real…nobody can make this kind of stuff up!
“Eloise was struck by her giant pendulum and broke a hip; she couldn’t climb out of the Lamppost Station and died of shock and dehydration.”
Of course, she was too smart for that…why, she just pressed her LifeLine medical alert gizmo and help came almost instantly…to the time of the Incident and they got blown to smithereens before the Island sank.
OR, she DID get the window coordinates correct and pressed her LifeLine at the right time and …
…Wound up in a hospital bed next to Zsa Zsa Gabor in the Orthopedics Wing of Santa Monica Hospital Medical Center who was being fitted for a specially designed ‘Useless old Bitch with an annoying accent*’ Hoveround.
Yeah, that’s it.
* not to be confused with later annoying lady bitch accents from Ariana Huffington and Donald Trump’s first ex-wife that Czech ex-model cuntess whose name escapes me at the moment.
HA!!! Now thats some funny shit!!! Way more believable too…..
I always knew Sun was a whore… and now I know where she she got turned out… Paik Industries. Interesting.
I forgot LAZY as well.

If Star Trek the original series were ended like Lost it would have been something like this.
In the last few minutes of the last episode Captiain Jame T. Kirk says, “I… feel… like… I’m somewhere… else!”
The scene changes to a man (William Shatner) in a hospital gown. He has a model of a space ship in his hand and running up and down the hall. An orderly comes out and says, “Mr. Kirk, you can’t run in the hall!”. “But I’m captain of the U.S.S Enterprise!”, Mr. Kirk says. “Time for the space ship to land now”, the orderly says.
The orderly takes Mr. Kirk through some double doors and the show ends.
(slight impact on DVD sales I might add)
Yes, not bad!!! After the credits role and the sad song is over there is a final fade in. It’s a sign and in the background you can see patches of snow on the ground. It is a dismal cloudy winters day in the american northwest. The sign reads WARMSPRINGS STATE MENTAL HOSPITAL Warmsprings, Montana. Fade to black. A DESILU production. I was there in the early ’70s. Not in, just visiting. It was a cold, cloudy, miserable winters day. I was just barely a teenager and the thing I remember the most is it was one scary place…..
Your Star Trek ending would have be a huge hit for the typical Lost fanboi crowd. Cheers and accolades world wide. So Zen, so Now.
But, times have changed. We now have Spock feeding Uhura the One-Eyed Trouser Trout. Imagine that. What’s next, Scottie blowing…
Holy shit!!! It wasn’t that little homo Sulu was it? Everybodys a fucking homo on TV anymore. Funny thing though George Takei (Sulu) invites Bill Shatner (Captain Kirk) to his homo wedding and Shatner refuses. Then to slap him in the face Denny Crane (William Shatner) marries Alan Shore (James Spader) at the end of Boston Legal. It’s a pretty fucked up world we live in these days folks!!! Care for a little kool-aid…..
I sound a little Homophobic eh? Oh well it could be true. Stay away from that kool-aid dammit!!! It aint as it appears, or maybe it is…..
Star Trek would try to be more avant-guard. In the 24th century, inappropriate sex isn’t just between same sexes anymore.
They have had inter-alien sex before, but it is still humanoid. question: why does everyone in the galaxy have the same parts?
Say a human male marries an alien. On their wedding night it is time to consummate. We decide to listen through the wall into his quarters. We hear…
“where do I put it in. which orifice? tell me, would ya?!”
“gaaaaa…! what is that thing? what is that stuff?!”
“stop laying eggs on my face! what do you mean those aren’t eggs!?!”
“Good God, you’re turning inside out! Blaa…(blows chucks).”
Homophobic is Smokie?
NOT!
Since Smokie doesn’t have cable, someone please tell him about Comedy Central’s classic Roast of William Shatner.
More cussin, shit-slingin, and queerisms than one could shake his stick at.
Someone please send that man a copy of that roast, please!
All is well Smokie; you are vindicated!
Thanks dude, you have a friend for life…..
LIKEWISE, Friend Smokie!!!!!!!!
Some actual scenes from JJ’s upcoming Star Trek movie. Big budget sets and CGI!

If the people in the church died at different times, why are they all the same relative ages as they were in the rest of the series?
Continuity error!
Smack down!
Because the purgastory took place in 2004. That was the most important time in their lives so naturally they created a world where they all met at the same point in their lives.
* For all his accomplishments, Jack’s life was miserable. His only real success in life was killing himself. (Honestly, I forgot how he died, but I think he killed himself somehow.) So in death he envisions himself about the same age.
* Kate was an ugly horse-faced tramp. Her only real happiness occurred when she had two desperate men fighting over her on an abandoned island, so she returned to that point in her life.
* Locke, well, we all know Locke’s story and when his brief shining moment of not-entirely-pitiful was.
* Ji-Yeon and Aaron were whored out and died of AIDS and suicide, respectively. Since their lives were so miserable, they reverted to fetuses, which is the last time their absentee mothers actually cared for them.
But what about Rose and Bernard? Why would they come back old?
Why wouldn’t they make themselves back in their 20’s (or at least pre-menopause and pre-viagra) and start humping each other?
Because they met when they were old.
Or it could be they just had all the actors that played the most popular main characters together for a photo shoot.
How about this one? It’s all because it just plain sucked!!! Or am I over stepping my bounds on this? Naw…..
You actually are OK in seeing a video of Rose and Dr. Painless HUMPING????
And what was the purpose of having a black woman pair up with a white man anyway?
Oh, it’s prolly because all black men won’t screw any black woman cause of the ugly factor so the are drawn to the Kardashians…
Right?
NO!!! I am not OK with watching said video and yes I believe you are right on the other part. Then again, you know great minds think alike…..
I just think if people have the choice of what age they are when the are ‘coming back’, it should be a nice healthy age.
I never considered having to watch them do it. But when weigh that against the end we were shown… gee… that’s a tough choice.
On the second part… Lost was a white show with a few gratuitous black characters.
Does anyone here think that Kate swallows or does she spit?
I personally think that back in the day when she was doing them teleflirt comercials that she swallowed. Now though since she thinks she is a prissy star she don’t have to any more so she spits. Just my opinion…..
She swallows around the clock to no end. That whore lives on it, and needs it to subsist. Kate that is, not my mom…
OK…here’s a new Island-Based Shtick to occupy our minds:
So, like if there was marriage with nuptials on the Island (it is a vacation paradise ‘lost’, right?), what would be the best and the worse matches, and explain exactly why.
(boy oh boy, this should be good…)
…or, if that’s too boring and unimaginative, here’s my ALT TIMELINE scenario version:
What other popular set of characters, from movies or television, would be the most interesting substitutes (pardon me for usurping the lame plot device) for the present Losties?
Personally, my vote is for the “Animal House” crew. We have Otter, who is Jackass, then Flounder would be Hurley, Boon is the Sawyer character…and you all can figure out who else would fit their respective characters…’tis easy.
Talk amongst yourselves…oh, and I apologise in advance Deus if you inform me that someone has ‘been there-done that’ all ready.
Namaste.
Little Rascals.
Can we make our own set of replacements?
Replace Jack with Dr. Gregory House. He is a cripple, so he cannot go on A-team missions (I am ignoring the island’s healing factor). Limitations make characters interesting because they force writers to think about how they use them.
Replace Locke with Peter Watts, since I like Terry O’Quinn. His deep appreciation for law and order and apocalyptic cults makes him a target for recruitment by the Others. He’s intellectual and curious, so I can see him figuring out all that Egyptian ruins stuff.
Replace Kate with Jordan Cavanaugh. I like Jill Hennessy, and I can see her doing all the jungle warfare stuff. From what I remember of Crossing Jordan, she did the love triangle thing but was actually pleasant about it.
Replace Sawyer with Tommy Gavin. We need someone who won’t take any guff, not someone who hides in his tent and sulks reading Steinbeck and Penthouse. He’s a commanding personality who never actually wanted to be the boss, perfect for those leadership crises Lost loved so much.
Michael and Walt can be Randy and Stan Marsh. Stan’s mystical power is his ability to reduce unnecessarily complex problems to simple questions and find answers that respect the rights of all involved. The Others can’t stand this, so they kidnap him.
Hmmm, I like your thinking here but am really feeling horrible so I will be down for a couple three days but i really want to get in on this one. So hopefully I will be back soon…..
Well now, Smokie old bud,
Since you’re not working at present, I guess calling in sick to a LOST SUCKS blog will just have to do.
I never heard of this before so you win the originality prize for this weekend.
And Deus, I do like your ’substitutes,’ ’specially The Tommy Gavin for Sawyer one. But I choose for Michael and Walt “CHEF” and “Token” cause I’m a bigot and we all know that Black is Black, just like my fav phrase:
‘No Matter Where You Go – There you are!’
Of course you remember who said that, right?
Buckaroo Banzai? I never actually saw that, but I’ve seen the quote. If I am wrong, so be it.
Is this Chef before or after he got brainwashed by the Super Adventure Club to have sex with children?
On second thought I’m not sure Tommy Gavin would work without a steady supply of beer and whiskey.
You ever see Nip/Tuck? I want Eva Moore as the new Juliet.
You got the quote 100% cien por ciento correctamente, Deus.
You’d like Buckaroo…watch it if you can.
Ava Moore – Famke Janssen, certainly was hot but she’s getting old…Yep, I AM a
nip-tucker’ fan too, but my analogue to your Ava is the even more super hottie (even tho as old as Famke) with the cool London accent: Rhona Mitra.
God, I worship even saying her name: Rhona Mitra.
But please get Buckaroo, Deus…I stand behind my recommendation knowing you* as I think do.
And I am still looking for a cost-effective Showtime Masters of Horror DVD set.
__________________________________
* for example, I just KNOW you liked the original “The Wicker Man” movie for many of your own reasons, correct?
Me too…
Look at Ava Moore from the Lost point of view. We get like half a dozen episodes of this hot woman going around seducing Jack and being hot, and all the fanboys are drawing pornos and posting erotic fan fiction on the internet, then BAM, flashback episode. Then another two or three seasons of her seducing Jack and marrying Sawyer.
Sure, she’s getting a little older, but she’s still beautiful and there’s something about the way she talks. She can be cold and dismissive without being bitchy. Why does that turn me on? Why does it remind me of my mother?
Might it be that Ava Moore was a MAN? ☺☺
I aint all that intelligent, not saying that I am an idiot either. I will go as far as saying I am a little slow, sure. The two comments above me though, just seem wrong for some reason…..
Star Trek crew, preferably 1960s ones in 1960s condition.
Hey you all everybody, I seem to have made it through one more time. This one was pretty rough on my sorry pathetic ass. I’m finally starting to feel a little better anyways. So sorry about everybodys luck but you aint rid of me just yet. I wanted to do a little with this topic, so here goes. I thought I would change it up a bit. How about putting the LO$T characters in the place of the regular characters. Let’s use the old STAR TREK for example. The Jackass will be Captain Kirk. John Locke will be Spock, Kate is Uhura. Sawyer as Scotty, and since George Takai (Sulu) is queer that makes Miles the perfect candidate for that position. Hurley as Chekov, and Fairygay as the good Doctor. OK, we start the scene with Miles telling the Jackass that they have a fixed orbit around Turloc 4. Locke tells the Jackass that sensors are picking up modern citys on the planets surface. Jackass tells Kate to try and open hailing frequencies with the planet. Kate not having any idea just what the hell she is doing cannot get in touch with the planet. Jackass decides they better go down and investigate. The landing party consists of Jackass, Locke, Kate, Hurley and Fairygay. We are now in the transporter room with Sawyer at the controls. Sawyer asks Jackass why he don’t get to go and Jackass gives him that stupid shit eating grin and says “cause I said so.” Sawyer under his breath says “son of a bitch, fucken asshole.” Jackass says “energize” and the group disappears in a cloud of alka-seltzer bubbles. END PART ONE…..
OK, upon landing on the surface our zeros find themselves in thick jungle surroundings. Jackass starts throwing a hissy fit. In the distance a very strange noise is heard. Locke breaks out with a tricorder and starts scanning like he knows what he is doing. He gets a funny look on his face. Jackass asks “what is it Mr. Locke?” Locke says “readings suggest that the entity is nothing but smoke.” Jackass says “what the hell you talking about Mr. Locke?” About that time the smoke monster grabs Kate by the throat, raises her about 25 feet off the ground and hurls her right back to the ground. Hurley says “dude, I sure am glad that wasn’t me!” Fairygay rushes over to Kate and starts crying “she’s dead.” Suddenly the smoke monster reaches down and picks up Dr. Danny boy and shoots strait up in the air about 150 feet and just lets go of Dr. Dan, and on the way down he is still balling like a baby and says “it wasn’t supposed to happen this way! My mom was supposed to kill me!” He dies immediatly upon impact with the ground. Everybody is a red shirt in my stories!!! So we see the cowardly threesome hiding under the roots of some nearby trees. Looking around making sure the coast is clear Jackass, Mr. Locke and Hugo come out from under the roots. Jackass looks at them and says “let’s get the hell outta here!” He pulls his communicator out, opens it and tells Sawyer to beam them up. Just as the alka-seltzer bubbles start the smoke monster latches on to Mr. Locke as we see them disappear from the surface of the planet. A short time later we see the alka-seltzer bubbles appear on the surface of the planet. A lone figure stands upon the surface. On board the ship we see a piller of black smoke sitting in the captains chair telling Miles “take us out of orbit Miles and put us on a course for out there somewhere” pointing at the screen to no actual place in particular. Back on the surface of the planet we see the Jackass falling to his knees crying “WHY!!!” Well it aint much but it’s better then nothing!!! OR NOT…..
Glad you’re feeling better Smokie~
Damn, you sure can write up a storm when you put your mind to it.
Thanks man!!! I am feeling a little better today even and thats a good thing. As far as the writing thing goes, putting some words down is one thing. Having them make sense is another…..
LOST WILL BE THE SHOW THAT WILL ALWAYS BEEN REMEMBER AS THE SHOW WITH ONE OF THE BEST START ON A SERIES EVER AND WITH ONE OF THE WORST ENDING EVER!!!
GREAT JOB PRODUCERS!! THANKS FOR LETTING US BELIEVE IN YOU!! WE WILL ALWAYS REGRET IT!! ALWAYS!!
That is so true mate!!
I’m not too big on award shows, but Lost better not win any Emmys. None of the actors, or episodes (especially the finale) deserve it. They should all get razzies.
Lost was up for best dramatic series and best dramatic actor (Matthew Fox). It didn’t win either. Their problem was they screwed up their nominations. They should have put Nestor Carbonell up for best dramatic actor and nominated the show as a comedy.
They went to the Emmys and they
BOOM
LOST.
HA!!! Great post, them fuck ups don’t deserve no awards. Especially after the last few seasons. I was pissed off last year when Emerson got that emmy and he wasn’t in but just a few episodes…..
Wow. The thread is still going huh? I didn’t know Matthew Fox was up for a best dramatic actor Emmy until I saw it last night. Pretty sweet to see him lose out to the insanely talented Bryan Cranston. And after all the hype, it was nice to see Lost lose as best drama as well.
Damon and Carlton can once again go fuck themselves. Because of them, I don’t even feel like getting started on this fall’s “The Event” (which looks like it might be pretty good) because I just don’t want to invest myself in some long-running quasi-mysterious drama. Thanks for ruining a format for me you two fucking douchebags.
My sentiments exactly. I damn sure couldn’t have said it better myself…..
I found out what “The Event” is about…can anyone else verify what it is?
It is a new TV show coming out this fall. I must be feeling better eh? The smart ass is sure coming out anyways…..
Found it! Yeah, you guys tried to trick me. Too bad though. You guys can’t take anything away from the fans, especially after Ghostbusters 1; maybe the dead have been rising from the grave. How about some music.
Desmond: I’m Desmond Hume, brotha, and I’m prepared to make a full report. These men are consummate snowball artists. They use sense and nerve gases to induce hallucinations. People think they’re seeing the light at the heart of the island, and they call these bozos, who conveniently show up and to deal with the problem with a fake, electronic light show.
Jacob: Everything was fine until dickless here pulled the magic rock out of the hole.
Desmond: They caused an earthquake!
Jack: Is this true?
Smokey: Yes, it’s true. This man has no dick.
WHAAAaaatt!!!!!!!!!! Oh OK, what kind of music do you like? Glad to see that you made time to stop in for a minute. Have you killed your little brother yet? There aint any of the older tribe around anymore. Nice to see mr. monkey made it in for a minute. Me and a couple of others are all that stand watch anymore and I keep falling asleep at my post. If I was in the Japanese military they would have killed me by now…..
Smokie not Locke and Inherited Tiger, sitting on a beach…
And here comes a sailing ship…
Ummm, yeah, OK but I was just wondering, is that offer for breakfast still on? Because I sure would like some of that fish you just caught. Oh hey, by the way you wouldn’t know anything about that ship out there, now would you? Who cares anyways? Maybe you could catch another one of them there fish and how about a couple of eggs over easy with hash browns and toast, buttered on both sides if you don’t mind eh? Hey now you offered…..
Do you guys realize that if Jacob and his Bro took turns fucking their adopted Mom, which wouldn’t be against any morality I can fathom, they would be much more happy with their Pleasure Island?
I guarantee you that someone else would glow besides the secret pit o fun!
Then they could fuck the various castaways who the island brings to them.
It would be so fuckin great everyone fucking each other, free food drops from Dharma central…shit they all could be nekkid – why wear clothes at all?
Sounds like a porno to me!!! Where the hell is that Sun when you need her? Is it just me or is something kinda funny going on here? Hmmm, setting myself up for disaster with that question. Oh well. OK, we got Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) and Yunjin Kim (Sun), now just what is up with that? They related or what? Was LO$T a vertual incestuous wonderland for these two? I mean, I knew Sun was a whore but aint this going a little to far? Kinda creepy if you ask me. I would do her no doubt, and enjoy the hell out of it but come on here. Not if she was my sister!!! First cousin? Sure I would but I wouldn’t marry her is all…..
Those two Koreans simply up and et Vincent da doggie so they are out…
I can tollarate most all things Smokie but eating a body’s pet pooch…not forgivable by a long shot!
Ya don’t say!!! I am with you on this one, like stink on shit. I had no idea that them two sons a bitches had done anything like that. That burns my ass to no end. I mean come fucking on here. It wasn’t like there wasn’t anything else to eat!!! That kind of shit is just plain immoral, unethical, reprehensible and any way you look at it, just plain wrong!!! This is mans best friend were talking about here!!! Holy jumping shit, it’s, it’s, almost fucking, I hate to say it, but it’s almost, cannibalistic!!! There I said it. Oh the humanity!!! Have these people no scruples for crying out loud? It’s mans best friend for Christs sakes, ya don’t just go and eat it. I guess it does happen though. If I were to walk around the block in my neighborhood, especially at night, there are scads of dogs barking at you as you mosey along your way. I mention this because years ago when I was in the Philippines, me and a couple other guys were walking to a house of ill repute that was off the beaten path. They were known as the jungles. As we were walking through these neighborhoods I noticed that something was wrong. There was no typical sounds. Like dogs barking or cats scaring the hell out of you when they come tearing ass out of the bushes. So I bring this matter up with the guys I was walking with. They start laughing at me. I say whats so damn funny about that? They proceed in telling me that said critters are delicacies in this part of the world. I just can’t imagine eating my best friend, no matter what…..
“NO TREATS TODAY”
By Potiphar Breen
Picture, if you will…
Jungle-ocean-white sand-Sun and Jin escaped from the sunken sub because the Island wanted it.
They hug and kiss and make love all day until the sun gets low. Jin says “Wow that was three years worth of great makeup sex! I bet you are hungry as I am, no? You go get wood and rocks for fire, I go catch fish and urchins; we will eat like when first on Island.”
Sun smiles, kisses Jin on his forehead, then slowly, sexily, giving come-hither looks, disappears into the foliage. Jin wades in the shoreline for food, smiling while bending over to rip a fresh urchin here then there while humming a song he picked up three years earlier called “Namaste Me – Namaste You.”
But HARK!
What’s that sound coming from the upper beach, right at the jungle line?
Not the ‘Whispers’ nor any ‘Other’ but the low-slung shape of a swiftly moving white animal, running towards Jin’s unguarded back at breakneck speed.
Jin hears the rushing of something coming at him, and, as he instinctively spins around, the animal stops dead in its tracks.
Geez, it’s the long-gone black boy’s white dog Vincent, who nobody gave a shit about when the Island started hopping akimbo thru time and space.
What a reunion…the joyous, panting, ‘oh-my-best-friends-are-back’ look on lonely Vincent’s mug, who awaited faithfully for his friends to return, his solitude now banished, and…
Jin, squatin’ down, presenting his outstretched arm with a teasingly closed fist, beckoning in his peculiar broken learnt Dharma English, says “here boy, good doggie, Jin havva treat for yu,” whist Vin pads over, eyes sparklin, tail a-waggin like a crazed metronome, givvin that doggie slobbering grin only a real happy pup can give…
Sun – still being goddam hungry – silently sidles up from behind and, with arms raised high over her flatty faced slit eyed waxen complexed-never-to-be-Occidental hysterical kim-chi lovin head, rock-BASHES poor Vinnie’s dog skull in on itself moments after Jin opens his hand to show that, sadly, there are …
NO TREATS TODAY!
At least not for Vincent (RIP)
Sorry…I’m just one sick fucker.
I love the way you repeated the story’s title at its conclusion. Did you plan it that way all along? That’s the epitome of brilliant dramaturgical structure, when you repeat something from the beginning at the end. I will admit it, I cried.
(Actually, I laughed.)
Damn Potty, you are quite the little story teller yourself. As for you being a sick fucker, I really don’t see it. Sorry to have to say this but you don’t hold a candle to the sick twisted fucks we know as Darlton. You kept kind of an even keel to your story. Them fucktards liked to bring you up, then just slam you to the ground by never bringing to light most of the story line. Even when they did it was so stupid that I would find myself screaming at the TV in bitter frustration untill it became more enjoyable to come here and criticise the show then it was to watch it. So great story dude and don’t sell yourself to short…..
Hey Deus & Smokie,
Dammit guys, those nesting blue boxes are giving me a headache!
Thank you both for your kind words. Take comfort ( I think) in knowing that both of you were inspirations to me in writing that ‘mepisode.’
@Deus
Yes I threaded that title to jibe with the end in a kinda-sorta way that Rod Serling and crew would have posited it, with a littl bit of Al Hitchcock Presents thrown in fer good measure and I did conceive that title & ending at the very start of my exposition. I just KNEW you would specially appreciate that Deus.
@Smokie
Aw, gee, you are so damn nice to me, Smokie, sayin that I’m not as sick a fucker as I make myself out to be. (snap quiz: who said that in what movie?)
Maybe I am, maybe I’m not, but I thank you anyways.
Since I am out of work also and, well, fucking OLD, I have the time to reflect upon my existence.
On a personal note, I always found a pleasant diversion in the twisted, the ironic, and the bizarre throughout my life.
An uncle of mine was a travelling salesman-cum-magician who turned me on to Mad magazine at an early age. He was the first person to ’splain to me how a laser worked scientifically in great and intricate detail. Of course that ‘weird’ uncle finally disappeared off the face of the Earth one day and no one ever saw or heard from him again but he indeed left his mark on me (as my aunt was a total raving biotch before the word was even invented I really respected him for that final disappearing trick he pulled off).
As he was a Sci-Fi buff he saved all his paperbacks for me so as a consequence it was he who turned me on to so many new worlds, different concepts, and human (or perhaps inhuman) conditions.
One of his favorites was Heinlein, and he simply loved a particular short story character named, you guessed it…
Potiphar Breen.
My fist thumping on heart to you both, Gentlemen.
Well I tell you what, I have always been a pretty straight forward person. I have always liked to say, “I say it as I see it.” Now as the old cliche goes, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. With that in mind, a lot of the time the way I seen it wasn’t necessarily the absolute way it actually is. Same as you, I have always been fascinated with the macabre and the completely crazy people of the world. Don’t ask me why but serial killers totally fascinate me for some reason. I guess it is because I just can’t understand how or why these people can do the things they do. I have always been a little twisted in my thinking but not so much as to hurt anybody except for maybe their feelings and I try to not even do that. For example, I try really hard to stay away from the topic of religon. All because my beliefs are quite different then the mainstream view that preachers like to have you believe. I like to watch movies and television shows that unlike LO$T the shock factors are done correctly and not just down right stupid. As my children were growing up I would tell them to use their imagination to the fullest extent because as you get older you seem to dwell more in the reality than fantasy. So if I was able to be a part of the imagination cogs in your brain to start to turn, if only for a moment or two, still the person I am most proud of is you…..
Are we all out of work? I got a promising (but not really) phone call from some HR guy who said their travel people were gonna call me and set up and interview, and they never did. I should probably call him back and see if he tells me a comforting lie or just hangs up on me.
Hey guys, I have a confession. I just gave a little bit of money to Darlton. I bought the season one soundtrack because I liked the music, and season one was still cool, right? I mean, it’s not that I like Lost, I hate it, but some of the music was pretty good. There’s actually a fairly wide range of styles in season one, it didn’t become all romance and action music until later in the show, I guess. Like that NY Magazine article someone posted above, the show started out as a multicultural ensemble with a balance of men and women, then it turned into the white boys action club and the women all turned into prizes to be won by whichever man was most manly. That changed the music. Maybe.
It’s OK Deus, really it is.
Music itself is a comfort to some, and an artform to all, one way or ‘nuther.
Me, personally, I enjoy a light rousing “Deutschland über Alles” choral followed up with a slamhammer “Die Wacht am Rhein” but, hey, it does soothe this savage breast.
Holy what the hell kind of music is that? I like all kinds of music like the oldies, classic rock, punk rock, some of the new stuff, I wish I could do Katy Perry’s stuff!!! And I aint talking about her music. Hell I was country when contry was uncool. Now I do have to admit that I never got into motown or disco or the real screamy hair bands of the 80s. All that shit grinded on my nerves pretty hard. I like some classical, but I think thats only because I watched a lot of bugs bunny when I was a kid. But hey to each his own I say. Music is a funny thing. Sometimes I will hear a song that I never heard before and think that it sucks but after I hear it a few more times I will kind of like it. Some others it don’t matter how many times I hear it because it just plain sucks. Hmmm, just like that show LO$T. Then there is rap. Just my opinion but thats some shit there buddy. I say “you can’t say crap without rap being in it.” Get it, shit, crap, rap, it’s OK folks I will be here all week. Or maybe I should say weak!!! Anyways, I guess all music is cool as long as it’s what “you” like. You do understand that I just hang around waiting for you or the Deus to post something so I can give you guys a hard time. Because you guys seem to be the only ones to come around any more, and I really have nothing better to do with my petty little poor miserable, pathetic existence. So don’t take a whole lot of what I say to heart, because most of it is just the rantings of a mad man with nothing else to do with his life. Holy shit, “has anybody found that rope for me yet? How about a bullet? Anybody out there got a bullet I can get from them?” Ahh, forget it, I would probably miss anyway. So why waste a good bullet…..
Oh man, I can’t believe you done that!!! Your best bet is to bow out gracefully and never show your face again in these parts. Or at least come back with a different name. I am so disappointed in you!!! Not really dude!!!!! I personally really liked season one and aint afraid to admit it. Sure there was some slow moments but all in all it was why I became a fan of the show. It seemed to me that in that season they worked real hard to put out an excellent show in all aspects. Now if ya would have got that big DVD collection, I might have chastised you soundly for throwing your money away. Even if you would have, I still would have forgiven you, but not for at least a week. I act like I’m really somebody eh? HA!!!!!
Don’t have money for the big DVD collection, and I don’t want it. I can’t rewatch this show. You know what I have been watching? The Addams Family. They have it on Netflix streaming. I have never really watched it before, and it’s really funny. It’s more vaudeville than sitcom, joke after joke after joke. You don’t like the joke you just heard, there’s another one coming. If they think they didn’t get a joke quite right, they do it again next week with a few changes. There were a lot of great comedies in the 60s. I Dream of Jeannie and Get Smart were two of my favorites when they were on Nick at Nite. Now they show stuff like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I love the Fresh Prince, but way to make me feel old, air a show that I saw in first run on your golden oldies channel.
Back to Lost. I’ve been thinking about why I’m so attracted to this phenomenon. I think it’s because I still harbor some dreams of being a writer. Looking at early Lost, I can see what really hooked me and so many other people–and looking at late Lost, I can see why it was a disaster. (The NY Magazine article from way up above really helped with that.) Maybe I can take some lessons from it. I promise if I ever write something, it’ll have an end that is an actual conclusion to the story I told and not some completely unrelated story that is both irrelevant and makes everything that came before pointless. Heck, maybe I’ll start by rewriting the end of Lost.
I figure that you must be mid to later 20s in age. Probably about 5′9″ to 5′10 1/2″ and about 170 to 185 in waight. I also think you are more than likely stronger than an ox and just don’t really know it. Have a pretty wife and no kids just yet. Now I bet you are wondering how I know all this, right? Well I know this because I am psyco!!! Not just a little and not a lot, we are talking totally, completely and certifiably insane. Have been most of my life. I like to blame my dysfunction on my three older brothers who I know stayed awake many nights figuring out ways to be meaner then hell to their youngest sibling. My father was 53 years old when I was born and divorced my mother before I was even one year old and raised us four boys on his own. Now the reason I am telling you this is to prove to you that I am psyco!!! More proof of my abilities is that if you have ever watched the Late Late Show with Craig Furgusen you would know that sometimes at the beginning of the show he has a puppet or two to start it off. I love the little bunny character. If you have never seen it then you too!!! OK, OK down to business. Growing up in the 60s was great. I can’t think of a better time to have grown up in. TV shows were still in black and white. You had The Wonderful World of Disney, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Laredo, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Honeymooners, It Takes A Thief, Rowan and Martins Laugh In, The Flip Wilson Show, All In The Family, Batman, Munsters, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Andy Griffith Show, and my personal favorite STAR TREK. Thats just to name a few. It just seems like the shows back then were funnier more wholesome and far more entertaining then the shows of the last few decades. I don’t know maybe i’m crazy. (refer back to beginning) As for you writing another ending for LO$T, all I can say about that is, go for it dude!!! I have read everything you have posted on this site and I have the utmost faith in your abilities as a novice writer. Now the only thing holding you back is yourself. So there ya go. I will be looking forward to reading it…..
Well, well, well, now that’s a deep subject for my shallow assed mind any way you look at it!!! So today has been a pretty good day for me for a change. Not something I have been able to say for quite some time now. I received a phone call today that I have been waiting for. It was the VA telling me that they want to cut this fucking clog out of my neck on the 23rd of this month. WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Finally!!! I went to see the Doctor to give the OK for this a long time back. It seems that my paperwork got LO$T somewhere in the shuffle and just now for some odd reason, figured out that something was wrong and just now figured out what it was. Hell I figured they had just forgot about me and didn’t care that they did. My six month check up will be coming up in about a month and I was going to give my nurse practioner a butt load of shit about just what they are not doing for me. The last four months have been murder on my old lady because when I go down I turn into something that makes Mr.Hyde look like a pussy cat!!! I got holes in three doors that I have put my fist through. About a month ago she had said something to me while I was in one of my down sessions, while getting up to go to the bathroom and I wound up throwing the vacuum cleaner at her. She got out of the way fast enough but it broke her laptop and broke the window out in the front room. Now I have always had a bit of a temper but never have I been out of control like that trying to hurt somebody. I usually holler for a little bit and get over it. Another time I threw a coffee cup at her and it hit her and left a bruise on her ass that took three weeks to clear up. My kidneys have been hurting me something fierce for some time now and sometimes the pain is devastating. I figured that and not getting enough blood to my retarded brain along with all these meds they have me on was making Russell a very unhappy camper. So I quit taking the meds and after about three days my kidneys finally started to ease up on me and even though I have went down twice since then, I haven’t got so goddamn mean that I can’t even stand being around myself thank god!!! I asked her the other day why and how do you put up with this kind of bullshit, because anybody else would of had me thrown in jail and left my miserable pathetic ass. She tells me that she has lived with me for 15 years now and has never known me to be like this. She says I’m sick and she loves me and would never leave me when I was sick and needed her help and that I would do the same for her if it was the other way around. Now I tell you what, if that aint love in the truest form then I don’t know what is. I am a very lucky man. We haven’t had sex in over two years and if I was in her shoes that right there would be enough for me to bail. It aint as if I don’t want to but the damn thing just don’t work at all anymore. It is impossible to screw when all you got is a wet noodle to do it with. Maybe a little two much information there but my point being, I am one lucky son of a bitch I tell you what!!! Asking her to come live with me was the best decision I ever made and I haven’t made very many of those in my life. Alright you fuckers wake the hell up. Sorry about boring you to death but like I said earlier, today has been a good day for a change…..
Nice story bro
Wow, forget the Island…this website has a mind of it’s own!
I was writing this big long overly emotional reply-rant-soulsearch-goddam manifesto and the damn thing WOULDN’T POST HERE!!
Tried a second time: NO POST either so I went to bed.
I am now thankful cause it got off to shitstupid different arenas and ignored the humanity expressed here of late.
Humbled by my idiocy, am I now.
Glad you didn’t read it.
Oh man, I can’t believe you didn’t try one more time. You know three is a charm!!! Hell if it weren’t for big long overly emotional reply-rant-soulsearch-goddam manifestos about shitstupid different arenas that ignore humanity completely and totally all together, including ate up with the dumbass shit being as stupifying as it gets. I wouldn’t have nothing to say. That’s the biggest reason why I come here. I don’t know of anywhere else I can go and post any of the off topic, stupid, ignorant, vulgar, meaningless, lose my train of thought but keep on writing, rants and raves that sometimes go on and on about shit that nobody gives a rats ass about and not get eighty sixed for life comments that I have posted on this site. I can’t tell you how many times (because I can’t count that high) that I have went back and read what I have just wrote and thought, goddamn now thats some really stupid shit there boy, but clicked the old add comment button anyways. There was a time when the fanbois had infiltrated the site so bad that right after you posted something a little condescending about the show, three or four of them fuckers would come right back at you being just down right meaner then hell with their replys. At first I wasn’t sure how to take it and became a little nervous about posting. They were acting like you were attacking them personally and they would attack you back very personally. After it happened to me a few times I declared war and started attacking back not caring what it was I would throw at them. That was a major reason why I changed my name three times since I started coming here. Finally this last season I made up my mind that nothing they could say was going to piss me off anymore because I had let them get my goat to many times. So instead of getting all worked up about it, I would try to come up with something completely off the wall that made absolutely no sense what so ever or try to be funny or not even reply to it. But after about the third episode of the last season they started not coming back. I guess they had no choice because the show had got so fucken stupid that there was no defending it what so ever, and not to long after that there wasn’t any. Well every now and again we would get one that would post a comment like, you stupid fuckers can go fuck yourselves, but the true fighters had all gone. I personally think that some of them got so fed up with the stupidity of the show that they changed their names and come over to our side. So as far as stupid comments go I still think i’m king and if you don’t believe me all you have to do is go back and read the last three or four comments I have posted. And with that I say “your honor I rest my case”…..
i dont understand people liking and adoring the worst sci fi crap… Star Trek is crap, Star Wars is crap (yes, it is), and of course… Lost, the worst kind of crap (and is not even really sci fi).
they may be infected…
Lost was sci fi for a while. Not hard SF, but still sci fi. It posited the existence of something unknown to current science–a vein of exotic matter in an island that warped local spacetime in a non-Einsteinian way and opened wormholes–and explored the effect of that something on society. The ancients built a religion around it and zealously protected it, the moderns tried to understand and exploit it, etc. There was a lot of other junk like coincidental meetings and numbers and Kate’s horse, but behind the mysticism there was some kind of physical law in effect, and the characters sought to discover those laws and understand the universe.
It became something else by the end, when the physical laws became “rules” made up by a deity. I would call it fantasy, but in fantasy the rules usually make sense and constrain all the characters. JRR Tolkien’s Morgoth is a god, but he still has to follow the rules. Lost wasn’t like that; its god made up its own rules, broke them at will, and was never really sure what it was doing or why it was doing it. (And I don’t just mean protecting the light. I mean other stupidities like bringing people to the island he was trying to protect from people, killing the brother he was magically unable to harm, and then not killing the smoke monster that replicated the brother he killed.) When physical law is governed by someone’s whim, there can be no science or natural philosophy at all.
The first Star Wars trilogy and Star Trek up through the end of DS9 were pretty cool.
