what? the fucking christian crap was a joke. a character called christian shepard actually opens the doors of a church to reveal a massive light that floods the room. bull-fucking-shit.

Another thumbs up for Breaking Bad. My favorite of the 00's is probably Six Feet Under. It would have been Nip Tuck but that ran out of steam to fast. Still though the Flabby Abby story line was the funniest story line I have ever seen on TV...

atsonicpark 05.24.2010 10:33 AM

so, it ended like the ICP joker cards...

ni'k 05.24.2010 10:36 AM

way fucking worse.

it was destroyed by its own creators not some drunken juggalos.

altho if juggalos had directed the finale it would have been a lot better.

OMG ITS ALL A CHRISTIAN ALLEGORY THEY ARE ALL IN CHURCH AND THEN JACK IS THE HERO AND EVERYONE LIVES HAPPILY EVER AFTER IN CHURCH.

fucking disgrace. 6 years of plots that went no where. no answers. they had no plan and no idea what they were doing. absolutely nothing substantial. it really was bad.

oh well. its over now.

Rob Instigator 05.24.2010 10:57 AM

they all died dude.
they died when they crashed and the entire show was flashbacks.

ni'k 05.24.2010 11:04 AM

i know they were dead in the church.

but how can the whole thing be flashbacks of what happened after they died?

wait. don't answer that. i don't care anymore.

Rob Instigator 05.24.2010 11:09 AM

because the whole stupid show was a fucking Maguffin.

I don't know what the fuck you expected. What show answers EVERYTHING and maintains its charm? I didn't think it was a perfect ending but I thought it was good enough.

It wasn't a christian allegory. It was spiritual in a sense but it didnt single out any one religion or hold to any ONE religion's beliefs.

The smoke monster was there from the beginning by the way, in the pilot. I'd say they had some idea of what they're doing. But then again, admitting that wouldnt make your sonic youth gossip rant about LOST any cooler and prolly take away yer cred.

The writers even made fun of the name christian sheppard by having kate call it out. All the stuff that happened on the Island was real, and this alternate timeline thing was just a waiting place of sorts. You could call it purgatory if you're christian, but Matthew Fox explained on Kimmel what I believe it to have been.

When you die you see friends and people that impacted you in life that you trust, and they are there to help you move on. To remember your death.

His death wasnt the plane crash but he died on the island. All the weird mythology and scientific stuff was real. Jack died while the others escaped and went on to live whatever lives they had left.


What's shitty about that?

All the ppl who died on the island over the past 6 years died there.

They answered all the MAIN mysteries like...who the others were, who their leaders were, how they're leaders got their powers, and etc.

They didnt have to fully explain WTF the island is, why would they? Leave some mystery to it all. It would have been bad writing otherwise.

Obviously the light is some weird pocket of electromagnetism and it keeps the island alive. For some reason it had to be protected, it's always had a protector, and the show ended with a new protector being chosen.


Dunno what all the bitching is about really. It's not perfect but it's a TV show and the best one in a long time.

That's always been his name. Should have stopped watching in season 1.

OMG they were in a church, that's usually where funerals happen lol. Even athiests will go to a friends funeral...

ni'k 05.24.2010 12:42 PM

my... cred... disappearing... ugh... must... maintain... cred... can't ... hold... on...

 

ni'k 05.24.2010 12:43 PM

by the way im a fucking athiest and i wouldnt go to a friends funeral. id have more fucking respect. maybe id torch the church it was happening in. you know, just for the CRED.

i wasn't expecting anything. i knew it would suck and it did. i just didn't imagine it could be THAT shit.

but you're right. the fact that the character was called christian sheperd and kate made fun of it shows they are such self aware genius's, almost self effacingly ironic... how could i not see this as the mindblowing televisual feat of uniqueness that it is?

and you're right again, it wasn't even christian. it was the church of agnostic los angeles actors were everyone has immaculate make up and all creeds colours and races co exist in harmonious vaguely spritual vacuity. saying things like, "time to let go." and "you just have to believe". because when you die you see people who had an emotional impact on your lives, and everyone is happy and no one gets offended- im sorry i cant type anymore of this bullshit.

i dont care. it sucked. you disagree. whatever. its over and i dont want to talk about it anymore. i dont really see how disliking something that YOU like means i must be doing some sort of pose for cred. but you know, whatever, if you are so determined to defend that piece of shit of a show go ahead, you win, i don't care.

DeadDiscoDildo 05.24.2010 01:57 PM

Wow, way to make a giant post off of one thing I said. I guess the cred thing really offended you.

You seem like such a genius yrself, why even bother watching television? Go write your masterpiece :)

I never called anyone on the show a genius, just saying I enjoyed it.

Even though I don't believe in any religion myself and consider them poison, if I have a friend who believes in something I respect their right to believe whatever they want. If I had a friend who died I would go to their funeral out of respect to my friend, I would put my beliefs aside to honor their memory. You sound like one of those trolling athiest cunts, go burn down a church with berzum ha

DeadDiscoDildo 05.24.2010 01:58 PM

& it seems like the people who HATE lost are the ones who keep talking about it, I wasnt going to mention it on these forums at all. You guys made the thread, lol.

cinos 05.24.2010 03:33 PM

What happen? Never watched the show!

hevusa 05.24.2010 03:44 PM

I have never been so happy about a show ending that I never watched!

samuel 05.24.2010 04:48 PM

I think the finale was kick ass. Not a single episode was boring. Even the "filler" episodes helped to develop the characters, and according to one of the producers, character development was the main purpose for the show. And although there are many connections to Christianity, there are many more related to other religions. The whole mythology of this place was well crafted. I'm sad the story has ended, but enough was answered for me and the interpretations people throughout the world will take from it will be all across the spectrum.

hevusa 05.24.2010 04:50 PM

that show sucked so much it hurts

i watched the first few episodes... you have to be a fucking moron to buy that stupid shit.

So yeah, never watched the series cause that show sucks big hairy balls.

akprodr 05.24.2010 05:57 PM

Am I the only one who noticed that the church was where the Dharma Lamp Post station was? I was wondering if they were going to go back to the Island.

And, the church scene was somewhat reminiscent of the similar scene in the Chronicles of Narnia: an afterlife where all your friends are (regardless of whether they are alive or dead).

You didn't notice (or care) that Hurley told Ben 'you were a great #2' (and vice versa) when that just happened a moment before on the Island?

Yeah, I thought it was a typical good show for Lost.

Glice 05.24.2010 06:26 PM

This is a funny thread.

Lurker 05.24.2010 06:28 PM

You're a funny thread!

Glice 05.24.2010 06:34 PM

also why do people who never seen the show seem to give so much of a shit about it? seriously you havent watched it and you give an opinion based on what, your telepathic implants???? havent seen it...fine..... i havent ever seen sex in the city and dont want to either, mrs footface and her 3 ugly mother in laws dont appeal to me but im not gonna start quipping about errors in plot lines and the pathos of the next shoe shop scenes....

ITS A FUCKING TELEVISION SHOW! its not noam chomsky!

sorry...rant over now! ;-)

ni'k 05.25.2010 12:13 PM

that's kind of a strange response pauly, because how am i not accepting that people like it? i dont care who likes it or who doesnt, i never gave any indication that i did. that doesnt bother me. i just think it was a bullshit ending and a betrayal of any of the interesting potentials it had and i was shocked at how bland and cheesy it was.

why do people feel the need to get upset and kick off about it? if i dont like it and you do why do you care? you'd almost think it was because some people can't think enough for themselves and are insecure about not liking the right things or something? is my hatred of the ending gonna ruin your enjoyment? how am i the one not "accepting" that people like it? if anything its the other way round. its the people who LIKE the show that are the ones that start attacking me personally and show the insecurity, not that its offensive, just boring. i dont give a fuck. if i like some album and other people hate it do i care? like i might defend the album but resorting to attacking people is just like childish mud flinging about who likes the cooler shit. like if someone attacks the bands you like they are somehow attacking your identity. thats lame.

i dont know why i even bother writing this because this is sure a boring as shit discussion.

Rob Instigator 05.25.2010 12:36 PM

as boring as the TV show

I don't either. You always have a cinder block paragraph to add to a subject you apparently considered dead I don't know how long ago.

I myself enjoyed the finale. It was grand, epic, above all fitting. Not perfect though, I don't think anything will top The Wire's ending. There are some unresolved threads, but that happens in plenty of fiction, just have to get past it.

space 05.25.2010 12:49 PM

lack of general writing skills is a plague that I plan to capitalize on.

BRING ON MORE CRAP PLZ!!!

PAULYBEE2656 05.26.2010 07:21 AM

nik. it wasnt aimed at yourself. it was a vast general sweeping statement covering an area large as my tarring brush! i mean i do take you up on the church thing...what did you expect...wasnt that obvious???

anyhoo nik, you missed my point completely..... never mind doesnt matter. no big deal, sorry if you got the wrong end of my stick. it wasnt aimed at yourself.

SYHamilton 05.26.2010 07:44 AM

I never saw it either, but the thing I never understood is how that one character stays so fat. Is there an all-you-can-eat buffet on that island?

ni'k 05.26.2010 07:44 AM

no baw big lad.

i prefer the church scene that played in my head wherein when christian opened the doors the polar bear came in and mauled them all.
