I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did they both have guns? Or did Zeke take Michael's gun from him? Because that would blow my beautiful theory. Oh, well. It was fun being brilliant for a moment.

I don't think Widmore is a nice man, and he definitely treated Desmond like shit in previous episodes, but I'm going to save "evil" until I really know what his motives are. He isn't yet as bad as Locke's father, but I'm going to wait and see...

Do you think it is possible that a 3rd party planted the plane and bodies. Conveniently Ben and Widmore have blamed each other - what if the Hanso Foundation people did it?

Sometimes, in between my annoyance and frustration, I give the Lost folk the benefit of the doubt. I know they went to the ass-pull school of storytelling, but I figure it must be damn near impossible to handle a survival story with so many characters (with their respective development arcs and inter-relationships), while progressing the overall arc of the show without it getting tedious.

Then I watched Jericho.

Well, Jericho did drop a bunch of stuff in the second season.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Then I watched Jericho.

Not having watched Jericho, I'm confused: Was it more or less ass-pully than Lost?

Well, Jericho did drop a bunch of stuff in the second season.

Hard to address everything in 7 episodes, especially when your budget shrinks so half your regulars become recurring or less. Also, I didn't notice them dropping all that much of significance, but that could just be me.

I guess my point was that it can be done, and it can be done well. As proof, see Jericho.

Jericho was one long adrenaline rush second season - they had to make decisions to concentrate the storyline and only allow in things that would move it forward.

That should be every show's objective - all the time.

But that does explain how it was so awesome.

What is even happening?

And our love for it explains why it's over. sniff
