Yeah, I can work with that. I really like that the final message of the series is that it's the connection between all these people that matters.
I think THIS is why I come out on the "liked it even if it's not completely satisfying" side.
A better ending than Twin Peaks, I suppose.
Well, to be fair that was supposed to be the SEASON finale, not the series. That said, I would expect David Lynch to do something equally fucked up (in all senses of the phrase) if he'd had a chance at a series finale.
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but it occurred to me this morning that, of all shows, "Hallelujah" would have worked.
I mean, *officially* I stand by my position that it's overused and should not be allowed in TV/movies any more. But I think it would have worked last night.

Part of me thinks I would have thrown something at the television at the sound of the first few notes, but part of me thinks you're not wrong.

Oh, I would have made noises of disgust (we watched Shrek Friday night — it was the first time I had seen it — and I was aghast that it used "Hallelujah"), but I still think it would have worked with the tenor of the show.

Heh, I think it was Shrek that started that trend. It's the first time I remember it being used, then it seemed EVERYONE was.
The most egregious use I can think of was in goddamn Watchmen. I actually started laughing loudly enough to annoy the people around me in the movie theater.

Same here. Plus Shrek used the John Cale version which astounded me at the time.

Steph,
I would have laughed out loud if they had used it. I'm glad they didn't.

That was so OTT that I would say it was a deliberate parody, except nothing else in the movie indicated anyone involved with making it had the self-awareness to make that kind of joke.
When Hurley asked Ben to help him with the whole protect-the-glowy-cave mission, and Ben accepted, The Boy said, "And now Hurley's going to whip a Hot Pocket at Ben's head!"
Don't ask me why I just recalled that.
