I just finished watching it - DH downloaded it for me while i was in work and had it ready to go when I got in the door. I haven't been on t'internet ALL DAY.
In any case, I MAY have shouted 'WHAT THE FUCK' at the screen. Also, I totally called Jack being the next Jacob for like 5 minutes and then handing off to Hurley.
I'm still processing, but I'm kind of okay with it. I don't know how okay with it I'll be when I rewatch this season, knowing what's coming. I don't know if it will feel like there's a point to any of it. I don't suppose there has to be, but if I can't enjoy watching it again, does that mean it's bad?
If I need a puff-piece clip show to explain what the hell I've been watching all along...while it may be a nice recap...then I have to think that it's bad television.
I didn't NEED it, I just liked it. I would argue vehemently that Lost is not bad television.

My ongoing opinion that it's one of the best things that's ever been on TV is the main reason I'm disappointed with the finale.
Also, if they're going to make sequels I would like a) The Penny and Desmond show, b) The Hurley and Ben show and c) The Richard getting old show. Please and thanks.
Also the Why the Hell Michael and Walt were too Busy to Turn Up show.
The Richard getting old show.
Otherwise known as Watch Richard Try To Get A Job in The 21st Century show. His resume would be a little thin:
Farmer: 1863-1866
Lackey to protector of magical glowy cave on fucked-up island: 1866-2010
Also the Why the Hell Michael and Walt were too Busy to Turn Up show.
I assumed that Michael was still hanging about the island as a whispering ghost as punishment. Walt was busy still growing another 5 feet.
Lackey to protector of magical glowy cave on fucked-up island: 1866-2010
I think that might be all the qualifications you need to be BatManuel.

Also, Miles and James - they fight crime.
And I still want a wacky sitcom with Sideways Ben and Locke.
I seriously do not understand the number of people who think that the finale said that everyone died in the crash and the Island was Purgatory. I thought it was pretty damn clear that the Island story was real; THAT WAS THE POINT.
P-C I think... I think that those people might be stupid.
I'd love all the sequels more than the original, I'm afraid.

Clearly the dysfunction is with me. I started out thinking that Lost was the cleverest, most interestingly populated show I'd ever seen. Serious love. But, as it went on, I quite literally 'lost the plot.' For a while, my love-glow was so bright that I didn't mind not knowing what was going on (not 'where are we going'...I didn't need to know the outcome in order to enjoy it) but got to the point where I was completely without a clue about what was happening in any given moment. That, plus the grim, just took it off my 'good tv' list.
Much like BSG, for me.
It was lovely to see the various characters meeting their storyline's fruition. Nice glow there, but not enough to jumpstart my withered heart.
