Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

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 hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Compassionately intolerant

I'd love all the sequels more than the original, I'm afraid.

I didn't NEED it, I just liked it.

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.

The only thing that confused the point for me were the shots of the wreckage over the end credits. However, since none of it was smoking, I assumed it was just the leftover wreckage.

I was scared for a minute there (especially with the shot of the shoe stuck to the tree as Jack walked by) that everything was going to turn out to be his dying fantasy after the plane crash (per Occurrence at Owl Creek, Jacob's Ladder, etc.). Which WOULD have been funny in one way since Jack was originally supposed to die in the first half of the pilot.
