Some humor courtesy of my brother.
We were on IM when I told him I had to go watch the finale. "Hurley devours the island," he predicted.
When I returned, I told him he wrong.
Tonight, he said, "You're a liar, Hurley did eat the island."
"No, he didn't."
His response: "He drank the island, he drank it up."
On the way in to work this morning, a radio station was doing a tribute to Lost, playing songs that were appropriate for each character. The only one I heard was for Locke: "Back in Black."
I laughed my ass off.
ABC says final images of wreckage 'not part of the final story.' They just put them there to ease the transition from the finale to the news. Which makes so much more sense because I didn't know why Cuse and Lindelof would want anything after that perfect final shot.
This comic is pretty funny.
Lost Finale Explained Well! By a writer from Bad Robot.
Now I'm even more glad that I never watch things on an actual tv. My acquired version of the finale ended with the eye close-up. I think I would have been thrown off my anything else.
eta: Wait. Aren't there commercials between a show and the news? Wouldn't that be 'something transitional' enough?
I have to work! But my brain is busy thinking about Lost.
At this moment, about the choices people made in sideways-land. Sawyer and Miles, who were con men, envisioned themselves as cops. Sun and Jin were in love but not married -- Jin never made the deal with Sun's father. Hurley was rich but not cursed. Jack had a son. Locke had a better relationship with his father, on one hand, but also caused a terrible injury to him.
Charlie, still a big druggie. Kate, still a fugitive. Sayid had to save his family by being the type of man he was trying to escape.
No real conclusions here, just a lot of hmmmmm.
I'm finally watching the finale from the beginning, and, OW! I just whacked my head on the end table laughing when Hurley said "I got a bad feeling about this."
Hurley continues to crack me up with his tongue-sticking shooting of Charlie and "This would be so sweet if we weren't about to die", thankfully my head was safe.
Sayid & Shannon, Jin & Sun, Kate, Charlie, & Claire have remembered so far, and it's f***ing beautiful. As a finale, I am so f***ing happy so far.
Wait. Aren't there commercials between a show and the news?
Not that I've seen lately.
