I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not that I've seen lately.

We get them..show ends, ads, promos for next week, then next show.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Not in the Boston market. We get promos for next week's show or another show over the end credits, and then straight to the local news.

Oooh! Oooh!

According to Michael Emerson, the forthcoming complete-series DVD will include "a lost scene…12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series." Oh yes.

Art Crawl!!!

ooh, that's excellent.

But only with the complete series? Not with the season 6 dvds?

I guess? Aka "I will look for it on YouTube."

What is even happening?

Xposted with Press:

My recap of the Lost series finale, episode 6-17, "The End" is now up at TWoP. Read, grade, enjoy, remember, let go, namaste, my candy bar's stuck, son of a bitch, I'm dead.

Ugh. My huge recap killed the thread. I hope at least Seska skims the last few pages. I included a non-religious analogy that I hope will help quell your disappointment.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Cindy, on the contrary; reading your recap made me want to watch the episode again, so I bought it from iTunes and watched it today.

And, I must say, when Desmond was pulling the cork out of the pool in the glowy mystical cave, I never once thought tampon, but now I will never be able to NOT think that. Thanks to you.

See -- one person CAN make a difference!

I want to post before I read the recap.

I'm with those in the "emotionally satisfying, intellectually dissatisfying" camp. I pretty much feel like six seasons and I still don't know what the hell the island is all about.

There are so many questions left unanswered, for example, if Jacob and Esau (Samuel?) can't get off the island, how did Jacob get off the island to touch his candidates? Just one question of many.

I would have liked to have seen a discussion on evil as it relates to the island and Smokey. Evil very much exists in the world, so how is it contained? What is the nature of purgatory/flash sideways?

For those who think the island was purgatory, they need to rewatch the pilot (which I did OnDemand after the fanale). I point to Jack. The first day, he's in a suit, and when he runs through the bamboo, we see a white canvass sneaker hanging from a branch. It's clean and fairly new. In the fanale, Jack is in jeans and tee shirt, and the sneaker is still there, but is now dirty and worn. Like it's been hanging there for six years or so.
