I know quite a few people going nuts over the This Is Us finale, which is weird for me just because I don't watch it. Better Call Saul is highly anticipated.
What's interesting to me is that Lost was so big culturally but most people have just forgotten that it even existed. Not on TCF of course, but in general.
This thread has a lot of parallels to the show. What happened happened. Now we're all in purgatory, but instead of coming together and moving on to the next stage, we're stuck here bickering forever.
Assuming you mean me, you're missing the point. It's not that someone disagrees with the great ending to Lost. It's that we have to have this argument AGAIN. This thread started in 2010. That means this has to be the *seventh* time (at least) that we have to keep having this fight. I didn't say anything after the first negative post this time - I let a few slide by, but then the pile-on of negativity demanded a reply.
FWIW, I agree with everything you said, and I also share your feelings regarding the ending. It would be nice to not need to rehash the same arguments ad nauseam. I can understand the detractor's side and actually my wife and mother were in that camp, but we had our discussion years ago and agreed to disagree. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but an anniversary is supposed to be for celebration. My wife and I never spent our anniversary *****ing about all the things that went wrong during our wedding. We focused on all the good moments because they were worth remembering.
That's pretty...arrogant. You are allowed to repeat your opinion, no matter how wrong, ad nauseam, but we, who are right, are not allowed to repeat ours.
I'm not trying to be arrogant, but seriously, why keep following a thread about the ending of a show that you didn't enjoy? Of course people aired both opinions when the ending happened. But it's been many years - why hold on to things you didn't enjoy?
I also have to add that in the years since it finished up it's become almost a national past time to crap on the Lost finale and this thread seems to prove it out, for many of us the finale wasn't all we had hoped for, but the last season hit a number of the right notes and we were at peace with the ending being weak because the journey was so strong.
I remember buying all of the Blu-ray discs so that when it was over I could re-watch from the beginning. After the last couple episodes and the finale I sold all the DVDs sight unseen.
By the way, I recently found out that Lost is on Prime, and I've started a re-watch. Only a few episodes in (watched Walkabout last night). Still holds up after all these years. The writing, the music -- perfection.
The music is phenomenal. When I re-watched the show a few years ago with my son, this is the thing that really stood out for me. I honestly don't think the show would have been nearly as good without Michael Giacchino's brilliant score. It gave the show such a unique and palpable feel.
And so another year has passed. Seven years we've been Lost. And while one can debate many aspects of the show--the final season, the mysteries both solved and left open, the flashbacks, flashforwards and sideways--it was a series that inspired passion like few others. I know for me personally there has not been a watercooler show like Lost since.
Totally agree. I'd say the closest show to Lost would be Game of Thrones but that show had limited exposure due to being on HBO and the maturity of it. I remember getting excited to find out someone else was watching that show (Lost) and I had a whole new source of opinions to tap into.
Eight years ago tonight, LOST aired its finale. No show of the modern TV era had more impact. One still sees taglines like "From the producers of Lost" used to promote new shows. Or a scene in Westworld just last week that had people comparing it to the opening scene of S2E1 (Man of Science, Man of Faith). Love it or hate it, it changed the way many of us watched TV.
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the finale of Lost. Coming just days after the one year anniversary of Game of Thrones, both shows that left an indelible mark on TV history, and both with oft-debated endings. Love it, like it, hate it, or some combination of all, there is no denying Lost was a hell of a ride.
Watched episodes 3 & 4 last night. Most of you know 4 is Walkabout. Probably the 5th time watching for me and I noticed something for the first time. When Locke first realizes his paralysis is gone and reaches for his shoe, you can clearly see the sole of the shoe is completely unworn. Cool.
This was when I first came here too. My friend at work always caught so much more stuff on Lost than I did. I asked him how many times he watched each episode, and he finally admitted where it came from and gave me this address.
