The End Review

I like this one. Pretty much sums up my feelings, though way smarter than I: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/25/arts/television/25lost.html?adxnnl=1&pagewanted=2&adxnnlx=1274749213-piHo3LyZGfmOQOcxdGJ0fw

blah

Stop being all misty for a moment. Need some info about episode. I think the jerks copped out. Sure I like how they;re all together in another life. I hated Christian's whole cryptic explanation. That sucked. They couldn't have him say one direct thing! And what was with the Desmond take the cap off the light and Jack put it back on thing? Why? What was Desmond's motivation? And why did Ben go from being an instigator to this episode when he was just standing around doing nothing? And the purgatory thing is unsatisfying as well. Like Jack and Juliet were married but they never had any flashes?

The End

LOST was good. I heart LOST.

Yeah ok so the sideways universe was actually a purgatory the whole time and the island was real. Wow. I love it. I got choked up with every reunion, too, Christine. They were all so touching. Small tear.

Was the plane wreckage they showed during the credits the new plane? I think it was. Locke put explosives on it, right? So it probably blew up just after Jack saw it fly by. Killing Lapides, Sawyer, Kate, Claire, and Miles.

Oh oh oh oh oh. I want to watch it again. Love it so much.

Here's something silly for you to view with headphones if you're at work.

I slept on it ...

Here are my thoughts:

The finale was brilliant. I didn't get all the answers I wanted, but what I got was satisfying.

The sideways universe was the road to the afterlife. Time didn't matter here. This "sideways universe" didn't happen in the past or the present. It was all about when the characters were ready to move on toward the light, where they'd be together for all eternity. Some people died sooner than others, while others lived out fulfilling lives.

Michael, perhaps, wasn't with the gang, because he'd told Hurley early on this season that he couldn't move on. His soul was stuck on the island. Walt wasn't there, because he didn't need the gang as much to move on. He led a full life off the island. Lapidus, maybe, wasn't there, because he'd also led a fulfilling life after the island. Nikki and guy whose name I can't remember weren't there, because they didn't play a major role in the others' lives. Sawyer didn't even have a clue who they were when Hurley told him they'd died. Mr. Eko wasn't there because the producers couldn't get him to return to the show. Or maybe it's because he'd made peace with himself back on the island and had already moved on to that happy place. Juliet, Penny, and Desmond were there because, even though they weren't one of the survivors of the plane crash, they were deeply affected by them and deeply affected their lives.

The only character I wished were there was Miles. And maybe Richard, too. Where were they?

How tearjerking was it to see the reunions of our favorite couples? I was so happiest to see Sawyer and Juliet reunite. And Claire and Charlie reunite. And Sayid and Shannon reunite. OK, I cried each time they found each other. It was all beautiful.

I also thought it was fantastic that Ben finally found a purpose in his life when Hurley asked him to be his number 2.

And it was brilliant that the writers made Hurley the new Jacob. How did we not see that coming? There were so many clues. Hurley and Jacob were so similar. Both were such honest guys with good hearts. It was only fitting that Hurley would become the guardian of the island. And there were hints earlier this season (or last season?) when Hurley started taking charge while Jack sat back.

I could go on, but I have to get ready for work!

Questions...And Other Thoughts

Where were Eko, Ana Lucia, the flight attendant, the pilot, pretty-boy Paulo, Nikki, those two kids, Frogurt, Walt, Michael, Vincent, Arzt, and Mars when everyone met in the church?

Why was Juliet with them in the church? She didn't die in the plane. Shouldn't it only have been people who died on the plane who ended up in the church?

And what about the fact that Desmond and Penny did not die, yet they were in the church?

Desmond told Eloise Hawking that he would take Daniel Faraday, but I didn't see him in the church.

OMG

I might need to sleep on this one ...

Any thoughts? Comments? Insight?

I loved it, though. Pass me another tissue, please ...

Time for LOST!!!

Is anyone on right now? I'm watching the recap/documentary now. I'm so excited!!!
P.S. Baby P. is ASLEEP!!!

LOST! LOST! LOST! LOST! LOST!

LOST is ending tomorrow night. Anyone have any special plans? I saw a recipe online for Smoke Monster popcorn, but I kinda like my popcorn plain with butter (mmm ... butter ...) only, not with ground peppercorns and stuff.

After LOST ~ The Future of Our Awesome Blogging Skills

So when LOST is over and we have sufficiently talked about it ad nauseum here, there, and everywhere, I think we should set up a new blog, similar to GBC, as just a place to put our wacky SOLD theories and WR shennanigans.

Or not. Either way.

SOLD

Flash Forward to Sunday ...

I think this list is very good. Pretty much sums up everything I need to know. But let's open the discussion:
What question is burning in your brain that needs to be answered?

http://jezebel.com/5541682/10-questions-lost-needs-to-answer

I'm kind of disappointed ...

Are you?

Discuss ...

Whoa.

OK, so let's recap:

Jacob and Smoke Monster are brothers.

They were born on the island to a woman named Claudia.

Claudia's ship shipwrecked on the island.

Allison Janney kills Claudia after she gives birth to the twins but before she names the Smoke Monster.

She kills Claudia the same way Juliet set off the hydrogen bomb.

She raises Jacob and the Smoke Monster as her own.

Jacob is honest and can't lie. The Smoke Monster can.

Mom leaves the boys a game with black and white stones.

The boys see men. They're scared and run to mom.

Mom takes them to a light.

Audience finds out that one of them must stay there and protect the light, which, if extinguished, would mean the end of all mankind.

Audience gasps. (maybe not)

Allison Janney is scary.

The Smoke Monster can see dead people.

Claudia's shipmates survived on the island.

The Smoke Monster tries to get Jacob to go to the other survivors.

He knows the truth about evil CJ (Janney's character on West Wing).

He vows to leave the island.

Jacob's a mama's boy. He vows to stay with fake-mom-who-killed-real-mom.

Jacob grows up and makes blankets.

Man in Black thinks people are greedy and selfish but stays with them in hopes of getting off the island.

He and Jacob, as adults, play their childhood game.

He has found sites where metal acts weird. He thinks those sites will help him leave the island.

Mama-dearest visits the Man in Black.

The Man in Black reveals his wheel/light system to his mother, but it still leaves audience questioning it.

Mama rams Man in Black against the wall. She seems to like to kill people.

Mom brings Jacob back to the light and puts him in charge of it. She tells him to never go down there. Then she gives him some wine while mumbling something.

Jacob drinks it and promises to protect the place as long as he can after he protests. He has mom issues. Knows he's second best.

But wait. ... The Smoke Monster's not dead! He awakens to find his well is gone, his people are dead. He gets angry.

He returns home and ransacks the place.

Mama returns and finds the childhood game with just one black stone and one white stone remaining. She spends way too much time looking at them.

Man in Black stabs Mommy dearest. She dies. He cries.

Jacob beats him up and throws the Man in Black into the light.

The island starts to shake and the Smoke Monster emerges.

What did Jacob do?

Then he finds his brother's body and carries him back home.

He puts the black and white stones into a pouch, lays the Man in Black beside their mom. Many, many years later, Jack and Kate find their skeletons in the cave, along with the stones.

Audience releases sighs of relief knowing the story behind Adam and Eve.

The end.

What are your thoughts?

WR Losties Roll Call

Is anybody out there? What's going to happen tomorrow?

Everyone Is Gonna Die!!!!

This is my theory now.
I think everyone who exists in both time lines will end up dying in either one time line or the other. That way, there won't be doppelgangers running around everywhere. There will be one of everyone, and everything will be set right. The two time lines will merge to one, and it will probably turn out that the whole experience on the island does not exist in the memories of the characters who are left behind... meaning the last six years of OUR OWN lives were centered around NOTHING! But then again, whatever happened happened...

What are your theories now that we're down to the final three episodes?

Drawing Sawyer

Good Claire Day or Bad Claire Day?

What's behind Claire's move to the dark side? And will she stay there now that she's marooned with UnLocke? Here's one theory:

+

=

Jack's Back

Oh yes he is! After sitting out for a few episodes, we've seen that he wants to be the hero again. And Sawyer was being nice to him too, "Thanks Doc" and all. I like Jack the hero. So what does everyone think will happen in sideways universe once they all get together for an Oceanic Flight 815 reunion at the Hollywood Hilton? Who will be voted best couple? Most likely to succeed? Most improved? Most likely to be consumed by pure evil in smoke form? (What your high school didn't have that category? Mine did. And I dated the guy who smoked his way to the gutter too!--different kind of smoke) Anyway ...

I love when good Locke is among us.

Dead

RIP Jin
RIP Sun
RIP Sayid
RIP Lapides

Sad.

Is it a sign?

In the book I'm proofreading for my new job, I just read this line:

"Don't tell me what I can't do."

Is it a sign? What is it a sign of? That good things will happen tonight on the show? (Good meaning exciting, not good vs. evil good.)
