I don't want LOST to end. I just don't. I don't want it to end. I don't. Why does it have to end? Why? It's LOST. LOST doesn't end. Does it? No. Here is what I propose.
LOST does not end. It's the most intriguing series television has ever known. It has no beginning. So therefore, it has no end. What, you thought it all started when Oceanic 815 crashed on an island and Jack opened his eye? No. The forces of good and evil have been at work long before. Maybe since before time began, even. Whether or not the smoke monster gets off the island in the end doesn't much matter. No matter what can happen, he can never die. Jacob and nemesis will fight each other for all eternity. The setting of their epic battle is moot. Whether it is this island or the island of Manhattan. Son of a bitch!
So they tell us LOST is ending on May 23. Don't believe it. LOST will never end. We will not be given every desirable answer and there will always be room for discussion. Yes, some characters' stories will end. And I just know I'm going to end up crying over someone. Goddamnit, it better not be Hurley. Seriously, JJ, if Hurley dies, I'm coming for you. Don't do it. With their demises, we will lose pieces of our selves. But wherever each character's fate takes him, they will ALL be playing their parts. Everyone means something. Everyone matters.
Bring on the final 5 episodes! I eagerly await the culmination of 6 confusing years! What do you think? Will LOST end with a bang or a whimper? Will good conquer evil? Will everything make sense? Will the universes align? Will there be one final "eff you, viewer" where we discover that the alternate universe we have been experiencing all year long is actually OUR universe and WE are the true candidates. WE are part of LOST's neverending story. ... Or will it just end in Black like The Sopranos?
Will we be satisfied???

Well, that pretty sums up how most of us feel. The audience (that being us) are too stubborn for our own good. We have no choice but to be let down. This isn't completely our fault though. We've had six years and way too much time to think about all the possibilities and outcomes. It's possible that the writers have spend some time 'winging it' and maybe even reading blogs such as this. Wondering to themselves, "Shit, did you see SawyerBF815's post?" Probably not. Anyway, be prepared to be let down - but until then just enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteI'll be so sad if we get a Sopranos ending. Or even a Seinfeld ending. I'm going to need resolution, people! If not, I will live the rest of my life wondering what could have been, much as I do with my former loves. *sigh* ... Just kidding. I won't go that far. But I do feel that if this chapter of my TV viewing is going to end, then the end better damn well be satisfying. Or I might just have to give up all non-reality shows. Because at the end of Top Chef or Project Runway, there's always a distinct winner.
