It actually is. Have you ever had the news on in the background, and they go to a break with “What everyday household item in your house will KILL you? Tune in later to find out!” - and it turns out to be some thing that could never happen in most people’s lifetimes?

Nice stretch. Hope you dont pull a hamstring with that stretch.

the bit about only being seen on Kimmel and nowhere else (like on the DVDs, when they come out) should have been a HUGE clue.

yeah, people totally shouldn't have expected it seeing how the freakin cast was on Kimmel. Instead we should just have expected alternate endings on the weather channel instead. Right? gimmie a break

I would expect, if they filmed any extra scenes, or alternate endings, they will be in the box set that will be released this summer. That’s how it works. There’s more money selling that kind of thing, than playing them on Kimmel. Heck, at the very least, they would have bought that last half hour, and showed them as part of the show, a continuation of the wrap up show earlier - they would have gotten enormous ratings and ad revenue for that alone. Or done a show next week, with more interviews with the cast and crew, so the real ending could sink in.

And it was about half the cast. No Kate, no Hurley, no Charlie - even the writers sent in film. If there were real alternate endings, you’d expect the writers to be there to explain them. I’d be mad about that too - they made it sound like everyone would be there.

You can be mad all you want to, but that’s how the TV/film industry operates. They did’nt lie, they had alternate endings. They did’nt say “official”, or “real”, and you and a lot of other people fell for it. Mission accomplished. They get fat bonuses for the ad revenue and ratings Kimmel got tonight (now that I think about it, Kimmel might have failing ratings...). That’s all that matters.

I did’nt invent it, or work in it. Instead of venting at me, vent at ABC, and let them know that because of this stunt, you won’t ever watch their channel, and specifically Jimmy Kimmel, ever again. It would be a lot more productive, and if enough people do that, the slimeballs at ABC might think twice about doing that again.
