Once upon a time, there was a television show about a bunch of people on an island. For six years it was one of the most fascinating things on TV. And then it ended, in the worst way possible.
Lost ended tonight, and with it the hopes and dreams of millions of people who thought it might finally get good again. SPOILER ALERT: It didn't. What did we learn? Nothing. We learned nothing from two-and-a-half hours of slow-motion [expletive deleted by Mod] backed with a syrupy soundtrack.
Everyone loves to see characters who haven't been around for a while, right? Juliet! Where have you been? Shannon! Long time since you were around, irritating all of us and ruining Sayid. But good to see you, I guess! Rose and Bernard! Nice beard, bro! And Vincent! The goddamn dog! There you are, doing dog stuff. How great is it to get all these characters back? Not very great at all, as it turns out.
Hate to say anything bad about the TV SERIES but it sucked from episode 1!!!!!
Episode 1, season 1.
That was the first and last episode I watched.
I watched Lost with my Lost-addicted girlfriend.
What a freeking snore-fest!
Last episode of 24 should be good based on the teasers.
It was a well-conceived and delivered ending. I suspected they were all dead at that the island was purgatory, and I am not sure I have that right, but the ending was very satisfying to me. I will miss it like no other TV show.
This was a great ending to a great show.
Lost ended tonight, and with it the hopes and dreams of millions of people who thought it might finally get good again.
Um, if it was one of the best things on TV why were millions of people hoping and dreaming that it might finally get good again?
Count me as one of those who gave up somewhere around the beginning of season 2. I just got sick of more garbage being layered on with NO answers to any of the goofy crap that was happening.
Heck, I was embarrassed I had been sucked into this huge shaggy dog story for that long!
There is nothing worse than those broken piano chords that are on EVERY show now.

.No, the chords aren't played on a broken piano. It means the chords are broken up, playing one or two tones, then the rest of the chord is added.
And I guess there is something worse. If Kenny G did the soundtrack.
I think I could come up with a soundtrack for Elizabeth Mitchell...
First 2 hours, 20 minutes were excellent. I don’t know WTF the last 10 minutes were about.
But if it was about what I suspect it may have been about— the it’s completely pointless and WHY DID THEY DEVOTE HALF OF THE FINAL SEASON TO IT???
Spoiler: Lost = Limbo.
Six years for the annoying yuppies to figure out they were dead and in freeking limbo.
They ended up needing an extra half hour to tell the ending they chose. Had Jack started down and Devon looked up and said, “Time to put the stone back, bro?” That would have ended it in a better place and could have been done in two hours. To do that, however, would have also required Sawyer, Kate, and Miles (at least) to die or remain on the island.
I wrote my own ending last week. I’ll stick with it.
Nice photo of Elizabeth. She has a great gig on V going for now.
I figured that out years ago. I stopped watching the show and told my husband they were in purgatory. They did not survive, they are all dead.
Are you sure?
Purgatory? So it was a Catholic show?
