Lost

[Minor Axis]

I think with the time travel, a temporarily dead Lock, and a room with a swinging pendulum, and the group trying to get back on the island the bubble just popped on my Lost journey. :confused I'm no longer intrigued and I don't think I care any more. Sad...

Hell man, we've hung in there this long might as well see it through.

 

[dkwrtw]

I've never seen the show before, is it any good?

Well, I'm still recording it but the last episode which I was not paying 100% to, with Sawyer and the lady Doc in a relationship was it 3 years before or 3 years later, totally lost me.

The first 3 seasons were some of the best television I've ever seen, but that's an opinion I'm sure some disagree with.

It was 3 years later to them, but the island drifts through time somehow and it was taking place in 1974. Thats why they were with Dharma people.

I found out today that the guy who plays Benjamin Linus used to teach art at the college I graduated from. Never thought anyone interesting would be assoicated with my college.

I was getting downright bored with it recently, but then Sayid shot young Ben and I'm curious to see where it goes from here.

I don't think Lost will ever recapture my interest like the hold it had on me for the first 3 seasons. I think getting off the island and then going back and time traveling put it over the edge of real enjoyment. Almost like the writers said, ok, what do we do now? But I'm still following along curious to see what happens next.

Something strange is happening, I'm getting back into it. This has to be the most epic tv adventure of all time.

He's dead and alive at the same time!!

I was pleased with the Season finale. Boom!

However, Sawyer, Julia, Kate are on the sub. Kate says we have to stop Jack from setting off the Nuke because all of the people on the island would die. But she did not know about Faraday's theory that setting off the nuke would reset things and they would never have crashed on the island to begin with. Sawyer says hell no. Julia sides with Kate so they go back to the island. Then later Julia changes her mind and decides they must help Jack because she saw how Sawyer looked at Kate and she (Julia) decided that it would be better not to know Sawyer then watch him run off with Kate. Fine. So why did Kate change her mind and decide to help Jack? I musta missed the reason.

And I'm not sold on Jacob. He's this mysterious person but what is his connection to the island? I know- wait until next season!

So... I finally ended up watching the Season 6 finale. Took me a long time to get through the 6 series but I loved it - even Season 6 which seems to have a lot of critics as well as fans.

I have questions... but then again I guess some things could be left unexplained due to the 'mysterious' nature of the series as a whole.

I watched the whole thing for the second time a couple of months ago, as I got the boxset for my birthday, and I feel like I have a much better understanding of what was going on this time the first time through, I thought I got it but now I know I actually do, and it makes sense!


I just love that series though, though I hated Juliet with a passion at first. I can't stand that patronising arched eyebrows look she always had. But later on, when her and Sawyer had built their own life with the Dharma folk and the others suddenly come back into it, I felt so sorry for her. Bloody Kate was always ruining everything, even turning up on the sub when they were meant to be starting their own life together off the island.

I hated the Finale. Imo, they made up an ending originally and then because it was so successful decided to drag it on for a few more seasons, 3 and 4 were pointless, then 5 and 6 were made up to accommodate the new ending. I mean what was the whole point of that Temple? and how come Sayid was brought back from the dead? Why chose him to bring back and not someone else?

 

[Siphorous]

I did dislike Juliet at first but seeing her under Ben's cosh so to speak and realising what she wanted - then I started to feel sorry for her. Felt the same way when Kate kept popping up but I guess it all worked out in the end.

The thing that I loved about the show the most is that despite the mystery and the enjoyment you get out of watching such a show, wondering what's going to happen next - the main thing for me was the characters. The interaction, seeing stories, back history, love lost and found again - it was superb for me.

One of the best highlights for me was the whole story arc involving Desmond and Penny. That reunion on the ship was like a massive release - brought me to tears it did more or less.

Season 6 though was somewhat confusing. Perhaps I missed something but I didn't quite get whether the characters in the present living their happy lives was simultaneous/before/after/alternate universe in terms of events happening on the island.

The temple was supposed to protect people from the man in black (we never did get told his name did we?) - as long as the main Chinese guy was kept safe. That bit wasn't explained (as to why he couldn't be touched) but I guess the temple served a purpose until Sayid did his thing.

I reckon they brought him back because he was best suited to the man in black's goals. His character naturally lent itself easily to evil with Sayid constantly being on the knife edge of good and evil but veering towards good for the most part. Ultimately of course, Sayid redeemed himself in the sub.

I think, they were all dead at that stage (having died at different times but there is no time after you die kind of a thing) I think the "lives" they were living were things that they would have wanted to sort out in their actual lives. Like Jack having a son to act out his father issues, sawyer being a cop instead of a criminal etc etc.
