I do not care about that answers either. But the whole finale was some lame-ass afternoon soap opera even my grandma wouldn’t bear. Hell, it felt like Oprah wrote the damn script.
As you, my favorite shows are always ones that try to surprise me. But that finale wasn’t surprising at all. In my opinion, it betrayed the whole series concept. I’ve been reading comics my entire life, and I’ve never seen such a crappy way to tie a knot.

PD: And it’s “Namaste”.

That is the exact attitude to have if you want to truly enjoy a series like LOST. As with most worthy endeavors in life, it is about the journey. No other show has sparked my interest more, made me theorize more, or disagree with other’s theories more than LOST. It was a statisfying end to an extremely unique journey where the community of fans following the show truly added to the experience. After all was said and done, they left some of the shows mysteries in the hands (and minds) of the fans. Good call.

Well put, Dan. I’ve been avoiding your blog until I saw the finale, which I just finished. Since I’ve avoided all post discussion I have no idea how people are reacting yet. But I do know that when we’re all sitting playing dominoes in the nursing home we’ll still be talking about this show. And yeah, I held back tears each and every time a character got the memories! Gah, I can’t believe I admitted that.

Hm. Lost.

I haven’t watched the finale yet. My wife and I just watched last weeks ep online last night. Hopefully can get to the finale today…

We’ve watched the whole run. Every episode. I’ve found the show to be interesting, intriguing, curious, heart-wrenching, ludicrous, thoughtful, ridiculous, engaging and dull.

At the end of the day I can’t say that I liked Lost. There were times, like season 3, that I hated it. But, my wife still liked it so I kept watching.

I think my problem is, outside of Desmond, I don’t really like any of the characters. I’m not sad to see their story end. I’m not going to miss them. In fact, at this point, I am just ready to be done with it and move on.

And that’s exactly how I feel after watching the conclusion. All the minutia of this or that, or why doesn’t matter. What a profound and moving experience. I didn’t care that we didn’t get all of the answers. That was an amazing ending for those characters. It’s the next morning and I’m still emotional about it.

Hmmm…I think Jesse is very astute. Reading comics in the 70s/80s/90s was very much like LOST, and you never questioned if the writer was “making it up as they went along” because you knew DAMN WELL they were. That was the point!

I think in the 15 or so years he wrote the X-Men Chris Claremont left a metric ton of plot threads untied. But it never really bothered me, as long as the storylines stayed interesting. Sure, there was the occasional dud issue (Kulan Gath? Really?!?) but I knew that the next issue would probably go back to being a great read. That pretty much sums up my LOST watching experience for the last 6 years, too.

That said, a nice magazine article giving us whatever additional backstory Dalton had would be nice. I didn’t need it in the show itself, but I’m still curious to know if THEY knew the answers…
