#33 – I was under the impression that that was a statue of Sobek, not Anubis. I think it had a crocodile’s head. The details are fuzzy since I never got too involved in the show so I could be wrong.

I watched the ending and felt that it was pretty messy, meaning that if the island timeline was real, then so must the time travel they experienced. It’s a little irritating that they spent the final season and episode showing a “flash sideways” (I hate that term) that was supposed to be their “limbo” life when instead they could have explored time travel more. WTF?

I has been suggested that Desmond was the first to realize what was going on, but this isn’t really true, it was Faraday (the physicist turned pianist). Once he realized he decided to help everyone else remember also.

Anyway, this is a TV show after all. They were going for big ratings for 6 years. The scenery was awesome, the story was intricate enough to keep people interested and they had a few hot chicks running around the island also. There were several shows in this season, including the finale, that were LAME!!!

The ending was a kind of “have your cake and eat it too” situation. As the dual plot lines had the characters both alive and dead, at the same time, but in two separate “realities”. Thus has been the way season six played out. And in the end, even some characters who died seasons ago, were brought back, to “move on”. So which “reality” was a kind of purgatory, and which was something else? One of the many questions that will probably never be adequately answered.

I’d still like to know what Michael Fox’s tattoos mean? We certainly got to see them often enough, that they should have been explained a little.

Now that LOST is over, we’re faced with something even worse. No refuge from Reality TV!! It’s all bad dancing, bad singing, and bad sportsmanship. Just what the world needs more of.

I’ve never watched Lost–ever. From other comments that was a good idea.

Hey! Thanks Gasparrini and spinedoc for explaining the time difference, in the “purgatory” life. And you’re dead right about it. Because for years I’ve theorized that “heaven” existed as a timeless realm. Where past, present, and future, was all the same. So all souls meet there, regardless of when they died. Which is pretty hard to wrap one’s head around understanding non-linear time. But rather wonderful, if you can, even fleetingly.

Personally, I like LOST from episode 1, on. I knew it was going to be special. Just as I knew “Cheers” once would be. Right now, I’m also following “Chuck”. Which has been a fun ride, so far. And looks like they’re notching things up for next season. Like Chuck starts doing his own independent spy work. But that’s a guess, for now. The show is not meant to be a serious spy thriller, like Jason Bourne. But it’s clever and inventive enough to entertain. And that’s what 99% of Tv is about, anyway.

LOST didn’t have to make perfect, consistent sense. Hell, real life rarely does. It was about the characters, and their relationships with each other. And the journey. And how we saw both the good and bad side in each of them. And how they were all redeemed in the end.

Bobbo, JCD, you really have to watch 4 episodes to ‘get’ the show. The end of the 4th episode is when it earns its Emmys. Then after another season or two you start to realize maybe this isn’t that good. Then you are reaching the end point and you keep watching, and hopefully the writers fll the gaps for you.

ascolti says:

The writers chastised and mocked viewers for suggesting that their would be elements of “purgatory” in the show.

It’s not purgatory… it’s “limbo”.

How silly do I feel now?
