- Thread starter Cornballer
- Start date
All finales should be that long
Starting at the halfway point I'm going to want my perception of time to alter.

Heh. Those threads were crazy - just a staggering number of posts.
They're just working their way down the food chain. There's been a ridiculous amount of content this week - some of the stuff that I declined to post has been hilariously bad. I still ran out of characters on the last Granite State content round up.
Why? With the exception of possibly The X-Files and Fringe, I think LOST told one of the most interesting stories I've ever seen in a TV show.

Didn't make it to the WoS this time thanks to a ban. I still don't know if it's a good thing or not

This show really does feel like it's ending precisely when it should. That's pretty rare.

I agree with you but a lot actually think Lost lost it's purpose after season 3-4.
Definitely.
I have hopes that Justified will also end at the right time since Graham Yost has been saying 6 seasons for years now.
Then you have shows like Dexter that should have ended like 4 years ago...
Seems absolutely methodical in the time its been on the air, the journey its taken from pilot to final episode... everything feels absolutely naturally and organically perfect. Which is why its great to hear they made up the fucking thing as they went along.

I think the overall discussion on this show here has remained remarkably good despite its explosion in popularity. There are a lot of thoughtful regulars. Maybe it helps that there is no contingent of "THIS SHOW SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUX"-ers here, and, for those who do criticize, there isn't a lot of defensiveness in response.
Hear hear.
Hear hear.

Yes. This should spread.

As a self-protective measure (i.e. "expect disappointment & you'll be pleasantly surprised") or because you don't think Gilligan's gonna stick the landing?
Oh shit! Very useful for old threads
Great OT for the finale!
Although I am very excited to watch the final episode, I am also oddly content that Breaking Bad has done such a great job so far. I suppose this feeling of desire and satisfaction is what people experienced when viewing Shakespeare's Macbeth for the first time. You know that the final scene of the final act is going to be excellent, but you don't know how excellent.

Yeah. X-Files gets a bad wrap, but I actually think it was pretty solid 1-6. And even Season 8 is pretty good with Doggett. Season 9 was awful, and season 7 was really atrocious. It was the season when David wanted out of the show. You could tell he didn't want to be there, the writers didn't really want to write for him. And all of his plot arcs were quickly rushed to half assed-conclusions.
Plus, X-Files could always get by with really solid monster of the week episodes, whereas LOST was more about the over-arching mythology and character arcs. Then again, I still think that Season 4 and 5 of LOST are actually really solid too as stand alone seasons. What I mean is, I think as just 44 min of entertainment, the episodes in 4 and 5 are generally great. But the main plot had become tired by that point, and was starting to go all over the place. So I'll agree there. And I also understand why it would be fatiguing by that point.
But hell, when you watch a show like Dexter where it goes downhill in a really bad way, and you just see this MASSIVE jump in quality, I think LOST and X-Files in hindsight held up pretty damn well in comparison (again, I mean just as entertainment. Not trying to defend the wonky plot). The problem is, because LOST's mythology and story is so important, I can understand why the conclusion of the story ruined it for some fans.

The ending will suck, there is too much left to be resolved in 1 ep
