Season 2 was fantastic and had more solid episodes than any other seasin.Kurtofan said:
Even the crazy Charlie arc made sense at the time because you're trying to figure out if the Island or his drug dependencies were causing the dreams. Plus Locke smacking him around like A BOSS (Did I do it right?) was icing on the cake.
I also like the fact that Charlie was willing to do anything to be accepted again since he was effectively banned for trying to baptize Aaron (NNNOOOOOO!!!!):lol
However, that definitely did not hold up with time.

I don't see much of a problem leaving all of the discussion here. Where does discussion of "the End" really end? If somebody wanted to talk about the ep a week from now, would they have to go to a new thread, or what? Let it be, until Lost-GAF dies down completely (as in, not on the first two pages 24/7 for once) and then a new thread would be appropriate.

If someone wanted to discuss The End, they would just do it in the series thread, rather than eternally bumping an episode thread (this thread). Thats why an overall thread is nice - its a catchall for discussion.
Anybody who wanted to watch and discuss this episode has already done so, lets be real.

Hasn't it still not aired in some countries? The legality of it all!!!Solo said:

I can understand people not liking it and I enjoy reading both well made negative and positive impressions but ugh, a friend on twitter "totally agreed" with a shittastic review where the author just pulls a lot of things out of his ass (like a supposed end to the first season where Christian would talk to Jack and would reveal to him that they're all dead and the island is the purgatory), and says that "nothing of importance" happened between season 2 and 5.

Can someone rehost it? Not showing up.

Basically, yea. Liking it or not has no effect on me, but not understanding it at all is hilarious in a sort of terrible way. LindelCuse jump through hoops to make sure the audience understands that everything mattered in the show, all of the actions meant something, and then somebody can miss a few words at the end and misinterpret the whole thing.:lolFuu said:

Even if you missed a few words it seemed fairly obvious what was happening. I'm really surprised at the amount of people who didn't "get it." It's the same for the rest of the series as well. A lot of people are asking questions about events that I thought had been made clear throughout the years.
Maybe audiences require an exposition heavy conversation to understand everything these days.

Hm. I think Olly Moss has spoiled me for most other LOST-related art/design.

a mass of phermones, hormones and adrenaline just waiting to explode
After needing nearly three full days to digest the final show, here are my thoughts.
My history with LOST came at a time where I was in the early process of losing my Dad. My wife and I had skipped the first season entirely, found nothing out about it, and bought the DVD set which we watched over about 4 days. We were immediately hooked, and during season 2, my Dad passed away. John Locke was a character in whom I saw so much of my Dad, that it almost became overwhelming to continue watching the show, he just was so eerily similar to my Dad. Somehow, then, watching the show weekly almost became like some type of pseudo get together with my now passed father, and I was desperate each week for the series to continue.
As the seasons passed on, seeing Jack evolve into a burgeoning man of faith like Locke, like my Dad, drew me so much closer to him as the show progressed on. This season, finding him completely given over to "faith" caused me great joy, because, since my Dad had passed, my faith had dwindled because, now 5 years later, I'd been so still incapable of overcoming his death.
In watching the final episode, seeing how it all played out, hearing Christian refer to Jack as "Kiddo" the name my Dad always called me, regardless of how old I've gotten. Seeing the redemption for John Locke AND Ben Linus, and the magnificient way in which it was all written to pull it together was so emotionally overpowering to me that I literally, at 46, bawled like a little baby for nearly 30 minutes during and following the church scenes with the Shepards. It was the most, uplifting, hope inspiring thing I've encountered since the passing of my Dad, and has allowed me, for the first time, to feel as though I can manage to find the courage to actually move forward in life, rather than treading with my head just at the water line, as I know I've been doing for the 5 years since my Dad's death.
It broke me down completely, almost as if Lindelof/Cuse had written the ending arc of the show only for me, and my benefit. Literally, for the first time in months and months, the smoke type monster I've felt hovering over my life these past 5 years has dissipated. I'm greatly humbled and deeply appreciative of the impetus to "move on" from my heartbreak and misery of the last 5 years lamenting my Dad's passing.
For me, it was highly refined, powerful storytelling, and it reached me at depths so deeply in me I did not know they were there. I found, incredibly, that something as simple as a television show and my attachment to it, could provide the light with which I can now reach the end of an enormously long and dark tunnel I've been stuck in for 5 years. There is no way I could ever show how much appreciation I have for that....
