It's the start of Jack's decline though. He even believes himself that it was a hallucination and asks for medication. It was the second time he see's Christian in the hospital, the first time he walks past him in the hallway which is why I don't think it could be Smokey as the rest of the staff would recognize him if he was really there. Soon after Jack starts writing prescriptions for himself believing that they're from his father, and asks that his father be brought downstairs. I think it's a clear that any Christian appearance is just part of his delusions.
I'm happy with that explanation. I never got the impression that Jack really thought his father was alive though, I thought he was just joking in a sardonic way. Looks like I may be watching an episode of Lost in a new light yet again. :lol
 
You know i was thinking, the MiB doesnt need a body on the island to look like it he can look like people who have died off the island aswell e.g Isabella to Richard on the black rock.

The reason we assumed this isnt the case is because of christian and locke, but i think the reason he needed lockes body on the island was just because he wanted it to make it look like an amazing revival to everyone else.

Just thought i'd put that out there.
 
Ending my LOST drought. No work tomorrow, slightly intoxicated watching Greatest Hits which will be followed by Through the Looking Glass..
 
Greatest Hits is such a genius episode. I love how all of Charlie's flashbacks symbolize the circumstances around his death.

I miss this show..

I watched the end again and I still can't watch the whole thing without tearing up.

If I think about it for a bit (like, for a good 10 seconds) and start remembering those final minutes, my eyes well up a bit. Still.
 
I'm on the 'horrible ending to a great show' camp.
Loved almost all of it and still can't beleive this is how they decided to end it.

Lots of unanswered stuff, too many assumptions and questions left up to the viewer's interpretation and worst of all, an unsatisfying, severely lacking, terribly confusing ending.

I know. Like, were they dead all along or not? The show really didn't make that clear.

:smug
 
Genunely do not understand how anyone is confused by the ending at all. Christian's explanation was more straightforward than nearly every "answer" in the series.
 
Everyone dies sometime, kiddo.
This is the place you all made for yourselves so that you could find one another.
I'm real, you're real, everything that has ever happened to you is real.

etc etc etc it's pretty fucking clear.

watched the finale again on the fourth, man i cried like 4 times. So good

I would have cried like 5 times if the Sayid/Shannon realization scene didn't suck. That and when the wind machine tossed Sayid's hair I giggled. Thankfully that was the only misstep for me.

I don't consider it confusing, just pointless.

I think the whole alt timeline was a waste of time - they could have easily shoe horned that ending onto a season without the alt timeline and it would have fit almost as good and retained its poignancy
 
the afterlife scenes told their own story, showing us how each of the characters had to remember before they could find each other and thus move on. Desmond was the catalyst in this, because he actually had the ability to go from physical Desmond to afterlife Desmond, which is another reason that I think the power/light of the island, in the context of the show, is what enables everyone to have somewhere to go when they die.

at any rate, the afterlife flash scenes were not pointless to me at all, it was its own story.
 
Vacationing in Europe, now in Prague, I've noticed on the Charles bridge the sketch artists are showing off Josh Holloway pictures. Very weird and I wonder why he's the only Lost star.

When I went to Barcelona last year, the street artists also had Kate, Locke, and some others I can't remember.

Same here. I play the final scene about twice a week, and it never gets old or less memorable.

See, that's where this show has really mixed up what's considered 'clear'.

How did they make a place where they could find one another after death? What is this place? Are the other people real or is this just something for people that were . . . whoever the writers could get? How did Desmond's consciousness travel to and from this 'place' that was not for the living (very different that what he'd done before)?

What I highlighted felt like more of the non-answers that we've gotten so much throughout the show. And, sorry, but you can get away with that early but not at the end.
 
For the record, a cousin of mine that I talked into watching the show and him and his wife were up to the 1st ep of season 4. I asked him what intrigued him more about the show, the mysteries or the characters.

He said the mysteries and added "of course!" to it. Then he just went on and on about all kinds of stuff that has come up. I told him to watch The Constant and then never watch the show again.

This character thing was something that Darlton preached and preached for the last year and a half or so to condition some of us to believe it and minimize the mysteries. If you search your hearts, you'll know this to be true . . .

It didn't.

Buried somewhere in this thread is an interview from 2007 where they were still saying it's about the characters more than the mysteries.

Whether you agree with them or not is up to you, but it's not something they just pulled out of their ass to prepare everyone for the finale; it's something they've been following for years now.

how can you say it isn't about the characters when the biggest episodes, where about them?

I would not ever hang out with Adam Horowitz. If he called me and said he had all the "answers" and that if I came to his house he would give them to me... I would say no and hang up. And then burn that phone.

Seems these are your best options at the moment, my man. NY Times(ABC?) ninjas did a pretty good clean up job.

It's really not that important. :P It's not like you can't find an episode of the show, it's just an interview session.

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

I just want to show my brother! He just finished the series (went through it in about a month). And he adored it.

I saw it in theaters and loved it, then I watched it on YouTube and loved it. Then those pricks had to take it down. I really hope it finds its way to a DVD or something.
 
Who do i have to kill for the S6 soundtrack? I spend my entire day humming and screaming the soundtrack to The End every goddam day. I need the actually music in glorious surround sound. Why must you ABC fuckers still torment me even when the show is over.

Fuck
