It’s just a little bit before the finale starts here on the West Coast… (no spoilers, everyone else!). Soon the tyranny of LOST will be over, and all us Losties can stop fretting and all you non-Losties won’t have to hear about it anymore. Except when you do, because we will want to talk about how sad we are it’s gone or how much the finale sucked. Or whatever.

Anyway, here’s something to get your Lost party rolling:

  3. I don’t watch that fucking TV show, but I have been very excited about all sorts of things in the past, and I don’t see a substantial difference between those things and a TV show Finale. Are you in a constant state of bored torpor, #2?

  12. Thinking more about the finale after sleep, I’m thinking that if Jack had simply remembered after touching Christian’s coffin, and then opened the coffin to finally–FINALLY–finding his father’s body, it would have worked better. They all won: Jack (and Juliet) got them off the Island with Little Boy’s explosion, and they all vow to find everyone else on Ocean 815 and the Island that they can to make them remember as well.

    Cut back to Jack Prime, having won, having saved the Island and everyone, alone and dying when Vincent Prime walks up, and he watches Oceanic 815 fly by as he dies.

    The heaven bit was just… pointless.

  13. @3-Hardly. Bored torpor glues asses to sofas in front of boxes full of made-up shit just so you’ll have some made-up shit to talk about with other bored, torpid individuals tomorrow @ the water-cooler. A little perspective is called-for. Are we so bereft of real, living opportunities to relate to one another that we can afford to indulge in a collective national hissy-fit about the box full of made-up shit?

  14. @13, thank Christ for you, setting everyone straight about their misspent lives, in a comment thread on an obscure blog tied to an alternative newspaper in a backwater, third-tier US city.

  16. @14 – …and thank you for dignifying my remarks with your response.

    @15 – Judging from your comments in other threads it’s evident you’re a big fan of the box full of made-up shit (and all the imagined cultural relevance it affords your budding career as a social critic), so I’ll take your observations with a boulder of salt.

  18. I totally agree with Hot Pussy. Stories are a completely unimportant part of the human experience.

    Writing and acting and directing and film should only be used for documentaries because fiction is a stupid waste of time. No one should ever go to a play. Anyone that ever has is a loser.

    Throw all the fiction books into the ocean. Burn all the Torahs. Scrub the 20000 year old paintings of creation myths from the walls of every neolithic cave!

    Enjoying or learning from stories is a sign of weakness and stupidity! We should all know better.

  21. I’m just making fun of you, Hot Pussy.

    I think you’re just trolling, but I’m curious as to why you’re so hostile to people that enjoy a fun story. Yeah it’s a hundred twenty hours, of TV, but it’s stretched out over 6 years. That’s not a huge time commitment. And it’s a fun show to think about and write about that’s entertaining and has at least a few intellectual layers to consider.

    It’s not like we’re talking about dancing with the stars or a soccer game. Some thought went into this show.
