I was ultimately extremely disappointed. Never has such a good show ended so stupidly. (Keeping in mind I've never watched St. Elsewhere.) They could've gone a different route and it would've been much, much better. And they left so many things unanswered. What a waste.

My wife was also very disappointed in the ending.

I stopped watching after some of them got off the island and decided to go back.
yeah, right.
So let me guess, someome went nuts and killed everyone? lol

The ending left me quite disappointed. I was really getting emotionally into the characters reconnecting/reuniting with each other in the flash-sideways plot, but once the ultimate direction of that plot became clear, it wrecked it all.
The whole "Purgatory Lite" thing was ridiculous. "You all created this place to meet each other again before you moved on." Say what now? It was just another "St. Elsewhere"/"It was all a dream"-style ending. It's been done to death, Hollywood. Let it go already.
Plus it completely throws off making any sense of the show. First off, in this "Purgatory Lite," there were people getting hurt, people dying (when they were already dead), people being pregnant and giving birth, etc.
And if they created this afterlife to meet each other again, what's with bringing in people like Martin Keamy? Did they really want to reunite with him?
-
Your right, that makes no sense.
So how did 6 of them end up going back to civilization?
-
I watched the Pilot and I watched the Series Finale.
So, I was Lost.

SO you basically saw the FINAL DESTINATION movie, heh.

They took Frank's plane (the Ajira one that got them back to the island). The on-island/regular timeline part was actually the best part of the finale. I liked Frank and am glad they didn't kill him off. The guy could fly a plane in for a safe landing after the wings and tail fell off. His humorous cynicism reminds me of myself, too. :-)
-
I was not a fan, and don't think I've ever watched a full episode other than the first one.
I haven't read or heard of anybody that liked the ending....in fact, most seem to be a tad irate.... :uhsure:
-
I watched the first season but never followed up on it. 'Heroes' came out at the same time and I watched that instead, but the f'n writer's strike ruined that show before the first season even ended.
-
I read somewhere, the alternate reality was a glimpse of what they would have been like if the plane never crashed and they arrived to their destination...
but what do I know?

That's what it appeared to be at first, but the finale made it into a stupid "Purgatory Lite" kind of thing.
-
I liked it very much. I felt it was one of the best implementations of A Course In Miracles in a popular format.

I watched this and now I'm more confused than ever.

I went to the IMDB board yesterday looking for a post from a Bad Robot employee a friend sent me the text to but not the link. It is amazing how many people are so pissed off over how a TV show ended. Even if you didn't like the ending, did you have fun at all over the six years? Then what are you complaining about? We have a Marxist as POTUS and a huge oil spill in the gulf that nobody seems to have a handle on and you're pissed off over the ending of a TV show? Seriously?
The cat thing was funny. :rotf:

It retroactively makes the whole 6 years a bunch of crap.

So what you enjoyed two years ago watching the show is null and void? That is just petty. And you're welcome to be petty. But ultimately, it is only an opinion you are so attached to. It is not objective reality.

Ever read a book with a crappy ending? It's like that.

Again, it is you that thinks the ending is crappy. And you could choose to be happy for the time you enjoyed it but you are making a different choice. The choices you are deciding to make have nothing to do with the ending of the show or the six year run.
I do notice people do get a certain kick out of tearing things down, even things they once claimed to enjoy. Maybe it is just human nature. Maybe it is just profound grief that something loved is no more. But all the power still resides with the individual viewer.

That's kind of the point, isn't it?

Actually, they do. When something or someone ends up insulting your intelligence, as Lost ultimately did with that nonsensical, unoriginal ending, it colors everything that came before.

A kick? No, not a kick. People often vent when they feel disappointed or betrayed.

Or something loved wasn't what you thought it was.

If you don't like the ending, since it is all made up anyway, why not just make up your own?
In the old days when people sat around the fire telling stories, when one story teller ended he would challenge the next to tell a better one.
-
I hated the Soprano ending.
I hated the Jerry Seinfeld ending.
Endings usually disappoint. That's life, I suppose.
-
The only finale I remember liking was Newhart. Remember that one? That "it was all a dream" sequence was hilarious.
As for the Lost finale, I'm in a distinct minority. I was a faithful viewer, and I thought the finale was "meh." Not great, not bad. Just "meh."

Someone online will do a "The Way Lost Should Have Ended" video really soon, I'm sure

ST:TNG had an awesome ending.

What, Q's 'Trial of Humanity'?
It was okay, I guess.

I think that was the first 2 episodes. Well, okay Q was involved at the end too, wasn't he? The Enterprise in 3 time era's was kind of cool.
-
The first two episodes was 'Encounter at Farpoint'. I'm not totally sure, but I think the two trial episodes with Q as the judge were related. I'd have to look it up.
-
"All Good Things…" is the final episode of the television series. The episode concludes events of the series' 1987 premiere episode, "Encounter at Farpoint" in which the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, representing all humanity, was tried by Q.

Cuz I don't plagiarize. :-) I've always wanted to write my own story, though. Everybody keeps stealing my ideas before I have them, though.

Should not have used "Democratic" though, just Democrat.
