1. Ten Questions That Lost Needs To Resolve in the Series Finale
You know, I have been secretly angry with you guys for awhile for choosing to cover Glee and not Lost on Tuesday nights. This sort-of makes up for it.
To be totally oversharey? I keep trying to write about Lost and I keep failing. I'm REALLY MAD AT IT, and not at all secretly.
I am really happy that in this day and age, that is your definition of "totally oversharey."
Yeah I think I may have lost track of where my boundaries are supposed to be in this day and age a little…
I am REALLY MAD AT IT too and no one at my friend's Tuesday Lost party understands why. I think it started at the end of last season and I haven't cared about it much this season.
This is why:
– I did not mind completely skipping it when it first became a thing, or through the years as it became a thing-that-is-disappointing.
– I totally have enjoyed watching this entire last season, with no prior context (other than, hey, they're crashed on an island!), mocking the dragging-out of the plot and the hokey dramatics while having zero attachment to anything real or imaginary at the core of the show. If the last episode consists of Jack Bauer parachuting in and torturing them all to death, it would be more like "Reservoir Dogs" and less like "Funny Games" to me.
– Generally, I don't watch shows like this because that which is economically necessary to keep mass-media TV afloat is often not-at-all entertaining for me to endure! I mean, what a mistake it would have been to get involved with "Heroes". At least "LOST" gets to have a real ending. (But then again, I learned this the hard way at 14. Guess how?)
OH I KNOW HOW. I'm old enough to remember.
NEVER FORGET.
This is number .5 http://www.theawl.com/2010/02/im-lost
Firefly? Haha, kidding.
Twin Peaks? I was, no joke, like seven when that ended, but when I watched the series a couple years ago the non-ending pretty much broke my heart.
Freaks and Geeks? for an abrupt ending, that one wasn't too bad.
I'm in a happy place with Lost where I basically think it's a steaming pile of crap. So they can do anything and it's cool.
I'm pretty sure that the final episode will have everyone time-skipping to the castings of both Deadwood and The Wire, where they all get jobs, do good work and live happily ever after. This also means that John From Cincinnati NEVER HAPPENED.
All that matters about the Lost finale: will it beat the M*A*S*H series finale numbers?
Geez the one thing that totally disappoints me about you guys, despite my otherwise pretty much unbridled enthusiasm, is your fascination with television. I had hoped you had left that behind at GKR with Richard?
My call. Regrets.
Not a list, but well worth your time: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/05/lost_every_shirtless_moment.html
