spoiler alert: THE LOST ENDING WAS CRAP
i can't believe i watched that show for six years or whatever. seriously? that was how it ended? with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION FOR WHAT THE ISLAND IS?
i DON'T CARE that they all found each other in an insanely tedious version of heaven. if i wanted to feel better about the fact that we're ALL GONNA DIE, i'd go read some hallmark cards at safeway.
what was that rock that was plugging up the light? who built the freaking temple and that giant statue? what magic did the lady that raised jacob and the smoke monster have? if the smoke monster was powerful enough TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE WORLD if it got off the island, how did the dharma dudes manage to build a silly fence that could trap him? why is it possible to move the ENTIRE island? how did widmore find out about the island and what did he want to do there and why did he die so stupidly?
mere words cannot express my level of disappointment. it was such a massive cop out to end on wishy-washy relationship crap, rather than try to address any of the actual mystery they built within this now-obviously flimsy mythology. and the locke vs. jack fight? puhleeeeeeze. ten seconds of almost rad fighting, ended with locke shot in the back? it was like watching the entire show in digest form: this is gonna be aweso... ooooohhhhhh, nevermind.
i wasn't left intrigued, imagining all the cool possibilities, i'm left annoyed, wishing the writers had felt even an OUNCE of accountability for the narrative and not gone all-in on character development and resolution. lame, lamer, lamest. mega lame. LOST is now the definition of anticlimactic. if you've never watched it, don't start. unless you really wanna just wallow in warm, fuzzy feelings for fictional characters after 120 episodes...
i'll give them this: using the opening shot from the first episode, in reverse, as the final shot was really powerful and it made jack's death meaningful. just about everyone else? WHHHOOOOOOOO CAAAAAAAAAARRRRES....
