Lost Finale

[Trip]

Anyone watch it? I thought it was dumb...

[derf]

I just can't believe that the final 5 minutes were so lame and crappy.

[Dave]

wait let me guess. they got rescued by a helicopter only to crash on a completely different uncharted island? lulz ensue?

[Trip]

no, worse

Jack became the new Jacob. Desmond pulled a stone cork out of the island. A light turned off. They killed the smoke monster with one bullet, but not before it stabbed Jack. The island started falling apart. Jack put the stone cork back in. Island stayed safe. Jack dies. Fat ass is the new Jacob. The sideways weird flash is them in purgatory and they all meet in a church after remembering each other and go into the light.

No, and at the end of the island sequences some of them escaped on a plane and presumably survived. The sideways flashes of purgatory were actually sometime in the future, presumably after everyone who remained alive at the end of the island sequences had died later in life.

no, they had a sideways flash theme this season to an alternate reality that was a what if the island was at the bottom of the ocean and no one was impacted by it. It turned out they were already dead in this reality and it was a kinda of purgatory until they all died and met up and reminded each other of their time on the island and then most of them passed over to the other side.

I thought that concept was neat as well. What pissed me off is you never found out the purpose of the island or the egyptian shit there. If it was a cork to prevent the darkness from getting off the island, what about before smoke man came to be before jacob threw him into the hole. There was no darkness there before that... It never really explained shit about the island, it was clusterfuck of randomness with no explanation.

They gave explanations.
Extremely weak explanations.

They took the religion route with the show. While the writers are patting themselves on the back for being "so deep" with the final season the rest of us who were looking for clear explanations are instead told "its metaphor....blah blah blah blah spirtual...blah blah blah blah...." and then told "the meaning will change depending on your perspective blah blah blah".

The island had a lightbulb shoved up its goatse and that shat out the ability for people to get all funky under black lights.

Millenia ago, a crazy security guard lady who lived in the woods found a pregnant illegal immigrant and while tickling the cooch pulled out her babies, one a Nazi and the other thin angry gay man. In order to protect humanities glowing asshole from having to learn spanish she kills the the cleaning lady after the kids pops out and attaches each one to a boob.
Several year later the angry gay one finds out there are other people with penis on the island after taking shrooms and seeing the cleaning lady. He then goes off to have butt sex while the Nazi sticks arounf to breast feed...which he does until the age of 40.

Eventually Nazi man becomes protector of humanities goatse and people from all over end up on the island for various reasons and at one point some egyptian build a statue on the island with a 500 sq ft studio apartment in the basement.


Would you like me to go on?

"The Cork" wasn't there to prevent the darkness (the spirit of Jacob's unnamed brother) from getting off the island, that job was up to Jacob and the candidates. It's obvious that the "cork room" was fashioned by someone, probably the Egyptians or Mayans that visited the island or an even earlier civiliazation. It seemed to me that the whole system of the water and channels and regulator (not a cork, it didn't completely block the hold) and whatnot was created to regulate or harness the earth energy (or spiritual energy) flowing throughout the island.

When Desmond removed the regulator, the energy/power of the island was disrupted/off - this is why not-Locke was vulnerable and why he was "killed with one shot" even though the shot didn't kill him, the fall off the cliff did. I don't see why this is so hard to grasp. But this is all my interpretation.

So how is it better if the writers were to come out and say everything? No matter how many answers you get, you'll still be like a 4 year old asking why the sky is blue and gets and answer and then asks 'why?' again.
