Did you miss the episode where Jacob tells Richard about the cork and the wine? Jacob didn't keep his brother on the island, he was there to keep the cork room safe. His brother couldn't leave because of the island's power. Jacob was there to protect the island.

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
The sideways flash world was not pergoatory. Its a place they created for themselves (why all the Characters's LA-verse lives seemed so perfect) as they waited for everyone else to die in real life. Once all them died in real life they would all move on to the "afterlife" together.

Desmond was Dalai Lama
Hurley was Buddha

Great Series
Weak ass ending.

Its a tradition with all these successful writers. Get an ego trip and then they try and get "deep"

Soprano's
BSG
and now Lost.

So far the best ending to a recent series has been Six Feet under.

Did anyone see Jimmy's alternate endings to lost after the finale?

One of them was a survivor ending, another was the ending to the sopranos, and another was a bob newhart show I didn't recognize but was probably famous.

The sopranos one was funny.

I disagree, there was no timeline tied to real life in the alternate "LA-verse", hence no waiting for everyone to die in real life. Jack was apparently the person they were waiting for before moving on. At the time of his death Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Miles, Rose, Bernard, Desmond, Hurley, and Ben were all still alive yet they were some of the people who were waiting for Jack. If the LA-verse was tied to any kind of time it was waiting for each person's soul to realize it was dead. In real life time it was sometime far in the future presuming one of Hurley's island watching powers was living a long time like Jacob did.

If you haven't watched it yet don't read this cause I'm going to spoil it.

The "flashes" between people when they became aware of "the past" or whatever it was were pretty cool and definitely grabbed me. Pretty much everything else annoyed me. They explained the main gimmick for this season, which turned out to be pretty weak, and called it good. Practically everything else that happened over the last 7 years was just left hanging. Everything that would have happened afterward for the group who got off the island on the plane was left hanging as well. It was better than "The Sopranos" finale, but not by much.

So the season opener with the Island underwater was just way to spend cash on special effects.

I really wanted to know about the egyptian things on the island, that shit always intrigued me. Like the temple and statue. Wish they would of went into more of that origin stuff. The jacob origin was seriously lacking.

They would of ruined it like they did the darma mystique though.

Trip · 05-24-2010, 10:28 AM

Anyway, back to Lost.

Anyway seen anything that might give us a little more info now that it's over?

The reason they left so many plot holes unresolved was because the writers didn't know WTF they were doing anymore, they were just flipping coins to come up with stuff. That's what happens when you don't have it all planned before you start.

It should have only lasted 2-3 seasons, but they wanted to milk it for all it was worth, and that's why it reached a point where it was impossible to wrap up all the mysteries because they had thrown too many of them into it. I'm with Dave, I'm glad I stopped watching a few years ago.
