Yeah Lost was sad. Yeah I cried…..Yeah I thought it was a sweet ending….But I am still really disappointed in the show as a whole. Now that I’ve had a whole 12 hours to think about it…..I just don’t think the story lines that they ran throughout the whole show, MADE any sense together…….
The BEST way to scare an audience, is to take a real life situation that someone could POSSIBLY get in, use logic to confuse them, and then use the same logic to explain everything. That’s why season one was so good. Virtually everyone has to fly, and is afraid of being in a plane crash. The plane crashes, some survive, and there stuck on an island. No one is coming for them. Are they alone?
There…..that’s a good premise……But the second they introduced ‘MAGIC’ into the mix….that’s when it started to go downhill for me…….’Magic’ always ruins things, because it’s not real..It’s a cop out because the viewer then has to understand that the world that they are watching now is totally different than the world that they live in because ‘MAGIC’ doesn’t exist in the real world.
The writers said they knew how it was going to end, from the beginning. If that is the case, couldn’t they have made the story lines fit better? I mean, really? The BEST kind of shows, introduce GLIMPSES of the ending throughout the whole show. So therefore when they get to the ‘final task’ it would make total sense that this was what they were supposed to be doing, from day one.
The first point was to get OFF the island….they did that..
Then they had to go back…which didn’t make any sense to me..but I ran with it…
Then for a season we didn’t know WHAT the hell the point was, because they were now TIME traveling….
Then they get back to present time…and meet up with everyone again.
Then they have to kill The Smoke Monster…
That’s it?!?!!? THAT IS WHAT THE TASKS WERE FOR THE SHOW…….. Random-ass story lines that don’t make any sense when you write them out like that….but we accepted them..
Just seems like a cop-out to me…Almost as much as Jimmy Kimmel’s announcement all week that he had 3 alternate endings on his show..then they just ended up being funny….
I guess it was a good show. It’s nice when things can bring the masses of people together…..and that’s what this did…..but…for me….I will still wait for some show that actually confuses me using logic, and then explains everything using the same logic….or maybe I’ll write it…
