Case in point, look at what ABC did to the final seasons of Alias... scaled back the Rambaldi stuff and had more "wrapped up in an hour" plotlines. The fact that the same network who made those decisions greenlit this show for as long as they did is pretty impressive. <br /><br />I'm just glad the producers received an "end date" from ABC so they could wrap the show up, rather than just keep creating mystery after unsolved mystery like the X Files did.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167574089837775246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-49143385479566966062010-05-27T23:14:21.512-07:002010-05-27T23:14:21.512-07:00I wonder if we would have had more mythology if JJ...I wonder if we would have had more mythology if JJ Abrams had stuck around? I enjoyed the last three seasons of the show but wonder what could have been if he'd been there to balance out Darlton. Anyone know why he left?<br /><br />I enjoyed the finale, I'm with Joe about things being answered.SHough610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-50101147201966403732010-05-27T10:39:21.619-07:002010-05-27T10:39:21.619-07:00Sorry if this sounds testier than I mean it to, bu...Sorry if this sounds testier than I mean it to, but: we're not dealing with JJ Abrams here.

I echo your verdict though, I spent the finale in Brooklyn with 4 or 500 or people, enjoying the experience and watching this amazing tribute band Previously On Lost, they write music recapping the episodes.<br /> http://www.itsasickness.com/lounge/adam-and-jeff-are-obsessed-lostDudemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-57378743589866970372010-05-27T06:20:21.518-07:002010-05-27T06:20:21.518-07:00tranquilizer dart mixed with whatever number Sidew...<i>tranquilizer dart mixed with whatever number Sideways Charlie was likely to blow into a Sideways Breathalyzer at any given time should've killed him</i><br /><br />I don't know if you can apply logic to purgatory :)Tomhttp://www.tdphillipsjr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-71349899801176473312010-05-27T06:06:34.608-07:002010-05-27T06:06:34.608-07:00Did you catch any of the Lost-themed Target commer...Did you catch any of the Lost-themed Target commercials, Cam? I liked the one where they showed the smoke monster, and then the smoke detector. The keyboard one was pretty clever too. <br /><br />I didn't mind the jumping at each other thing, I thought it looked pretty badass, until they cut to commercial. Had they kept the fight going it wouldn't have been as jarring. <br /><br />So Jack's wounds in the Sideways-verse were a result of Locke's knife. I thought they might be from his appendix being taken out on the island and being banged up when Widmore shelled the island a few weeks ago. <br /><br />Loved how they flipped Juliet's "It worked" on it's side. Actually I loved all the moments where the characters had sudden realizations of the island time. <br /><br />I'm happy with the finale. No, we didn't get EVERY question answered. Darlton said they weren't going to be answering everything, nor would I want them to. I prefer to be able to interpret things for myself, rather than them try to shoe-horn 6 years of answers into the finale.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167574089837775246noreply@blogger.com
