Penny and Des were always a fav couple of mine, as their relationship seemed so tried and true. I'm so glad you love them all like I do!<br /><br />Kristen, I think, in the end, I let my heart govern over my intellect and so none of those questions bothered me at all. I just really wanted to see all those characters achieve their potential. Are there plot holes? Certainly. But I honestly thought they explained a LOT more than most shows would/could. The main point is that all of these lonely, flawed people were summoned to the island to work their stuff out. And hey, none of us are perfect, but we have each other! No one has to "do it alone." And THAT was what I got out of the finale. Cheesy? Yes. True? Yes.Haileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952482356525756638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-83929590860839145602010-05-26T18:17:12.760-06:002010-05-26T18:17:12.760-06:00I would have watched Lost if someone fed me beer a...I would have watched Lost if someone fed me beer and chocolate.Beeswaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418719062005209787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-30252994462994015502010-05-26T17:42:09.091-06:002010-05-26T17:42:09.091-06:00This was a lovely post, Hailey.

It's crazy that the journey has finally come to an end.<br /><br />When Hurley finally made his own luck and broke the curse, starting up the DHARMA van as Three Dog Night's "Shamballa" suddenly played, I felt like cheering.<br /><br />Penny and Desmond's tearful reunion in "The Constant" is just about the most beautiful and romantic scene I've ever seen-- and the fact that you could feel their emotion so strong, even though they were both on the phone with one another was awe-inspiring. <br /><br />I'll also never forget my jaw hitting the floor when Hurley ran, panting, to Jack in season one with the flight manifest explaining that "One of them wasn't on the plane!" as we cut to a evil-eyed Ethan staring down Claire and Charlie. Even now, that was the most stunning plot twist of the series for me (And Lost certainly had some GREAT ones).<br /><br />And the final episode had me in tears about every 30 seconds. Jack saying "See you in another life, brother," and "It has to be you, Hugo;" Hurley's asking Ben for help, and their subsequent conversation in the afterlife ("You were a good number two, Ben," followed by "And you were a great number one, Hugo."); Kate's "I've missed you so much," to Jack; and every frikkin moment when the characters regained their memories had me losing it. Just Charlie saying "Claire" with tears in his eyes as dramatic music swelled was all I needed.<br /><br />And then Vincent laying down with Jack... It couldn't have been more perfect.<br /><br />I think I'm about to tear up some more, so I'd better stop. Thanks for the retrospective, Hailey. :)Trevor Downshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480567072409586073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-62704203199020399832010-05-26T14:12:17.980-06:002010-05-26T14:12:17.980-06:00I get that their sideways world was their purgator...I get that their sideways world was their purgatory/preparatory, but I still don't get what the island was. Why did it matter if Jacob's twin "man in black" was able to get off the island? And why was Jacob's character so pure and his mom's character so wily and evil? If what they were protecting was "godly" then why was she not? How come Claire had a baby in the after world? And you can also murder people? (Sayid) Weird. And what's his name's mom didn't want Desmond to get everyone together. She said that they weren't ready and she was upset that they were going to take her son with them--why would she want to stay in purgatory. I don't know, I guess I am mad that the fact was that "purgatory" and death were even a factor. The story isn't a story about the island at all. It's just a life story and the plots were secondary, but I wasn't looking for a profound afterlife blah blah blah, I was under the assumption that the show was a drama/fantasy/suspense, etc. There were so many things that were irrelevant I thought, and didn't add up in that case. Maybe I am too literal, but to me a lot of things didn't add up. Maybe I need to watch the interview to get the bigger picture??...<br /><br />I still enjoy it as a whole as entertaining but I don't think it was always a carefully crafted plot. You could have missed a couple of season and not skipped a beat. In fact Aaron did; and he didn'tKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244908551583729419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-36369708449520708822010-05-25T21:44:35.286-06:002010-05-25T21:44:35.286-06:00Amen.

Everyone thought that the island was purgatory and they promised it wasn't (and indeed it was NOT), so then they made a brilliant move by having the sideways world be the purgatory. I never saw it coming and I loved it.Haileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952482356525756638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-58156594566396479002010-05-25T19:50:02.862-06:002010-05-25T19:50:02.862-06:00I, too, cried when the flash backs started happeni...I, too, cried when the flash backs started happening...I also felt very sentimental when Edmund asked Kate..."now do you remember?" I feel like I have those moments with people all the time....Like I remember being friends before we came here on earth and that we are put here for a purpose and for each other. I felt like this show has had this weird parallel to our "mormon" life for awhile but didn't really want to admit that it was so close to what I really believe...that is why I struggled at the beg. of this season. It really was a beautiful ending to such a strong stated show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-21823102201715107342010-05-25T18:56:37.070-06:002010-05-25T18:56:37.070-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Haileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952482356525756638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-48447341410870976082010-05-25T18:52:58.314-06:002010-05-25T18:52:58.314-06:00I really liked the last few episodes leading up to...I really liked the last few episodes leading up to the finale and the first part of the finale as well. I am still kinda mad that the tabloids were right all along. That it was a "purgatory". And it wasn't a purgatory per se but a preparatory to entering the after life, but still. Wasn't it you at Christmas that said that you were going to be pissed if in the end you find out they were all dead? Or maybe it was someone else. <br /><br />I am glad you have other memories to warm your memories about Lost, as for me, I am kinda feeling disappointed and ticked about the end. Mainly that the most predictable thing to happen, happened. I still generally loved the series as a whole but I told Aaron when it ended that Lily could write a better ending than that.

I forgot when Topher watched Lost (one million years ago--such a fair weather watcher) and would sing to the creepy violin music! I loved it when Jacob and the cabin creeped you out and so we rewound it for you again and again! Good, good times! I will always remember you taking notes during the interview. That was classic and memorable! And maybe I cried a little at the end because it was great, and maybe it was a little because I love my friends, especially you, and I love the idea (HOPE) of separated friends becoming reunited. . . <br /><br />You're totally going to be in my church at the end of my life when I die and go into the light with Topher. We'll laugh and maybe make up a little song to sing while we go. There are CONSEQUENCES AND COSTS TO FAITH, Hailey!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246546379295509018noreply@blogger.com
