Alias is an example of how to end a show properly. Or the original scrubs JD ending.

yes! Alias is in my top favourite shows of all time purely because it was ended the right way and yeah like Scrubs you said.

You guys actually thought Alias ended the right way? It's been a while but I don't really remember caring about how it ended. I could have been jaded by how things turned out after the second season though

I think all shows that go on for many a season will have times where its utter bilge and not good at all, Lost has certainly had its times where people on this forum will totally agree it was crap...then it got better and went down again.

I think what CC and DL has done well is creating the conversations around the net about Lost, it will be discussed for years and years. I won't thank them for the show because atm I dont think they deserve it just yet not until I really take it in which could take years.

Eh, what? The island was a metaphor? The whole show was just about Jack?

Hey, if that's where we're going, maybe the whole show happened inside Jack's head! He actually died in the first episode of the first season, but the whole show is what he saw as he was dying.

One could interpret it that way too.

Which, to me, makes a lot more sense. Having read so many comments regarding the sideways timelines as metaphors for purgatory, I'm inclined more to the entire Lost scenario being a figment of Jacks dying mind.

this was quite funny....Mark Pellegrino is awesome!

can we make this thread get to 4000 replies?

That video was great! :laugh:

What are we on now?

I think everyone will appreciate the ending more if they watch it in say a few months time.

I think thats what they want you to feel, if you were more concered with the science then you are left feeling empty and like the characters in purgatory have to come to terms with it before you can accept it and move on.

Thats right. It was a character show. If you watched for the characters first, you should be happy. If you watched for the mysteries and the science, you're disappointed because you didn't get enough answers. Heres the thing about the answers though: you would have always wanted more.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this was the only fitting way to end the show.

He was told 'the time you spent with these people was the most important of your life'. So yes, the island was real. Only the FSW were purgatory.

I dont think we should worry Jedi will find some fan videos to post :p

Haha :p Should add up all the posts from the past threads, just to see how many posts have been made on Neowin about Lost. Must be about 10,000 :|

PS - You can also add 'The End' to the list of episodes on the first post!

I should really just replace the first post with the end credits :p and a picture of Vincent

Just these three threads are approaching 10k. I don't know if there are S1,2,3 threads, but there are other lost threads.

I'm still wrapping my mind around all that happened. So much has been left for interpretation, that I almost feel like they could have ended the series at the end of last season, when Juliet hits the bomb and the screen goes to white... and we would have been just as satisfied and our own interpretations would have been discussed. Sure a few questions were answered this season, but so many more were created.

This last episode was very moving and, yes, beautiful as they said it would be. But in the last 10 minutes or so, I sat there with a blank stare, thinking to myself, seriously?! I get it, I do, but it was a total mind-blow... Something I thought was so obvious from day 1, that it just couldn't be how it ended --- everyone dies. Then I'm reminded of Jacob's statement at the end of Season 5... "It all ends the same, everything else is just progress"

One other thing I would have liked to see was Richard reconnecting with his wife in the FSW... but I understand why that didn't happen (it would have totally given away the purgatory-like idea)...

I think its more than 10k.

Check the first post ;)

Didn't they said, they were showing the "Hurley Bird" once again?

They said they would try and answer it's meaning. Something that might be covered in the encyclopaedia.

Sunday?s Lost finale was a ?television event?, but how big a ?ratings event? will it be?

I?d be surprised if it came close to its series viewership highs from past seasons. If that Wikipedia linked chart is correct, its second season premiere was over 23 million viewers. That?s almost twice any episode so far this season.

I wouldn?t be surprised to see its highest viewership and 18-49 ratings for this season, but I don?t think that series highs are in any danger of falling.

For reference, this season?s Lost premiere episode averaged 12.09 million viewers (Live+Same Day), and the most recent Tuesday episode (5/18) averaged 10.47 million viewers

just got done watching it. seems that black folks dont get to go to heaven. :rolleyes: all there but michael and walt. i remember walt was supposed to be this special little boy. the finale left more questions that it answered im afraid.

Rose was there.

Michael is a tortured soul roaming the island and Walt isnt dead.

Walt died eventually, as did everyone else that was still alive when Jack died. There is no time in the flash sideways. Would have been nice to have seen him though.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
