Final Thoughts on LOST May 24, 2010

WARNING:  spoiler alert, colorful language

  1. why does the man in black cum locke lose it’s power and becomes mortal whilst jack as jacob still has it? or did he?
  2. dunno if anyone caught this, but the music at the end sounded really similar to the score in the movie ‘peggy sue got married’, a movie that also had emotionally laden time travel.
  3. so, I am so glad that after knowing the end date of the show for 3 years, the writers managed to not explain anything
  4. what the f did Widmore want with this island? What goddamnit?!
  5. in the end, were the numbers really just only numbers?
  6. I needed way more libby. Or at least more than a single shot of libby. Or at least a running end of the show scrolling narrative about how she went from affluent widow to psych hospital patient
  7. what the f are sawyer and kate going to do with their lives? Somehow I don’t see them going for a masters. Sawyer likes to read, so maybe he’ll become a novelist. Maybe kate will become a triathalete.
  8. no explanation of the polar bears or the random horse that everyone saw
  9. so now that Richard wants to live, is he going to grow old and die?
  10. did anyone else cry besides me?
  11. of all the romantic remembrance reunions, I thought the most emotional one was Charlie and Claire, even though I don’t love them. and of course, jin & sun, with the baby, and Juliette. Oh sweet jesus.
  12. I don’t really love that LOST writers cared more about making me cry than answering my questions
  13. does hurley get to leave the island now to cull new candidates? If so, perspective candidates are really lucky
  14. ugh, I think it was too soon to write about this. I keep remembering the last scene of everyone together and tearing up. I don’t think television is for me.
  15. oh and a special thanks to Apple for selecting the last song from 6 feet under to play this morning. really, THANKS

  • wine & cookies! this is a great idea
  • OMG BRAD FROM TEEN WITCH IS THE CO-PILOT AHHHHHHHHHHH.
  • it takes me a half hour to remember someone’s birthday but that i can tell in 2 seconds. awesome.
  • omg sayid was hot when he got off the island. and dang does he know his scotch
  • kate is such a baby stealer
  • hurley and miles are discussing time travel and implications of time. this night just became more important than when i lost my virginity.
  • damn, i didn’t think i’d be so sad to see the baby stealer give the baby back
  • ugh, i hate crying drunk
  • wow, i still don’t like sawyer. come to think of it, i don’t like any of these people. save for hurley, sun, and jin. respectively.
  • just my luck, they’re like barely in these episodes
  • 1970s magical island looks dangerously like 2010 williamsburg
  • sigh, young ben is so precious. ew, wtf am i saying, i hate kids and ben.
  • his eyes are so creepy
  • wow, lose the glasses and he kinda looks and sounds like justin bieber. or do all kids just look the same?
  • omg 1970s charles widmore is so hippy
  • whoa, when you go to google charles wi, charles widmore is  more popular than charles wilson
  • crap. i get more confused when i watch this drunk.
  • ceasar’s accent and nationality are really incongruous. i really hope i used that word right. oh wait, no one reads this! yay bad spelling grammar!
  • ugh, all these episodes are about kids. gross.
  • aww, ben is having feelings. weird.
  • i like john locke better when he’s dead
  • you know what would’ve ruled, if charles widmore was played by charleston heston
  • hmmm. charles widmore looks weird in his 40s/50s. he should only be really young and dashing or really old and sophisticated. does that make me ageist in addition to sexist?
  • i hate women. except sun, she’s cool.
  • this is fun! my life should be a continual loop of me watching Lost and 6 Feet Under
  • hehe. Ben just said ‘mutual friend’. rachel’s gonna be maaaad.
  • ben and his people built a wall around the temple. i am curious as to how they obtained tools and supplies to build such an elaborate piece of fence

  • penny is awesome. she is the only non sun woman on the show that i don’t hate.
  • whoa, that’s what it looks like when people bleed underwater? that’s awesome. OMG, ULTIMATE FIGHTING IN UNDERWATER OCTAGONS. someone remember the brilliance for me. yay interweb!
  • ben is actually really accident prone. how the deuce did he become leader. oh wait, i should know that by now shouldn’t i?
  • OMG INSIDE THE SMOKE MONSTER AHHHH
  • OMG ALEX AHHHH FEELINGS AHHHH
  • wow, alex has great eye makeup in the afterlife
  • hehe, when she’s angry, alex has the same intonation as adam sandler in ‘the wedding singer’
  • ok, my wasted heart has had enough

btdubs – i’ve never watched the show before

  • Matthew Fox should stop flying. it’s just not fair to the rest of the passengers on the plane
  • that guy is talking during the show. that is soooooo not allowed
  • the first rule of Lost night is that you don’t talk during Lost night.
  • the word buoyant is funny
  • people on planes share a lot. no wonder i don’t like flying.
  • makes you wonder, what would you say to someone who just died an hour ago
  • man, if there was a show with like, Lost meets CSI…i would never leave the house again
  • btw, the csi vegas team would’ve figured this out hours ago
  • its really funny when that guy talks about television
  • um. why are they using the song ‘more than a feeling’ in a commercial
  • how in the name of god is that woman alive? she was clutching a bomb
  • when did this show turn into the movie ‘the Mummy’
  • number one sign of bad acting: the in pain sounds are exactly the same as the sex sounds
  • bloody people kissing is totally gross
  • ugh, there are way too many feelings on this show
  • i feel unhappy just looking at these people
  • matthew fox looks like a hot science teacher that you never really understand, but would totally bang anyways
  • i HATE when people call other people ‘boss’
  • wait. she died in an underground mine explosion and both her sneakers are still on? do any of the laws of physics apply? or does just calling it Lost make whatever ok?
  • i wonder if the marketing folks ever thought to use the black smoke for an anti-smoking campaign? something like ‘i got the black smoke pops’.
  • “under the milky way” is in car commercials now? oh good.
  • hold up, no one is in the women’s bathroom after a flight from australia? don’t even get me started.
  • YES, STOP CALLING HIM BOSS
  • figures, a world of guitar cases and no guitars
  • the music on this show is totally stupid. please someone help them.
  • ugh, a magical island and there’s still kids
  • the word coveralls is funny
  • um. when someone says there are risks, wouldn’t the correct response be ‘what are the risks’?
  • damn. everyone on this show has to watch the people they love die like 17 times.
  • ok, i am enjoying the show, but everything they say reminds me why i don’t do yoga
  • where do these people get the guns from?
  • omg, i really want to be there when rachel has kids and tries to explain this show to them
 

‘Lost’ in emotion January 6, 2010

I’ve never watched a single episode of Lost, so I figured this final season would be a good place to start. So here’s a list of ways I envision Lost ending based on what I do know of the show: there was a plane crash, people are lost, it’s meta, there’s a polar bear maybe, sometimes they have curtains, daddy issues, time is bendy

  1. whoops, they were looking at the map upside down the whole time
  2. they are all the illegitimate children of JR Ewing so they went back in time and shot him
  3. the ‘polar bears’ were really just Disney employees in costumes who defected and were in hiding
  4. when that dude said to go right, the chick didn’t know if he meant his right or her right, but was too embarrassed to ask
  5. as children, they all drove their father’s away with their incessant watching of Gilligan’s Island
  6. they are all avatars except the fat nerdy guy who scurries about providing tech support, which is why everyone else is so attractive
  7. the curtains are actually made of the same material as invisibility cloaks
  8. some dude left the island to go get cigarettes and the paper saying they’d come back in ten minutes. and he didn’t.
  9. apparently everyone on the island had walked under a ladder on the day of their flight
  10. you CAN dig a whole in your backyard that goes all the way to china!
