I thought it was tied off quite nicely, to be honest. Far better than I thought they would do, anyway.


I'm right there with you. The problem with a show like Lost is that the answers to the crazy questions would never be wholly satisfying, so I'm happy that they decided to focus on the destiny/faith/fate thread in the end. Spoilers aside, the way it tied up, though it wasn't necessarily evenly paced, drew a nice line from the beginning through to the end. It could have gone in any number of directions as regards the mythology stuff, but it was all about the people on the island. A lot of the complaints people have come from what they didn't show rather than what they did, which is kind of futile in my mind. At some point it doesn't even matter, except to say that it's an island - a very special island.

So yeah, I liked it a lot. But then again, I also liked the end of Battlestar Galactica, and I know that had a massive backlash. Not all of my questions were answered. And that's fine.

My opinion exactly. Lost's charm came from it being mysterious, despite the fact that answering every single question raised would of been an arduous task. I like how it was left open to interpretation, with the 'answer' still being accessable to everyone.

Did you watch it live? It was too early for me to properly understand all the details, so I watched it a second time this afternoon, ahah.

To be fair, people who describe their experiences in summaries of one word are pretty much useless as a guide to the relative quality of anything.

My M-Tron Pro arrived today. It is so so so awesome. Tomorrow I am writing a terribly clichéd sci-fi theme with it.

Forkboy or Gilder, I remember the other day one of you posted a video of a band, the video was of some guy shooting himself in the head? The band's name started with a K, but I can't quite remember exactly what they were called and my mate's interested. Remember which band it was?

I was quite bored to be honest with you all. I realised how much I needed this forum.
I'm glad we're back up.
