And that's the final thing I'll say in this thread that isn't LOST related.

You know, it occurred to me tonight that you've pulled this same exact shit before, and I found the quote.

You're a whiny little bitch who likes to ask more questions than answer them. I could pull up a bevy of posts you've created over the years slamming the producers and writers of Lost, but all it would do is serve to embarrass you and pull your pants down in front of all to see.

This thread runs deep, and 99% of the people posting here didn't have a ****ing clue. As a matter of fact, most people posting here didn't get the time travel aspect, the non-purgatory aspect, etc.

I find it ****ing laughable that now, those same people, the same people that didn't have a goddamned clue are questioning what I saw for the past six seasons.



The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I hope you enjoy the little bubble you've created for yourself.

Well. There goes...

The only "proof" is that it was shown on network television.

But that in itself isn't enough to convince me that 60 people miraculously landed on a lush tropical island alive after dropping more than 35,000 feet in the air, only to find Egyptian ruins, the Dharma Initiative and a pair of Machiavellian immortals.

Um, you do realize that it's FICTION either way, don't you?

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how strongly you feel that this fictional story all took place in a split second in Jack's mind, it doesn't really matter how many logical fallacies you use to support your position, and it doesn't really matter if you think that anyone who doesn't agree with your interpretation just doesn't get it.

The only thing that really matters is that most people DO feel let down by a shitty end to a great TV show. The writers worked extremely hard over the years to create a very complex mythology, and they flushed it all down the toilet in Season 6. I would have been a lot happier with the show if they had ended it after Season 5 by telling us that Jacob and the MIB were timeless near-deities conducting an experiment about the nature of mankind. When the writers decided to tell the back stories of Jacob and the MIB they made them too ordinary.

Speaking of pants down.



How does it feel, after being here so long, to LIE to everyone about not bashing, and not wanting to express superiority or to insult others? Even a little bit of shame? To feel the urge to LIE about your intentions to try to garner just a little sympathy in your campaign to promote your interpretation of a ****ING TV SHOW?

To forfeit the presumption of straight dealing in all of your interactions on the board over the interpretation of a ****ING TV SHOW?

So there cannot be any separate instances? One in which everyone was on you for demeanor and one where only one person was?




I was expecting an interesting answer to my riddle but alas I'm to be disappointed.

And the whole "not having a clue about purgatory" comes from the producers specifically stating over and over that it wasn't "purgatory".

Interesting read on the evolving culture of tv reviewing, for those interested.

I don't know that "most" people feel let down. Certainly, I've not conducted a survey, but everyone I know in real life was profoundly moved by the end. I'd wager, at worst, the ratio is 50/50. Which Darlton predicted.

Personally, I was terrified that the show was going to tell us that Jacob and MIB were deities. That was the last thing I wanted to see happen. I was thrilled that they ended up just being dudes. Ordinary men in an extraordinary situation. Fallable. It really anchored their story for me, and made the ending much more powerful. Plus if it all been just some experiment about the nature of mankind, it would have really negated the seasons that preceeded it. It would have removed the focus from our losties and their journey. Which, to me, was the thrust of the show. That was the whole point. To remove that from the equation would have left the story impotent, IMO.

I can't imagine why people keep getting the misconception that you're talking down to them.

The nice thing is that we can disagree without resorting to calling each other "whiny little bitches" who "just don't ****ing get it".

Dude.

It was one thing to go after irish but you just bashed pretty much everyone in this thread with that post.

We have all caught things in the show that others have not and vice versa.
