LOST season 6

[Kim Kelly]

I hate it when they play the goofy circus fun times music whenever Hurley is doing something. It's rude!

[Steve of Bloomington]

At least it doesn't do that 'sad trumpet' thing they do on 'The Boondocks' every time Uncle Ruckus appears. They could be doing that everytime the smoke monster appears...

Giacchino IS pretty hacky. Lost would be so much better without a soundtrack (or perhaps a super-minimalist one).

HOWEVER: there is one motif that rocks hard: the delicate piano used for reunions or slow motion--usually, both.
i am looking forward to the last five minutes of the finale because i'm almost certain that gossamer piano will tinkle in with jack's open-mouthed stare-of-realization and poor sweet john locke's rubber smile. it's sappy but i really like it.

they should have come back from the last commercial break and just had kirk cameron playing the role of jack for the rest of the episode.

So it was earth all along, right?
Soylent Green is people?
Darth Vader is Luke's father?
Bruce Willis was dead the whole time?

And that was that.
"They're not dead, we swear."
"They're, uh.... dead, I guess......cough."

My own prediction is that we aren't going to find out anything that we really care about (e.g. why the island can be moved and why the Dharma Initiative gave a shit about it in the first place and what powerful magnetic force lies within it and what that stupid button and symbols were in the hatch), but that the flash sideways will allow for two endings, one happy, one tragic.  For example, one in which Jack and Kate embrace at a wedding alter, and another one where Jack is dead in her arms on the island. Or one in which Jack and Kate end up together and another where Sawyer and Kate end up together leaving the island by sub and Jack decides to stay behind while the island sinks into the ocean.

I'm supposed to be working right now.

Damn! I wasn't too far off!

Just realized that the scene where Driveshaft (with Daniel on the keys) plays for Mrs. Widmore was the most awkward thing I have seen on TV since, like, the 1970's.  It reminded me a lot of when The Doobie Brothers guest starred on What's Happenin'.

As a non-fan who watched the finale with only a rough sense of everything that came before, the biggest unanswered question for me was this: how did Driveshaft become successful?

I feel like I was Touched By An Angel after that finale.

Agreed on the Daniel/Driveshaft incongruous Grammy appearance style jam session. WTF?

[Reeleyes]

At least the Sopranos ending was somewhat artistic, that was crap.

[Sarah]

Yes, it was.  Luckily for me, I had few expectations.  I do wonder about Sun and Jin's baby.  And Walt.  And Peg Bundy.  And Rousseau and her daughter.  And what happened to Alpert, Lapidus, and the Miles, Kate, and Sawyer who were on the plane.  And to Hurley and Ben, now stuck together forever on the island, with Rose and Bernard.  Mostly, though, I wonder whether Lost's creators are Boosh fans, since Hurley's "I've got a bad feeling about this" was straight out of Bollo's mouth.

I liked it pretty well, and the whole season pretty well.

Homages to Star Wars, Wrath of Khan and Lord of the Rings (the whole freaking ending!).

They sure did pack a lot of characters into the finale.  I would have liked more Sawyer (the second most interesting character) and more Ben (by far, far the most interesting character that show produced).

I dunno, a lot of media dreck leaves me cold, but I ended up liking Lost overall.  I lost some interest about season 2.5 and they eventually got me back.  Not bad for a freaking ABC show.

I thought it stunk. If I would have known from the beginning that it was a primetime soap rather than a mystery drama I would have never started to watch. Everybody says, it's all about the characters but the characters and acting never were all that great, only good enough to push along the mystery.... and then they decided the mystery didn't really matter? What a joke.
