“Lost” Finale Open Thread

Lost Finale with Jack Shepard

If you get this photoshop, you are very, very old (like me!).

Obviously, SPOILER ALERT for comments below.

UPDATE: I think Max Read from Gawker summed it up well (SPOILER ALERT!!!!):

But I expected more from the flash-sideways (I cannot believe they have compelled me to use that word, “flash-sideways,” though I suppose it is technically a “flash-way-the-hell-forward-to-when-everyone-is-dead”). I have taken a creative writing class or two (can you tell?) and do you know this thing they teach you? “Don’t end your story with all your characters being dead.” It is like cheating. It is worse than cheating! It is the wussiest thing a writer can do. And these smug dickheads went ahead and did it.

We are here with TS from Instaputz in the RR HQ for the finale. Corner Creek is in the house, so expect us to have a lot to say about the polar bears and Desmond in the well.

Or, then again, considering that Corner Creek is in the house, this could be our last transmission…

OK, I get the Suzanne Pleshette (RIP honey!) waking up in bed with Bob Newhart, it was all a dream part, but I have no idea who the guy is that you photoshopped in. Maybe because I’ve never watched “Lost”? (And, yes, I’m even older than you. ;-) )

Ahh, good times. I miss Larry, Darrell, and Darrell.

Marin, that’s Jack Shepard, the lead character in Lost. It’s funny because I thought most folks wouldn’t know who Suzanne Pleshette was. I always forget how much older (like me!) the blog reader demo skews.

When I found out this whole series has taken place inside a child’s snow-globe, I just about shit. Fuckers.

Seriously? I’m still well south of 40 and I’d think most people my age remember that, not to mention the Dallas episode it lampoons. Dude, there were three channels then.

We didn’t get the joke, but our parents clued us in as soon as they stopped laughing (or the next day, whichever came first).

Currently watching it here too!

...and yes, I got the Bob Newhart reference too. ;)

yeah, I got it. I’m 52, so I have seen several incarnations of Bob Newhart’s tv shows.

I gave Lost a shot for about two years. Then I gave up on it. I know there are a lot of rabid fans, so I hope they all have a great time and get what they’ve waited so patiently to see.

If Godot shows up, I’ll shit myself.

Has Locke revealed that he’s Jesus yet? I can’t tell from the thread at Ain’tItCoolNews.

Don’t watch Lost, but old enough to get the Newhart reference.

I’ve never watched it either, gimme. But if Jack Bauer doesn’t show up and kill everyone on this show in the next ten minutes, I’m going to force the whole world to watch all eight seasons of Smallville in revenge.

Why Kevin, who on EARTH ia that woman? And what is that odd sculpture behind them—the one with the little circle with the angle indicated on it?
Some sort of pre-Cambrian Mp3 player?
