To me, that in itself, is an accomplishment.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188460633615049191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-8872368574876928382010-05-25T22:34:34.002-04:002010-05-25T22:34:34.002-04:00Oh, I'm still not sold on the ending. I'm ...Oh, I'm still not sold on the ending. I'm just a bit less pissed off by it. <br /><br />Seeing that video of soooo many questions kind of has me annoyed again because it's clear that the writers didn't have the master plan that was implied. I do think that they knew where they wanted to go with the characters and the overall arc of the story, but it feels unfair to have planted clues that seemed important but went nowhere.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-39551885068250599182010-05-25T21:32:57.260-04:002010-05-25T21:32:57.260-04:00I'm not buying that ending.

I've been reading and enjoying this stuff too, but that episode (and particularly the boring underground parts and that last 15 minutes).<br /><br />I liked the penultimate episode, though. That was more like the real LOST. But that last episode showed that there definitely was never "a grand plan." <br /><br />Can't wait to see what Terry O'Quinn does next, though. He was the best part of that show.teacherninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690406470351639188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-62276551901447837342010-05-25T20:18:03.972-04:002010-05-25T20:18:03.972-04:00Well said.
