Tonight’s the big night, everybody. After six long years, we’re “finale” watching this show for the “lost” time. *bike horn* *soft shoe* Eh, that’s okay, I welcome your ridicule.
Anyway, I don’t know why you’d want to comment on a blog while watching television, but if you’re so inclined, you can talk about the finale here. Because I expect at least a good 60 minutes of commercials during the 2.5-hour program, I probably won’t start watching on my DVR until about 10:00 p.m. Eastern, but you’re certainly welcome to deluge the comments section with spoilers. In fact, I’d actually appreciate that.
If you’re looking for other “Lost”-related reading/watching on the Internet, io9 compiled a nice list of the best memes, videos, and fan art created for the show; Jimmy Kimmel interviewed executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse; and Holy Taco has your essential “Lost” finale drinking game. As if the show didn’t already make me drink enough.

I have not watched a single episode, but I feel compelled to come here tonight. I suggest CoverItLive. And Whiskey.
BABA BOOEY! BABA BOOEY! HOWARD STERN’S PENIS!
Chocolate
Hmmm … I’m intrigued, but will probably be far too drunk to participate.
Thanks for the spoiler alert, Burnsy.
I can’t believe I’ve made this much money from you fucking idiots!!! Dangle a mystery carrot and the morons will follow. Thanks moron America!!
My experience with LOST is very much like my experience with life itself:
At first it was really cool, and I was all like “This totally rocks, I love it!”
But then a lot of stupid shit happened and it just pissed me off all the time, so I said “Fuck this.” I dropped out and just wanted it to go away.
Eventually I figured “What the hell else do I have to do?” So I got caught up and started watching again, just so I could make fun of it on Twitter and watch everyone else lose their shit over it.
It will end with more questions than answers and a lot of angry swearing from a lot of frustrated people, and I will laugh and laugh and laugh…
And that’s all I have to say about that.
I have a 35 dollar bottle of Scotch that tastes of Vanilla and Cherry notes, and a dog that is shedding all over my couch.* I am ready.
*real, or metaphor for the island? YOU DECIDE
I’m pretty sure that’s a Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper, Farthammer.
The writers of these ” final transmissions” need multiple cockpunches
If those final transmissions were actually real, every three out of four would say “How am I going to yank it to Evangeline Lilly now???”
Not saying that I’m all high and mighty.
Pshhh. Mr. Pibb, motherfucker.
@ Farthammer, do you have real Mr. Pibb or that Pibb xtra abomination?
P.S. I had to edit this because in the original typing, I capitalized Mr. Pibb and not Farthammer, that just felt wrong.
Bernard, Rose and Vincent right off, gonna be a shitload of cameos. Also, Eva Lilly is hot in that tomboy who can pretty up with a lil help makeup-wise but not an all time beauty or even close
Burnsy says:
BABA BOOEY! BABA BOOEY! HOWARD STERN’S PENIS!
you’re the man. i have to say it.
I completely underestimated my booze consumption for this episode, a 4 pack of Guinness draught cans and a 6 pack of natty ice with a handle of Smirnoff…… the beer is almost gone thanks to the 2 hour retrospect thingy, it’s gonna get hazy in a bit
Is Lost new this week?
I have met Miss Lilly in real life. And by “met” I mean I saw her shopping at Union Square.
Hot, but not as hot as you would think a “hot” celebrity would be.
I also saw Steve Young on Friday. Totally hawt.
… but you’re certainly welcome to deluge the comments section with spoilers.
Here are three spoilers.
And I don’t really have Mr. Pibb. I have a bottle of The Balvenie, a surprisingly tasty Scotch.
Don’t click on DG’s link – it’s just a bunch of Gillete Sensor Excel Twins in one picture.
@Farthammer, I highly recommend Glenfiddich 15 year old Solara. I even praise it over Johnnie Blue. Even tho JW blue is something you have to have just to say that you did.
oh and as for spoilers…… Hurley is fat…. and the fact that he is never out of breath makes me think this show is not very realistic
why is it that most redheads are dude-lookin, but after a bit of makeup, they can be fookin fine?
I was happy to have Juliet’s breasts back in my life, if only for a few seconds.
Evangeline Lily is built like a 4’11″ soccer playing linebacker.
Who I want to nail.
will she masturbate while I am nekkid in front of her…… oops, you said soccer linebacker
Spoiler alert: Lost sucks! The rumors are true.
will not argue with you Buddy, but what is good that is not titled ” breaking bad” ?
Whatever you feel comfortable in! Try [useetrading.com] there are a lot of lasting, cute, and affordable there.
Kate: I love you, Jack.
Jack: Enough time for anal?
Hey that one guy got shot with a gatling gun at the end of Young Guns.
THEY ALL DIED.
Looks like essequemodeia watched the last half hour! Great job!
Turns out they were already dead.
I want JJ Abram’s head. I am not happy right now.
No they’re not all dead. what happened it what happened. the alternate timeline is something they collectively created as almost a purgatory till everyone was ready to move on. Benjamin stayed behind to watch after the island and is immortal like jacob, and Miles and the pilot weren’t exactly part of the group.
so if what happened is what happened…time travels real? there were really polar bears on the island?
Not all questions satisfactorily answered, but a beautiful and poetic ending nonetheless. I’ll always love Lost just for Sawyer’s “son of a bitch.” It was a wild ride.
Amazing
still reeling…can someone tell me what happened? break it down like you would for a small child. were they dead from the very beginning or just from when the bomb detonated?
What happened happened. Yes the alternate timeline was a purgatory/Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes type world where they meet and move on (sorry if I spoiled the series ender on Ashes to Ashes) Yeah I wished more questions were answered but damn was it beautiful. I love how Died almost exactally where he was after the 1st crash and how Vincent came up and laid beside him.
I can’t wait to see the alternate endings on Kimmel.
Gotta say well worth the investment watching the whole series at least it was for me, a satisfying wrap up. To sum it up for those that are confused, everything that happened on the island, the oceanic 6 escape and their stories when they went home, the final escape on the plane all happened during their natural lifetimes. The sideways world from season 6 was the characters journeys through Purgatory as they prepared themselves to move on to heaven after they died. Ben was dead just like everyone else in Purgatory, he simply will never be able to “let go”,everyone else’s baggage pales in comparison to his.
God Damnitt, I knew it! Motherf@#king Aliens!!!!!! Uh? Wait, what? Sorry bout that watching the “V” finale on my dvr….
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!
So pretty much the way I think it worked out, everything that happened up to the start of season 6 happened (the hatch, the smoke monster, the time travel, etc…) up until Juliet detonated the bomb. For now we’ll ignore the side-flashes, but they’ll be explained in a moment. So the bomb goes off, the gang gets thrown forward in time, and Juliet dies. The island timeline continues. People die, jack becomes Jacob, not-Locke dies, the plane takes off and Lapedis and Miles and everyone gets off the island.
Jack is severely injured and either dies in the light-hole, or he crawls out and dies with Vincent by his side. Hurley is the new Jack/Jacob, and eventually passes the torch to Ben, and dies. Everyone who has died is dead, and everyone else dies on their own time (Rose and bernard on the island, Desmond on the island, Kate off the island, etc…)
So yeah, as per what Jack’s dad said, everyone has died or died later, implying that the side-flashes all took place in Jack’s head. So sort of like the end of Titanic, everyone is dead, and meeting in the great beyond.
But!
Ben, seeing as he never entered the church, may still be the governor of the island, Or he may be dead and just wants to rock it out without all the other people around.
But yeah, that’s what sounds best to me. Hope it helped!
Jimmy Take it home
I thought it was awesome… couldn’t see it ending any other way really.
Of course, those who hated it are those too bothered by minutiae. Not seeing the forest for the trees so to speak; although I’m looking forward to reading the report after the nerds go through it with a fine tooth comb.
It was great except when they decided to go completely against the nature of the show and get crazy with the expository in the scene with Jack’s dad, Christian. He said they all died and then they showed the wreckage from the plane, implying that they died in the crash of 815 and it was all a test. Great. Thanks. Jerks.
No, Christian wasn’t implying that Oceanic 815 had crashed. The island was real. Every flashforward this season was taking place in the afterlife. That’s after some die, after some make it off, long after everyone is dead. They go into the light in comfort groups. some of the Lostees in purgatory weren’t yet ready, but the main cast members travelled together to heaven.
But the island was real. Piped in from another dimension, the light was the fountain of god/life/death/souls that keeps life on earth spinning. The caretaker of the island was given godlikepowers, such as the ability to set the rules.
So… the island was real and someday they’ll all meet in heaven.
He’s saying that the past is always with us. Where we come from, what we go through, how we go thought it all this shit matters. Like at the end of the book, ya know, boats and tides and all. It’s like you can change up, right, you can say your somebody new, you can give yourself a whole new story. But, what came first is who you really are and what happened before is what really happened. It don’t matter that some fool say he different cuz the things that make you different is what you really do, what u really go through. Like, ya know, all those books in his library. He frontin with all them books, but if you pull one down off the shelf, none of the pages have ever been opened. He got all them books, and he hasn’t read nearly one of them. Gatsby, he was who he was, and he did what he did. And cuz he wasn’t willing to get real with the story, that shit caught up to him. That’s what I think, anyway.
B*lls**t! So, basically, they revealed what was going on with the “alternate timeline” created in the LAST season and pretty much ignored any sort of explanation about anything leading up to the final season. You know, the stuff people are actually curious about. Oh well, I guess I’ll put a cork in it.
bullshit munchers.
wow….i’m glad i never watched the series. sounds like a big F@ck You to the fans.
The whole series was phenominal! Woulda been nice if they had cut out the 119 episodes of filler in the middle though.
They crashed. They died. They went to heaven. I no longer think the writers of lost have any skill.
They crashed. They died. They went to heaven.
Uh, no. They didn’t die in the crash. All the stuff that happened on the island actually happened. It was just the alternate universe that was purgatory, sort of a waiting room for people to sit in until they’d all died in the real universe of the island.
I no longer think the writers of lost have any skill.
Actually, Lindelof makes a mean omelet.
Offensive to both rational thought and the tenets of every major religion.
Well played you bastards, well played.
The truth of the matter is this. Lost was supposed to be a summer only series when it started. When it started I as well as others figured out very quickly they were all dead. But then something happened…called RATINGS. ABC told them “Quick add shit and flush this mother out!!”
Behold seasons filled with cobbled together half assery and vague story telling. Images and shit stolen from many different myths and other shows and you wind up EXACTLY where the original run of the show was going to be…THEY ARE ALL FUCKING DEAD.
Well played you bastards. I wish I could get paid a shit ton of money to write a show of nothing but filler. I’m glad I quit watching this seriously three seasons ago when I realized it was all crap. Two good things came ouf of this. Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn got his career back.
Also, this whole DVD extras will explain is even more lame. You had how many seasons to resolve this? You really had no idea how mesh it together, you just went back to the original idea because you’d thrown so much crap into the blender you couldn’t sort it out.
Argh.
I don’t care, Human Target is coming back and TrueBlood starts next month. Yay.
Got THEIR career back. Asshole.
So did they explain why something as gay as a Smoke Monster was so feared?
Fuckin’ whiners. Did you really think that they could “explain” all the mysteries that were so “great” they kept you coming back year after year, fanatically? Not possible, otherwise you would have lost interest a LONG time ago. And for fuck’s sake, they DIDN”T DIE ON THE GODDAMN PLANE CRASH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW! Fuckin’ retards.
Anyway, the ending was as good as you could expect from a show that went SO MANY different places.
They didn’t answer the biggest question – why is Lapidis’ chest hair staring straight at me?
I have to give props to D for sneaking a Wire quote into the Lost open thread. Well done sir.
Well, i have to say that was magnificent: The D quote. The Lost finale was beautiful television. I’ll leave it there.
Is it just me, or did this episode not answer any real question presented
I’m lost
OH FUCK I MISSED THE LOST FINALE
I thought this rapid-fire montage on YouTube for “Lost” was pretty amusing. I am glad it’s finally over:
