Bill Simmons (ESPN) on LOST:"I'm starting to feel like it's the last minute of the Sopranos, only it's happening over the course of 4 months. Spoilers

That's a bit unfair, as I like the sideways stuff they're doing this year, although, if it was just sideways stuff, I'd be pretty pissed.

I can see where he's coming from. But, it's hard to live up to people's expectations for the final season.

They're building to a big temple showdown. I'm hoping it happens over the next 2 episodes and not until the end of the season.

I'm 100% sure that this ending will be better than the Sopranos, because the LOST guys won't make a dickish ending, just to mess with people for bashing the show

The Lost folks have only themselves to blame for one what almost undoubtedly be a disappointing conclusion for most viewers. That said, I like The - Don Homer Feb 26, 10:08 11
- we still enjoy it quite a bit. I want to see it until the end since I tuned in on the pilot. -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 10:11 2
  - Yep. Me too. Lostie from the beginning. Can't wait for the finale ( spoils) - flavorize Feb 26, 10:16 1
    - it surprises me people are always looking for "answers" when they should just enjoy the ride. -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 10:20
- i've rarely been disappointed in the show to this point and doubt i will be disappointed in the conclusion. either people get Lost or they don't -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 10:09 7
  - I've already resigned myself that there is no way they can satisfactorily wrap up the series, and decided to just enjoy the ride. - musubi Feb 26, 10:17 3
    - ayup. - psilotum Feb 26, 10:22
    - it's always been pretty wobbly, it'll stay that way to the end...nm - x Feb 26, 10:18 1

  - No matter how good or bad it is, some people will be upset. It's been a great show so I'm still happy. -- nm - MDH Feb 26, 10:14
  - I enjoy the show for the most part, don't get me wrong. heck, it's one of the few shows I watch. But when each time you provide an answer - Don Homer Feb 26, 10:14 1
    - They can't answer every mystery, let alone in a logical, satisfying way. You're right there. - psilotum Feb 26, 10:16
i wish bil simmons would crash land on a mysterious island adrift somewhere in time....nm - x Feb 26, 10:07 7
- The best thing that ever happened to Simmons is ESPN hiring Reilly and putting links to his stuff right next to Simmons'. - TFox Feb 26, 10:08 6
  - Lol to the IM. Simmons needs an editor; he drones on and writes for 2000 words, at least, per article. 95% is just fluff or junk -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 10:10 5
    - I kind of think he has a generator filled with Karate Kid quotes and "_______ _______ Face" lines and let's it rip at this point. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 10:16 1
      - When he stops Trying So Damn Hard to be hip and make pop culture references (which is very rare) he produces a decent piece. - musubi Feb 26, 10:20
    - Yeah, for me I like that seven or eight pages, even if it's not 100% germaine to the topic. I just enjoy his writing style. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 10:14
    - if they don't edit easterbrook, they aint editing nobody....nm - x Feb 26, 10:11 1
      - fact. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 10:12
