Organized people can be annoying - Dano May 24, 07:18
also, i have to say, i liked the Target ad in the lost finale - tRuMaN May 24, 07:18 3
- commercial spoiler? - JaxSean May 24, 07:18 1
  - i guess i missed that one. -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 07:19

LOST spoiler - nubby May 24, 07:09 1
- Man, the one time I do not throw the 'spoil' word in there. Hopefully, it was a general enough statement not to mess anything up. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 07:13
LYC - in regards to spoils - I was reading a newspaper article about upfronts and they totally spoiled the last season of Dexter - WTF? UGH. - Epiphany May 24, 07:08 3
- I'm honestly surprised it wasn't spoiled for you sooner. - Callisto May 24, 07:12
- Yeah, I still need to watch Season 4 but I know what the big spoiler is at the end. It was inevitable I think. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 07:11
- I'd be tempted to create my own Kill Room if someone did that to me. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 07:09
Out of curiosity, and I haven't seen it yet, but it seemed the consensus when polled yesterday was the finale would be a B or C. Regrade now. -- nm - TFox May 24, 07:03 15
- B+, solid but not as much "whoa" as I expected -- nm - ceregon May 24, 07:50
- A -- nm - Jovian May 24, 07:33
- Are you thinking of Nubby's poll with the multiple choice outcomes? If so, here are his choices again. - Buzz May 24, 07:20
- I'd give it a B+. (nm) - Callisto May 24, 07:14
- A- -- nm - Ender May 24, 07:10
- B for now...I may readjust after some thought. - Mel Profit May 24, 07:09
- Do you really mean a grade, as in how well do people like it? I thought the poll was about the nature of the finale. -- nm - mara May 24, 07:07 5
  - Did I misread a multiple choice poll as people's grades? That would be funny. -- nm - TFox May 24, 07:14 4
    - I thought it was multiple choice and not grades, myself. *shrug* -- nm - mara May 24, 07:21 2
      - heh, it was. i'm dumb sometimes. :) -- nm - TFox May 24, 07:26 1
        
        sometimes? - tRuMaN May 24, 07:32
    - My opinion is that the answer to my poll yesterday is B, but some here will say C. -- nm - nubby May 24, 07:18
- B/B+. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 07:06
- B+ (though over time, and maybe rewatching some of the show) - tRuMaN May 24, 07:04

I have to side with those who say even if you didn't enjoy the finale that shouldn't negate the series as a whole. - HdnAgnda May 24, 06:58 9
- Of course, if the ending itself negates the series....it's open for derision - Will Hunting May 24, 07:08 5
  - I'd say LOST didn't cop out. It was a plausible ending. - JaxSean May 24, 07:17 3
    - So all it had to be was plausible in order to be a good ending? -- nm - mara May 24, 07:22 1
      - No, I just meant that it didn't cop out to be and ending of Jimmy Buffett thinking up a new song and lyrics. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 07:31
    - Like I said, I'm speaking ot the theory here; not the actual event as I didn't see it. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 07:20
  - Buffy toyed with a similar idea as well in one ep. - HdnAgnda May 24, 07:09
- the problem is, is that there was no way to right a series ending that would satisfy everyone - tRuMaN May 24, 07:02
- Over 86 hours of material aired over a six year period. It would be ludicrous to go back and say it all sucked now. Regardless of the ending. -- nm - TFox May 24, 07:02 1
  - Agreed 100%. It was a fun ride regardless. -- nm - MDH May 24, 07:04

Since I missed parts of it last night - amoxy May 24, 06:54 4
- The Jimmy Kimell 'alternate ending' with him was hilarious. - JaxSean May 24, 06:55 3
  - I looked around earlier and couldn't find them. Were they serious endings or just puff? -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 06:58 2
    - All funny. (spoils?) - JaxSean May 24, 07:05 1
      - Funny. Glad it wasn't anything serious however. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 07:10
HFStival is back in DC with full lineup annouced, hello 1990s - MDH May 24, 06:50 2

- That show would be a lot of fun. -- nm - TFox May 24, 06:52

It should be disconcerting that when I have any lateral movement, my leg seems to slip out of joint, no? -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 06:36 1
- That sounds perfectly normal, actually. - Don Homer May 24, 06:37

- word -- nm - TFox May 24, 06:18
- Want to bet? The show was building to a payoff. The payoff was underwhelming. - TWuG May 24, 06:18 36
  - An ending cannot possibly ruin a series. You had fun for years, don't be bitter. - MDH May 24, 06:48 2
    - I was promised a payoff for those 6 years. The payoff didn't come close to satisfying. It was a miniseries ending. -- nm - TWuG May 24, 07:03
    - *boom* -- nm - LOST May 24, 06:49
  - Parts of the show were underwhelming. It shouldn't be a shock that the "payoff" was also. -- nm - Strongbad May 24, 06:43
  - You have high expectations a lot. (lost spoils) - JaxSean May 24, 06:24 30
    - Sequel possibilities... - Mel Profit May 24, 06:37 8

      - But...that's the end. The. End. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 06:27 19
        
        Nope - Will Hunting May 24, 06:38 5
