I know I'm two days late, but I just watched the Lost finale. Man, I was disappointed (no spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 19:29 33
- See B1-20. - Nightcrawler May 25, 19:30 32
  - I feel cheated (spoils maybe) - FabioParme May 25, 19:34 31
    - WE WERE OUT OF TIME!! -- nm - Jack Bauer May 25, 20:04
    - What I mean is that we waited six years to find out the island mysteries and in the end NOTHING was answered - FabioParme May 25, 19:49 29
      - I mean, make me angry, make me sad, make me love, make me hate, but don't make me an IDIOT -- nm - FabioParme May 25, 19:51
      - A lot about the island was answered. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 25, 19:49 27
        
        If you can really explain WHAT was really the island, I rest my case - FabioParme May 25, 19:53 26
        
        I doubt it will make you feel any better, but I saw it yesterday and was pretty angry. I'm liking it more after just 1 day already -- nm - Guigue May 25, 19:55 20
        
        I just finished watching 1 hour ago. The star of the show (the island) was forgotten by the creators - FabioParme May 25, 19:57 19
        
        you think? I think the end was mostly about the island. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 20:04 18
        
        The ending was (spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 20:07 17
        
        *spoils* - Ender May 25, 20:10 6
        
        That island half was a POS. Sorry, but that's my opinion. The best show on Earth is still BSG -- nm - FabioParme May 25, 20:15 5
        
        Really? You're fine with BSG's ending but not with Lost's? They're pretty much the same thing. - Ender May 25, 20:18 4
        
        One or two things left unanswered is not a problem. The show's main premisse left unanswered is a BIG problem - FabioParme May 25, 20:20 1
        
        Like I said, they did explain it. - Ender May 25, 20:34
        
        don't mess with some sacred cows, man. -- nm - Mel Profit May 25, 20:19 1
        
        But sacred cows make the most delicious hamburgers! -- nm - Ender May 25, 20:20
        
        true, I don't dispute that. but most of the finale was about the island. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 20:07 9
        
        I just wish they had the balls to explain a bit more of the island - FabioParme May 25, 20:09 8
        
        but they did. give it a few days to ruminate. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 20:11 3
        
        Ultimately I think people's problem with it isn't really that it wasn't explained... *spoils* - Ender May 25, 20:15 2
        
        exactly...it's an interesting division in the audience. -- nm - Mel Profit May 25, 20:20
        
        exactly - Gwaahjo May 25, 20:16
        
        they explained it all clearly in the Jacob flashback episode -- nm - wheezy May 25, 20:09 3
        
        They explained the island? They really did? - FabioParme May 25, 20:12 2
        
        spoils - Gwaahjo May 25, 20:15 1
        
        I was waiting 6 years for a simple answer that never came. Sorry if I'm a bit frustrated - FabioParme May 25, 20:17
        
        the island was - wheezy May 25, 19:54 4
        
        C'mon! (spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 19:59 3
        
        that's what it was. don't say they didn't explain it just because you don't like the explanation -- nm - wheezy May 25, 20:01
        
        Just because you don't believe or understand their explanations doesn't mean they didn't explain it. -- nm - Ender May 25, 20:01 1
        
        It's not that I didn't understood. I don't need everything on black and white. But all in grey is frustrating -- nm - FabioParme May 25, 20:10
personally, i like the idea of rotating the Super Bowl between warm weather/dome sites and open air cities - wheezy May 25, 19:29 3
- They should play them all in Hawaii and be done with it. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 25, 19:30 2
  - the island HUNGERS -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:32

- Blofeld! -- nm - wheezy May 25, 19:25 2
  - *snicker* an entire film of pedestrian atrocities committed against James Bond would be amusing -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:25 1
    - heh. that would be amusing. Like that hillbilly sheriff that followed Moore's Bond around in the 70's. -- nm - Remlik May 25, 19:27

  - Fantastic. -- nm - Will Hunting May 25, 19:35
  - Along these lines... - Inigo May 25, 19:18 2
    - this is funny. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:38
    - the horror. the horror. -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:19
  - Stop proving David and wiggie right. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 19:14
  - This might be your crowning achievement. nm - Dignan May 25, 19:13
  - *golf clap* -- nm - TFox May 25, 19:13
  - nice. -- nm - mafic May 25, 19:13

and topless! -- nm - con_carne May 25, 18:59 2
- Sigh. - con_carne May 25, 19:00 1
  - topless is like ketchup, goes with everything. -- nm - Beaker May 25, 19:02
I may have a new favorite Glee number. -- nm - Dano May 25, 18:57 5
- totally. *totally.* -- nm - miss amanda jones May 25, 19:05 4
  - So with the two recent interpretations are we ready to say that Poker Face is a really good song at its core? -- nm - Dano May 25, 19:13 3
    - Really? I hated that. -- nm - nubby May 25, 19:15 2
      - That's okay. -- nm - Dano May 25, 19:20 1
        
        *big loving hug* - nubby May 25, 19:21
Google's Pac Man logo wasted 121 million dollars worth of employee productivity. - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 18:51 3
- that's actually a staggeringly low amount, considering the number of visitors google gets. -- nm - mafic May 25, 19:10
- CBS news reads SlackerTalk? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 25, 18:53 1
  - the major news networks get their breaking news from Mop -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 18:54

"This smog could choke a skunk." - Steve McGarrett, taking a jab at Los Angeles on a visit. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 18:47
for diggie and TWuG and others who weren't satisfied with the ending: I respect your position. There were many loose ends. - loosilu May 25, 18:46 42
- Kim crystallized it for me earlier today. (Lost and Sopranos finale spoilers) - David May 25, 18:57 2
  - I should add - Dignan May 25, 19:03 1
    - And that's why I am so aggravated by the pointless temple episodes. - David May 25, 19:07
- I suppose. It just seems like a strange position to take on arguably the most detail-oriented show ever written. nm - Dignan May 25, 18:53 18
  - What if the "this means something" scenes in Close Encounters never actually meant anything? - Inigo May 25, 19:02 2
    - if Close Encounters was 82 hours of different clues mushed up in mashed potatoes, maybe. -- nm - TFox May 25, 19:03 1
      - Yup. -- nm - David May 25, 19:08
  - I figured, a long time ago, that the details were there to divert people. - loosilu May 25, 18:57 1
    - I don't think they were meant as a diversion at all. nm - Dignan May 25, 18:58
  - Sometimes you've got to skip the details if you don't want to go crazy or have it make sense. -- nm - the liioulu with the same stuff as earlier May 25, 18:54 12
    - For 5 years we were told the details mattered. The ending said "no, not so much". - TWuG May 25, 18:58 9
      - Hell, Jack said that almost word for word during the finale. "This all matters." - Name Withheld By Request May 25, 19:40 4
        
        the show is a giant inkblot, isn't it? it shows you who you *are* and what you care about. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:41 3
        
        Well, it shows you who's willing to overlook things like plot. ;-) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 25, 19:52 1
        
        to me the plot was good. I get your perspective, I do. but for me I got the resolution I wanted -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:53
        
        so the entire show takes place inside Rorschach's head. (In all seriousness, were that the case, it would simultaneously be awesome and revolting) -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:42
      - Eh, I figured they were lying pretty much the whole time. - the liioulu with the same stuff as earlier May 25, 18:59 3
        
        Name 1 show that would lie like this. - Will Hunting May 25, 19:38 1
        
        House. -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:40
        
        ...why? nm - Dignan May 25, 19:01
    - I...okay. nm - Dignan May 25, 18:57
    - go crazy? Don't mind if I do! -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 18:55
- I'm done trying to talk about it. - nubby May 25, 18:52 12
  - I took my share of lumps on B2. nm - Dignan May 25, 19:00
  - that's what diggie does. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:58 10
    - Oh, come on, he's not doing anything any of the rest don't do. -- nm - David May 25, 19:01 9
      - I'm not bothered at all by diggie's comments. We're talking about the meaning of the show and I think that's the sign - loosilu May 25, 19:03 8
        
        That's why Thomas Kinkade has generated so much talk! -- nm - mara May 25, 19:41 7
        
        I think he's a genius in some sense. He knows what people want and he gives it to them. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:42 5
        
        And it's great art! -- nm - mara May 25, 19:46 2
        
        maybe in a meta sense. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:51
        
        Know what else is great art? -- (link) - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 19:47
        
        I like it because it's pretty. I am not looking for the meaning of life in one of his paintings. It's just pretty. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 19:43 1
        
        it's easy listening music for the eyes. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:52
        
        One of the Masters! -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 19:42
- (you aren't a detail person?!) -- nm - TFox May 25, 18:48 6
  - Lordy, absolutely not. I thought that was obvious. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:22 2
    - i need to introduce you to you sometime. -- nm - TFox May 25, 19:23 1
      - first you'll have to meet me, apparently. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 19:27
  - Yes, she hung a curveball. -- nm - David May 25, 18:59 2
    - have you people never noticed that I constantly get details *wrong*? - loosilu May 25, 19:40
    - *ding* -- nm - Nightcrawler May 25, 19:31
There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought... - David May 25, 18:43 8
- "I think I'm getting the black lung Pop." -- nm - Jovian May 25, 19:12
- "Are you here to tell me how bad a eugoogulizer I am?" -- nm - Reagen May 25, 18:52 2
  - I thought they were going to be reading our eugoogolies. -- nm - Callisto May 25, 18:53 1
    - "Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident." -- nm - Reagen May 25, 18:54
- "Whoa, whoa, easy! How 'bout a "Good afternoon, Derek and Hansel. Thanks for the freak fest last night." nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 18:46
- "Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude," -- nm - Tim May 25, 18:46 1
  - Kim watches this movie about twice a week. -- nm - David May 25, 18:46
- "Whoa, you can read minds?!" -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 18:45
Hot! -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 18:40 3
- Wet! -- nm - CQ May 25, 18:42 2
  - Wild! -- nm - Beaker May 25, 18:43 1
    - Freaky! -- nm - mara May 25, 18:44
