for diggie and TWuG and others who weren't satisfied with the ending: I respect your position. There were many loose ends.

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) May 25 '10, 18:46

I am not a detail person and the details gave me a headache. Thus, I was perfectly happy to throw out the details. For the kind of thinker I am, it was a satisfying ending, in that it gave me emotional resolution.

Responses:

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
