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

I suppose. It just seems like a strange position to take on arguably the most detail-oriented show ever written. nm

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
