If you can really explain WHAT was really the island, I rest my case

Posted by FabioParme May 25 '10, 19:53

They are now saying the show was about the people and not the island. But the question all were asking after the pilot was: "What the hell is the island?".

And they didn't had the balls to explain. It's very convenient to leave an open interpretation. It's also the way out of the cowards.

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

        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

        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
