Yeah...I'm pretty tired of having to explain the L O S T ending. For something that was so perfectly clear for me...

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) May 25 '10, 20:20

I'm blown away by the folks that hated it or didn't get it.

Usually, I can see both sides even though I'm strongly on one side. This time...I can't even see it.

The only thing they DIDN'T do is spoonfeed me by showing me the instant the island was created. And I don't need to know that.

You just have to do it until Aug 24th, when the DVD with extra material comes out. Then it all starts over. -- nm - Mop May 25, 20:39
Is it too much to ask for a simple answer about the island? - FabioParme May 25, 20:27 21
- It was as simple as it gets. (spoils) - Jim May 25, 20:33 20
  - A lot of thing doesn't make sense. If I remember correctly (spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 20:48 14
    - Seriously? That's your problem with it? *spoils* - Ender May 25, 21:06 4
      - Again it makes no sense (spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 21:17 3

        This is starting to have a old-school Daneduuk thread feel to it. (nm) - musubi May 25, 21:39
    - And what about (spoils) - FabioParme May 25, 20:59 8
      - Did you want a reasonable, understandable scientific explanation for time travel? Really? - musubi May 25, 21:15 2
        
        That's my main point of the whole discussion. It's too easy to create mysterys and - FabioParme May 25, 21:20 1
        
        Eff those guys in Primer for not explaining how the machine worked. Eff them in the ear. (nm) - musubi May 25, 21:32
      - That would be the "electromagnetic anomaly" portion of things. -- nm - Ender May 25, 21:11 4
        
        So the "electromagnetic anomaly" affected just a few of the Ajira passengers? - FabioParme May 25, 21:22 3
        
        Yeah, that's why it's an anomaly. It acts in an anomalous manner. -- nm - Ender May 25, 21:51 1
        
        If Jacob or anyone said an anomaly caused that, I would be satisfied - FabioParme May 25, 21:54
        
        yes, cause that's what happened. if only there was an electromagnetic expert on the original flight it could have been explained. I don't think having - dogbert May 25, 21:48
  - I'm curious exactly what basic questions he thinks still need to be answered. -- nm - Ender May 25, 20:36 1
    - The only thing I can come up with is, "Why is the island?" - Jim May 25, 20:39
  - WHAT IS THE ISLAND?! -- nm - wheezy May 25, 20:34 2
    - You forgot the fabio p. si :) -- nm - FabioParme May 25, 20:35
    - THE ISLAND IS A HAM SANDWICH! -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 20:35
i honestly thought the sentient smoke monster was created by a combination of gravity, weather systems, and magnetism. - TFox May 25, 20:24 1
- *ahem* ELECTROmagnetism. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense. (nm) - musubi May 25, 20:43
fade to black, roll credits. -- nm - peglegpete May 25, 20:22
