why downvote someone for stating an opinion? that is lame. I upvoted this because I also do not get Joanna Newsom. I'm not trying to be mean or make a negative statement about her or her fans. I just don't get her.
i believe it was werttrew who posted the gif of annie's boobs stealing the pen in the open for that episode.
that was the moment i realized community was perfect.

am i the only person on videogum who doesn't give two shits about jenny slate and wishes gabe would stop slagging snl just because they fired his friend?

i would watch that show. Just sayin'.
i didn't need all my answers. i was way more invested in the characters than i was in figuring out how eloise knew how to get back to the island/why widmore was banished/the origins of the original others (that killed the dharma folk)/how and why can the island move through space and time/what was up with walt.... there were a lot of unanswered questions that make me go whaaaaaa? is what i'm saying.
but back to the characters, we can agree to disagree, but i just found the end to be very underwhelming. it left me extremely unfulfilled, from a dramatic standpoint. I don't want all these people to have to be dead for them to be together... that's awful.
if anything, i thought they were leading up to the idea that the detonation of the H bomb sunk the island, which created a wrinkle in time where in one reality, the island never had control over these people, and they went on living their lives. However, in the "light cave" reality, the island still existed, because the smoke monster still needed to be destroyed. Upon the destruction of the smoke monster, the island was no longer needed. So, while everyone in the "light cave" reality (our original reality) could have been killed, i was totally okay with the idea that our characters in the new "wrinkle in time reality" could FEEL IT and remember what they'd been through, and live out the rest of their lives with each other, knowing how lucky they were to be free.
Instead i got some stupid fairy tale heaven church bullshit that made no sense and didn't fit with anything i'd seen for the past six seasons. that's my beef.
It speaks to your gravitas as a troll on our boards that i am judging the merit of my lost hating upon your approval.
you were right, steve winwood. tell your sister... you were right.
was I not watching the same show? the end of this finale was terrible. leaving out all the unanswered questions (of which there were way too many), i still have this big problem:
they're all dead and in non-denominational (but still kind of Christian because this is AMERICA) heaven now? this is a satisfying end to Lost? Everyone dies (sad!) but they all get to be together still (happy!).
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I seriously cannot believe people are trying to talk themselves into "liking" this ending. It was sloppy deus ex machina writing at its worst. the last segment in the church didn't even make sense within the context of the 2.5 hour finale I sat through last night, much less within the context of the entire show I watched for six seasons. I'm supposed to believe that the 90 or so hours of TV that comprised Lost were ALWAYS leading up to that scene?
no way.
wtf, videogum community? are we all going soft in our old age?
i look fwd to hearing the stream on friday, to see if it's better.
am i the only one who immediately thought of the magnetic fields upon hearing the repeated "I don't wanna get over you" on sorrow?
This is so pathetic. Tracy Morgan is sitting there on the couch and he is all like "genius comedy : my mouth :: free breadsticks : Fazoli's" and Jay Leno is just sitting there being all like "Why are people laughing when he is not even telling jokes about Bill Clinton?"
true story: a buddy of mine had a chance to run Jay Leno's vintage Birmingham Small Arms Company Motorcycle off the freeway last week. I still have not forgiving him for failing to rid the world of Jay Leno's smug once and for all.
