Hah, yeah the acting isn't the best. What is awesome, though, is that this is just a fan film.
I'm not sure how this happened, but somehow they got to film on the actual series sets/locations.

No wonder it was so bad. Good thing too because I thought it was a DVD extra.

This blog actually managed to get a few laughs out of me. It's the final season of LOST, as told by someone who didn't even watch earlier seasons beforehand. The way he tries to make sense of it all without the context of the other seasons…just read it.

It's not that hard. Most of the outdoor locations used on LOST are public domain in Hawaii. Even the location used for the Barracks is just an old YMCA camp. The outside of the temple, if I remember correctly, was part of some old tourist's park that's not too hard to get into.

@LUFFY#1:
Thanks for telling me, but luckily I found the episodes streaming on Netflix with no ads! Sweet! I am currently on episode 3 and plan on watching at least 1 episode a day, I have really enjoyed it!
Wait…you mean I don't hafta go to the library and wait five days for a whole season to be shipped?! O___O
-
Netflix had the final season stream-able pretty fast after it aired.
Just wish they'd do the same for the other 3 seasons of Dexter.

@Sniper:

Yep, but I think you need to have the subscription.
And also, I am currently on episode 17 of season 2.

Post here once you finish episode 20.

Oh, and when you've watched the Season 3 finale, please post your reaction.

That's a father's right, damn it!!
Just wait until the finalé…
Haha…A father's right?
I remember that episode. I yelled "WHAT?!" and when I slammed my hands on the bed, my sisters who were watchin' it with me got the rough end, 'cause I slammed my hands on their foot...
It was just so surprising...
-
Yeah, I think Michael's moment is the biggest surprise twist of the series.
The best twists in the series
! were the ones that weren't really planned and were brought on by actors… being actors. The biggest shame is the couple plot threads that stopped short as a result, but I think the series would have largely been the same even if those cast members had stuck around. Also, it introduced a sense of "anything can happen and no one is safe" that kept the show exciting.
! Kind of annoying that it was basically the entire season 2 back plane cast that ended up getting offed, it made their season seem kinda pointless overall. Mr. Eko was the biggest loss, just because he had such a presence and was so interesting, but thats a case of the actor being a total ass.
! The season 3 finale is pretty crazy twist too, and took me by surprise... though I'd had some idea in advance that they got off the island and then go back (the damn dvd boxes give it away!) but I didn't have any idea at that point, obviously. For that reveal alone I really wish I'd been catching the show as it aired... oh well. -
@RobbyBevard:
! but thats a case of the actor being a total ass.
! Yeah, his parents died so he wanted to be written off. What a dick.
-
! Yeah, his parents died so he wanted to be written off. What a dick.
Oh, he out of thousand of actors who stop playing their roles because they get too high mantinance had a good reason!
And I being a lost fan since the begining, is the first time that I hear that AAA had some legitimate reason to leave the show.
-
I'm not sure if my sarcasm came through.
Oh, and most LOST actors had other reasons than becoming too high maintenance. Working on a tropical island far away from home all the time can be psychologically exhausting. Of course that's nothing compared to other jobs but it's still understandable.
! That's why Rousseau's actress wanted to be written off.
-
Where did you hear his parents died? The story's always been that he didn't like Hawaii.
-
http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-11-01-eko-lost_x.htm
That's the only source I could find right now. His parents died in a car accident.
! He kinda did act like an ass when he was offered a part in the series finale. He wanted more money, so as a result he didn't appear in 'The End'. I would've loved to see Eko again.
-
He not only wanted more money to do a cameo in the finale, he wanted SIX TIMES the offered amount. Which was already high.
To show up for a day of work.
And I heard with some of the actresses it was due to DUI.
-
! He still had a good reason to ask for Eko being killed of back in Season 3.
! Oh, and I think Michelle Rodriguez was the one with the DUI. -
About what Robby said:
! I have to agree that the writers handled a lot of the unexpected changes with the cast members leaving very well. With season 2, I was a little disappointed, but it was beyond the writers' control. It's a damn shame that the kid who played Walt had to leave before they could really delve into his character, which was the most disappointing thing for me.
! I mentioned it before, but the other plot that I was eager to see, but sadly went nowhere, was Jack's plan to train the survivor's to fight against the Others after Michael gets captured by them. They mentioned it a few times after that episode, though. Greg said it best when he explained that it was most likely because of Ana Lucia's death.
! Still, a lot of my favorite episodes come from it, especially "The Other 48 Days", "Dave", "Maternity Leave", and "Live Together, Die Alone". -
I just finished season 5 and as much as I have been up and down with this series, I have to say that in like 6 episodes the writers and the actors made me care more about Sawyer and Juliet than almost anybody else. Its amazing how her "death" (I haven't seen season 6 yet so I will leave it in quotes) and Sawyer's reaction was the saddest thing since Charlie's death and they had only been together for less than half a season. When this show gets it right, its damn good.

Spoiler tag that man, you just spoiled some deaths for me. :getlost:
-
We've known of Charlie's death for nearly four years and we've known about Juliet's death for two years.
The series is also over.
Pretty dumb of you to think you could walk into a finished series nearly a year after its completion and expect not to be spoiled over plot points that occurred years ago.
-
And then there's the topic title.
-
Got good points there people. But there is no "general lost thread(Tag spoilers" thread on this board.
-
@LUFFY#1:

Why the hell would there be a spoiler thread, and a non spoiler thread, for a FINISHED series?
You run the risk of spoilers when you look into a finished series. Be that here, or wikipedia, or even the very dvd boxes the show is packed in. Yes, even the DVD BOXES have major spoilers on them, including who makes up the Oceanic Six. On the cover art. And the titles of the boxes give away lots of things too. And the episode titles are pretty spoilery too, considering they don't actually appear on the episode.
If you don't want to risk anything, then… don't look anywhere. Its what I did when I was marathoning the series.
-
The season 3 finale twist is actually on the episode description of the DVD set. =|
-
Wow, that's just… wow.
-

Wow really?
And also just finished episode 9 of season 3. So Jack and Juliet just go back home now? And does Desmod remind anyone else of a "Jesus figure". Maybe it is just the hair and superstition…
-
-
@RobbyBevard:
Yes, thats exactly what happens.
i was saying that in the sense of when they show back up, sorry if you didn't get the message.
-
I finished season 4, and I'm curious…
! How doe the Oceanic Six get back to the island?! Also, when we first saw that coffin, I told my sister "That's Locke, I bet!!" Then I find out about the Oceanic 6 and thought it'd be impossible for it to be Locke…But it is! Then, at the end, when Ben tells Jack that they ALL need to go back, does that mean Desmond, too? When Desmond and Penny were reunited...I giggled...Lastly, What are Juliet and Sawyer gonna do now?!

So, I just finished watching Battlestar Galactica. Not much to do with this thread, but it doesn't have its own, but I thought it was interesting because its also notorious for having a "terribly disappointing cop out ending".
Even though it was note perfect and everything revealed in finale had been in place since the first episode.
For many of the SAME reasons people got upset about the Lost ending.
! From the very start there was a lot of talk of god, prophecies, and a couple invisible characters claiming they were angels. And lo, in the end, it turned out… hey, there's some religion in the sci-fi. Perfectly in the bounds of the show, set up way in advance... and the entire ending was full of character flashbacks, emotion, action scenes, and was generally note perfect... especially considering I wasn't hugely floored by the series along the way, (It was good, but it took 3 seasons to build, and I like B5 better) but the end was great.
Just think its an interesting similarity with expectations and dissapointments, even though the actual resolution is spot on and has a ton of great moments in it.

i agree a 100 percent i think they main reasons people were disappointed with the ending of both shows is that even though the creators of the show were heading in that direction from the start, people failed to pick up on the blatant for shadowing laid down by the creators of the show and thought the showing was heading in a completely different direction. not to mention the fact that people seem to have an odd ad-version to any religion being added into shows
! i for one really liked the ending and them essentially creating a new earth that became our earth was a nice twist .
plus all the religion stuff was there from the beginning with the Baltar and Caprica 6 angles ,the prophesies , starbuck dieing and coming back to life and other stuff sprinkled through out the ending was just natural progression from where the story was headed from the start ,really the only problem i had with the finale was getting rid of there medical technology seemed stupid -
! That's why Rousseau's actress wanted to be written off.
100% Not true. I was at a comic convention during the last season's airing and Mira Furlan had a panel.
She was furious to say the least to find out that her character was to die (as the did not inform her) and felt that she wasn't properly given the time to portray her character to the fullest extent.

Are you serious? I always wanted to watch that show, but the bad reviews of the series finale always turned me off. I don`t like investing in a show when I already know that the ending will be a disappointment. Thats why I stopped watching Heroes. But if this is just similiar to the negative views on the Lost finale, it changes everything, because I was personally completely satisfied with that one.

The main diference that if you don't know that Heroes was crap by season 2 (give it the 3rd one for the strike), then you aren't a very good judge of quality.

Anyone who complains the ending of Battlestar came out of nowhere or was jumping the shark…. was paying no attention to the show whatsoever. Not even like the "controversial and bad" elements were built up subtly, they were major major plot points that got a ton of screentime along the way.
The whole series was a little off to me, because I didn't really like a lot of the characters (the first two seasons were almost pure plot, they didn't start doing real character centric stuff till the third season) and I felt they kept missing opportunities, (More than a few occassions where they'd set something up and I thought "Oh, this will be an interesting shift in the status quo..." but they then resolved it pretty quickly.) but the ending was REALLY strong. Enough to make me go "Okay, so that's why they didn't deal with that before then" and "Yeah okay, that was good payoff, that was worth the four seasons."
i agree a 100 percent i think they main reasons people were disappointed with the ending of both shows is that even though the creators of the show were heading in that direction from the start, people failed to pick up on the blatant for shadowing laid down by the creators of the show and thought the showing was heading in a completely different direction. not to mention the fact that people seem to have an odd ad-version to any religion being added into shows
Yup, exactly. Which is really odd considering… how religious the show was during its whole run. It doesn't bother you for the first 50 episodes but then in the finale it does?
-
People were mostly disappointed with the ending of Lost because it left a lot of questions unanswered. The writers simply didn´t plan ahead, they thought up all these interesting question early into the series but I guess they didn't care to think of any explanations.
For example; what do the numbers mean? Why are they cursed? Where did they come from? Never explained.The writers just shouldn't have introduced new elements to the show without first thinking of some answers to the questions it would raise.
Personally I was content with the ending. It wasn't disappointing for me, but it could've been much better.
-
The numbers were explained… just not directly in the show.
Basicaly they are are the core values of the Valenzitti Equation, a mathematical formula designed to predict the end of humanity.
You can find more information here :
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Numbers
It just would not have fitted with the flow of the story to see that explanation in the show.
-
The numbers weren't cursed, it was Hurley's powers that make him lucky/unlucky.
The numbers were the favorite candidates of Jacob. The most likely to get to the island.
3DS FC: 0516-7666-3837
SW-4128-8032-0729
-
I think Jacob used his powers through the numbers to manipulate Hurley going to the island. So, the numbers themselves didn`t have any curse/magic powers, Jacob used them just for several reasons: 1. He likes numbers.
2. Because of the Dharma Initiative and the Valenzetti Equation, they would ultimately lead to the Island. -
People were mostly disappointed with the ending of Lost because it left a lot of questions unanswered.
Every question you could reasonably expect the show to answer, was answered. A lot of it was subtle and you had to think about it, but pretty much everything was covered. And everything that didn't make it onto the show itself, was explained in podcasts and can be easily found on Lostpedia.
After I marathoned the show I only had a couple minor, really inconsequential questions at the end, (Like where the food drop came from) and about five seconds on google revealed that yes, those things had an answer… and in fact there was a bonus episode on the last dvd that covered that.
The problem lie in the fact that people expected extrapolation to the Nth degree. The question is "How long has weird shit been going on the island?" Then they show you an ancient Egyptian statue, and thus its answered "It's been going on a long time." The problem is when people then start going outside the narrative and THEN ask "Okay, so what were the ancient Egyptians doing there and what was their story?" at which point, you're asking for wikipedia, not a story. (And the answer there is, ancient Egyptians worshipped life and death and they built a lot of crazy shit like the pyramids, and upon finding the soruce of all life, they'd certainly put some dedication up to it.)
Actually, even more than that, the problem is people weren't paying attention and expected a monologue to cover everything. They got to the sixth season and still thought they hadn't answered the question of why there are polar bears on the island, even though that was covered early in season 3.
The writers simply didn´t plan ahead, they thought up all these interesting question early into the series but I guess they didn't care to think of any explanations.
Yes they did. Theres way too much consistent foreshadowing and setup for them not to have planned ahead. A few of the specifics they didn't know, a few things changed because of the actors, and they had some pacing issues (some of it got crammed in near the end as they were running out of episodes,) but they most certainley had a decent broad outline.
For example; what do the numbers mean? Why are they cursed? Where did they come from? Never explained.
They're Jacob's chosen six, and they're also part of the equation of life.
And the numbers were never never cursed an unlucky, that was just Hurley's perception. In fact, he was incredibly LUCKY, time and time again surviving horrible deadly events.
Yes, a meteor crashed into his chicken resteraunt, but two seconds earlier he'd been standing inside it. Same with his house that caught on fire. It was his own perception that ended up cursing them, not the numbers themselves.
-
Finished lost season 3 and started on season 4. Interesting move witht eh flash forwards. I am glad because now I don't have to skip parts of the episode like I did with 2 and 3.(Unless the flashbacks were on the island like Desmods and The Others leader.)
