Sorry, i thought that post with the link had more in it. Guess i forgot.

About that link, i agree so much with it. Its pretty much how i feel, looking at it from the point of view that the show was about the mystery of this island, and as much as im a character fan, the show was always about the island and the mythology. the writers promised it was mapped out and everything would connect. They lied. I dont call knowing the final shot a plan for a series...

It was just like you said: watch the pilot, a few other episodes sprinkled here and there, watch the finale and you're all set. It was just a movie. Or a mini-series. It all just sucks. I love it how Nations had to plug J. J. Abrams into it saying they used his finale. No sh*t. That's a lame-a*s cop-out too.

As for those who think finales which ties ALL the loose ends should not happe, I kind of agree. I also do not agree that people shouldn't die in finales, even though it does feel lame, I always imagined a bitter, tragic end for this show. Which this kind of wasn't. These people were just cursed and happy-ever-after seemed like a no option. It should have ended with a question, but not a megahuge one, just a tiny little question. And sans New Age preaching, string cues, tugging at heartstrings...

But, watch this (and read this, because of Lindelof: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/05/lost_finale_proves_never_trust.html)

Yeah, once the cork was unplugged, Flocke lost the ability to turn into smoke so MIB's soul was "trapped" in Locke's body. This is one of the things that easiest to understand. LOL

It's just so dumb... Meaning, if it if it robs you of your body and turns you into smoke, but also stops you from jumping into bodies, how on Earth did you jump into another body?

I'm reading The Times, Boston Herald and Guardian reviews and they all seem so indifferent and safe. It's as if no one really gives a damn. Oh, well.

As a viewer, there were so many tragic moments and deaths and made me sad throughout the series, so I for one like happy endings, romance that has happy endings, and I like tugging at heartstrings. It makes me feel good and smile. :)

BTW, you have to fix that link, it doesn't work.

I am sort of proud I was on the right track in my explanation of the alt timeline and when people went in and all that. I have to admit I am sort of bummed now that I know it because I have had the chance since to discuss with people what actually happened on the finale and now I can't take part in the debate because I know the truth, and the debate is half the fun. One person gave me a cool theory that the last scene with the wreckage meant everyone died at point of impact except Jack. Jack did stumble out and Vincent did approach in the pilot but what actually happened is he died as we saw in the finale. They even had a cool Wizard Of Oz theory about why the monster was black smoke: because as Jack lay dying he saw the black smoke from the wreckage and created this whole story to help him die in peace. It was such a cool idea and well thought out I did not have the heart to refer them to the link.

    • He'll probably return when whatever is going on between Marco and Lucas hits the rocks.
    • They even had the same cop investigate the crime lol
    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.
