Did you watch the most important moment in television history ever tonight? Was it shock or schlock? Now that it's all over, I can finally start watching but I'll probably just get the Wikipedia version.
Oh, that headline thing. G4 is reporting that two of the original songs from LOST will be appearing on Rock Band in the very near future. Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" and Geronimo Jackson's "Dharma Lady" are the tunes in question. Neat!
I love it when this kind of media makes its way out into Rock Band. This may not be my show, but just thinking about the songs from shows that I'd want to play makes me both jealous of and happy for all of you.

I did watch Breaking Bad. It was pretty exciting.
Man dont you hate it when flies get in your laboratory !!!
also LOST is absolutely awful.
Both shows had great episodes tonight, though unfortunately for Breaking Bad, the one room two characters bit, aired just 2 weeks after Family Guy did the same thing.
THAT'S MY DTOID!™
I watched it. Loved it.
More than I love the idea of that god-awful driveshaft song. Don't know what the other song is. Also, people still play Rockband?
yeah, the boondocks was very funny as usual.
And I've only seen the first episode of lost, looked pretty good
Someday, I'll watch it all. I'm really excited because everybody I know who watches it LOVES it.
...I'm very tired.
@Masterballs: No, the island is more of a Purgatory/Limbo/Test, hence why Michael is stuck there forever and the Church was the Lobby to Heaven/Afterlife.

******SPOILERS******
No no, just because it sucks.
I loved the ending, but the only thing I really did not like at all is leaving the Man in Black completely open. How/why did he become Smokey? What was his real name? And he kind of just died anti-climatically.
*******SPOILERS******
I found the ending to be wonderful- emotionally. Really Felt resolved, despite not being at all.
The oddities are making me continue to think about it, to parse the information somewhere in my brain in an intelligent manner. Isn't going to happen.
I totally expected Widmore's plan to come up involving Desmond... I doubt it had to do with the light tunnel thingie. What Widmore whispered to Locke, we may never know. >_< I was thinking giant electromagnetic bomb thing that Desmond would have to set off or something...
**********SPOILERS?**********
****MY OPINION SPOILERS****
I quite liked the ending. It felt a bit like Evangelion and Heavy Rain mushed together: the first one because they seemed to drop the actual goings on for a more emotional, human sendoff, and the second because about half the mysteries that appeared in the show didn't matter in the slightest and can be dropped without incidence.
@NINFAN and Discarded
I'm glad to see that I wasn't alone at 5am watching Lost. I think its definitely an interesting way to go, and I really wish that one day, we'll get or tv shows this quick, instead of these awful waits. Thanks for that, Sky.
I'd agree the ending was good, but left questions much like something like Evangelion, but at least it had a better ending than BSG. Overall, I prefer a good show to end with a good bang, and know when its time is up. Many scripted shows don't get that chance. It seems all the good shows are ending at the mo.
****ASHES TO ASHES (and Lost, I suppose) SPOILERS****
At the end of the show, the policemen that made up the cast turn out to be deceased, and all in some kind of limbo like state where they get to see each other for the last time. Then they all go into the light, apart from the main character who still feels like he has stuff to do. A bit like Ben.
****END****
Just something quirky I thought to point out!
PS I thought the finale was great except for the final ten minutes.
Also, Driveshaft sucks.
*spoilers*
The man in black died about an hour in leaving everyone running around for an hour and a half doing nothing really. That's your big ending? Pulling a magical cork in the middle of the island then plugging it back up again followed by an hour of everyone meeting up again? REALLY? No explanation of the numbers, or what the island is to begin with. I don't care about Jacob's backstory. I cared about why the island had it's powers, why everything seemed Egyptian, who built that Anubis statue?
But no. Instead of making something genuinely interesting they instead decided to please all the "fans" by wasting 2 hours making all the characters happy again. I use that term loosely because I doubt the true people who loved lost were satisfied with the conclusion. They stripped away the meaning of every character death by just going "It's ok guys, they're happy!".
Charlie's death had meaning. It was pretty much the big moment of season 3 and to just bring him back as a drug addict in the afterlife is just... It screams sloppy fanboy writing to please people who care more about the characters being alive than the quality of the show.
I get to endlessly hear about how emotional the finale was and how much people cried... I'm a pretty over emotional person. I cry all the time during sad anime. The lost finale however didn't manage to make me cry once. I can't understand why people cried over it at all. Jack's death seemed to be a justified part of the story. I didn't need them to waste half a season on an "alternative reality" to feel good about it, but apparently that's just the TV audience these days. Always looking for a warm fuzzy feeling instead of something well made. It was only a matter of time before it infected Lost.
*end spoilers*
WAAAAAALLLLLLTTTTTTT!
I dislike the finale of lost because it was poorly done... But that obviously means I hate it because it's popular right? Nevermind that I loved lost pre-finale. I'm just a hater to be cool.
It's also totally cool how you make personal attacks towards people who have different opinions than you though. Disliking something you like obviously makes us horrible people.
when did I make personal attacks. Never that's when. I made a generalization.
But still people just hate endings. The LOST finale was excellently done, it was a show about characters and ended as such.
You WAYYY over reacted to what I said because I never said it makes you a "horrible person"
The Alternate Universe was actually purgatory. The island itself wasn't. Hence Hurley crediting Ben with being an awesome number 2. And Christian explaining that the "Alternate Universe" (purgatory) wasn't based on time...Jack died when he died, some died earlier, some died later.
This 'purgatory' exists outside time really, as has been pointed out many times we have no idea when everyone died - Hurley could've lived for centuries, millennia even. It just brings back the central theme of reflection - the purgatory existed to really inform everyone how much the island experience meant to them, and achieving that moment of revelation - the series flashback - was the core reason for these characters accepting their new situation and deciding to move on.
***SPOILER***
"Lost sucks ass
Breaking Bad is a thousand times better!"
Both are good shows. And last night.. both episodes were a let down. Seriously, that Breaking Bad episode was boring and pointless. It didn't move the story ahead at all.
Can anyone explain to me why Juliet and Jack were married with a kid in purgatory? What is the significance of that? That really seemed thrown in for no good reason.
Static Jak is right.
The island was not purgatory. The side universe is.
@Run
I guess the only point of it was to *trick* Jack, so Locke could have his big reveal - "you don't have a kid".
Go fuck yourselves, those of you who feel that way. Seriously. What on earth is wrong with people that they can't just accept that something may not be interesting to them, but may be perfectly valid and wonderful and enjoyable for other people? If you don't like LOST and you don't watch it, guess what: No one gives a shit. Nobody does. You are not clever or special. You are simply grumbling about something that others are benefiting from. You lose! You get nothing! Good day, sir!
OK, done ranting. I loved the finale. Not perfect, but it was all about giving a good, satisfying ending to the characters. It was not about explaining the mythology or about providing a mind-blowing plot. Characters first, and as a fan of the characters, I enjoyed it, imperfect as it was.
Also, that was not purgatory. Seriously, people. You do not choose to leave purgatory; you leave when you've served adequate time and your soul has been whupped into shape. The people in LOST chose to leave once they became aware of who they were and what they'd done. (Remember, Ben chose to stay.) What you saw in LOST does not fit into any religion perfectly, least of all any of the Christian denominations. It was an amalgamation of theologies, if anything.
"Lost sucks ass. Breaking Bad is a thousand times better!"
Jesus Christ...
Can't they both co-exist peacefully?
I loved Lost, and I absolutely love Breaking Bad as well. Brian Cranston is probably the greatest actor on television (now that Terry O'Quinn is out of work), in my opinion.
Oh, the internet. Why can't you people enjoy more than one of the same type of thing?
Purgatory was a made up thing that appeared 1,000 years after the death of Christ, and has zero biblical justification.
So, it's not really "set in stone" what Purgatory is in the slightest, and can be up for interpretation. The alternate universe is a "non-denominational *LOST* conception of Purgatory".
I'm not sure everyone "chose" to leave, as much as everyone having the realization, together, that "allowed" them to leave. Hurley clearly died hundreds, possibly thousands of years after everyone, but the other survivors were STILL there - I'm sure a lot of them would have chosen to leave, but they *had* to wait for Jack. It makes sense.
And by what I read about the ending, I'm not sad I stopped watching it.
Also, this is an opinion.
Lost was great for the most part though.
I totally agree. I think part of the problem stems from the fact that this season is just running a little too long. Season 2 worked at 13 episodes, but this season could have been condensed into 10, or maybe even 7 like season 1. So we get episodes like this last one (I call them filler episodes), which could have been 10-15 minutes long, would be part of another episode, and still would have had the same impact.
