25th of May: Totally, LOST.

Hello Everyone,

So if you don't watch LOST or you don't want to be spoiled. Stop reading, right now. I mean it. Just turn away.

Now, The LOST Finale. I know this is such a huge topic today that my thoughts will probably not interest anyone but I wanted to write down what I thought anyway so that when the time comes that someone asks for my opinion I can remember what I thought.

So wow. It was epic. Now I'm not going to lie and say that I loved everything about it - but I really did love it. Yes, I was annoyed that they didn't fully explain the Island and its mythology but I really don't think that was the point. I think they raised a lot of questions about life, death and afterlife and I think they answered it the right way. They showed that its not about the big questions, but who's with you while you're trying to discover the answers. It focused on the characters and how they affected one another rather than why they were there. I think that was an amazing way to take out a series that has meant so much to so many people.

I do feel a little bit left open on the Island storyline. Not because we didn't get answers to questions but because I thought there would be a tiny bit of finality to it. But there wasn't. Which I like too, but I still feel like we could have had more warning that we weren't going to see the island again. I think that was it - I felt like I didn't say goodbye properly and would have liked an extra hug. But overall I was really happy with how it all turned out

My favourite bits were:

- The storm. Its the most amount of rain that we've seen on LOST and Jack Bender has said many times that they save rain for huge events. Well it could have flooded the Island the way it was going. Very impressive, Jack Bender.

- Claire and Charlie. If there is one person that wasn't sobbing by the end of it I'll be completely shocked. So beautiful, such a perfect send off.

- How everyone interconnected, like who triggered everyone. I think it was really lovely that Claire was Kates and that Charlie's was Claire even though he got a tiny flash on the plane with Desmond/Jack. I really liked that. It was cool!



Things I would like answers to in the future (But am glad weren't in the finale):

- Where were Walt and Michael? Were they not wanted in the Church or did they not wait for them like they did on the Island? I think it was a really interesting decision not to have them in finale. I liked that they weren't there because they were sort of traitors, but I would like to know if they weren't welcome in their little waiting place or that they just didn't feel like they belonged. I don't think Michael would have felt worthy of being in their Church or whatever but I have a hard time believing that Locke could forgive Ben and everyone couldn't forgive Michael. Anyway

- I'd like to know a bit more about the Island. But at the same time I don't really know WHAT I want to know - I just think it would be fascinating. Perhaps about the Statue and the Temple?

- What smokey's actual name is. I didn't want it in the finale but I would like to know now.




Also - a question to anyone who reads this in the near future. How did Boone know about the Church? Who was his trigger? Did I miss that?



Anyway - This was probably nothing to anyone else but I'm glad I've written it down!


Until Next time xx
