Lost Season Finale: OMFG
For a show that is supposedly on a downward spiral, Lost really delivered on it’s season finale tonight. How the writers of this show manage to reshuffle the puzzle, while delivering such a satisfying and heartbreaking payoff, boggles the mind. Pulling out of a long streak of frustrating episodes to one of the best season finales ever is a real accomplishment.
In the end the question is wtf? Parallel universes? Time travel? What the hell is going on? And what are those flashbacks really? With Desmond waking up inside of his “memories” and the abrupt shift in perspective tonight, I’m totally intrigued and very confused.
6 months seems like an awfully long time to wait.

Couldn’t agree with you more, great season finale! Definitely some wicked mind games. Haven’t quite figured out where they are going, so it has accomplished it’s goal. That is -keeping me tuned in when the next season starts. I liked the end. I have been reading that the castaways are in some kind of weird time loop maybe. Because remember when Charlie heard that the computer was programmed by a musician? Like some kind of weird Deja Vu?

I completely disagree but respect what you say. For anyone who ha seen jj abrahams write before, we should know this is going to be an awful rehash similar to poor alias story lines. Keeps you on edge of seat to come up with an ending which is far from satisfying

Wow I really hope it doesn’t end up with a Alias-type competletly pathetic ending, there is so much promise, Alias was the most disappointing show finale ever.
So the flash-back Jack was really in the furture, but didn’t he mention his father was still alive?
Grrrr I want to know!!

Thanks for the comments guys. The critical difference between Alias and Lost is that the show runners—aside from Abrams—seem to know what the hell they’re doing. Also, Brian K. Vaughn being hired as story editor gives me a little hope.
Alias was a big disappointment, I’ll give you that.
