Sideways Ben and Hurley's conversation, the fact that their "souls" remembered each other and their interaction on the Island, Christian's speech, all indicate what happened, happened. The "flashback," as it were, to the wreckage was just to show us what united these people. Notice there were no dead bodies. If they really wanted to pound the point home that every died in the crash, they would have intercut the reunion scene in the church with the camera viewing their bodies on the beach. That, plus the fact it was more a stinger, was meant to bring closure.
    I see your point, but the ending did not fit the uniqueness of the show. They could have used any narrative to get to this ending about "friendship through survival and the strong bonds that are made through such experience" i.e. soldiers in war. This show did not answer the questions, for me, that made the show unique like the origin of the island, the mother of the island, etc...I just felt that the ending, which is generic and can be applied to any long running drama, did not do this unique show justice. I am done venting and chances are will not read anymore about this, in order to keep the little bit of sanity I have left...good day.

    This, but I feel that the writers hit a road block and could never come up with a good explanation about the island and took this path for the storyline and they did all right. Could not get any more FINAL then death and moving on but kind of lame now I think about it because...EVERYONE DIES no real shock, and a lazy way to end a show next to a wake up/dream experience. Really, that could be a ending for all shows from here on out, "What happened to everyone...they died".
  3. It would be so wonderful if someone could put up some videos somewhere so those unable to attend could bask in the rays of love given off by CoX. Not a demand just a humble suggestion. Wish all a good time and stay safe

    One question:

    It seems that all past pictures of the team are taken from the knees up. Is this an attempt to hide the ball and chain or shackles?

    Please don't tell me I'm the only player whose first reaction was "Manti left? when?"

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't think it was a "Sorry but Manti left CoX and is now working for the CIA...i can't say anymore...i am afraid i have already said to much"...Statesman

    I did hear about it when either Cuppa or one of the Devs did and interview on MMOradio. They just said that Manti will be working on some other projects but will still have some input...me thinks but I knew he did not have the same role as at the beginning....we sent a memo out along with the TPS reports!!!....I think we had a cover sheet. *palm face splat*
  11. I was sad when i finished GW's Patron arc. I wish we had a library or book store that was in-game so we could just read/research about the CoX universe when we want....just a thought.

    Oh, my first TF was Manti's and by far the best TF in-game

    Question: my Ice Arrow keeps melting on the way to a mish any ideas how to stop that? And my Glue Arrow keeps sticking to my back, and that dang Oil Arrow keeps leaking all over my costume.....any help is appreciated

    WELCOME BACK!!!
  12. I think what the game needs is a revamp of the missions. Dont get me wrong the new power sets are awesome but if i have to grind the same missions that i already know the back stories, what is the point. I wish that the devs would put some fresh storys in for the vets. I mainly play on the red side and the one thing that is boring me to no end (will to some end, i am taking a few months off from the game because of it) is im not doing missions to find out what happens next, i pretty much know. The only contact that i have not done is Slot machine. I started over to get the hidden contacts which was awesome but now im done with them and really do not feel like grinding through Hardcase, Hard Luck and Jezebel all over again. The only thing that kept me going through the lower levels is the ability to get the new contacts. Just thought i would give my three cents

    figure that the Force Fields one would be like the Defender Force Fields, but for personal use.


    [/ QUOTE ] Booster Gold anyone?

    And what the heck is WILLPOWER?!?!?

    Maybe you gain NEGATIVE HP? Like you get shot but you really just don't care?

    so you could actually end up at the end of a fight with -2000 HP and live just long enough give a thumbs up?

    The willpower reminds me of PainKiller Jane...."Just take it like a Man" kind of thing. Yeah it hurts but you keep on going. Not really sure how that would be expressed in game but anything that is new is welcomed by me
  14. I love the idea, very nice first issue, keep up the good work
