Lost - SERIES FINALE! - 5/23/10

Busy week. never got to post about the finale.

Thanks to BafflingBeerMan for hosting all these discussions. It's been fun!

The end is just the beginning.

How Lost should have really ended!

Okay, haven't started working of "We Didn't Start The Light," the parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire," but I was inspired (i.e. bored) to write this:

"Man in Black" Parody of The Rolling Stones "Paint it Black"

I see a small boy and I think, The Man in Black
No colors in his clothes, he is called Man in Black
His real mother was killed by CJ at the time of birth
We are not given his name for what that is worth

He sees a group of men and they're all corrupt, black
He desires to leave Island, never to come back
Jacob cannot stop him, tries to turn him away
Because there are rules that they follow every day

Games, they like to play, Jacob and the Man in Black
One side white, and whatelse, the other side is black
Man in Black he fade away when thrown in the cave of Light
Jacob and he got into a really big bro fight

No more MiB, just the big bad smokey thing
Jacob could not foresee this happening to him

If we look hard enough over the entire haul
The smoke will judge you first before he kills us all

I see a small boy and I think, The Man in Black
No colors in his clothes, he is called Man in Black
He just wants to leave the Island in his Fake Locke clothes
But we all go to hell if his darkness goes

Tik, tik, tik,...

He wanna see the outside, outside world
Man in Black, Man in Black
He wanna see Island sunken down from the sea
He appears as some dead men, dead mean, dead men, Black
Yeah!

Tik, tik, tik,...

Why do you continually call him "MiB" when his name was Samuel.

Here's a question: If everyone we saw that was connected to the Island is not a construct (ala Faraday, Ms. Hawking), then what happened to Keamy and his crew when they were "killed?" Do they start over? Or go to that bad place that is oh so hot?

It also begs the question if Keamy and his crew were who Jin was originally supposed to deliver the watch to and he incorporated into it the world, or if he just needed a big bad and used Keamy. Which would make some sense, since Keamy was the one who "killed" Jin on the Freighter, via the explosion.

Chuck Klosterman (pop cultrue raconteur and Lost fan) has an interesting theory: the real reason why everything happened, that all the crazy stuff happened, was to get Jack's soul to move on. That is, forces from the great beyond, caused the plane to crash in the real world and get Jack to meet these people (and I supposed for those people to meet everyone else) so in the next plane of existance, he can settle his flaws and he can move on.

A twist on the flash-sideways. Not sure if agree with that, because it seems like that is placing the effect before the cause.

I did not watch LOST for any of its six seasons. However, with the advent of the series finale, I started watching Season 1 on the ABC site, then I saw the Season 6 finale and I was like ... HUH?!

My favorite characters:

Favorite Female Character: Danielle Rousseau (how can anyone NOT love Mira Furlan?!)

Favorite Male Character: Vincent (*waggles eyebrows*) ((Like you didn't see THAT coming?!))

Anyone feel slightly sad for MiB?

His mother was killed just after he was born, he's been told that he can't leave for some arbitrary reason and then gets turned into a smoke monster.

I'd probably start killing people too if it got me off that island.

Lost fans were so entranced by the finale, they watched most of the commercials and said they enjoyed them!
