What is this show called Lost? I dimly remember watching it at some point...
I already ordered it on Amazon and I should get it this week or next. Cannot wait for "The New Man in Charge."

Some Losties are still out there on the promo trail, e.g. Matthew Fox, whose quick Q&A session with the NYT today makes it sound as though he's still in the media bubble.

While I'll inevitably Netflix the final season, I'll be fast-forwarding through all the flashsideways scenes.

Q. So people were coming up to you on the streets in the days after, going, Hey, nice death? A. Always in a positive way. They loved it. They really appreciated the six years of the show and all of our contributions to it. I think that the media might have wanted to create a little bit of like, well, theres some people that are dissatisfied with the way it ended and they want to make a story out of it. I certainly didnt feel that in my experience. If there are people out there who were really dissatisfied, at least around me, theyre being awfully quiet. |
You really shouldn't. Especially if you know what the flash-sideways really mean.

So it is a self-imposed purgatory of sorts. So now we can think about why Sayid coupled Nadia off with his brother. As punishment for selling out the other Losties on the Island for Flocke's promise to be reunited with her? Ben's interactions with Alex and Danielle are now not a second chance for happiness but a second chance at redemption. And so on.
Since we know the what of the sideways, we can look back to the why. And since, ultimately, the series resolved around its characters and not its mysteries, those flash-sideways serve well in the explaining the core motivations and achievements of those characters.

YEEEEEEEEEEAH!

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
The Final Season box set comes out TOMORROW.
DVD, Blu-Ray, and, if you've got the cash, the entire Series box set.
Unfortunately, I don't have the cash right now. Probably have to wait till my birthday the end of October.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
