Six Years Lost

View Comments June 3, 2010 | JoshPerson

I know I’m a little late talking about the Lost series finale, but I had to say something. It took me this long to convince myself to cover something every blog in the universe has talked about already. Even terrible blogs about blogging have brought this up. I, however, want to go a little more general in my rant and talk not only about series finales as a whole, but also the rage I feel when I hear people talking about these final episodes.

I watched the Lost series finale and thought it was alright, but I’m not like most people. I don’t hold such high expectations of TV shows to where no matter what happens I’m going to be disappointed. That’s what people did with Lost and a lot of other finales. They think “oh this is my favorite show, the most epic show on TV, this finale is going to be amazing!!!!” I compare it to going on a date with the hottest chick in the world, thinking you’re going to bang her at the end of the night. You start getting yourself mentally prepared by picturing the bang and running through all these banging scenarios in your head. Then once you get yourself worked up until you’re all boners by the end of the night you find out that this girl isn’t just a common slut and you leave with only a hug. Disappointing, sure, but you should realize that you’re not going to bang every girl on the first date, as unfortunate as that may be.

I find it hilarious how people reacted to the Lost finale. I can’t count how many times I saw someone saying “I JUST WASTED 6 YEARS OF MY LIFE!!!!1″. Do you know what that implies? That for the past 6 years you did nothing except watch episodes of Lost on repeat. How about you don’t take a fucking television show so seriously that it cancels out everything good you’ve done in your life over the last 6 years. I can’t help but think that these Lost fanatics who got married in the past 6 years are now all filing for divorce because that whole time was just pointless.

At least Lost wasn’t like most shows in that they don’t get to make a proper series finale. Most shows go off the air at the end of a regular season, leaving a million cliff-hangers out there and nobody gives a shit. Every time a show I like goes off the air out of nowhere I don’t think my entire time watching it was a waste of time. It’s fucking entertainment. “If I would have known Lost was going to end like this I wouldn’t have even watched it and since I would have so much free time I’d do something that I wouldn’t consider a waste of my life like, I don’t know, jerking off to internet porn, playing video games and reading comic books.” Nobody actually said that, but that’s what everyone complaining sounds like to me. How dare you take yourself that seriously. If you think your time is that important then stop watching the goddamn TV.

    I was fine with the series finale. It was a good end to the series. But,that's it. I didn't need it to be anything more than it was. It is kinda pathetic when people invest a lot of emotional energy into something like a TV show. I wish I had that kinda time.

    People get so angry and I don't understand it. Why would you want to watch a show that falls inline with your predictions? Plus, Lost has been a series of questions and just plain chaos. If you think the finale is going to wrap everything up nice and tight, you're an idiot.

    Suck a peener.

    Well, actually… I didn't think it was going to be amazing, I just didn't like the hint with the light like “hay guys, we're all going to heaven to be together now… because ofcourse, our only REAL lives were the island, and that's how we want to spend eternity”

    I liked the ending, just didnt like the fact of how sad some parts were, but overall it was good. I think no matter how they ended it people would still be mad

    The light didn't bother me and I don't even believe in that nonsense. It's a mystical show. It's no more ridiculous than having a smoke monster, so it fits fine.
