The man of steel and I are so hopelessly behind the times, we didn’t finish watching the 2002–2010 TV series, Lost, until last weekend. (We viewed it on Netflix rather than doing the time travel thing to watch them in an alternate universe in real time.) The finale led to many thoughts, and here are my top three.
- Sawyer is the ultimate cowboy. Give the man a weapon and he can strut like a con man cowboy, island cowboy, sea-faring cowboy, airborne cowboy, policeman cowboy. And all without a horse.
- Hiram caught onto the eye thing long before me and correctly predicted what would happen at the very end.
- The Dharma Initiative was one of the biggest threads left dangling by the writers. Personally, I think the initiative’s purpose was to explain the launch the generic food packaging movement in the late 1970s (also known as Sawyer’s jumpsuit cowboy period) so as not to alarm the general public. How do you explain the Dharma Initiative?
You didn’t say if you LIKED the ending… Did you like it or hate it? (Dan and I watched it on Netflix too – and lost too much sleep over it) … we both hated how it ended…
We loved the show LOST though… just wish it had ended differently
I agree with you – loved the show but not the finale. However, as Hiram said, “When you take on time travel, there’s no way to answer all the questions in the finale.” Wise man!
