I thought seasons 1-3 were legitimately well crafted, suspenseful and just fucking entertaining to watch; despite all the cliches.
Then, somewhere around the 4th season, it just got less fucking entertaining. Only kept watching to find out what happened. And for the writers to give some answers that made sense. None to be had. Bull shit. Quote:
If anything the island and the fucking well of light caused more evil than good. Oh it brought them all together? How heartwarming, at least 200+ confirmed deaths to bring them all together. I wouldn't mind a dark ending.. but it's a cheesy sappy ending.. And waves, sawyer already knew juliet. they were fucking for 3 years while living in a 1970's dharma camp. Thats the only reason they went with the whole afterlife bullshit story, so they could reunite the dead characters (Sucks that Adebisi refused to stay on the show). But now I'm about to blow your mind. You said that jack's son was jack himself and not a real person, I already got that hint but jack had the son with juliette in purgatory. the very same julliette that met sawyer and kissed him at the hospital moments after seeing her son. Then she wound up at the church, back in love with sawyer. Oh did all of her memories of her son that I assumed she loves just get erased? With kate, claire, aaron, sun pregnant bull shit story, the show constantly reaffirmed how "important being a parent is". So now juliette just gets that stripped away. nice. Let's go to present day actually LIVING Kate and Sawyer. jack's dead. juliet's dead. Kate and sawyer get off the island together. Are you telling me the two of them didn't fuck like 4815162342 times in various expensive hotels after returning to the US?. So they lived their lives together. Then die. And in the afterlife they forget all that and switch it up. k. Nearly vomited blood when I saw fucking driveshaft on stage.. thank god they queued up the score instead of subjecting the audience to another god damn rendition of "you all everybody". I hate that fucking band. Should have used the island's completely plausible and unretarded time traveling abilities to put driveshaft on the Skynard plane that crashed instead. The lost ending is as bad as that scene where hurley and dj qualls were in a music store and they both agree that, "this song is good". god damnit it hurley, I thought you'd have decent taste in music. And people in a music store listening to cds? That's less believable than the rest of losts fuckin hi jinx.

The smoke monster was simply trapped on the island. jacob was the protector. When someone said in the early seasons that the smoke was some kind of security system they were way wrong. jacob was protector/guardian, and his brother was kind of just another lost soul trapped on the island except he could take solid form and smoke form. Also, Its more ambiguous than just "good and evil." I shouldnt have even used that word because you have to cast aside traditional notions of morality and ethics and take the characters influences into account. The man in black wasnt traditionally evil, no, but he WAS an antagonist and his character influences were indeed rooted in traditionally "bad" motives. He was the one who had the pessimistic view of humans, remember the scene with him and jacob on the beach? for millenia he and jacob had been on the island bringing people to it to "test" their morality. Now that in itself, the game they set up, its ironic they were setting it up to test peoples morality because it could be argued that forcing people to crash land on an island to test them for their morality and abilities is pretty fucking evil in itself. So the show is purposefully quite ambiguous in all of its morality. Quote:

(i did totally forget about juliet dieing by the bomb though, so thats why i said the show implies they had a long relationship after the island events. obviously not juliet but sawyer had a long fruitful life, its implied.) It does really suck about Mr Eko though. He was my favorite character by far. Quote:

On the other hand you have the man in black, jacob's brother... who is justifiably pissed off. He actually thinks for himself. My point being, he's not evil, he was just driven insane by being kept on the island. Of course the show wouldn't have been as "scary" without the smoke in the early seasons.. but that's my point about the writers fucking themselves and ruining the end. Too many inconsistencies and ignored questions. And jacob was a shitty protector. While he was in charge of keeping the island safe, the dharma initiative was busy bringing 100s of people to the island and building towns and multiple intricate science facilities. Then the people started killing each other. All in the name of the islands retarded electromagnetic powers. And this all happened on the island.. and the island is still there. The island didn't need any fucking protection, and quite frankly the whole damn story is some convoluted bull shit. However my disdain for these last seasons of lost led me to Deadwood. After watching lost in its entirety, all I can say is Deadwood might just be the greatest fucking show ever made.
