I learned the other day, to me astonishment and delight, that me Dear Old Mother (age 82) is a LOST fan.

So what happened in the final? Everybody was sitting in a diner?

That was the Jimmy Kimmel "ending" ....pffftttt...I thought there really was a bunch of alternate endings.

Seems a lot of sf souls found LOST very much to their liking. Check out Joe Haldeman's ah-deers at haldeman tangled.

I've never watched it. Was it as good as The Invaders?

Naw! Nothing could be!:p

Yeah I hated to hear that. Also what confuse me was Darlton had said they knew from the very start what the closing scene and image would be.(Jack's eye closing) Kind of made me think, wasn't jack supposed to die a couple episodes in and not be a big character? So how could it be planned? :confused:

Who were the writers?

Who were the writers?

Damon Lindleoff and Carlton Cuse. I think thats right. I always just refer to them as Darlton so I always get it confused splitting their names.

What else do they have to their credit? Fictioneers?

I think mostly just some other shows. I think they both began on an old favorite of mine Nash Bridges. But other then that I am not sure.

Good for them! Writing for tv is =very= hard.

This is from the abc.com website, the summary of the final episode. This is the penultimate scene....



"Jack goes inside and sees his father's coffin. He's affected by the sight of it. He crosses to it to open it -- and the moment his fingers touch it -- FLASH! Images from the island wash over Jack. He stumbles back from the coffin and he remembers. Everything. He opens the coffin, and of course it's empty. Then behind him his father says hello. Jack turns toward the voice. He's not surprised or startled. He's confused. Christian died. Christian nods and says yes, he did. It takes Jack a moment to put it together, but then he realizes he died, too. Jack asks if Christian is real, and his father says he hopes so. He's real, Jack is real. Everything that ever happened to Jack is real. And everyone in that church is real, too. Jack processes the implications of that. They're all dead? Christian says everyone dies. Some of them before Jack. Some of them a long time after him. Jack asks why they're there now, but Christian says there isn't any "now" here. This is the place they made together so they could find one another. The most important time of his life was the time he spent with those people. No one does it alone. Jack needed all of them, and they needed him. For what, Jack asks. To remember, and to let go. To move on. Jack asks where they're going, and Christian says let's go find out.


"Jack enters the church and sees the most important people in his life. Rose. Bernard. Sayid. Shannon. Boone. Sun. Jin. Claire with baby Aaron. Charlie. Desmond. Penny. Libby. Hurley. Juliet. Sawyer. John Locke. Kate. They're all happy and filled with peace, love and excitement. Locke says they've been waiting for him, and they all take their seats in the pew closest to the aisle, one behind the other -- like in an airplane. Christian comes in and walks down the aisle to the front doors. He opens them, and they church is bathed in light. White light pours in, getting brighter and brighter, and we push in closer and closer on Jack until he's overwhelmed by the light..."


I posted this because I needed to review what Christian said to Jack. My god, it makes me cry. If I can do that when my time comes, create a sweet space where I will see all the folks and (for me) furry creatures that filled my life with love, oh merciful heavens, it will be glorious.

Christian is right. No one does it alone.

I was actually bummed when I relised Rose and Bernard were there and I didn't see Vincent. :mad:
