Lost and Found

(S03E22-23) Alright, so before we talk about the season finale of Lost, let’s have a quick talk about a bunch of season finales. Namely, 24, Heroes, and Lost.
As you may have read, 24 did end its season the same way it went through it. It sucked. Then I watched Heroes season finale yesterday, and I have to say, I was highly disappointed.
We had all this huge deal made about the big finale fight between Sylar & Peter, all those wonders about how to stop the exploding man, and then it all came up to… nothing.
Really, there was no big fight or nothing, actually, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Somehow all the heroes were all at the same place at the same time, even though we don’t really know why. But worst, they pretty much all had nothing to do, so all they did was stare.
Peter cried, Hiro got pushed away, Sylar lay on the floor, and the big answer to saving the world from an exploding man was, was, was… that’s right, flying away up the sky. How retarded? That was the thing everyone was think of for ages!!
Seriously, I’m pretty sure anyone watching the show saw that coming. Well, maybe not. I was indeed wondering why instead of crying and waiting to explode Peter didn’t just fly off and jump into the sun, I wondered why no one ever mentioned this idea before, but I for sure didn’t expect it to be their big solution. Because it’s so lame!
Anyways, 24 sucked all the way, and after the let down of Heroes I was a bit worried about Lost big season finale. But seeing how freaking good each & every episodes have been lately, I had hopes.
Actually, after seeing Evangeline Lilly on Kimmel, after what she said, I’d say I had high hopes. Which actually made me be worried, cause I feared that, because of my (high) hopes, I would be disappointed if the finale wasn’t great, even if it was (really) good.
But people, this is Lost. The season finale was simply awesome! Oh yeah, once again they did it. Amazing, I really love that show.
Lots & lots to talk about, so let’s go into it all…
Where to start? Well, I think I’ll start with the big revelation on the end, since the episode starts with it, in a way.
Future Jack.
How cool was that? And I really didn’t see it coming at all. I kept saying to myself, when the episode started, “What’s wrong? We never started in a flashback before!�
Yet it’s not until I saw it again that I realized, neither did we this time. Only this time, what happens on the Island actually was, the flashbacks!
I am still unsure how what to make with this. But I know I’m actually wondering if it is real. Not because it would mean that for the first time in Lost, they’d tell us that, for sure, two characters would never die.
I told you last time, there are a few we know they can’t die. But truth is, this is Lost, so you never really know. But now, Jack and Kate would seem to have become untouchable. I don’t want to beleive that.
But that’s not the (only) reason I doubt it. It’s because, just like I doubt the flashbacks are the actual past, I doubt this is the actual future. Maybe it is one “version� of it, one reality, one possibility, but nothing is written in stones. Ever. Especially in Lost.
But Jack’s dad is dead. This wasn’t because of a different reality, this was because of too much alcohol, or a desperate need for drugs, that’s all. And probably to kept us into thinking this was the past, too.
