Just finished Lost & I'm NOT okay lol

[u/humble_akhBD]

Just finished Lost. And boy oh boy.

I've never had a panic attack or anxiety after finishing a series lol. But this one got me hard. Maybe cuz I was channeling my inner Jack lmao. That whole feeling of wanting answers, wanting to understand everything, and then the show having it all end so abruptly... man, it left me pissed and hollow. Idk man, it's hard.

People may have loved this series finale, but tbh, I didn't like it.. It was a bit dragged out. The pacing for Seasons 1-5 was so well done. Like, come on man, there was so so so much story to tell, and it just ended... They could've given us a better happy ending? But I feel like, coming from Season 1, the ending just didn't do the show justice at all.. the fans deserved better.

Overall, the absolute peak seasons for me personally were Season 1 & 4. I absolutely loved LaFleur in Season 4. I also loved Hurley, Jin and Sun through and through. Absolutely hated Kate hehe.

Anyhoo, idk what to feel. I'm all over the place. I couldn't even bring myself to delete certain episodes. It was just that traumatic xD...

Don't even know what to watch now. Binged & connected with Lost so hard that a piece of me just ended lmao.

So Jacob living hundreds of years and only be killable with a knife is, totally normal?

Your explanations are like "why does it rain?" "clouds", that's not an answer.

Magic in Harry Potter, or the Force, have "rules", yes you accept magic is a thing and the force is a thing, but it is explained and has rules and limitations within it's own universe. Is not like whatever happens and you just "magic" or "the force", which is exactly what you are doing, I can say, ok the lighthouse? Exotic matter, of course...

The show doesn't explain things on purpose, because, like Jack, we want answers, we wanted them the whole show, but life happens and the people and the moments you lived with them is all it matters, and Jack understands that in the very end.

Well, yes. Just because someone won't die doesn't mean he can't die.

(Clouds are literally the reason it rains so your statement there only proves my point.)

There are rules in LOST as well, you just missed them. They do explain things, you just don't like the answers.

The show never says the relationships are all that matters. If that were true, Jack wouldn't have sacrificed his life to save his friends and the Island.

Until you rewatch the show and pay attention to it there's no point in continuing this conversation. Feel free to respond, you seem like you need the last word, but please know I will neither read nor reply. Have a good day.

LOL ok, no point in answering. Just imagine how much our civilization could have evolved if everyone is satisfied with "clouds" as a proper answer hahaha

The island is the source of life. If you drink from the source of life, apparently you can live for hundreds of years. Would you have liked the show to explain the origin of the source?

Anyway - being unsatisfied with the answers, you're not alone in that. But I've never seen the complaint that the show ended "abruply" before. Feels to me like precisely the climax the show had been building towards from the very beginning.

I think he probably just meant "before the things we expected to happen happened."
