How LOST should have ended

I laughed so damn hard. Imagine for a second how awesome this would have been if this was the ending shown on TV. Just the shocked faces of all the eager fans across the country.

As funny as that was, I'm now imagining the same thing happening but with Jack waking up, freaking out and running into the wall.

Wait, what? I just saw this under "new" and posted a comment and now I see this one!

So, thanks Bart Simpson. "Simpsons did it!!"

Another opportunity for epic trolling squandered... Will humans ever overcome their bland nature?

Ron of Ron and Fez explained it best:

LOST was a storytelling ponzi scheme, the only way to pay off a previous nonsense story was with a new nonsense story.

How did LOST end any way? I gave up on that show years ago. Somebody care to quickly fill me in?

Nope, Lost should have ended like this...

Plane crashes on deserted island...all survivors are still in the plane, confused and banged up. A woman screams. There's the smell of fuel. A large explosion blows the rest of the plane and the survivors to hell. Camera zooms out and in the trees, there is a monkey masturbating furiously to the carnage.

I won a bet that the final episode would fade out in the end to black letters on a white background that said: F O U N D.

What is it with you Americans and that Heaven nonsense? First you ruin BSG with that Angel shit and now Lost. If Supernatural doesn't end with Dean shooting God in the middle of the face, I'll come over there, buy me a gun and go on a shooting spree in central L.A..

Ok, here's what gets me about LOST and this last season, specifically. The "real" time line all the events that happened this last season were much more streamlined than previous seasons. The drawn-out melodramatic scenes were kept to a minimum and the story moved along at a faster than average pace, at least for LOST.

But in the finale when we learn that the Sideways timeline isn't a timeline at all, but just...Purgatory or Bardo or whatever, it's such a waste of airtime! Half the season, not an episode or two, but half a season was spent in Purgatory, which ultimately amounts to a shaggy dog joke. If you think about it, any story could end with the characters in Purgatory, waiting to be reunited with loved ones. It's lazy and cheap writing, and it kind of surprises me that they were planning this all along.

Look, I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Mysteries are all well and good, but I don't really care for the unsolved kind. Cuse and Lindelof could've spent that half a season answering more questions. Why were Walt and Aaron special, the numbers, the electromagetism, the nature of Smokey and of the Protector. And goddamit, who were the first people to come to the island? How did Allison Janney get there and what motivated her? What is the island, anyway? Give me scifi aliens to explain it, but I want an explanation, dammit. People bitched about the Jacob and Smokey backstory, but my only disappointment with that is they didn't go back far enough. When the fuck did the island first appear/get made?

But no, in the finale we get handwaving and the ultimate red herring. All in the service of a happy ending that'll make your girlfriend cry. It's like one of those movies that are incredibly sad throughout but have a tacked on happy ending.

Us nerds don't really care about catharsis, or redemption, or logic vs. faith, or the Big Questions that you're supposed to grapple with. I wanna see Zeus creating the island from the lightning from his scepter...or whatever. If they can't give me the why, they should at least give me the how. But they didn't want to do more scifi, they decided to leave it as fantasy.

YES! I actually would have regained all respect for the show if this had been the end

I can hear the "POH!" in my head.

Make it stop.

I'm not a professional writer or anything, but how about showing Hurley having a nightmare and flinging himself about like that dog does, then jumps out of bed and hits the wall etc, then he takes a dump and you see it coming out and falling and then clouds part and the enormous turd brings down the plane and we are right back where it all began..

thoughts?

It should have went back in time and erased its self from the beginning.

IrritableGourmet · 2 years

I think of the LOST ending as the biggest Bel-air ever pulled. It's this long interesting story, then at the last second you have to put the entire six years behind you for the sake of some overdone theme that everyone suspected from the beginning but quickly dismissed as the plot got interesting. And the end result is the same: Why did I fall for that again?!

You know what? I have no idea how it did end, but I really enjoy thinking this is how it was.

fani · 2 years

I liked this ending so much better than the crap we saw.

I'm so disappointed and pissed at Lost.

They took a show involving heavy science and turned it into crap the last 10 mins. Even the ending of the show makes no sense in the context of the show.

Utter garbage.

jamessavik · 2 years

I'm just glad that it did end.

Now we are suffering through "Lost-a-like" dramas like FastForward that the networks will probably cancel and will never be finished- like Jericho.

As a writer I know the signs of a writer that has no idea where he's going. The way the plot of Lost wandered aimlessly for whole seasons, they are lucky to have had the ratings that they had. I know many people kept tuning in waiting for it to make any sense whatsoever.

This would've been more satisfying than the actual ending, IMHO.

ChewyIsThatU · 2 years

Awesome. I agree this would have been the perfect ending.

idlefritz · 2 years

Maybe it did... they only told the story of what happens when Jack dies, not why all that crazy stuff happened on the island. I'll take dog dreams over lazy plot resolution any day.

Best Laugh I've had all day!

rowd149 · 2 years

I still think the best ending ever is if they'd played the 2 hours as normal, and then after the commercial break that starts the last 30 minutes, they played the last episode of Evangelion, finally ending it with the L O S T logo.

I think I would have died. Of awesome.

Thank you so much for bringing this to me. i have not actually laughed out loud at a funny pic in some time.

And, as a Lost fan, I would have actually preferred this ending to the actual one.

Can someone give me a tl;dr for the ending of lost for a guy who's never seen an episode?

gonosis · 2 years

Feverant · 2 years

the ending reminded me of being a child and reading a really good but strange story, the author obviously couldnt think of a sufficient ending, and thus it concluded with the main character waking up and realizing everything was a dream....... oh the disappointed look that i must have had, reminds me of now.

TheAfterPipe · 2 years

At least the plot would make more sense, now.

That is the most perfect thing I've ever seen.
