Almost done re-watching S3. God, the flashbacks are worse then I remembered, and the side stories often feel like fan service; mainly the Sawyer stuff. He's one of my favorite characters but it seems like a lot of screen time is wasted on him when it could be spend on the actual plot.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Kate's flashback about meeting Sawyer's gf/con partner really sticks out as a bad one. It's another coincidence of characters running into each other and it's just not interesting.

-Right now I'm watching the D.O.C., which has a boring Sun flashback. The side story is about her trying to find out whether her pregnancy (which wasn't mentioned in many episodes) is safe. She even thinks Jack could be working with the others after he takes interest in her health. Jack, the character she has trusted for the last 3 months. So she can't trust Jack, but can go into the jungle at night alone with Juliet to get an ultrasound. lolol

I didn't feel very much for most of the characters in s5, and the acting was downright terrible in many cases. Kind of dissappointing they felt the need to introduce the s4 characters into the plot and utilise almost no one but Faraday.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #78 on:** January 06, 2010, 01:24:45 PM »

The cast is separated in one way or another for the majority of the season, some of the better characters only have a smattering of appearances, they use a plot device that could have been interesting but ends up only being used to fill plot holes, there are a few stupid deaths, and even the writing is cheesy and pedestrian at times. There were a handful of awesome scenes, but by and large it felt like a hyooooge waste of time at the end. It's much more apparent than in previous seasons that they really had no idea where they were going from the start. The funny thing is that I was like OMG THIS IS GONNA BE CRAAAAAAAZY after the first few episodes and then it just gradually went to shit.

The good news is that it looks like the next season might still be awesome.

edit: Ha Solo said pretty much the same thing verbatim on the previous page. fml

What made S5 NOT AS GOOD (not bad, dont believe the haters) was that they had announced the end of the series by this point so they had to work and try to fix some strings they had going in a certain period.

The finale is easily one of the best. It's like a slow jerkoff session.

- Character interactions are FUBAR'd (Jack and Locke share one whole scene the entire season)

- Amnesia
- Other lazy writing devices

The whole season is like LOST: the fan-fic

Jack vs Locke is one of the absolute best things about Lost. Not just the one-on-one confrontations, but how their different ideologies play out on the island.

Q&A: 'Lost' producers discuss emotional final season
Get ready to return to the island one last time: The final season of ABC's "Lost" is going to be an emotionally intense journey that harks back to previous highlights of the series, with the ideological battle between Jack Shephard and John Locke taking center stage.
By the time most major network shows cross the finish line, they're limping in the ratings and creatively exhausted, wrung out by networks and producers trying to mine just a few more hours. With "Lost" producers having persuaded ABC to set 2010 as a series end date years ago, the hit drama is going into its final lap with level of fan anticipation rarely seen for the ending cycle of a broadcast show.

Below, executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, give The Hollywood Reporter their first full-length interview focusing on the sixth season. What secrets will be revealed? How will fans react to the ending? And what are Lindelof and Cuse's plans for life after "Lost"?

Cuse and Lindelof assure that there's a satisfying cliffhanger-free conclusion planned. And even after the May finale, there's almost surely going to be more "Lost" to come.

THR: You obviously can't talk about the content of the ending. But how do you think fans will feel about it?

Lindelof: That's a very cagey way of asking it. It's tough to prognosticate. But the one area we're in agreement is there will be a short-term reaction to the ending and then a legacy reaction that comes six months, a year down the road, looking at the show as a whole. Carlton and I were trying yesterday to remember what the final season of "The Sopranos" even was about -- we couldn't remember much about the finale itself except Anthony Jr. was going to go into the Army and crashed his car and changed his mind. But we remember every frame of the diner scene. What people take away from our finale is going to be based purely on that two-hour episode, but our hope is they'll be able to connect that experience to the six years that preceded it.

THR: How would you describe this season in terms of its, say, tone? What is it like compared to past seasons?

Cuse: We feel tonally it's most similar to the first season of the show. We're employing a different narrative device, which we feel is creating some emotional and heartfelt stories, and we want the audience to have a chance in the final season to remember the entire history of the show. So we have actors coming back like Dominic [Monaghan] and Ian [Sommerhalder]. We're hoping to achieve a circularity of the entire journey so the ending is reminiscent of the beginning.

THR: Is there any one character's story line that you think particularly emotionally resonates this season?

Cuse: Jack and Locke have always been at the center of the show, that dilemma of faith vs. reason, and the conflict between those two characters has been there since the beginning. It's very exciting to bring that relationship to its conclusion, and we can't really be any less vague about that.

THR: In the past few years we've had "Sopranos," "The Shield," "The Wire" and "Battlestar Galactica" air final episodes. Any of them that you felt concluded really well?

Cuse: I personally don't feel any of those were messed up, they were all kind of appropriate for those stories. Shawn Ryan did a great job ending "The Shield."

Lindelof: It really boils down to: Is it satisfying? Have you given the audience an emotional ride that makes them feel that they're satisfied, that it's a good meal? Every one of those shows had a different criteria. The ending for "The Shield" was, asking whether Vic Mackey would get some form of comeuppance for all the things he's done over the series. That's a similar question that went into the "Sopranos" ending, which is why people who didn't like the cut to black were unsatisfied, because they felt, "I feel the resolution of this show has to be what happens to Tony Soprano, and you didn't answer that question." The "Battlestar" ending had 10 different things on its agenda other than character resolution ... you have to admire it for the sheer audacity for what it was trying to accomplish. That being said, the "Shield" ending was phenomenal, and almost every fan of the show agrees with that. Whereas the other shows -- and probably with the ending of "Lost" -- there's some debate about the ending. "Did I like it? Did I love it?"

THR: Have you boiled "Lost" down to a central question that the finale needs to resolve?

Lindelof: The only question that's ever mattered to us is what is going to happen to these people. What is the character resolution? That the audience feels like the characters had an arc -- a beginning, middle and end. And I'm satisfied with that. All the crazy island mythology stuff, we love it, but it's like terrorists attacking Jack Bauer -- it's stuff that happens in order to tell cool character stories.

THR: You mentioned a narrative device, I'm assuming it's not a flashback or flashforward?

Cuse: Musical numbers. If you love Bollywood movies, you will love this season.

Lindelof: The show never rests on its laurels. Not because we're trying to be artsy, but the show demands constant shifts to best tell the story. We've known what we were going to do for a couple years now, and there's been a tremendous amount of work setting up the premise so it would work. But we're still wondering, "Will it work? Will the audience understand? What's the reaction going to be like?"

THR: Since there is no footage being revealed in advance of the Feb. 2 season premiere, is there anything you can say to tease it?

Cuse: We ended with Juliet pounding on this atomic warhead. There's Jack's prediction that the bomb will reset events and the plane will never crash. There's the possibility that it doesn't work. We want the audience to be pondering what is the consequence of Juliet hitting that bomb. Our cliffhangers are designed to frame the question that we want audience thinking about.

THR: Now that you're this far along, do you have a favorite season?

Lindelof: The first season is probably my favorite season, you forget in hindsight all the pain that goes into doing the show.

Cuse: I'll say Season 5. We did something radical (by introducing time travel) and embraced the sci-fi roots of the show. We were concerned about doing this. But the fact people liked last season was enormously gratifying.

THR: Do you have any plans to pitch a new show, on ABC or elsewhere, for next season?

yay!

Return of Jack vs Locke seems to confirm that Locke will be resurrected in one way or another, thank God.

On the other hand, their answer to the question about wrapping up the mythology seemed like a roundabout way of saying, "we have no idea how to answer some of the more contrived happenings. WOOPS."

I bought the series on blu-ray recently and have been rewatching them in glorious high definition. I'm up to Season 2. Even in season one there are still tons of things that are unanswered, I'm doubting they are going to be able to answer a lot of things with just one season left.

Quote

Forget terrorists and tea-party activists, President Obama is asking for trouble from the scariest group of people yet: Lost fans, who stand to see their much-anticipated final-season premiere pre-empted if the prez slates his State of the Union address for Feb. 2.

The White House is reportedly mulling either Jan. 26 or Feb. 2 for Obama's first State of the Union. If it picks the latter, that messes up ABC's long-announced plans to air a big three-hour Lost event that night to usher in the show's sixth and final season.

It's unclear what that would mean. Would we have to wait one more week for the glorious confusion of more Lost answers that turn into questions? Would the premiere go ahead as scheduled while ABC delays the otherwise live national speech?

We're guessing ABC had to know this was a potential problem, since the president always gives his State of the Union around this time. We're hoping they have a Plan B.

In the meantime, fans have gone viral and seem as batty as a raging polar bear Lost on a twitchy time-traveling island. They've started a save-our-Lost-premiere Twitter campaign to stop Obama. Under the hashtag #NoStateofUnionFeb2, the Losties are threatening, begging and trying to reason with Obama.

Brackmann wrote: "Please Obama, don't crash Lost premiere. We don't need to hear the economy is bad, it's old news, save yourself a speech." zenkitteh added: "Come on Obama!! You are a smart man, you must be a fan of Lost." And WillJRHopkins added: "I'm not an american but if i have to wait for lost any longer i might throw up."

Ahh...Lost. I welcome thee.

I gotta say though that I was pretty disappointed with S5, not because of the time travel thing (I like that) but because when we finally got to look at the Dharma operation they were nothing but a collection of gun toting idiots. Seriously, these people seemed like they were pulled straight out of an epsiode of the A-Team where they were the guards of some weird Columbian drug operation in the middle of Missouri. I don't know, it killed a lot of the mystery surrounding much of what I thought could've been....well, something better than that.

Oh and not to mention the bow and arrow shootin', Latin speakin', Others who still for some reason go by that fucking name even though it was just a nickname the survivors came up with to designate that group. I mean do they really call themselves the fucking Others? Why not the Wildcats? Or the Jets? Or the Bay City Destroyers? For fucks sake, don't let these dorks name your group the Others when you've been living on that island for hundreds of years.

*sigh*

Still, I'll be there to the end. I've gone this far, I might as well see how this thing ends.
