I didn't say horrible person. But you and SFP have posted, almost word for word, the exact same thing in no fewer than 50 posts in this thread. If it weren't so many, I'd actually go back and quote them. But that would take me about an hour.

I seriously don't think you realize how much you have done that. shite, counting this page, SFP has posted the South Park whale picture about 6 times.

It's just annoying for annoyance's sake at this point. Though SFP's is admittedly likely more intentional than yours. Especially considering that SFP is speaking from having watched only the first two seasons, and this last episode.

Fair enough. I'll admit the words ""F-You" to the fans" and "cheap" have probably appeared in no less than 40 posts of mine in this thread. For good reason.


But that's where the episode completely fell apart for me, so there's reason to focus on it. And I don't think the people telling us we are "wrong" get it at all, so repetition is sometimes necessary.

You're a plaintiff attorney aren't you? That is the exact kind of run around logic I see from them day in and day out. FWIW, it's called "the Straw Man" fallacy and it occurs when ..

"you misrepresent your opponent's position, attribute to that person a point of view with a set-up implausibility that you can easily demolish, then proceed to argue against the set-up version as though it were your opponent's."

Here's SFP's Straw man fallacy...

let me ask you this

how many tv shows have ever ended as a "DVD Menu Screen"

?

---

You bringing that question up as if that was my point is about intellectually dishonest as a person can be when in an argument. Instead of seeing the intent of my description, you chose to misrepresent my point and then ask a ridiculous question that is obviously false. I'd expect more for someone who thinks he's 'logical.'

Let me help you...My point was about the picking of a scene for which to put some type of information on. All TV shows and movies have to do this. That information could be a menu or it could be credits. Sometimes it's nothing but a black screen, sometimes it's some sort of graphics, sometimes its a scene from the movie...there are many ways this occurs. In this instance it was credits.

The episode fell apart for you after it had already ended. You keep ignoring what I said and what Lsut81 said earlier, or at admitting that it is possible...that this episode of Lost ended like EVERY SINGLE ONE BEFORE IT, with the Lost stamp on the black screen. What happened afterwards was just the credits. At least admit that explanation is possible.

Seriously you could do that for anyone.

While I was posting

OMG THE WRECKAGE!


The same three people were continuously posting:

You're wrong.

To which I post:

But why?

Then they post:

You're just wrong.

Essentially.



Anyone's posts can be simplified like that.

Of course I do, I never said otherwise.

The fact that your interpretation is possible, and the site of the wreckage makes another interpretation possible is the problem, since it's not rational.

The sideways stuff was all 100% fake. we have no real idea what happened to the real nadia.

The difference is Freaux and I aren't even stating that the alternatives are what happened. Just that they may be alternatives.

But within the context of this thread, you and Freaux/SFP aren't doing the same things. Your posts haven't annoyed me, but I've resorted to basically skipping the two of their posts while catching up...and both of them are opinions that I almost always want to read.

And Freaux, I'll tell you exactly what i told Slow above...you're getting answers, just not ones that you like.

In an attempt to rerail this thread, I'm gonna going over some of the smaller things I liked about the finale:

Loved the opening sequence with Christian's casket. It really hit home that this thing was wrapping up.

Liked a lot of Sawyer's quips...especially the one about Jack returning from the burning bush and about Jack having a hell of a long con.

The Juliet role in the flash-sideways (still a fertility doctor) really made sense to me and I'm glad they waited so long to show her in the F-S.

Richard and Lapidas: weren't dead after all. On top of that...they survived and got off the Island (for good as far as we know).

Loved Jack's comment to MIB that he disrespected John's memory by wearing his face.

I think we know know that the Egyptians came to the Island much longer before the Romans...considering the hieroglyphs on the plug/cork. It's pretty obvious to me that they built the temple and the statue before the Romans arrived...they just didn't expressly show this. I'm fine with that.

I do think that the uncorking/unplugging activated volcanic forces underneath the Island...a vague reference to the volcano we've known about for a few seasons.

I like how they had Frank repairing the window on the airplane. I think that was a shout-out to some of the fans who made a big deal about that window being out.

All of the skeletons down in the cave...evidence that people have been trying to get at the light source for a very long time.

Love it how MIB died by getting pushed off a cliff. It was a parallel to the way John Locke would have died had Jacob not touched him right after he was pushed out of the building by Anthony Cooper.

Ben as the new Richard = it fits

Kate was HAWT

The show in the endwas about letting go. I think that is a very useful metaphor for the audience to let LOST go and accept it for what it is.
