Bummed I was to have sat through the last two episodes of Lost. I mean to say. Blimey.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I didn't watch seasons 3,4 and 5, or, most of six, so I reckon I've banked a few hours of apparent sanity.
And as for The Prisoner! Pshaw.
I watched the Series Finale of Lost, and I don't think they were all dead--at least not at the same time. Some things really did happen; others just took place in a different time, different reality. I was glad about how the series ended. Very fitting to the 1st season of Lost.
ReplyDeleteThe Usual Suspects is a great movie!
P.S. SPOILER ALERT!!!
The Crying Game is neither a game nor anything to cry about. No goa'uld were harmed in the making of this film.
Actually, I've not seen any episodes of Lost. From what I read it seemed to be aiming to be what the X-Files degenerated into - a big wobbly pile of inconsistent mysteries with no solution.
ReplyDeletea big wobbly pile of inconsistent mysteries with no solution.
ReplyDeleteYep, that was Lost... but I loved it anyway. (The phrase could also sum up my life.)
The ending was a bit of acheat. Back in the first season the producers assured us the castaways weren't dead. But they are now. The moment when Christian Shepherd led them all into the light was just cheesy.
