They’re dead, Dave
Everybody, Dave. Everybody’s dead, Dave. They’re all dead. Everybody’s dead, Dave.
…and so began the best scifi comedy series, ever.
Which brings us to LOST, which wasn’t a comedy at all. Or, so we assume. We watched part of the first episode, and kept up with the story line by watching The Soup. Just in case we missed something, our friend, @tremendousnews recapped the full 6 seasons in 60 seconds. He’s a genius.
Sorry, we probably should have said “spoiler alert.” But, in case you missed it, they’re all dead. Were dead the whole time. We’re guessing the writers were hallucinating their way through another season when the brass upstairs told them they had to bring this to a close. Suspension of disbelief can evidently be stretched just so far. So, like all good writers, they hunkered down to wrap everything up, all nice and clean.
Ha! We’re kidding. They were so far out on a limb, there was nothing left but air, so they thought, “what the hell, we’ll just say they were dead all the time. Kind of a Jacob’s Ladder-Dallas-Sixth Sense sort of thing. But with spooky smoke monsters and hugging. It will be awesome!”
Why didn’t we watch Lost? Because we hate remakes, and Gilligan’s Island was a Classic. It’s a pretty safe bet that Lost never featured a computer made with coconuts and bamboo. And, you never saw anyone on Lost in an evening gown. You don’t mess with perfection like that.
We couldn’t figure out why Lost lasted six seasons. But we’re not as confused as this guy:
Would anyone like any toast?

Misinformation is the basis for our entire existence. Doing actual research would have ruined the fun. We fully admitted to never watching an entire episode of Lost, ever. We talked to somebody who saw the 10 minutes of the last episode. That, plus watching the first 20 minutes of the first episode, and weekly updates from The Soup, was as much as energy as we were willing to expend.
Thanks for updating our readers. The ones who were addicted to the show probably appreciate it.
You really ought not to write about unfamiliar things before doing a little basic research.. They were not dead the whole time. That’s not what the finale revealed. And the producers knew that the show would end this season after season 2 — in 2005. Correction?

I twittered the other day along the lines of that I was glad it had finished as now maybe folks would talk about something else.
Some sad bap obviously had a search going for the word lost and called me a hater! ::sigh::
