I've never hated a fictional character as much i hate Moon's mother. If I were in her place, I would burn her alive ngl...
I want them dead so badly. I hope they suffer before their death....
As someone who has never played the game, this finale was 80/100 i guess... I mean it was good but something was missing....maybe more zombies...idk maybe some drama. Overall, I'm definitely looking forward towards 2nd season...
"THERE ARE MANY
ENDINGS BUT THE RIGHT ONE IS THE ONE
YOU CHOOSE"
-Jennifer (12 Monkeys)
I don't think that any show will ever be able to give us a better ending than this one just did, but I hope that they all try. Because this one was just phenomenal and hit on all of the timey-wimey and character points that the show has always been good at hitting. Everyone who needed a shot at redemption got it and nailed it. Well, except for Olivia, but we knew that all along, pretty much. (But even there, her bones served a purpose.) And perhaps most importantly, everyone got an ending. Or the beginnings of endings. And happy ones, at that.
Two nice touches that I really appreciated: (1)
They didn't actually show Cassie hitting the Big Red Button, so we don't know for sure if she did.
The results either way are similar, but also different in terms of where Cole ended up. I choose to believe that Cole ended up in the same new timeline as the "real" others. (2) As it clung by a thread to a tree limb, that red (.) leaf that the camera panned to so that it could lead us out of the show at the very end was perfectly symbolic of all living things having an ending.
Cassie and Cole and the others have one life now. Free will over destiny. Do it right or go home. No do-overs. The way that it should be.
How can there be 7 votes giving it 36% now in 2016, when the movie is due in 2017???
The first two episodes were largely a faithful recreation of the game. While I appreciated the authenticity, I wondered why this needed to exist. If I wanted to reexperience this story after all, I could just revisit the game.
This episode really did what the series should be doing. It gave us a new angle to look at a story beat that was there in the game, but only shown to us in the past tense. Now we're getting to live through these moments, and that makes the series really feel worthwhile.
Dumb fuck still called him dad. smh
I don't understand why people complained so much, to be honest. I mean, ok, they're all dead, but we all die sometime in our lives and that's what the producers tried to say to us. It doesn't mean that the island is the purgatory and they all died in the plain crash at the beginning. They lived in the island, all those events happened and it was their destiny to meet each other, in life and death.
I've been watching all these many years and just noticed this. In the opening scene, where Jacob is visiting Ilana , he tells her that she must protect the "remaining" six candidates. The scene must take place after the death of Jeremy Bentham/John Locke. She is heavily bandaged and bruised from being burned. She had been this way for some time (Jacob apologizes for not having come sooner), yet when she boards the Ajira 316 flight with Sayid just a short time later, she looks remarkably well, not a trace of her suffering to be seen.
Jacob healed her.
This is my new guilty pleasure.
Why do I judge an episode by the final scene? I mean, yes, it sums up the emotional load of what's happened to that point, but it's also a separate story line altogether, and unto itself (mostly). Anyway, I do. And, I cried a bit over their last exchange, about his hat...touching. Formulaic AF, but it's the emotional reaction -- the dopamine I can generate as a result, that gets me off. My guilty pleasures, hahaha.
Huh. I assumed this episode was universally hated. I didn't think I'd be in the minority (at least the minority of the comments here) by thinking this episode is stupid, but it's stupid. Everything about Nikki and Paulo is terrible. They get shoehorned into the show, and Sawyer's routine "who the hell are you?" bit is just lampshading the issue. The fact that they find the drug runner beechcraft and the Pearl station way before anyone else is incredibly dumb. The scene with Paulo watching on as Ben and Juliet come into the Pearl was completely pointless - they traveled all the way out there just to look at Jack for 10 seconds, and then left? Makes no sense. And, the ending is way darker than what this show normally is. It's kind of fucked up. I mean, I hate the characters, so I don't mind they're gone. But, boy, that is a bad way to go.
Like, yeah, it is kind of funny when regarded against other typical Lost episodes. But unlike a Hurley episode, I think the show would be better without it. These two characters are among the biggest missteps Lost takes. Reading up on the original intention, they would've been on the show even more, with a more elaborate story and more fourth wall jokes. It's a damn good thing they ended up caving to audience pressure on this one by killing them off before more time was spent on it. A rare instance of audience outcry being an actually good thing.
Fuck the Ana Lucia. I can’t stand her one second on screen
Damn you Michael, you selfish fuck
Fuck you Michael. Again…. You bloody motheeefucker
Fuck you Michael. Again…. You bloody motheeefucker
Fuck you Michael. Again…. You bloody motheeefucker
Screw you, Michael. I really hate you, you are a very bad person really!! And you can't just justify it because of your son, so fuck you!
Holy shit, I love this episode so much, but I always forget it opens with the flashback of Sawyer's parents' deaths.
"It'll come back around." God, the goosebumps being able to hear that for the first time were indescribable; before that, none of the whispers were ever that clear or even subtitled. They were on the DVD set I rented in March 2006, and I thought, "Holy shit, the whispers are real?" Yes, but also no, and in this case maybe just Sawyer's conscience considering who said that to him before the flight.
Sayid enjoying teasing Sawyer over a boar with a vendetta is hilarious.
Robert Patrick, the fucking T-1000 himself, as one of Sawyer's "associates". Perfect casting for the guy who conned Sawyer into going to Australia to murder a man who wasn't the "Sawyer" he'd been searching for for decades.
"I only made out with him because torturing him didn't work." Touché, Freckles. Touché.
Hurley's already spent enough time on the island to know the usual tropes of being stranded on Haunted Island of Doctor Moreau: "Dude, I know how this works. This is gonna end with you and me running through the jungle, screaming and crying. And he catches me first because I'm heavy and I get cramps.
Hurley's such a righteous dude and good friend. Recognizes that Charlie's probably not handling killing Ethan well, and immediately seeks out the only survivor he knows served in a war and might know how to handle the guilt/grief of killing someone.
"All right, sassafras." Man, I am so glad that the producers ditched the idea of Sawyer being a suave, smooth-talking conman in a Prada suit after Josh Holloway's frustrated outburst during his audition revealed his thick accent, making them re-think the character as... well, still a suave, smooth-talking conman, but this time with a Southern angle. The way he says "sassafras" just fucking oozes impossible amounts of charm.
The "Never Have I Ever" drinking game scene is half of what I love the most about this episode. Finally get to see both Kate and Sawyer with their guards down enough to let some things slip.
Kate: I never wore pink. *Sawyer takes a swig* I knew it.
Sawyer: The '80s.
Ha, I can see him in the pastel suits with the shoulder pads rocking the Don Johnson's Crockett look from Miami Vice while trying to con a woman.
"I never carried a letter around for twenty years just because I can't get over my baggage." And this right here is why every "Never Have I Ever" game had some rules about not getting too personal, because once people realize they don't have any easy ones anymore, they start aiming below the belt.
I love that story about the Golden Retriever; there's a 50-50 chance Locke made it up, but it seems like he knew it was something Sawyer really needed to hear, even if he didn't know why Sawyer was so obsessed with this boar: Frank Duckett wasn't the conman who'd swindled his mom leading to his parents' murder-suicide.
Son of a bitch, seeing Frank there using Huy Fong Sriracha is really making me miss that stuff. Been two years since Huy Fong stopped production, then 10 months later saying the inventory shortage is too much to continue production, and it's been eight months since the last news that they still haven't found another pepper supplier. God, I miss that stuff so damn much!
Welp, looks like Sawyer just wanted an excuse to take a drink after his "I've never killed a man" lie. Oh, wait, no it wasn't!

This scene, at the bar...fuck, this is when I knew this show had me for-sure hooked; there'd already been some small hints about the survivors' lives intertwining before the flight, but this? Sawyer and Jack's father having an entire conversation about Jack, a man he wouldn't know for another couple days and then come to know really well. John Terry's voice was already pretty distinctive from all the other actors on this show, and when he said, "You tell 'em, cowboy." I remember thinking, "no fucking way that could be Jack's dad!" Then comes the "misplaced wallet" line, connecting to Jack's first flashback episode, and the reveal of his face.
Christian Shepard: You know why the call Australia "down under" dontcha? Because it's as close as you get to hell without being burned.
Dunno, Christian, that's a pretty sizable burn of Australia right there...
"That's why the Red Sox will never win the damn series..." And there it is, the reason Sawyer would soon realize that the crazy drunk American surgeon he met before 815 is Jack's father.
Christian: And right now, my son thinks that I hate him. He thinks I feel betrayed by him, but what I really feel is gratitude and pride, because of what he did to me. What he did for me. It took more courage than I have. Hmm, there's a payphone over here. I could pick it up and I could call my son. I could tell him about all of this. I could tell him that I love him. One simple phone call, and I could fix everything.
Sawyer: Then why don't you?
Christian: Because I am weak. This, uh, this business that you have, will it ease your suffering?
Sawyer: Yeah.
Christian: Then what are you doing here?
Sawyer: It ain't that simple.
Christian: Of course it is. Unless you want to end up like me, of course it is.
Probably for the best that Sawyer left out the bit of Christian convincing him to "do his business" of murdering an innocent man when telling Jack about meeting Christian at that bar.
"You're not alone. Don't pretend to be." That's actually some damn good advice for someone who may be dealing with PTSD; it's not judgemental and not overly-aggressive. Just a nice, simple thought that might stick in Charlie's mind long enough for him to realize he shouldn't push everyone away. Especially Claire.
"Tell Hibbs I would've paid." And there it is, the Southern Henry Gondorff got stung himself by Hibbs.
"It'll come back around." That was the "holy shit, how do the Island whispers even know that?" part in my brain the first time watching this. "Where the fuck are you guys, indeed, Charlie."
Jack: I said that's why the Red Sox will never win the Series.
Sawyer; What the hell that supposed to mean?
Jack: It's just something my father used to say so he could go through life knowing that people hated him. So, instead of taking responsibility for it, he just put it on fate. Said he was made that way.
Sawyer: Your daddy, he a doctor too?
Jack: Was. He's dead.
The blue balls I felt after hearing Sawyer say he didn't really wanna hear about Jack's father is indescribable. They were this close to actually acknowledging the fact that they had a connection that existed before the crash, something I desperately wanted them all to start realizing.
Fuck Walts mum. Imagine voluntarily taking your son away from his father who loves him and isn't abusive. Also the gaslighting of saying he was holding on for himself and not for Walt? Fuck that bitch
Best episode till now in the entire series
great episode, also happy to be seeing more demon interaction. the crossroads demons become really important later in the show.
I don’t know why they obey the king. He’s so fucking useless. It irritates me as hell.
Ngl. I cried a little at the end
The best movie I will probably never watch again and one of the best movies I've ever seen. It left me deeply sad, disgusted and depressed, it made me wonder how can people so vile exist and so nonchalantly mingle with us. If you're doubting whether to watch it or not, just do it. It is a fantastic piece of cinema that regardless of how tough it can be to watch, deserves to be seen.
This movie rendered me silent...speechless. To think that people actually did this, still do this. To think that kids actually went through this, still go through this. Humans are so freaking disgusting and disappointing, and this movie portrayed that so. damn. well. The leads were terrific, especially the child actors, and the movie portrayed everything so well- albeit heartrendingly so. WATCH!
This is one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. A true horror movie without having to rely on jump scares or gimmicks. The score is truly unsettling and with the cuts of disturbing imagery it builds tension well. Jack Nicholson gives the performance of his career here. The Overlook Hotel is so unique. The attention to detail and production design is flawless.
This movie is already good on its own, but it becomes 10x better when you know what Patel went through to get it made.
The movie has already cemented itself as a classic of the vengeance subgenre, with echoes of Woo and Park Chan-wook, while bursting with enough originality for it to avoid feeling like a carbon copy.
It's a primal yell of a directorial debut from Dev Patel, already an underrated actor, who uses his unique experiences with religion and his own Indian heritage to bring the story of the film to life.
You can smell the blood and sweat wafting through the screen
That shit went hard, damn.
I don't think I've seen anything like that since The Raid movies? While it's not all on THAT level, nothing really ever came close. And first time (full movie) director Dev Patel? Mad props yo.
