Lost
So I'm going to attempt something a little foreign here and try to coherently write up my feelings. Considering I've only had about an hour and a half of sleep and every time I start thinking about this I either want to or actually start crying, this should go well....
I'd post this in ontd_lost but a) no one will care about my tl;dr and b) the Haters Are Too Stupid to Understand attitude really pissed me off. I don't feel like going back to see if people are still acting like that.
Let me start by saying that I'm not mad just plain heartbroken by what the alt ended up being.
Seriously, this (skip to 2:15) spread out over a whole season?
What's the use of figuring out the meaning of everything after you're already dead? What the fuck is the point of that? I wanted so badly for the "alt" to be real in a metaphysical sense, for the people whose lives were total crap right from the start, due to the bullshit and manipulations of Jacob and the island to get a genuine shot at making their own kind of music. This is like finding out that John Locke was really dead at the end of S5 but times a million. Way to falcon punch free will one last time, Darlton.
Some of the individual realizations were so wonderfully done: Sun/Jin, Aaron's birth, Juliet, realizing that Juliet knew she was going to die but that she was okay with because she got that glimpse into the hierophany (hey, the axis mundi did pay off in a way), but the one that truly broke my heart and that I cannot get past --seriously, you guys, I am jearing so fucking bad right now-- is
Eloise Fucking Hawking
The fact that she's obviously had her realization for a while, but can't let go or move on or let Daniel move on because she basically just wants him to have some peace and happiness in this fake bitch afterlife waiting room. I just...I can't even...my heart hurts. Her pain when she thought that Desmond was going to take Daniel away....ahhh, I need to stop because I'm literally sobbing.
Let me just move on to the island stuff:
Jack died. Perfection.
The island not being destroyed? Ugh. I choose to believe Hurley's too awesome to play dick games like Jacob did so he probably promoted a replacement from within or something so I can make my peace with that. And there was no smoke monster hell bent on destruction so maybe he took to his new job better than when Jack assigned him hatch pantry duty.
Asking Ben to be his Richard? My heart grew three sizes. That was a beautiful moment.
Kate got her Eowyn moment. Cool.
And a bunch of cool characters made it off the island and hopefully got to have fun with Miles's diamonds so that's something, I guess.
My heart is still broken, though.
