End of the Era

Hope is a funny thing. Sometimes when you think it's all dried out and long gone, you find a little more where you believed none existed. This final season of LOST has been surreal for me. As the final season premiere neared then passed, I fully anticipated watching, even in the completely numb state that was my reality after six years of being

This right here is what I have been feeling for the last month and a half since the finale finished and so much more. Thank you for putting into words how I have felt about LOST and Jate but have been so overwhelmed by so many different emotions that I haven't been able to express either on LJ or the JC on The Fuse.

I promised a gigantic old school JC review post about the finale, Jate and LOST as a whole on The Fuse after LOST ended but have not had the time to do it. When I do have the time my emotions are so all over the place about the whole thing that its hard to put into words.

What you said above though is exactly how I have felt about not just the finale but LOST as a whole for the last 6 years.

We have always had pretty similiar thoughts about LOST and Jate over the last 6 years and I think we even took a break and became apathetic about the show around the same time too. I broke that apathy in season 4 after SNBH a little bit but it returned in season 5 and ended in the season 5 finale again when I saw Jack and Kate give each other another one of the end of the world I love you looks.

What you said above though is how I have been feeling.It is just such a mix of emotions that its hard to feel anything at some points and then too much at others.

The finale was amazing from a Jate perspective. For the first time in years I remembered how we all felt in seasons one and two with Jate and the purity of their relationship and why I fell in love with such an angsty couple who represented so much of what I loved about them.... redemption, forgiveness, 2nd chances, unconditional love, bringing out the best in your mate and shedding the bad parts when you are together, etc.

I still can't bring myself to review the finale just yet because I can't articulate it all just yet the way I feel. Hopefully one day I can. Until then I will just point to your post and nod my head in agreement and say "what she said".

Seriously I can not express enough how you just took the words out of my mouth about how LOST ended with Jate. This is why I miss you and Jen the Kate twins.
