Endings

[tmblue]

I feel like a lot of the big entertainment related things in my life are coming to a close all at once...

On Sunday, I watched (with the rest of the world) the last ever episode of LOST. Who was happy? Disappointed? Confused? Angry? I felt a bit of all of these things. I wasn't satisfied with the ending simply because so much was left unsaid and

hello you

Yeah, all of what you just said is exactly what I think. The alternate reality was just a limbo where each of them went the moment they died on or off the island. It did not have any 'time' or 'place' to it so even though they all appeared to be there at the same 'time', Charlie, for instance, was there right after his death in the underwater station, Jack went there when he died on the island, Kate and Sawyer and Claire, etc went there after they naturally died once they returned home, which is why it's been so long for Kate since she last saw Jack, missing him the whole time

well, i feel better knowing i got a bit of it right

Agreed about HP. Everything made sense and tied up and it was beautiful

i've forgotten so much, but yeah on X-files, i had completely obsessed friends who watched along with me, and I even had a friend pick up like around season six, so I rewatched most of the series with them, and I suppose i was so, so deeply into it that nothing would have fully satisfied me. Also, as much as I obsessively loved the show, I always felt it drifted off rather than ended. I think I could have sacrificed a season or two of meandering to have sort of punch out hard

That's very flattering but I doubt it has to do with my writing! hah, I just don't think I'm good enough to come up with something as complex as LOST. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have had a better plan, heh. That's why I wouldn't really ever attempt something like that to begin with... would be so terrified of not being able to wrap it all up and make it all make sense

I'd love to see it. ")

Keep in mind I am the most completely crap beta ever, but i'd love to read something you'd cooked up entirely.
