The day after

[cleolinda]

So, I'm still thinking about Lost. Yes, we're still on that. You want me to go back to talking about Twilight? Because we can do that.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I just want you to tell me Vincent went to heaven cause... well.... Clive, Chet, Sam, Shelby & Scout want to KNOW!!!!

[illyria47]

Of course he did. Because all dogs go to heaven, right??

[maudelynn]

I believe this because a heaven without Shelties would be no heaven at all.

^This.

I thought the Man in Black already had a name. Johnny Cash.

/never watched lost

[greyduck]

Imma let you finish your comment, but the Dread Pirate Wesley was the best Man in Black of all time. OF ALL TIME.

(What. I couldn't help myself. The Internets made me do it.)

(Also? Patently untrue. Johnny Cash was the best, duh. But still! For the lulz!)

[sevenmarie]

I loled, I'll admit it!

Personally, don't think the "imma let you finish" kanye meme will EVER get old!

OK-that was funny!

A 'Lost' obituary

[bishsticks]

‘Lost’

Sept. 22, 2004 - May 23, 2010“Lost,” age six seasons, passed away with dignity on the evening of May 23, 2010. Memorial services were held a half hour later on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” with Jimmy Kimmel officiating. Special music was performed by Michael Giacchino. There will be no burial as its body of work has been donated to the Internet for extensive study

did you write this?? because if so, you are a frigging genius. amazing!

Re: A 'Lost' obituary

[bishsticks]

I did. I write obituaries for a living. Had to write one for "Lost"!

[rhodynne]

I like the way you called it a Titanic afterlife. That helped me pull it together in my own head, semanticly. I got it, but now I have something to call it.
:-)

Were you the one who started calling him the Locke-less Monster?

[cleolinda]

Don't think that was me. In fact, I don't think I came up with any names for Smokey; I only used names that other people came up with. If I'd been writing recaps, I might have tried to name him something, but...

[zoethe]

I called him the Locke-mess Monster, FWIW.

WORD. RIGHT ON!

I have to say, watching Lost's "failure" gives me a new appreciation for what JK Rowling managed to pull off working all by herself for 10 years. I mean, HP was as complicated as Lost, and she DID pull it almost all together.

[cleolinda]

For real. This is why I've said, on occasion, that what I'm trying to write is a bit like both of them--not that it has anything to do with the subject matter of either, but it's got a large cast of characters, a bit of in-story mythology, and an on-going mystery/quest. And I say it simply in terms of, this is the kind of back story writing that drafting the series is front-loaded with, because I *don't* want to be caught five books in going, "Shit. That makes no sense at all. I totally screwed myself over three books back."

[particle_person]

Changing the subject, the NPR app is now my favorite app. I'm wondering how much longer it will be before they rename themselves National Public Media.

On still another topic, it's weird how everyone seems to be talking about the show as if it were a living thing that actually died. It feels right too, I just don't remember seeing that for other shows.

She did?

Maybe my memory is fuzzy from reading Deathly Hallows too fast on its release date, but I found J.K. Rowling's conclusion astonishingly disappointing. My synopsis of the Deathly Hollows plot would go something like this
