Any other fans of "Lost" in ED? If so, views on the finale?


Enjoyed the finale, love a bit of romance / happy endings / OTT sentimentality, but lost the plot with the plot some way back.


Am confused. With the conclusion of the parallel world thing, were they saying that they had all been dead all along, for part of the time (e.g. since that big bomb when Juliet got squished) or from the times when they had each died?

** Spoilers, Bonniebird - so look away now! **


As far as I can work out, the island was real. The exchange between Hurley and Linus at the end ("You were a great number two" - "You were a great number one") suggested to me that life on the island went on. The series was therefore Jack's life on the island, so when he died, the series ended.


The parallel storyline that popped up over the last two seasons was, on the other hand, some sort of limbo. The 'there is no now' comment meant that their deaths in real life bore no resemblance to the time in limboville. Desmond was some sort of angel character who's job it was to get everyone to realise they'd popped their clogs and assemble everyone at the church.


And I can't believe I didn't notice the 'Christian Shepherd' reference at any time over the six years!

I agree, Loz - Island was definitely real and Ben and Hurley were the caretakers, then when Jack died, everybody had been waiting for him so they could all 'move on' together. The 'flash sideways' was a kind of purgatory.... but it was so good seeing them all remember what they meant to each other. They all lived their lives and died at different times - just waiting for Jack to join them.


I thought it was a pretty good ending. Still have a few unanswered questions though!!!

      Checking refs of these builders

      By camberwell57 · Posted

      Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson rather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.

      John Marx (Top Marx Kitchens): highly recommended kitchen fitter

      By enya · Posted

      We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
