Gave up watching Lost back in series 1. Final episode on this week.

Here is what it will show you :

They are all mad people. They are all lying on tables in a secret medical institute
A brilliant, but unethical doctor has hooked their brains up to a computer
Here they live in a virtual reality
The world they live in is created by themselves, by their fears, their ambitions, their desires, their morals

The black dude's son (don't remember their names) can hack into the computer system so he can appear in the world. But the institue keeps stopping the hacking so he dissapears again
The mad french woman was the first ever attempt at the system. It went wrong and now the doctor can't get her back, her mind is permanenlty locked in the world
The imposter bloke (can't remember his name, he had a few though) works at the institute and tried to report the goings on to the authorities, so they hooked him up as well. He knows the world isn't real but knows he can't escape
If they accept the world is not real, and understand it is not, they can can escape. They can wake up in normal life.

If they can interact with others in a 'normal' way the doctor can release them as they are 'rehabilitated'.

But the issue now is that most don't want to escape. The real world they lived in was more hurtful to them than this one.

I think it was Hurley who (nearly?) worked this out once when he was going to jump off a cliff. He knew (or deeply suspected) he couldn't be hurt if he didn't want to be, despite falling from a cliff. But he also realised that would take him back to pain of the real world, so he didn't jump.

The bald dude (name ??) also either realises where he is, or accepts that where is his is better than where he was, so why try to get back.

Smoke monsters, polar bears, everything it is all just somebodies deepest fears / paranoia / thoughts creating these things in the virtual reality they live in.


Next spin off series - Found.

Somebody gets out, wakes up, escapes the institute, tries to report the institute to the authorities, nobody believes them , they are mad after all.
So then they try to 'rescue the other people. Maybe they have to go back in to the virtual world to convince them it is all in their mind

- ultimate episode of that series - the person realises the virtual world is a better place than the real one, decides to stay, camera pans back and shows millions of people stretching as far as you can see lying on tables hooked up to a big computer.

What world are you living in ??? dum-dum--duuuummm



AM I RIGHT ????

Sorry but half way through reading that everything went white - now I don't know WTF is going on!?

Was a promising series when it started but they jumped the shark early on in the 2nd series and it became ridiculous.

Evangeline eye candy even got boring.

pretty good video windy... it does make sense from the "Lost"'s perspective...

however, this show IMO had the crappiest ending out of all other TV shows i've ever watched...
they've turned, what could have been a really good sci-fi/mystery drama into some pseudo religious nonsense... no closure... half of the mysteries unanswered... tons of totally redundant sub-plots... flawed logic...

if you haven't watched the show consider your self lucky.

can someone give me coordinates of the island...? i wanna turn that wheel to make me go back in time to make a choice not to watch the show...

Missed the last show,

Watched the clip and realise I was right not to waste my life watching the series.

And, I still like my idea better.

It leaves less room for criticism of aspects of the plot, less questions about why and what came before or after, makes more sense and allows another series, or spin off series, to rise up and carry on if required.

Think I might write a TV show.
