| Ok, so....Season Finale was last night. I've heard one out there refer to it as "somewhat disappointing." I suppose that it might be viewed that way. However, unlike their normal fashion, questions were answered. Which to me, as a pretty avid viewer is refreshing. Granted, in true Lost fashion, there were more questions asked than answered, but that is the name of the game. However, for some reason at the end of this season, I wasn't as intrigued as I was at the end of last season.
*********************SPOILER ALERT*************************
As the episode wound down, we saw Jack, Kate, and Sawyer on a dock bound by the "Others" Obviously, making the viewer apprehensive as to their plans with our 3 main characters. However, we do know that nothing bad will befall them because you don't kill Jack, Kate and Sawyer and expect to maintain a viewing audience. But, here is my issue. And here is why I'm not as worried/apprehensive as I should be. The more we focus on the others, the less scary they become to me. I mean, yeah, "Henry Gale" is a creepy fella, but when these people aren't shrouded in mystery, and walking around barefoot through the woods, they don't seem as scary. They are a mystery, yes. With their fake beards, and make-up and things, but, while a mystery, they're not scary. Perhaps, I am interested in knowing the origin of their mystery. What they're really all about, but interest doesn't make me anxiously anticipate any info that might slip out over the summer, and make me wait with baited-breath for the first episode of next season.
*******************************************************************
Anyway, I will watch next season. But, I'm not sure if mere intrigue was enough. So, perhaps, this long entry is simply myself stating that I agree with the "somewhat disappointing" assessment of the season finale of Lost. Thoughts? |
