Meet The New Boss

It would be extremely easy to still hate Lost if that finale didn’t satisfy you the way you wanted. Pajiba’s own Cindy Davis still has a little place in her heart that bubbles with undying resentment towards it. If that’s your opinion, you might want to stop reading now and just spew your hate in the comments.

As for the rest of you, the ones who still care about these characters, there’s going to be an eleven minute epilogue called “The New Man in Charge” featuring Hurley and Ben Linus closing up various Dharma outfits. That’s exciting, right? I certainly love those two. And think of the hijinks!

Here’s about a minute of it to wet your whistle.








OK, so it might not give the crazy Lost fans all of their precious answers but I think it might actually be great. Imagine Up In the Air with Ben Linus as George Clooney. I imagine that even Dharmites have families to feed and rent to pay. It’s going to be perfect for that cold-hearted little bastard. We’ll certainly see a scene where Hurley doesn’t like doing this but Ben ultimate convinces him that it’s for the greater good, or something similar.

I just have one problem here — they want me to buy the last season of Lost, But I can safely say that after the finale I realized that I never need to revisit the island.

How many of you would actually buy the 6th Season? Besides this little epilogue, there’s no appeal for me. I’ll Netflix the last disc if Youtube can’t keep it up.

What do you think, Losties?

Are you kidding? I've already got my Season 6 DVDs on pre-order. Yes, please.

11 minutes? that's IT? I WANT MORE BEN AND HUGO.

I'm one of those that was all ready to rewatch the whole thing again so that I could catch all the hints. When that became obviously pointless, I lost all desire to watch any of it again. I'd kind of like to see this epilogue, but it's certainly not worth paying for a season I'd never watch again, even if I did work up the desire to watch seasons 1-5 and pretend not to know where they were going.

Eat a dick, Prop 8.

Oh, wrong thread.

Eat a dick, Lost producers.

I already bought the sixth season on iTunes. But that's because I was so behind I couldn't keep up during the season. I also have 3-4-5 already so I might as well get the rest on DVD as well. Plus I went and bought a crazy Lost bracelet. (http://www.etsy.com/transaction/31312684) So yeah, I'm in. And possibly insane.

Bucko, you read my mind. Up until the final episode i was like 'im gonna watch the entire series after this and catch all the hints to the answers they gave me over the years...' then they pull the finale crap on me and i have no desire to watch any episode again unless i just happen upon one on tv and nothing good is on. this epilogue intrigues me, but not enough to buy season 6. also, it should be longer, cause ben and hugo together will be priceless.

fuck lost.

Posted by: Dr. Mario at August 5, 2010 6:47 PM

Yeah, it disappoints me to say that my interest is meager at best. Bucko and Myrmidon16, I have very similar feelings.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at August 5, 2010 6:54 PM

It's a fallen world. Or an imperfect world. Screws fall out. Ease up on the Lost hate, bitches.

Posted by: patchfire at August 5, 2010 7:44 PM

I already own seasons 1-5 so I'll buy 6 just because I like having complete sets. Also, I think the fact that I watched basically the entire show in two months rather than dealing with the frustration of waiting week to week made the ending much less aggravating. Plus, Sawyer and Juliet.
pickled tink, I remember the picture you posted of that bracelet. It's definitely awesome.

Ever since this was announced I was psyched for more more more LOST!
Since season 3 I have been saying that Ben was GOOD! and now I get my vindication! Eat it mutha-fuckers

Posted by: El L Cool J at August 5, 2010 8:31 PM

Haha. "Tie up a few loose ends". I get it. That's funny.

Posted by: Steve at August 5, 2010 9:08 PM

I'LL NEVER WATCH IT. YOU HEAR ME? NEVER.

_____ Sugarmommamatch.C o m ______ hot and sincere people from all parts of the world gather here, for the one common

goal. Search and meet their friends or dream lovers!!! it always worths the efforts to try! life is a journey, no body wants to be

alone! anyway, that's what I heard from a hot cougar from there...

Posted by: ashly at August 5, 2010 9:46 PM

I'm lost as to why anybody would want to watch this.

No?

I lost my heart for the show with that damn finale. I lost my shit when it turned out they were in heaven. I think the producers lost their way in that final season. Seriously, what was up with that asian dude who they introduced and then killed off about three episodes later - they lost their fucking minds!

Lost lost a fan with that final episode.

if you want to have a successful tv show with millions of viewers, just do this:

string together a bunch of nonsense, but do it with suspenseful cinematography and music. give the hint that it will all have a really important meaning in the end.

but then don't explain anything, and don't have a meaningful ending.

you'll get millions of viewers who love your show. and they will be real excited because they love taking the time to come up with their own meaning because they are stupid.

A friend sent me a link to this and at first I thought, "Oh, it's just another article. Been there, read that." But then I was all, "Wait... is that a video?" And when I realized it was a teaser for the epilogue I began sobbing, just like I did when I found the Missin Pieces episodes two weeks ago. I'm so excited for the full epilogue.

I liked the finale and will buy the boxset, after I finally get around to buying season 5 to complete my collection. I'm a bit worried that watching the whole thing through again will make me hate the ending as much as other people do, but I'll risk it.

Posted by: Carrie at August 6, 2010 4:52 AM

Guys(and Dolls), I haven't started on Lost, should I get into it or not bother? You're giving me mixed signals and I prefer having other people make my choices for me.

Posted by: dugs at August 6, 2010 5:49 AM

sigh.

i was very disappointed with the lost finale and (say what you will) i'm still not over it. i've been thinking about whether or not to get the season 6 dvds for a while to complete my collection.

i do think the show still has value if you focus on the characters and forget the mythology so i will probably get it.

why, oh why, couldn't the writers, with three years of advance notice, think of a better ending?

Posted by: splinter at August 6, 2010 6:58 AM

Nah, LOST can kiss my balls. I want my 121 hours back.

Posted by: the new transported man at August 6, 2010 8:49 AM

40 bucks for 11 minutes of more loose ends, don't think so.

Posted by: balenga at August 6, 2010 10:58 AM

@dugs: It's worth watching for the production quality, characters, and acting alone imo. If you are looking for it to replace religion as an institution or something, which is apparently what many people wanted, it won't pan out.

I like the finale itself, but hated where the show went in it's last couple of seasons. I'd take that they were in heaven if season five and six were at the same level 1-4 were. Like others, I don't want to watch LOST again, at least not now. I realize that the show was just a hodgepodge of amazingly awesome bits that don't quite fit together well, and a re-watch will just emphasize that and make me sad. Anyway, definitely not buying season 6, but I'm definitely excited to see the epilogue. Netflix, it is.

Posted by: kayla at August 6, 2010 2:27 PM

Don't buy it-- it's already out there for your watching. Jezebel has it right now so get it while it's hot. It made me happy to get answers to few things, even if it was a backpedaling "Oh Crap. They hate us. Let's throw this on to get a few answers in..." sort of apology.

Posted by: TK the Other (delurking) at August 6, 2010 3:41 PM

I've already got 1-5. OF COURSE I'm going to buy 6. Possibly even on BluRay.

It's posted in its entirety online now...

Before season 6 started, I was excited to buy my first full set of my favorite tv show, but then I watched the finale and thought better of it. I will probably never see another episode of Lost. The problem with the last season was they tried too hard to bookend it with the first season.

Off topic, but did you guys hear about the Lost tv show auction? What a rip off, they are auctioning off Dharma plastic water bottles starting at $200.

it's already been said most eloquently and succintly, "Fuck Lost"
