At this point, the only thing that will really disappoint me is if the ending doesn't "fit" logically and emotionally with the rest of the show.<br /><br />To use an example that we are both familiar with, the ending of BSG made sense logically, I guess...but I didn't think it came close to fitting the emotional tone of the rest of the series, so there was a great deal of tonal dissonance that we were left with.<br /><br />If LOST leaves me with a whole bunch of questions unanswered, but gives me an ending that fits from a continuity, logic, and emotional standpoint, I think I'm fine with that. I can spend the rest of my life coming up with my own answers to those questions, if they give me enough context.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155737107718849274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605713505742350776.post-743805145770995172010-04-29T19:07:51.355-04:002010-04-29T19:07:51.355-04:00I'm pretty damned satisfied with S6 so far. I ...I'm pretty damned satisfied with S6 so far. I could nitpick it to death, or question the pacing of the reveals or some of the sideways hijinks, but for the most part, I've followed happily along and been very entertained. I'm frustrated at still not knowing the "nature" of the sideways world, but if they eventually lay it all out, and it fits logically, then I won't harbor any grudges.<br /><br />If Smokey's "I'm always Christian" story is revealed to be the whole truth of the show, then I'll be disappointed, because it doesn't add up when you examine his every appearance (in every time period and every location). I sure hope there's more to that.<br /><br />Also, you mentioned some possible continuity errors with timing. I've noticed those too, and hope that they weren't THAT sloppy with things as we head down the stretch. (Though we do know they can be human and miss things, like Charlotte's birthday, Sideways Claire's ultrasound date and most recently, Des's wedding ring. In a recent interview, Cusick acknowledged he wasn't supposed to be wearing it in any timeline, and he forgot to take it off. Now, is that last one actor misdirection? Maybe, because we saw it pretty clearly, but it could just be one of those things that drives Lost fans crazy with postulating when an actor simply made a mistake and no one noticed it).<br /><br />As for what I want and need answered, I'm actually working up a list on that one, but it will probably be shorter than I would have thought this winter before the season.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912061891010047846noreply@blogger.com
