LOST series finale live blog | by someone who has never watched it
I’ve never watched LOST. That’s not to say that I think it’s a lame show or anything like that. It sounds like it was a really cool show. But here’s the deal; some friends told me way back when CSI got started that it was a really good show. So I watched it and discovered that CSI is one of the dumbest shows I have ever seen. So naturally when LOST started and those same friends said they thought it was great, I ran the other way never to turn back.
Here’s my experience with the series finale of a show I never watched a single episode of:
7:55 – Flip through channels to find something to watch. Settle on a show documenting people entering their cats in shows.
8:00 – Dang! that cat show ended. Guess I’ll watch LOST. Why do we have to spell lost with all caps? Here to forth ‘LOST’ will be known as ‘lost’
8:06 – Wait. What?
8:09 – How is that guy so fat still? Hasn’t he been ‘lost’ on an island for like three years? For that matter, everyone’s cloths are in pretty good shape too.
8:10 – Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout.
8:13 – So the fat guy is Buddha and Jacob is Jesus?
8:14 – Denim shirt guy is having trouble maintaining the southern drawl.
8:22 – The dog has a cool name.
8:25 – Check Google Reader. Then watch Cheat Commandos on www.homestarrunner.com
8:26 – The Inception trailer looks cool.
8:42 – Desmond kinda looks like Barry Manilow.
8:43 – That’s probably the same gold light from Marsellus Wallace’s brief case.
8:56 – I think I have this figured out. Remember, I’m the guy that figured out Fight Club in the first 8 minutes and got an A on the test on that book in english class in high school that I didn’t even read.
9:01 – Didn’t Zack Morris play in a band called ‘Drive Shaft’ on Saved by the Bell?
9:17 – Is there a guy named ‘penis’?
9:21 – Watch some Wine Library TV with @garyvee
9:23 – Fight Scene. In the rain. Shaky camera work to emphasize the chaos and drama. I have a feeling that dude isn’t dead.
9:32 – Trying to make sense of tweets like; “no way that just happened” and “I didn’t see that coming”, because to the untrained eye it would seem that literally nothing is happening.
9:47 – Back to Gary Vaynerchuck.
9:56 – Okay I’m going to be 100% honest. I have no idea what is going on.
9:59 – I think I would take my chances on the island rather than get on that sketchy plane. But that’s just me.
10:11 – Checking my clock cuz this was supposed to be over 11 minutes ago. Wait, apparently it’s got another 20 minutes.
10:21 – Jack; I am your father.
10:30 – I have a feeling this wasn’t a big shocker of a finale. Seemed like a greatest hits episode…kinda like on Friends or Full House.
I'll thumbs up the Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout.

From a guy that's watched every episode since the pilot…this made me laugh. Hard. I'd be curious to know if you really did have it figured out by watching the finale. If so…you're brilliant and the rest of America is stupid.

People around me are asking what I'm laughing so hard about…and I can't stop laughing long enough to tell them.

lol That's the best explanation of LOST I've ever heard! It's just a back story for Pulp Fiction, really. And 9:17 pm cracked me up. It does sound like that's what they're yelling.
