jacob's always looked like a loser if you look back at the episodes...his character was always the same, friendly and nice...ing mommas boy. lol and just look at how he got killed i mean come on..
what i dont get is wtf with the light, the egyptian , and what was the point of the oceanic 6.
Quite informative interview, also answering some questions regarding last night's ep.
Damon and Carlton are getting quite full of themselves lately, though.
Really don't like what I'm reading there, especially this bit:
"And they say, "I wanted to see the statue built," or "I wanted the Man in Black's first name," or "I want to know about the guy Sayid shot on the golf course." Okay, that's cool, you wanted those answers and we decided not to provide them to you. It's not because we're being cutesie, it's because that that didn't fit with our vision of the show."
Ever since we first saw it way back in the earlier series, the origins of the statue in particular I was really hoping to be covered, even if it was a really quick and brief explanation.
I am less excited about the finale after reading that.
And yes, they really do both come across as a right couple of pricks.

That's like the only mystery I want to know about. How/who/why the statue and the temple and everything were built.

Me too. And the way I interpret that interview is that it's not going to be touched upon at all. Really disappointing.
I'm also really annoyed they're not going to explain the outrigger shooting. It was obviously never going to be anything important in the grand scheme of things, but it was, for some reason, a loose thread that had stuck with me. Terrible storytelling.

That's one of the little things that actually does warrant an explanation, IMO.

Of course, there's always the possibility that they're just trying to throw us off and that it will indeed be covered in the finale after all. I am doubtful at best though :sadgreen:

The sad reality is many of these mysterious were suspense devices to get ppl to watch, had no real meaning or impact on the ending, either that or they were part of a direction that they abandoned.
While I found the write as you go improvisation interesting, in the end it got out of control, making an unwieldy mess from which there wasn't any coherent way to put it together. They're left with either spending the remaining time pulling answers out of their ass or only answering the questions which are relevant to their chosen ending. One can see they chose the latter.
You can't help feel a little angry but I've seen this coming for a while and have lowered my expectations accordingly.

I felt pretty early on that Abrams was taking a page from X-files (before copying the entire book by making Fringe) and worked on the 'one question answered, three more asked' approach.

I found this one took the cake:
Okay, you've now said at a couple of points here that you're not going to reveal the name of the Man in Black. Is there a significance to that, or you've just decided you prefer the air of mystery it gives the character to not give him a name?
CC: I think for us to explain why we're not giving him a name veers too far into the territory of explaining things that we don't feel the need to explain.
