why would you pay for media? what the gently caress. is this 1978? to use this "link," "click" on it with your "mouse" http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search.html/?format=html&default_prefix=all&sort_order=downloads&query=barsoom

Kirk posted:lost owned until like season 3 but they kept stringing you along making it seem like all would be revealed lost wasnt about some planned out story, it was a writing experiment to see if characters are more important than plot when it comes to tv. turns out they are (duh). They built a core character set that was easy to follow and then put them into interesting situations. There was no plan so dont worry about it if some things are wierd. They just went season to season thinking up interesting things to do with the characters and to see if they could tie it all together. in the end they couldnt, but its still pretty fun to watch.

lost: hey guys, we don't even need to try to write consistent good stories any more! we can just throw audiences a random stream of poo poo and they'll eat it all up just the same as long as they like the characters!

the season long stories were pretty good imo. it only started to fall off at the end when they had to try to wrap everything up. i think it would have been better if they had just ended it abruptly instead.

still wishing they had gone for the joop endingquote:On the May 4, 2007 podcast, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse joked that Joop was their solution to ending the show, should it be abruptly cancelled. The final scene would be a cut to a desk and a leather chair, which would turn to reveal Joop saying, "Hello I'm Joop. I bet you're wondering who I am," with a pipe in his mouth. Joop would then proceed to explain all of the Island's mysteries in a crisp and satisfactory fashion.

poty posted:if you can read while working out youre not working out right Sure you can, if you're bouncing around like all your limbs are a different length on the elliptical you're doing it wrong (there's a girl at the gym in the morning that looks exactly like this image). I can't read on the treadmill, but reading on the elliptical/stair master/stationary bike is doable.

lost had a dumb ending but it wasnt terrible b/c i mean how are you gonna wrap up a bunch of disjointed stories like that. BSG had a dumb ending, but it was a bad show for most of its run so a bad ending fit the show just fine.

i enjoyed both lost and bsg endings. not in a "best ending ever" way but in a "its nice to see things wrapped up" way. even if they weren't wrapped up in the absolute perfect way everyone wanted to see. jeez it's just a tv show!!! i also liked the seinfeld ending and i seem to remember liking the x-files ending

axolotl farmer posted:Worst final episode: Lost or Battlestar Galactica? i'd say lost just because the dropoff in quality, and hence the disappointment, was so abrupt. lost stayed pretty entertaining to me all the way through, and even up until ~15 minutes from the end of the last episode i thought they were building toward a fairly interesting conclusion and then WHAMMO bsg was basically a long slow slide from being pretty amazing mid-season 3 down to a sad wet farting noise at the end

also Lost had some pretty satisfying mystery conclusions but a lot of them were exclusively online like there was a pretty reasonable explanation (if not psuedosciency BS) for the numbers that i would have been happy with on the show, but it was buried deep within some lovely ARG
