SPOILERS BELOW

The episode is called The End. And that’s what it is. It’s the end of Lost. It’s the end of the survivors. They’re all dead now. If you’ve been following season 6, you’re familiar with the “sideways flashes” – they are  showing us our favorite Losties “getting ready to move on.” The sideways flashes illustrates the “after-life”, what happens after you die, but before you really move on. Everything on the Island happened. They didn’t die in the crash. There’s no hocus pocus here, they died when they died. Jack died on the island, in the last episode, watching the plane with Claire, Sawyer and Kate leave. Claire, Sawyer and Kate all died at a later time.(Unknown when, how, where) Hurley did too, the same with Ben.(also unknown how, where, when) This is pretty much explained by Jack’s father in his “Everyone dies some time, kiddo. Some of them before you, some of them long after” speech. The purpose of the After-Life is to realize that you are dead. To accept it, and to move on. Jack is the last one to do so.

Now, they’ve pretty much explained what happened to the people. But the island? Seriously? WTF?

Here’s a quick recap. The island has a cave in the middle of it. It is a life-giving cave, with a very bright light in it. In the center of the cave there’s a tiny pool where the bright light shines its brightest. This is the very heart of the island. This illuminated pool has a cork in its middle. Remove the cork, the island goes bye-bye – it’s destroyed. But if you hurry and re-insert the cork, the island will survive. Yes. A magnificent, glorious, magical Cork. Huh.

All in all, the ending was a decent way to say that enough is enough. It was six, more or less, great years. I liked the human aspect of the ending. Everything concerning the island itself was just silly. But in the end, the show is great, and I doubt that there will ever be such a show as Lost – that manages to keep me around for six long years.

Six seasons. Six years. The journey is what made Lost great, not its flaws,dead ends or unanswered questions. Lost is no more.

Thanks.

Madagascar
Animated Animal Madness. Marty, a zebra in a New York Zoo, yearns for the Wild. Cue his best friend Alex the lion, Ross Geller the giraffe and a very big hippo! I’m a sucker for anything animated, if someone animated Days of Our Lives I’d watch every episode. The same goes for Madagascar – if you love animated stuff watch it. If not – stay clear. It’s not very good. It has its moments of comedy gold, but overall it’s nothing more than “ok”. A sequel is in the making, and hopefully we’ll see more of The Penguins, by far the funniest animals of Madagascar. In fact, the extra stuff, featuring the penguins, on the dvd is better than the movie itself. 6/10

The Mist
“Stephen King’s The Mist” Oh, Stephen King. I haven’t read a single word you’ve ever written, but you’re supposedly an awesome author. Based on all those movie adaptions of your books I’d say “Meh”. However, after watching The Mist, I’m convinced! This was better than I’d thought. Also, Marcia Gay Harden did a great job as the Religious Wacko. I seriously wanted her to die, and when she was shot I was fucking thrilled. I’ve never been so glad to watch someone die in a movie before. It was awesome. At times, the movie was awesome as well. However, there are too many unanswered questions and the ending is horrid at best, but it did restore my faith in old people. (Watch it and you’ll understand) 7/10

Cloverfield
From Lost creator JJ Abrams comes Cloverfield. A Sci-Fi action thriller set in New York. Cloverfield continues the trend of the Blair Witch Project with its “handy-cam” filming. Through the entire movie we follow the recordings of Hud as he and a couple of friends fights for their survival through the chaos of a New York under attack. Something big landed in New York and it was pissed. As with The Mist, lots of questions remain unanswered, but the dish we’re served is excellent. The cgi was amazing and the camera style worked out really well. Atleast for me. Lots of people are however saying they feel nauseous after watching it, that’s understandable as it is pretty hectic at times. I’m very glad I didn’t see this at the silver screen, that might’ve been a little too much. Loved every second of it though. 8/10

That’s that. Sorry for the lousy norwenglish, and for the horrible title. I should’ve gone to bed three hours ago. Here – accept my humble offering of Penguin Waffles and all shall be forgiven!
