Prince Machiavelli himself couldn't have orchestrated a more murderous coup!

What the hell is this?

The last few weeks has proven to be a renaissance period for the 3184 blog. Our output is high and we were working on our quality control issues.

And now this.

I wake up excited to see the new argument of the day and find a explanation of why lost ended poorly written by doc. I will ignore the fact that this is not a direct argument as one could argue it ended well. Although I would hate to meet such a person as they probably are dumb like a brick or something. However, that is not the issue at hand. The issue is that this post, by Doc, is almost exactly like an e-mail I sent him on May 24, 2010. I was so outraged about the terrible ending that I wrote an e-mail to him about it. I was amazed to find that we agreed. Well, apparently we agreed so much that he pretty much stole the e-mail word for word and published it on the blog under his own name. Just to put everything on the table, here is a copy of my exact e-mail to Doc during those depressing days after the horrible lost season finale:

well, the more i think about the lost finale the more annoyed i get. If the ending was to be that they all went to heaven in a little row boat that is fine, but the problem is that this does not even make sense with the rest of the episode. Over the credits they showed the wreckage of flight 815 with no survives. The only explanation this could mean is that there were no survivors. If there were no survivors that means that they died several times. People died in the plane crash, then on the island again, then moved on from an alternate reality where things were perfect for them to heaven. How can someone die twice? Does this mean that the island was purgatory? One of the things that the producers clearly state was not the ending. Furthermore, why were there only certain people in the church? This can not all be blamed on casting as Anna Lucia was in the previous episode and not in this one. Unfortunately, all of this negates one of the most impressive scenes this season, when Eloise was trying to convince Desmond not to change the alt reality. What has happened is clear, the writers had to end the show and if they said they wanted to end it on their own terms they would not have to admit that they were making it up the whole time. They gave an ending that would guarantee to satisfy some (all of them going to heaven) and put holes in this so others can make up a theory if they did not like the ending. I can even do this myself! If i had to find some logic in the ending, even though I was unhappy with the heaven storyline I would look to hurly. Hurly became the protector of the island and now can make any rules he want (just like jacob) and his rule was that he wanted everyone who died to be happy (he is such a sweet guy) so he e the rule that when u die on the island you get to live out ur fantasies before going to heaven. See, it is easy with the fractured pieces they gave us to make up anything we want with the finale if we were unsatisfied. If i had to apply logic to the story to make sense of it myself i would have much preferred it ended last season. The bomb went off and killed everyone. Even if it did erase the island from the post-1970s world, all of our characters present there would still die because as miles said "we can all die because this is our present." The crew in present day could not have been there since the island blew up and they just ceased to exist based on a time anomaly. I prefer this ending as the show has yet to jump from the logic train yet and it is nice and ironic that jacob and mib's games to try to prove the true nature of man end up destroying their home. Since season 6 does not exist here, we can simply say that jacob and mib were two supernatural being (aliens or gods are fine) who have been playing a game for centuries trying to decide about the nature of humanity. The conclusion to this bet is that humans are a mixed breed and these gods are no better than the humans in regards to morals as they are playing with people's lives. The point of making a TV show is to make money. You want the show to exist as long as it was profitable. The ratings were going down every season since the 1st one. The plan was to keep making mysteries so ppl stay with the show and to give it momentum and keep it on the air. The producers knew that the ratings were dropping off so they made a deal to end the show and slapped on a happy ending, very sloppily. Unfortunately, i think i was the victim of the long con. Lost gave us some unforgettable scenes so i appreciate that. However, the ending was a complete cop out and they had plenty fo time to give us a reasonable explanation that i could hold onto and point to and say, "see this is what happened in this show, the story has reached a conclusion and the plot makes sense." All i can say now is that i was correct in saying that those two executive producers were indeed cocky, annoying and did not end the show well. The worst thing is that not i have to tell lisa bro rob that he was right....they just made it all up as they went along Reply Reply to all Forward

I have even kept in all the inbox and reply all to prove this was in an e-mail. Doc, in the words of the best classic sitcom, you got a lotta 'splaining to do.

I wonder if I can sue him for intellectual property theft. If there are any lawyers who read this blog please let me know if you would be willing to represent me. Also, if your a lawyer, why are you reading this stupid blog? Your not getting paid to go on the Internet. Go right up a brief or something. I'm serious, go! You're still here? Jeez, I didn't go to law school because I assumed being a lawyer was hard. I guess you proved me wrong. Stupid lawyers.

P.S. Yes, I realize the irony of me stealing a quote from the show Stella as the title of the post to complain about Doc stealing my intellectual property.
