Television Getting in to LOST again.
Anathema- replied to Anathema-'s topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Right, and looking at lindelof's post-lost work it's obvious that the show belongs much more to him than anyone else. Anyway, show absolutely stuck the landing not sure how you could say otherwise. And just because they had plans they needed to change doesn't mean they didn't always know where they were going. The only other alternative was that they wrote a multi year serial story that includes foreshadowing just by the seat of their pants. No, they talked many times about knowing where they were going but had to change how they got there. They also talked about how the show went from open ended to closed halfway through and yes you can see the seams where that was supposed to happen. But the whole deal with the two island brothers, what the island is and why people are there, and the guiding moral code are all incredibly consistent from beginning to end. -
The wife decided to finally watch it. We got through the whole thing and started watching again. You and I can argue whether this is the greatest TV show of all time, that's fair. What's undeniable, though, is how obvious it is that the show was planned out from the beginning. A couple random skeletons have nothing to do with it either. The first real episode of the show is named Tabula Rasa. Locke describes the whole plan to kill Jacob in metaphor. Literally everyone clearly demonstrates the character problems that define them for six full seasons and character arcs all revolve around the same moral structure. There are lots of problems and it did have a bad habit of asking some questions it wasn't prepared to answer. But even with all its real flaws it was just one of the first victims of toxic fandom. Too many people saying that their fanfic not becoming reality was evidence of bad writing. Only show that holds a candle to LOST is BSG. I cried at the finale all over again.

Sorry I have no advice; nothing worked for me until it did. Maybe that's the only advice anyone can give.

Not every classified document is serious. Many are serious enough that the government always knows where they're at. These ones were forgotten about.

You're doing great. Tell yourself that and keep telling yourself that until you can't think anything else. I'm not kidding even a little bit. -

Feeling like a failure can be a normal healthy thing because it's always pushing us to do better. Unless it's not then that feeling is harmful. People get sick. Accidents happen. Unless you've got some magic cat healing wand then not everything is your responsibility and the worst thing you can do is take a person who cares deeply for animals and make sure they hate themselves for it (I mean you). Not to say it doesn't, won't, or can't hurt. But it will do all those things eventually, even if you were to "perfectly" take care of your friend. My best friend's cat had to be put down a couple years back. In some ways she was my cat too. I gotta tell you that you still feel the same helplessness and wish you could do more even if the cat is 21 years old. It's okay to grieve, even if everything turns out okay. Just don't blame yourself. -

You're definitely absolutely not a shitty owner. In fact you're taking care of your friend the best you can. You won't regret anything you've done to help, that's for sure. How could you be a bad friend? I wish my words would bring more luck. I've been there twice too recently myself, find it hard to talk about, and wouldn't wish it on anybody. I hope your friend pulls through. -
