My last take on LOST

I still haven't seen half of the last show, but I figure I will someday. I walked into a party late, higher than anything in the world from that feeling you get when the best thing just happened to you. I had just played an incredible show for a personal record of spectators. I got some new precious stones to keep up my energies and whatnot - there was absolutely nothing that could bring me down. Not a stupid ending to a show I admired and cared about, not the negative attitudes of some of my bitching friends, nothing. - I was on top of the world that night.
That said, I didn't give the show much of a mental digestion. It didn't deserve one.
It reminded me of the Packers/ Cardinals playoff game earlier this year. Overtime, the Packers driving, Rodgers drops back, pressure coming, he is hit, grabbed by the face mask for an obvious penalty to advance the ball- but it didn't happen that way. The call wasn't made, a fumble was recovered, and the game was over before there was even a chance to understand what just happened. That's it. It was over. It happened, there was an obvious foul of the ages, but an instant later and the season was lost and the network train had already left the station to promote the next big game. Could you figure it out if you hopped on that train? Why would you? It was over. Just like LOSt. There can me many question that come to many people's minds, but actually there was only ONE question remaining...How will you react?
Will you see the injustice and get all Lou Ferigno and beat your wife and fill up the battered women's shelter in Green Bay and go to the bar and pick a fight and carry a field of negative energy around you contaminating your environment for you and your friends?
It's a game. It's a show. I watched the whole season, I rooted and cheered, I showed up on time, I high five my friends, I talked about it when it wasn't on, but it is just a silly game after all- it is just a silly TV show after all. You have to carry some expectations when you become emotional about something you can't control. Expect to be let down, to be disappointed, (in LOST case, expect that it is after all we want to think it was, it is still a program on major network TV show that will push ideology and whatever they want to sell you- it is programing...programing you)
The next Monday in each case, I moved on. I'm not going to sit and listen to the pundits, I don't care. It's done, and it's time to move on. It was over the instant it was over and to continue to bring it up in your mind is very un-zen like. Especially getting all pissed off about it, what's the point of that? It's just a game, it's just a show. TV sucks and we all know it, why would we think that it wouldn't? There are new moments to appreciate or bitch about. Lets live those moments and never watch TV again.

ps. Also one thing that always bothered me since I began watching in season 4 - The I ching symbol that is used as the "Dharma" logo. This instantly struck me as daft and offended me. "Dharma" is Sanskrit. It comes from the subcontinent of INDIA, not China. It means "the work" that is done in a spiritual sense and applies to Hindi and Buddhism. The I Ching symbol is fucking Taoist. It has nothing to do with Dharma. Unless you are like, "oh, it's one of those eastern things- all Chinese people look alike and they all have the same weird religion." Will anyone ever see the I Ching symbol and NOT think "Dharma" for Jesus Christ sake? can we- folks who try to really understand the meaning of patterns and shapes and relationship to the human gestation period and cosmic movement - can we please have our symbol back with out someone calling it fucking "Dharma?" Can "Dharma" continue to remain a word that inspires sacred thought and non- attachment and not be a brand name for corn flakes and ranch dressing? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
