So it stopped all the magic shit on the island except for Jack's power to transfer guardianship powers to Hugo? Oooooooooookay........ Nothing at all inconsistent or illogical about that.
i love how flustered you're getting about the mythical powers of island guardianship, and the rules of transferals in such cases. like, you're willing to accept all that, but then get caught up in the "what about this, section 4.815 (yeah) clearly indicating the..."
you keep getting angry because you think things are "breaking the rules", but they're only breaking
your rules about what you've inferred from the show. no one knows how the magical acts of island power can be transferred. the only bits of information we have to go on are the three times we've seen it done, all in the past three episodes. maybe you need the water flowing, maybe you don't. maybe there's something else at play. again, i can't say for certain, but i'd think my argument of "this is what happened in the show" is a bit stronger than your argument of "here, check out these sketches i made the night before"
But, dang it, who would have thought that after watching a show for 6 years the "big pay off" was in fact an explanation of something that they only introduced 18 episodes ago and very little about the stuff from the first five seasons?
what was the big pay off? and what was the one you were looking for?
i saw a complete arc of a buncha characters, whose storyline (for me) started on an island, had back story pre-and-post the island filtered in, then came full circle on, and for, the island. what am i missing?
They basically dropped, in the last season, almost everything about the actual premise of the show: Plane crashes on a freaky island and strange shit happens to them which continually gets stranger every single goddam episode.
we got exactly that. intertwined with "earth two" clips. we presumed them to be an alternate reality, but through the season, saw flashes of how they were connected. then, boom, finale episode shows exactly where this "earth two" came from, and that it wasn't a flash sideways or alternate world at all - it was their futures.
again, to me, that sounds pretty par for the course with lost. y'gotcher weirdo stuff, your creepy stuff, your faith, your good vs. bad, etc. all while telling stories of reg'lar folks.
