 I'm just curious as to if those who liked Lost's ending, liked ME3's and vise versa.  More of a curiosity then anything.

Dont need to get into detail if you dont want to. Anywho, I'll start.

Lost ending: Disliked - I was always more interested in the questions lost gave, via scifi, then whether or not Jack dies happy, so it was a major disapointment.

ME3 ending: Dislike - I've explained it enough in a lot of topics...

Lost: somewhat liked (not loved, but after the first season I wasn't too big on Lost anyway).
ME3: Sheer, distilled, unadulterated hate.

[Dragoni89]

Lost- never liked the show, felt Americans were milking it just for money, which lead to the horrible ending I might add.

ME3 ending- disliked

[tractrpl]

I didn't like Lost's last two seasons.

[tiduspr]

I was a really big fan of Lost... up until the end.

There are no words to express just how much I hated the ending of Lost. I won't go into why, because then I'd never finish.

I hated the ME3 ending as well, and the first thing I could think of when I witnessed it was Lost: lots of things promised, and none were delivered.

Although I really hate the ME3 ending, it did not make me rage quite as much as Lost. The Lost time investment felt bigger than ME (even though I've played ME1 over 10 times). And, tbh, ever since the EA taking over Bioware announcement, I was aware that anything (bad) could happen. The Lost finale was just, unexpected as I really thought they would provide the answers they promised.

I was a bit bemused by Losts ending, and if they hadn't built it up as a question I probably wouldn't mind at all. It's not great, it's a bit silly, but frankly I'm not sure it mattered. At heart it was a character driven narrative and the resolution brought to (most of) the individuals was solid.

And did you like ME3's ending?

Yes.

I was satisfied with Lost's ending. I thought it was a little bit underwhelming but I still really liked it. They didn't answer a lot of the questions, but that wasn't the point, the way they showed all the character's reuniting and embracing each other was really emotional. Mass Effect 3's ending is a disgrace to the franchise.

[seedubya85]

lost's ending was 'we as writers cannot think of a way to explain everything, we sort of got our selfs into a deep hole with all the mystery, so we're gonna say use your imagine and kill everybody' so i didn't like that. me3's was similar, i didn't like it, although it didn't ruin the whole trilogy, like lost.

Would you have been fine with the ME3 endings if they just had character resolution then, but essentially kept the endigns as is?

You were not bothered that they left the scifi at the curb? What didnt you like the most about the ending to ME3?

[ElusiveMute]

I thought Lost's ending was good enough. It was dissapointing in terms of solving the mysteries but the closure for the characters was well done.

Mass Effect on the other hand dissapointed in both answering questions and closure for the characters.

[Huyna]

Did not care about Lost much, though two of my friends, a husband and wife, loved the show and disliked the ending. Not hated, though.

As of ME3 - strongly dislike the ending. As much as Star Trek:Enterprise final.

Sorry, I thought that was sort of a given.

No. And in it's case the ending mattered.

[CheeseEnchilada]

Lost: Hated the ending and abrupt shift in focus and themes (it's about the characters, not the island and mysteries!)

ME3: Hated the endings and abrupt shift in focus and themes (it's about the inevitability of synthetics killing organics, and by the way, pick a color?)

For me, Mass Effect is worse than Lost; at least in that ending, while it was irritating as all get-out, I had closure with the characters. I disliked the whole twist in the church at the end, but the series had a habit of introducing new plot twists that they didn't quite elaborate on, so it wasn't exactly a new thing. That, and Lost had Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson. I forgave just about all of the ridiculous things in that series just to see those two act.

I'd be able to handle it, but I'd still be extremely disapointed with the ending. I wasn't one of those people who watched Lost for the six or so years it was out, I actually watched it all in two months because I started the show a little after the final season began and caught up on the last few episodes. So I wasn't as invested in the show as some of the fans.

[Sabrestrikealpha]

I hated both. Ending a series with either "We were dead the whole time" or just . . . nonsense is not a good way to end a series.

I think there is an interesting discussion of this kind of stuff here:

http://www.aoltv.com...-r-martin-lost/

If you want to replace "Lost" with "ME3," I think that George R.R. Martin's responses pretty much capture how I felt about the ME series as a whole. Particularly the part where he says that going back and watching the series again would provide him with more frustration than pleasure.

[ScaredPeach]

I liked Lost because the ending was consistent with the entire series. They weren't just like "Ok, its been straightforward since now, so lets complete turn it on its head with some crazy twist." No, the whole Jacob-blank man thing can be attached to the entire series from begging to end.

I dont like the mass effect ending because they just sprung some crazy thing out of nowhere. In Lost I knew it was coming and wondering how it would be put together, happy or not; in mass effect I already knew what the ending would be (Reapers not a threat, duh) just not how they would go about it. The catalyst in the last 3 minutes is like if Lost did the entire Jacob plot-line in the very last episode, you need to establish something like that so the ending works.

Idunno, Lost just made it graceful. They have the artistic integrity card somehow while Bioware really doesn't.

Lost's ending made me question a lot of things, but it was a fitting ending. The whole side flashes of them being dead the entire time and in purgatory was really genius writing.

I had man tears when Sawyer and Julliette remember each other.


Ya, it sucks we didn't get closure on what happened after they left the island for good and it sucks who didn't leave the island. But still the show was more cerebral than anything, so the ending kind of fits.

[Virginian]

I didn't like Lost ever.

[anlk92]

Hated both of them but Lost was going downhill for a long time. It was inevitable for it to crash. As for Mass Effect 3, everything was going more or less smoothly when for some reason Bioware decided to send it off a cliff.
