Perhaps you meant to say 'worse off', but if you truly meant to imply better and worse in some sort of moral sense, I would agree that grace is meant to be internalized and transform us and make us into better persons. How very Catholic of you!
The so-called "good" are allowed into heaven because of the "good" works they eventually did, even to the point of sacrificing themselves for the sake of others. Death is, once again, The Great Equalizer, and everybody except poor old Ben gets to go there regardless of how they lived their lives.
Without Christ, all are "Lost", regardless of the good they did or did not do.Last edited by mossrose; 01-03-2015, 01:20 PM.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostLost is much more a serialized, single story arc type show. There's one terrible episode I can think of that didn't follow that rule (a couple of dimwit greedy thieves that we've never really encountered before look for money and get whats coming to them). The Pretender was sort of a procedural, wasn't it? It might have had a story arc in the background, but each show solves a specific case. I think I watched a few episodes when it first came on, but I got bored of it. Too much like Quantum Leap, or any of the myriad other shows that attempt to do the same type of thing. I mean, cool concept, but I'm so spoiled by serialized TV now, that I can't go back to freak of the week type stuff. The exception is Blacklist, which I wasn't really into, but somehow I accidentally got my mom and dad into it. The story arc is much closer to the forefront in that show, but its still a procedural.

I liked the show. Unanswered questions and messy unresolved things don't bother me that much. I liked the character interactions and dynamics. The plot was a bit convoluted but I don't think that should stop someone from watching it to see if they like it or not."Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostThey said from the start that they knew exactly where they were going and that it would only be 6 seasons. They had the plot and the resolution in mind all along.
I remember sort of huddling over in a corner with a couple of execs, and they were saying, ‘It's going to be OK, but don't expect anything big to happen. ABC has had a hard time launching shows, 8 p.m. is the family hour, and it has no lead in.' And I remember feeling just tremendous relief over the course of this conversation because my fantasy was that would be this kind of culty 13 episodes and out show. Maybe like a Firefly. That was really the trajectory that I was hoping for.That first season, really creatively, we weren't able to do any advance work until the first season ended, because we had a tiger by the tail. And because JJ and I had met so late in the game and put the pilot together so quickly and it was greenlit without a script, blah blah blah. This sense that the audience was feeling that we were making it up as we were going along was a very real feeling and I was the one that was like, ‘Now there is so far to fall.'Last edited by Adrift; 01-03-2015, 08:55 PM.
