According to one report there were about 45 minutes of commercials during last night's two and a half hour "Lost" finale. I know the 30-second skip button on the remote got quite a workout as I skipped over commercials on the DVR. I tried to start watching at about 9:45 so the show would still end by 11:30. However even then I noticed that the progress bar was beginning to catch up with last recorded position.
For those of you who haven't watched yet then I suggest you wait to read the rest of my post. For those who have I'll continue below. . . . . . . . I sum up the ending as "they all died happily ever after." So what's up with these series (as BSG also did) winding up on a religious note? Shall we expect that Jack Bauer will suddenly get religion at the end of tonight's "24" finale? Or is this a conspiracy by the NWO as they attempt to manufacture the apocalypse in time for 2012? I agree with one review is the show could have wound up a little early with Jack saving the island by putting the plug back in. The rest was just a soppy reunion.
