Lost Alternate Endings, Lost Re
view; After watching the final episode of Lost, it seems highly unlikely that the executive producers ever considered ending the show other than with the final shots they used.
Once you saw it, it didn’t come as a big surprise that the alternate endings that were promoted for Jimmy Kimmel Live were jokes. However, they were well-done, poked fun at two of the most famous series finales in TV history, and are worth watching.
After “Lost” took its final bow during a special two-and-a-half-hour series finale event on Sunday night, several “cast and crew members appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to commemorate the show’s legacy, discuss some of the events that transpired during the episode and debut three alternate endings.
The final alternate ending evoked the classic conclusion to “Newhart,” complete with Bob Newhart waking up from a dream only to find himself in bed next to Evangeline Lilly.
Kimmel closed out the hour on a serious note, thanking the cast and crew of “Lost” for contributing to one of the single most memorable television events of the decade.
