Lost

[CrabHelmet]

Should be an interesting finale.

[Phantom Roxas]

Possibly. My only fear is that J.J. Abrams will leave several things unclear even with the finale's 2 1/2 hour running time and later use Shrug of God to declare that severals things are to be left up to us.

Well, "Jacob did it" and "Esau did it" are decent answers to pretty much every minor questions. Still, I do worry that they're not going to explain the significance of Walt, the significance of Aaron, and the Pregnancy Equals Death thing.

 

I'm not terribly keen on Jacob, especially with Across The Sea showing him to be a dull sheep prone to violent outbursts and the parallel universe showing virtually everyone to be better off without his meddling (his comment about choosing people because they're flawed and unhappy doesn't stand up very well when he's the reason they're so flawed and unhappy), so I do hope they pull a twist that reveals that, yeah, Jacob isn't really a Big Good.

I hated the Finale. I HATED it. So unsatisfying, imo. >.>

[CrabHelmet]

The finale was too drawn out (they spent about an hour just on people waking up in the flash-sideways - YES WE GET THE IDEA THANK YOU STOP WASTING TIME), the victory was rather anticlimactic, and no real answers were given (besides the one at the end).

The fact is, I called that about 3 months ago while I was discussing the show with some friends. They could have shortened the whole finale into about an hour and still had the exact same effect, plus answered some actual mysteries.

I just watched the Finale 7 Hours ago.It actually didn't give much answers but i must admit the ending was too emotional.It really got me in a weak spot how they all reunited and the Light shined so bright it just really got to me.

[Mehmani]

Finale was bullshit. Absolutely awful. It actually made things even more confusing.

[~Ultimate Future Weapon~]

i liked the first season the ones after that were S***

[Master of Chaos™]

Actually yes i was confused in the end because i don't get it what did they all die or did only he die i really didn't get it.

[GraveHorizon]

I thought the finale was okay. Some stuff was confusing, like the fact that the sideways world was... the afterlife? Or was it? I liked the parts where everyone remembered everything, especially Claire and Charlie.

The flash-sideways was the basis of the ending because it's where everyone was reaching to - that Church. Linus didn't want to go in, because he couldn't let go of his "demons" yet, the things that the Lost characters were suffering from, during that time. But that Church acts as the connection between these lonely and flawed people, who finally were able to die with the ones important to them - the people of Oceanic 815.

 

I felt that they didn't need the answer any of the other questions, because we can form them for ourselves. Plus, they don't even matter anymore now that we know that the island they were all in, the places they all went, were just a journey in their afterlives - it wasn't really there.

Only Jack died immediately; Hurley' date=' Ben, and the people on 316 all survived. However, everybody dies [i']eventually[/i].

What? No, the island and everything were real - only the flash-sideways timeline was in the afterlife. Hence Hurley's conversation with Ben about being a great number two and number one.

 

And while some questions you can come up with explanations for if you try - for example, the psychic saw a future in which Aaron was raised by another and in which bad stuff happened, so he got the cause and effect confused and tried to make Claire raise Aaron in the hopes that that would negate the bad stuff - but others are just not explained at all - for example, why the pregnant women kept dying.

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

Ah, that makes more sense. But I'm still on the page where once you get over your worries and frustrations is when you go into the Church, where Ben still had to think things through like he said - probably still feeling guilty over the death of Alex, etc. And I feel the choice of Hurley and Ben being the protectors of the island was a more interesting choice then Jack, as the Man in Black said, Jack was too obvious.

 

I believe that the pregnant women died because of the electromagnetisum. I have no clue how, but I believe it has something to do with it.

 

And the light in the center of the island, I clarified, is how all the abnormal things were able to happen on the island - like the Man in Black's immortality and the electromagnets.

[Maz]

awesome tv show :)

[waterwhip]

i called it that they killed everyone

[CrabHelmet]

i called it that they killed everyone

 

They didn't kill everyone. Hurley' date=' Ben, Desmond, Rose, Bernard, Vincent, Miles, Lapidus, Claire, Kate, Sawyer, and Richard all survived. They were in the afterlife flash-sideways timeline because they died [i']eventually[/i], long after the events of the series.

 

You may as well claim that Harry Potter has a kill-'em-all ending on the grounds that it's made clear several times that you can't cheat death and thus that everyone dies at some point.

Just need to say that I totally called this.

[~Shore]

Ugh, all my friends think everyone died too.

But yeah, they didn't, so that worked for me. But uh, after a six year run there's things that you don't give a sheet about. I pretty much consider the majority of seasons 1, 2 and parts of 3 to be total filler, so yeah, I don't really care about what happened in most of those episodes.

 

Still, the finale didn't actually feel that epic. And it could have used more character moments.

[-Athena-]

better be, all the other seasons were awesome

[Lazer Yoshi]

Call me wrong, but I think this is how Lost works out.

Everyone on the island from the crash is in the real world. However, the people back in city/civilization are in Purgatory.

It's hard to explain; as is the entire plot of Lost.

[~Red]

Only one abbreviation is needed to sum up this finale, 'WTF'. It barely gave answers to anything...

[~Shore]

It answered enough in that it provided resolutions for all the characters.

[GraveHorizon]

Jack is a doctor, goes to Australia to bring back his father's body, crashes on the island (I call it "Crazy sheet Island"), lives on th island, gets off the island eventually, goes back to the island, almost dies, replugs a hole, then dies (for real) shortly after. Cut to him on the plane before the crash in the Sideways-world. In this "reality" the plane doesn't crash, lands safely in LA, where Jack walks around, interacts with people he had met on the island in his previous life, then after a long while realizes he is dead. Now he can finally be with the rest of the people who were important to him in his life.

 

Everything up to the point where Jack lays down and dies on the island after saving it was real. It actually happened to him and everyone else. The Sideways-world started (for the island people) at the moment of the plane not getting sucked out of the air and onto the island, because the island didn't need to exist in that reality, them already being dead. Jack died after some people, and before others. When everyone died is unimportant, since all that mattered to everyone was that they could be together. Of course Jack is the last one to realize everything because... it's Jack. It always took him a little longer to accept most things. And everyone else who wasn't there was still working to be forgiven and get redemption in their own afterlife, just like Linus.

 

That's my interpretation.

[Felix]

Someone explain to me why the people that don't die are still supposedly in that church at the end. Miles and the pilot aren't there, did they not die?
