ThurmanMunster Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 um the finale was fucking amazing... Life is a journey. Just because your journey ends doesn’t mean it ends for others. Lost focused on Jack’s perspective. It began and ended with him. Just because he died, doesn’t mean that the others died as well. As Christian said, everyone dies, some earlier than you (Shannon, Sayid, Sun, Jin), some later (all of those who escaped on the plane). All of them faced a similar welcoming at the end. It was after they had all joined together (died) that they entered the afterlife together. Life is a process of weighing right and wrong. It’s a constant struggle, and the battle between MiB and Jacob illustrates that. There are always going to be others who oppose you. You are always an other yourself. The island was real, but the flash sideways was just a form of all of them reuniting upon their respective deaths. Here despite time they could transcend time together. In life we are lost, but in death we are found, by discovering what the journey really meant and those that meant the most to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though [/quote] way wrong. the island, flashbacks and flashforwards were real. the sideways story was where they went once they died and put their memories together so they could learn to let go and move on.

Jim Finklestein Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I LOVED the ending. By far the best series finale I have ever seen. Thurman has it right. The Island really happened. Christian says at the end there is no "time" here, here being the sideways flash. The sideways flash was a place for them to meet and move on to whatever follows. Since time doesn't exist there, it seems to us like it all happens at once, but as Thurman points out, some die before, and some after Jack. One of the most moving pieces of tv work I have EVER seen. While I will definitely miss Lost, this was the way to end it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an amazing finale up until the last 5 minutes. I didn't hate the ending, completely understand it and why they did it, but don't LOVE it. Maybe because I envisioned it ending another way. I was kind of hoping they'd all end up back on the island living in the Dharma Barracks together, lol. I suppose that COULD have been the next scene by the way they ended it. They did all end up together in the end, which was nice. I think its an ending that I'll appreciate more once I watch it again. No complaints at all on how the on-island story ended. It was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I mean, yeah, I get it …the whole show was a character study so it was fitting that it ended with a final goodbye for the characters …I just was hoping there'd be a little more clarification on "the island" as a character … In the end, it doesn't really matter how the island worked or why it was there as far as the characters went …but that doesn't make me want those answers any less! Now that I've had some time to ponder it, I guess it really was a decent end of the show (loved the finale up until the last 20 minutes), but all the time I spent wondering about numbers, electromagnetic radiation, time travel, moving the island, good and evil, smokey in general, whether or not the cork was a Rembaldi artifact, four-toed Egyptians, basically the whole island mythology in a nutshell, was for naught. Kinda disappointing from a geek's standpoint ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sue ABC my hourly wage x that amount [/quote] Haha - na, I'd settle for a redo of the last season. This entire season long flash-sideways storyline existed only to culminate the tale in some sort of "everybody's happy" blubberfest of a final scene? WTF? Take away that entire portion of the final season (as it is revealed to have squat to do with anything regarding the island anyway) and what you're left with is a buildup to Jack uncorking/recorking the wine bottle and getting in a disappointing fistfight with Mr Smokey for destiny of the island. What??? With the island's eminent demise why was Lock just standing there anyway? The early questions of this show far out-intrigued the meager answers provided. The writers pandered to a typical tear-drop finale when they could have blown some minds. Sans the Richard Alpert episode I don't think they delivered what the early seasons promised. You may now resume your Lost apologist reach-around fest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmanMunster Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 the only thing id like to know is someones theory on Ben not joining them. he obviously knew what was going on but was he just not ready to let go? let go of what? seems like all he had was the trust/respect hugo gave him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he had a few things to work out which im guessing was to help Alex and maybe Rousseau remember and iron things out with them so that he could "let go". Thats just how it seemed to me.

Alex and Danielle didn't go with the group because they didn't really mean a lot to the group, specifically Jack, so Ben chose to stay with them for awhile until he felt he had redeemed himself.

Bengals1181 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 so some guy named Corey Vidal, I guess who's made a bunch of stuff on youtube and other places, made a 6 minute short about Lost, that takes place after the end of the show. It's not anything great, or official, but he was able to use the real Lost sets and the Lost music.
