Daniel_B Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I watched the pilot, and never missed an episode in the 6 years that followed, and I loved the finale. On one hand, I was a little disappointed this season with some of the answers that we did get ( "See that light in that cave? The most important job in the world is to make sure it doesn't go out." ), but I'd kinda gotten prepared for the fact that a lot of the mysteries weren't going to be solved. The thing that was really important on the show were the characters and their personal journies, not who built the statue or why Smokey couldn't sail off the island. And after all, it was a fantasy/sci-fi show--did we really expect logical answers to these things that would make perfect sense? And yes, I agree with the interpretation that they survived the plane crash, and everything that happened on the island was real, and really happened to them. The only characters who actually died last night were Jack and Smokey. Hurley, Ben, Desmond, and the 6 people who escaped on the airliner survived, and presumably lived happily for many years after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frankv74 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I was so LOST when i watched this show then the Cast was. and this is why i never saw the show. Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) One of the best shows ever made. The finale was absolutely terrible, I wished I had stopped at last week's episode. I just wanted some answers, not a made-up, feel-good, inconsistent theology. Brian Edited May 25, 2010 by Camus272 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 What wasn't answered for you ? I think some things should be left ambiguous ... And any show that covers life and death like LOST has, how could it not have some sort of theology ? Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier01 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If anything, I wish I could unwatch it. I want those hours I spent actually watching back, they could have been used far more productively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mingwin Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) to my theological knowledge, they all dies in first crash! on the very first episode! and the island was there purgatory. an outter dimensionnal purgatory(like if you where dying in the Bermuda's triangle) they never ever leave in any way or any manner in any season... they just tought they did. if you watch carefully every episodes of every season there's a lots of clues all the way... but as caracters couldnt figure it out... you don't wanted to... that's why some wheelchair guy walk again on the island... that Walt was soooo special (and what he wished could happened) that's why no women could give birth on the island... no one is aging on the island... and deads coming back, time to time... and it is an endless listing of facts that pointed out in that diection... when you die, you may feel a little confused and Lost. if you don't realise your dead, you'll think your still living... in some manner... Lapidus was flying original oceanic flight. when he dies in the crash, he continues living in his mind... his only way to do so is to denie facts, and create-believe a new life... in wich he was replaced by someone else... but he can't escape the purgatory... so he came again... in a chopper... and then again in an other season with some other caracters... (Jack felt as bad when he escape the island... (as Neo in the matrix felt that there was something wrong with the world he's living in...) that's also why hugo sees charlie when they escape... and so on) Lost Finale was Awsome to me. as it was exactly what i was expecting from the very beginning! there is only one way out of purgatory, and it's not getting back with the Livings!

KevinS Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Did anyone see the three alternate endings,I didn't? They weren't real endings. Just parodies. http://www.docarzt.com/lost-news/jimmy-kim...e-lost-endings/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camo Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Loved Lost until this last season.It started getting too far out there for me. It deviated so far from what the story started out as that I lost interest in the show. I thought the ending was terrible, although to be honest I have no idea how it could have all been explained to where it made sense anyways. Only show that had a worse ending was probably the Sopranos. Kinda glad it's over. And that hurts me to say because I used to love Lost. Just in regards to the sopranos finale, for me, at first, I was a little dissapointed with the ending, then I found this Sopranos Finale Analysis. After reading that, It has probably become my favourite tv show finale ever. But keeping on topic, I was kinda peeved with the finale, I get the whole thing about the second timeline being purgatory....thats cool and all, but it only sums up the second timeline which occurred only during the final season. Doesn't give us any more answers about the island or anything... too many loose ends. That said though, I did enjoy the series, just would have liked a bit more from the ending.

And any show that covers life and death like LOST has, how could it not have some sort of theology ? Gregg Well, I have a list of 2-3 dozen questions I wanted answered. I saw one person had a list of 62, all of which seemed reasonable. Some of them could have been left alone , but there were big ones like what would happen if MIB left the island. They never got close to answering that. Also , the omniscient ability of Eloise was never explained. There were also scenes the writers threw in knowing we would expect them to return to it, Libby's story & the outrigger shootout for example. I could go on and on. As for life and death, I'm all for the redemption elements of the storyline. But some kind of transcendent construct that people go to when they die? Come on that sounds like a bad Syfy movie. And then people have to wait for all of there facebook friends to show up and then remember that they were friends and then they can move on the afterlife- whatever that is. I don't care, it had nothing to do with the show and nothing to do with the island. Furthermore it was an inconsistent theology, I could find holes in it all day long, but I don't have time for that here. Brian Edited May 26, 2010 by Camus272 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That wasn't what happened, as explained in dialogue in the finale which stated that it was all real and what happened, happened. They all died when they died, and met in a timeless place. The writers have said all along the island wasn't purgatory, but apparently they ran with that idea for the last 10 minutes. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for life and death, I'm all for the redemption elements of the storyline. But some kind of transcendent construct that people go to when they die?

Daniel_B Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 So did they ever explain how Hurley remained as big as he did over 6 years on the island? Yeah: because he didn't spend 6 years on the island. :) The first 4 seasons took place over 108 days, and the last 2 seasons covered maybe 2 or 3 weeks (on-island time)...
