Sheesh. After missing the last 2 seasons thanks to a misaligned TV antennae I stop by to find out how it all ends and all I find are people who either aren't watching or are too busy crying to post anything. Pffft.

During the 2 hour review thingie, I think they explained that the numbers were just Easter eggs. Things to taunt us and to add a dimension to Hurley's character.

14. ""The End" worked." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-24-10 AT 02:02 AM (EST)I think I'm happy with the ending. Emotionally, it delivered, that's for sure. I loved the ending coming full circle with Jack closing his eyes after Vincent found him in the bamboo field. That was perfect. I also think that we got all the answers that the characters figured out. That reminded me of what I liked most of the first few seasons: We were really connected to the main characters because we were as lost as they were, we only knew what they knew. Then, slowly, some went in different directions and we started being disconnected from them. That's why the middle seasons weren't as great. In the end, I wanted to know about Walt, why women couldn't have babies, what was at the center of the island to give it and Jacob all those powers but then the characters themselves never learned every mystery of the island. The goal was to get off the island and to kill Smokey. The finale reconnected us to the characters. Some questions really don't need to be answered: Why Walt and Miles weren't in the church? Maybe they were still alive when Jack entered the church. Why were Walt's power not explained? Aside from the real life logistics, we were told that Walt wasn't what was expected, therefore, he wasn't Jacob's candidate. His story ended a long time ago even if we weren't ready to see it that way. To tell the truth, I was very worried that the Island would all be a dream and that everyone would end up living happily ever after in sideways world. That would have been the Dallas Shower scene equivalent. So, in the end, Sideways world happens sometimes in the future, well after Jack died, well after Kate, Sawyer and the others left the island and made it safely home, lived their lives and died. The only trouble I have really is Jack's son. The only thing I can figure is that Jack needed to see what kind of father he would be in order to come to terms with his own father which was the main thing that prevented him from letting go. Once he realized that he was more like his father that he knew but was still able to be a good dad, he made his peace and started on his way to letting go, seeing the light.

27. "RE: "The End" worked." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-24-10 AT 09:37 AM (EST)I agree Michel. Jack's son bothered me too. The only thing I can think of is that Jack kind of "created" him to help himself work through his problems which is what I think you said as well. As for Micheal and Walt well maybe they were not a part of Jack's heaven? Christian said these were the people that helped Jack during that time on the island which Jack felt was his greatest test. At first I could not understand Hawking with Desmond in this episode but I think she was concerned about him taking Daniel away from her little piece of heaven. Kind of explains also why Daniel, Charlotte, Miles, Lapidus were not in the church as well. This was Jack's story basically and who he needed to help him move on. I loved the flashes in the sideways world. Never thought I was a romantic but apparently I am. Cried at every single one of them. Loved the island story. Thought it moved at a breakneck speed. Still a little unsure though of what Ben, Locke and Jack were doing with Desmond. Why did they lower him in the first place? I even liked Kate in this episode. Loved her realization that Jack was not leaving. I also think that yes a lot is unanswered and it leaves me hopeful for other stories from the island. Edited to add: Just read a spoiler on Dark UFO that they were trying to put out the light because it would make Flocke mortal so they can kill him. They did but had to restart the light so the island would stop sinking. I still don't understand why Flocke was going along with it? So the island would sink? Did he not know he would be mortal?

40. "They all are dead" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-24-10 AT 12:17 PM (EST)Christian said "everybody dies sometimes". There was no past, present or future in the holding area. Some we saw die, others we did not. All were dead though including Walt, Aaron, Hurley, Ben. Hurely was not immortal. He could die just like Jacob and Jack could. They could live a long time though. To me it was implied that Hurley/ben stayed on the island for a long time in the scene outside the church but they did die. Edited because this was supposed to go under Hobbes post, not Michel's. Also Richard probably did not choose to be in that "church" much like Ben and the others that were not there. He probably was meant to be with Isabella.

24. "RE: I believe in..." |
Yep, when they fixed a crash landed plane with duct tape, I suspended all remaining disbelief, and just enjoyed the characters. I suppose you could say I've moved on to a Lost happy place, and am no longer fixated on stuff that just didn't matter in the end. Typically, I don't like sci-fi stories. I've never even seen Star Wars or Star Trek. Watching that stuff, for me, is like watching an unbelievable foreign film without subtitles. Yoda? Really. Anyway, I figure the reason I loved Lost was because the writing and characters always felt real, even when the stories couldn't be explained logically. I could probably find a bazillion plot holes in something like Star Wars, but that wouldn't matter to the people who love those characters. Once the duct tape came out, I gave up wanting answers for the unexplained. I realized that those things didn't really matter in the end.

59. "RE: I finally get it!" |
I had made a post the day before the Finale saying that with a little metaphorical duct tape and WD40 they could fix anything wrong with the LOST universe.So when they literally whipped out the duct tape I was ROFL. I don't read contemporary Sci-Fi, but when I was young I read almost all the classic Sci-Fi written between the 40's and the mid 60's. Great stuff. So I've read a lot of classic time travel stories, and the time travel didn't bother me. The happy departure lounge ending, blech. Sappy. Hated the idea that Hurley who died whenever had been hanging around waiting for someone who died long before him to figure out he was dead. In 2004 LA. Stupid stupid illogical idea of afterlife limbo. Jack dying, that was emotional for me, and for some reason, the Sawyer Juliet reunion got me.

62. "RE: I finally get it!" |
So when they literally whipped out the duct tape I was ROFL.Me too! They just had to intend that to be comedy. I knew to give up hope for answers as soon as I saw that damn tape. I'm still trying to hold on to my happy place ending, but I can certainly see how fans who spent so much time and emotion trying to figure out all those clues would be less than thrilled. What bugs me is that I feel TPTB kept promising that they would answer stuff, and in the end, the did not. Really, what was the point of putting all those crazy things in there, just to brush them off as nothing?!? I'm really trying not to think about it, and just cover my annoyance with a little duct tape.

63. "RE: I finally get it!" |
I'm with you, true.My personal way of dealing with it is to talk out my issues and that doesn't ruin it for me. That's how I come to terms. Well that and I admit I drank 3/4 of a bottle of wine getting through the Finale. More than I would normally, but I've found it helpful to get through Survivor Finales and I knew LOST would be requiring a dumbing down of my critical faculties. I truly enjoyed the Finale action until the departure limbo lounge scene, but I was disappointed in the way Smocke went out. Very low key. And everyone thought Desmond was a failsafe, and he wasn't exactly very much at all, in fact what he did had to be undid. (I understand it made Smocke mortal so he could be killed, but still.) Speaking of Flocke / Smocke /UnLocke - he never had a real body of John Locke. It was made reasonably clear that his body was an apparition when we saw the real John Locke corpse. MIB whined about losing his body. Christian flitted around like an apparition. Bullets go through him like he's made of air. Then suddenly, they give us the scene where he feels the earth under his feet. That makes us think of him as solid. He can slit throats -- so he can wield a knife. He eats. Point being, there was no body there to become mortal. If unplugging makes the smoke monster inoperable, what is left? Why is there something that Kate can kill by putting a bullet in the right place; he was never flesh and blood, and I'm pretty sure that bullets work by making people bleed to death. Oh wait, true, could you pass the duct tape?

well they wrapped it up in a nice bow at the end- it was somewhat satisfying to see everyone happy in the church- BUTI thought it was said they were not dead and not in purgatory (sp?)- and true they weren't while on the island- but they were in the flash sideways- I thought it was kind of a cop out and see- MIB was evil after all- there was no big twist- and I said Jack had to die in the end I'm feeling kind of so-so about it- not great- but somewhat satisfying and I'm kind of glad it's over

26. "RE: Discussion Thread Ep. 6.17/6.18: "The End"" |
I think for me the dissatisfaction comes from two places - Locke's story and they way Smokey died.The series took a wrong turn for me when Locke died and became XLocke. He was the one connected to the island, that loved the island that wanted to protect the island. An XBen would have made more sense to me. I was so sure they were going to rectify that mistake be Jack somehow killing him on the operating table and Locke somehow ousting Smokey from his body that it was a major let down that he had nothing to do with saving the island. Really, pull a stone out of a hole and Smokey becomes mortal, Jack throws a few punches, Kate shoots him and he's dead. Wow. And after he was dead why did anyone have to stay and be The One? And while I'm at it, why was that cute little boy the epitome of evil? Yeah, he killed his evil, non-mom that killed his real mom but seriously why couldn't he leave the island? Even before he became Smokey. And Sideways/Future world - was everyone dead? And if so why was Locke alone in the church?
Damn, the more I think about it the less satisfied I am.

29. "RE: Discussion Thread Ep. 6.17/6.18: "The End"" |
I found it a great end to a great series. I had never expected the end to answer all those unanswered questions. I thought that I would be pi$$ed off that I wouldn't be getting all the answers but I'm not and it ended perfectly for me. The very Lostesque ending was solid and all those unanswered questions didn't really matter anymore. So that's it. Some ramblings: The "gathering place"/LA makes sense now. Their "lives" were still related to their real lives (Kate still a fugitive, Sawyer still seeking out Sawyer) but in the flash sideways world, their lives were better. Locke and especially Jack, who was the last one, finally "let go" and were able to move on. Mrs. Widmore with all her knowledge, which will never be explained. Now I know why she was upset when the prosepect of Daniel leaving with Desmond was a possibility. I guess she is enjoying spending time with her son in this place before she can move on (probably feeling guilty about what she did to him when they were alive!) Ah, Ben is the new No. 2 and assumed a Richard-like role. I was expecting that. Now the only question that I do have is how did Hurley and Ben return Desmond home? Ben said that there was an easier way. Michael Emerson saying that he was the most beaten character in TV history - word! The various flashbacks between the characters had me tearing up! Finally, the very ending with Jack and Vincent and Jack's eye closing instead of opening... very emotional.

37. "The Devil's tool" |
In the end, the island was a place where balance between good and evil was put on a scale and people were tested to see how they measured up. (If anyone wonders why Micheal wasn't in the church in the final scene, it was because, as he said in his last scene a few weeks ago, he couldn't move on. He had failed the test and was doomed to roam the island for eternity.) The center of the island was a place where the light of all the souls of humanity was shining just above the fires of hell. That's why there was a need for the cork. The cork wasn't meant to keep MIB on the island but rather to contain the fires of hell from spreading. When he was thrown into the pit, MIB was convinced that the only way to get off the island was to return to the cave and put out the light. Without knowing it, he was being used. Or maybe that was his pact with the devil: If the light was put out, the devil would give MIB's life and humanity back. Jacob, with almost infinite patience, figured that the best way to prevent MIB from putting out the light was to hide the cave. (Jacob knew how to use mirrors!) Over time he did put in place a back-up plan in case MIB found a loophole. Jacob's back-up plan was Desmond. Jack and Locke both figured that out and, while Jack had faith in Jacob, Locke thought it was his opportunity to finally destroy the island and leave. What Locke didn't know was, when Desmond took out the cork, Smokey wasn't needed anymore so Locke lost his powers (or the devil honored his pact at the most inopportune time). The devil had been freed, the destruction of the island and the world was underway. Only Jack, as protector of the island, could put the cork back in place and save the world. That's for the fantasy story behind the island as I perceive it. The story of Lost however was the redemption of the characters, how their love for each other enabled them to overcome and how it helped them find themselves. They needed the island for that just as much as the island needed them.

I loved it. The finale left me with a happy loved-it buzz. I loved that it was about the characters. It delivered on everything I loved about watching this series, and I loved how it circled back around, with jack stumbling out of the bamboo, the plane taking off, Jack closing his eyes.Nicely done.

44. "RE: Discussion Thread Ep. 6.17/6.18: "The End"" |
I like this comment from a Washington Post article- there was a debate about whether the whole thing was just Jack's purgatory (ie. Jack was dead the whole series from the beginning):
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2010/05/21/DI2010052103465.htmlJack wasn't dead: At least not during the season. He died in the finale, lying in the bamboo field, just like we saw last night. That was all real. The plane really took off, like he saw. That was real too. Shannon died when she was shot, Boone died after he fell, Charlie died when he drowned. It was all real. Just like Christian said at the end: "Everything that's ever happened to you is real." Everyone lived their lives in the "real" world. Some died early on on the island (Boone/Shannon/etc). Some died later on on the island (Sun/Jin/Sayid/Jack). Some got off the island and went about living their lives (Kate/Claire/Sawyer). They eventually died too. Maybe a week after they got off. Maybe 70 years. It doesn't matter. Christian again: "Everyone dies sometime, kiddo. Some died before you. Some died long after you." The timing of that doesn't matter. Not in sideways world. This is where I think you guys got off track in your analysis this week. (Please don't take that the wrong way, because I LOVE reading your analysis.) But, anyway, I think you guys both got off track on this one because you're trying to make a temporal link between what happened in sideways world last night in with what happened in the island world. But you can't do that. Time doesn't exist in the sideways world. Again, remember Christian: "There is no NOW here." Its just where they all went to wait for one another and find one another. And they found one another exactly like they were when they were with one another in the real world. That's why Locke was able to walk. That's why Kate/Sawyer/Claire all looked 35, even though they were likely much older when they died. And that's why Aaron was a baby, even though he very well could have led a full life. I loved it. I thought it was just perfect. I knew we weren't getting a ton of answers, so I was prepared for that. And then when we're seeing scenes in the first hour that you would have anticipated being the penultimate scenes (i.e. all the stuff with Flocke), you quickly realized that this wasn't really going to be about the island at all. It was about the people. It was always about the people.

50. "RE: Discussion Thread Ep. 6.17/6.18: "The End"" |
If I had watched the finale a few years ago, I would've been extremely disappointed. What about all those burning questions that I wanted answered, dammit?! In fact, I felt disappointed for most of this season--I still wanted those answers, and knew they weren't going to have time to give us all of them.However, something about this finale just worked for me. It really (as lame as this is) made me realize that sometimes you don't need all the answers. Sometimes things just happen, and you don't get to know why. What you do get, is what you get. And whatever you can take from the things that leave you wondering in life helps you to grow and, hopefully, become a better person. If you think about it, the characters had no idea what was going on half the time, either. They were just as lost (haha) as we were on the sonic fences and numbers, etc. And they all grew throughout the three years they spent dealing with this island. I have to say, I kind of like that a lot of things were left open-ended. I'm sure lots of people don't like the idea of primetime TV being all preachy or "teaching a lesson"; most of us would rather go for the instant gratification of having a show explicitly give the answers that we want. But I think that's what makes Lost so special, is that it's not just another TV show that does that. It's an experience. And if you want the answers, that's up to you to decide what it all means to you. Such an amazing journey, and truly a work of art.

Sorry all... I was a little disappointed. I know just about everybody really lvoed this ending. But I guess I'm alone.My first reaction: I was so disappointed, I told myself I would never watch anything on ABC again. EVER! I felt so let down I looked for a way to take Channel 24 ABC off my 'programmed channel list'. Maybe I expected answers. Yaaa.... that's prolly it. I just really craved answers. I really wanted to know what the numbers were all about.
...ended up they meant NOTHING. I really wanted to know what the smoke monster was made of.
I really wanted to know why Walt had some kind of paranormal power.
Where did the supermagnetic properties come from?
Why did the 'others' put Kate and Sawyer in bear cages?
How did the island sink underwater?
Why did the shark have the Dharma sign on it?
Why did they push those numbers?
Is 108 minutes really how long it takes a satellite to circle the world?
What pulled up them trees? What...
Why...
Where... Nothing seems to mean anything.
So I watched it again trying to have fun with it like all of you did. Helped a little. I had to keep in mind it's just a show, and the producers really never had an ending in mind when they started it. I guess I was just expecting zombies, or robots or something.
Where's that fooner? I guess I had fun trying to figure everything out with all of YOU! It's funny that so many people microanalyzed (including me) events and 'clues thinking they would lead somewhere. It's so funny I was microanalyzing still shots till I saw horses and monkeys in the bushes....... Where's my Crazytrain to Crazytown siggy?

64. "RE: Discussion Thread Ep. 6.17/6.18: "The End"" |
Thanks for the link, I enjoyed that. Well, pages 1, 2 and 11, didn't read the whole thing.There's an amusing argument (well, it amuses me) in one of the threads over at 4815162348 about whether atheists should be offended by the purgatory world of Lost. I find all this purgatory talk a bit annoying, it only really works in the most abstract sense of a fictional tv show making up their own version of purgatory. Purgatory isn't a universal religious concept, it isn't even a universal Christian concept, but I defy anyone who believes in purgatory to stand up and say that was anything like the purgatory they were taught to believe in. Really? Purgatory is a place we all agree to make together so we can have a reunion in the afterlife? Really? And atheists are the ones who should be offended by that? In the context of the show it doesn't bother me at all, they all died happily ever after, how sweet. There were plenty of "oh, c'mon" bits in "The End" to go around. The biggest one for me turned out to be... James and Kate got off a perfectly sound sailing ship to take their chances on a wrecked jet! OH, C'MON!

55. "Now I can tell you" |
(if you don't already know) the hieroglyphics on the poster that we were all looking at before this season started said The Underworld, but I forget where I read that I admit having only a small idea they were dead in the sideways world until Sun and Jin were in the hospital. I'd assumed that was everyone's lives after the bomb reset everything. Ha! I see dead people! Great characters, what a cast-I'll miss them. I could definitely watch the whole thing over from the beginning some time. For now I'll mull it over, wondering who's going to be in my church. Thanks for hooking me on this show!
