made my pre-orders

So everyone dies at some point and goes to heaven where they meet up with people they love in a church with light. If I had told you this was how the show was going to end no one would have liked it.

But since it's Lost there are going to be a lot of people who love it no matter what happens. More power to you.

I didn't like it and thought it was a real cheat by the producers since they have shied away from the purgatory idea from the beginning. Also I love how the tagline of the DVD is "all the mysteries will be revealed". They set the show up to make viewers want to know what's going on and then when we want to know fundamental things that are going on we are told to care about the characters.

Well.. to be fair, Jack saved the island, Hurley became the protector and Sawyer and Kate got away on the airplane.. the whole death in the end was just a way for them to remember the most important time in their life, which was what the whole show was based around, not the myth or magic of the island, but them and their influence on eachother. The mysteries are irrelevant. People who want answers aren't getting the show. The show would have sucked if they explained everything. It's like when George Lucas tried to explain the force in The Phantom Menace. God that sucked. TMI

Not everyone will be pleased, but most would agree its a suitable ending.

i love that all characters was and had a fucked life but the island give them the chance to bring the better self of them..thats the meaning,of the end,that everybody is dead and they try their best,the are relief now that they die try and help others,that why was the whole hunging....and the whole story was this" time to let go" in the end...and brilliant the end when jack close his eyes instead of opening in the 1st episode..

dimitrispearljam · May 2010

and its so fuckin brilliant cos if u open a thread about Eddie vedder will have less pages than this one!!!
that was the magic about this show.we still talk about it..!!!we still have characters and pictures in mind..
when they have this flashback when they touch eachother i was so in to it!!!6 years pass and i everytime i was the same nervous to see the next episode....when jack touched by kate was like power heat me!!and was to end like this..to still have questions...

Hugh Freaking Dillon · May 2010

now that I think about it, they totally stole this whole finale from The Sixth Sense, how that little boy helped people (Bruce Willis) figure out they were dead before they could move on. Plagiarism!

I thought it was god-awful how it ended for Widmore. He was such a central part of the story, I could have sworn he was going to come back after mentioning a while back about wearing bullet proof vests and all that. His death was so anti-climactic, and didn't do justice to the importance of the character.

why was Claire's Aaron still a baby in the church? He didn't die as a baby. Or did they all just transform back into their Lost age when they went to limbo, since none of them actually seemed to age.

Hurley somehow had a nice haircut though!

With all that was left open (Hurley telling Ben he was a great #2, etc), I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a movie in the next few years.

something pretty weird about jack creating an imaginary (and creepy looking) son for himself in dreamland... doesnt seem that necessary to him meeting up with his island friends

working out daddy issues? :?

It was the reality they made up for eachother.. Claire's older son was not from that important time in her life, therefore he remained a baby.. to everyone that period was the most important time.

would claire really wanna be there at all?? she went fucking crazy on the island... whats so special about that?... you gotta think that motherhood was better... or whatever her life was post-island

same might be said for any of the ones that got off the island... pretty sad if the rest of their lives were that uneventful / void of special people to spend eternity with

LikeAnOcean · May 2010

My question is, if they nuked the island in the 70s, what reality is Kate, Sawyer, Claire going back to when they fly away in the end?

michelleelise · May 2010

Well, count me in as another who loved it. I lost track of how many times I teared up, I'm a sap

I'm glad they chose to focus on the spiritual aspects of the characters and their lives. I'm not sure they could have explained the scientific aspects satisfactorily, anyhow.

The alt universe makes more sense to me now. I guess it was their in-between and that they were all imagining themselves as they'd like to have been and envisioning how they might have done things differently, if given the chance.

Maybe Charlie was the most important thing to her? Her life sucked off the island too.

just BAD writing... and the bad writing led to bad acting... and the bad acting led me to not care about a single character

people act like the writers/creators are so smart for being able to tie everything together

THEY HAD 6 YEARS TO DO IT! good movies do more with characters in 2 hours

sorry to keep being a hater... just bored and looking to stir up trouble... get to the bottom of what the appeal really is

Yeah people on here love to talk about how anything can happen on this show and it is so smart. Having random mysterious things happen without any explanation is not smart writing. You are so right about good movies developing characters much more than these characters were developed over six years. And I love the argument over how some people were into the characters and some were into the mystery so if you were into the characters you were happy. Um, why is it too much to ask to have the character payoff and the mystery payoff?

In your opinion, that is what you wanted and what you needed to make it work. For you. I am sure there are shows you love and think are great that other people think are garbage. You made it clear on here many times that you have not liked the show for years. I am sorry it did not work out for you and you may have wasted a lot of time in it.

The mysteries are not irrelevant. I get that "Lost" refers to the characters and how they were lost in their previous lives. Because they set everything up and had no idea how to tie it all together into a cohesive, compelling story, now they say it is all about the characters and the mysteries don't matter. Why in every preview it said, "questions will be answered" and on the front of the DVD for the last season it says "all mysteries will be revealed"? It's not like these are the most nuanced, developed characters.

Yeah God forbid a discussion with opposing viewpoints actually happens here.

Just because people are discussing the show doesn't make it good.

Didn't they say the island was a gateway to hell? I thought that was pretty well explained by the wine bottle cork scene with jacob. At least, that's my interpretation.

It's all relative. "Good" is an opinion. If you didn't like the show, there's not much you can add to a thread about it.

What I like about it is that it is so confusing.. that even if randomly, poorly written, it makes me think, even if its thinking much about nothing. It's fiction. Not fact. It doesn't have to make sense.

Thanks for letting me know when and where I can post. Maybe you can point me to a topic where I can add to a thread. Of course you could argue if you liked the show there is nothing to add because all you will post is what you liked about the show. Maybe if people with different opinions posted it would make for interesting discussion?

By the way, thanks for this sentence "What I like about it is that it is so confusing.. that even if randomly, poorly written, it makes me think, even if its thinking much about nothing. It's fiction. Not fact. It doesn't have to make sense". It is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. It makes you think about nothing and you like that? I apologize for asking my fiction to make sense. I know I am asking a lot.
