Official Lost final season countdown

^ it took you that long to realize lost was bullshit?

i watched a few episodes from season one, i watched the finale and i knew exactly what was going on. i am sorry to all of you that watched the every season, it sucks.
 
The alternate universe of flash sideways was purgatory and the island was really them in real life and then when they all went to the church it opened the gates to heaven to move on to end the purgatory stage.

it was entertaining for sure but it really annoys me that the message they choose was that retarded. Everyone dies, NO SHIT. Nobody dies alone, what is this, donnie darko?
 
Mythreads for later.

I was watching lost and missed so many episodes inbetween that I gave up watching it but plan on going through the series in a marathon at some point.

I avoided watching most of season 6
 
I watched four episodes to catch up to the last episode today, browsed a number of Lost blogs, and am more confused than ever.
 
The most compelling ending ever. Very emotional. If not for a few weird questions that were left unanswered, it was a glorious way to ship off a show of this magnitude.

So Hurley and Ben stayed until they died probably, all the others survived including Desmond. When Desmond went through the magnetic teleport, he found the "purgatory" and started pulling strings when he understood they were all dead in that place and only held on to finally find each other again. Pretty perfect for me. It should have been clear from the moment Charlie told him "There's no reason to live anymore" as he realised it wasn't where they were meant to be. Well, that's at least what I'm guessing. Good job.
 
Also, did anyone else notice that the backroom of the church had many religious symbols on the wall? Muslim, Christian, Yin & Yang, and a few others. I don't know if it's common in the States but I'm guessing not.
 
didnt like how a bunch of stuff was still left unanswered. Why do you guys think Ben wasnt able to "move on" ?
 
In a way i'm glad they left some questions unanswered. I think the point was to leave the audience a little lost, for lack of a better word, and for people to continue to theorize and talk about it for weeks, months, and even years after. The point in the beginning was to captivate an audience and keep them watching, and now an ending like that is to continue keeping them thinking and talking about it.
Like someone said in a previous post, an amazing way to write off the show. It shows that in the end it didn't matter how or why, just that they were all together because of how they made such an impact on each other. This show goes so much more in depth than i can even begin to describe. I'm so sad that it's over, but it's definitely a bittersweet feeling. Thanks for an amazing 6 years.
 
i think the point of that was to show that is doesnt matter what religion you are, it all ends the samebut thats just my interpretation
 


  1. The Flash Sideways were, effectively,

    purgatory.
  2. The world in the Flash Sideways was somehow mutually

    created by all of the Lost characters, as a place to "meet up" before

    moving on. Per Christian Shephard, "this is a place that you all made

    together so that you could fine one another. The most important part of

    your life was the time you spent with these people. That's why all of

    you are here. No one does it alone. You needed all of them, and they

    needed you." For what? "To remember and to let go."
  3. The Flash

    Sideways were a place to work out and accept the things that each person

    did in life, to come to terms with their lives before moving on to the

    afterlife - whatever that may be. It's a beautiful symbolism that ties

    into the overall Lost theme - finding redemption in life, accepting

    those decisions in death - and then MOVING ON.
  4. Everyone

    dies - but they didn't all die together. We're trying to fit the Flash

    Sideways in a very linear timeline, and that's the problem. "There is no

    now, here." They're a different world - separate from the physical one

    that we live in. Some characters died long ago (Charlie), some died in

    "The End" (Jack), and some are going to die, even though we don't know

    when or how (Hurley, Ben, Kate, Sawyer, Frank, Miles, Claire... and even

    Richard Alpert - although I didn't see him in the final scene).

 
I really didn't watch much of it in the last year or so but holy shit the ending was incredible. It blew my mind and was just an awesome way to end such a fucking awesome show.

Now time to go re watch all the seasons knowing what I know now and I am sure some of the earlier stuff will make a lot more sense.
 
Lost is portrayed as one of those 'mindfuck' type of shows like Donnie Darko or Fight Club, or whatever, but then in the end its just a bunch of random bullshit going on. Everyone is like oooo, its so deep because theres like religious shit in the background, and slow mo shots, but honestly, theres no like resolution, nothing like comes together and you never understand the point of all the fastforwards, others, dharma initiative, every single thing on the show. Theres no like general meaning or purpose. Jack is the worst protagonist ever, his death meant nothing. For being such an intricate show, theres actually nothing to any of it. I feel like I've been tricked. Basically the show develops anticipation and never delivers.

-I've seen every episode
 
i agree.

i feel like the people who are complaining are looking for entirely too much out of a TV show. it wasnt meant to be some profound life changing revelation at the end. look at how the people grew and changed over the years and the bonds they formed. i thought that was the highlight. the growth and change of these people through their adventures and relationships.

and to all those people hoping that everyone is dead in the end.....well they got their wish too.
 
I too am kinda pissed off at all the unanswered shit...

One of the biggest was - what the fuck happened when they set off the nuclear bomb! Oh yes - that small little detail... if everything on the island was real, then surely that was when errrbody must of died?

Dharma Initiative

The Scientist from DI

Walt and Mike

The Dog...

Widmore and his missus (were they dead too?)

The whole time travel nonesense... island moving

Everyone bangs on about the characters, and about their destiny, fate and all that stuff, but to me, the biggest character in the whole show is the island itself... and we know nothing of what happened to it, why it came to be, how it was so special, why it killed babies etc... man so many details left unanswered it's not even funny.... it's like one critic said in a review i read - first thing they teach you in creative writing is never end a story with everyone dead....

 
I agree the ending really had nothing to do with what the last five seasons have been filled with. It went from people living on a mystical island with secrets to forming bonds with people. Little disappointed with ending but still love the show. When all the seasons come out in that one dvd package they shoul have a special feature adressing some of the basic question left unanswered (who built all those underground tunnels and statues, why is the island so special, ect.
 
everyone died at a different time, and the world where the plane didnt crash was purgatory. jack was one of the first to die and the rest died at some point maybe even of old age like ben and hurley

dharma was figured out, it was just a research expedition to the island

the scientist was miles' father, he led dharma

mike left the island but felt so bad he went back to work on the freighter for widmore but the freighter blew up and killed him

the dog was vincent, walt's dog, which rose and bernard adopted and the dog woke jack up in the bamboo field in the first episode but it lies down beside him at the end as he dies

widmore and zoe were killed, they brought desmond because they wanted him to put out the light so they could kill locke because when the light went out it made locke human and desmond could survive the electromagnetism

time travel is just bullshit, so is the light under the island, you just have to accept that it's far fetched

i would've liked more explanation about the island and the light, that was bitchy, i honestly dont care about the characters that much, i care much more about how the fuck the island does what it does
 
You Mr No Steeze are good....

But i still want to know what happened after the nuclear explosion.... remember they ended a whole season on that cliff hanger... if the island was real, and they were real on the island, then surely they all died then....

man it's a head fucker... but then i guess that's what makes it so good that it stimulates so much debate.... but still..... I was way more interested in the island and what it would throw at them next...

 
are you talking about the ending of season 5? because if so they did kind of answer that. jack was saying how it would essentially reset everything over the past 3 years and he was wrong. then at the beginning of season 6 we see what we think is the parallel universe but they are in fact dead in that one.

i cant remember what is going on in the other story at that time though. i remember the crater and finding juliet dieing under the rubble but i forget how they got there.
 
i interpreted it as the island never existed.... all the time they spent there was during that nanosecond of turbulence on the plane. they all died in that turbulence. thats what jimmy kimmel said at least, but it made sense to me. the world that the plane didnt crash is def not purgatory... if there was purgatory at all it woulda been the island. i think (maybe im wrong though) that its clear that the world the plane didnt crash in is heaven
 
This too...

And the air hostess chick.... And Ethan...

And.... Ahhh fuck it, I'm off to the pub....
 
the creators stated multiple times that the island was NOT purgatory and that those events happened

what else would explain jack's dad saying "these are the people who you spent the most important time of your life with" and what would make them all remember
