"Lost" Series Finale/ Prediction Thread

They weren't dead on the island.

The alt timeline was their heaven, they created. Each of them died at different times but were all in that timeline together at once. Forever can do that.

This is exactly how I interpreted it.

[UNC-Skins]

Im convinced the writers wrote to deep of a story and then just had to put Jacks Dad in there saying there is now now or later and all that crap cause the timelines dont make any sense.

agree to disagree

The Lostpedia forum servers just crashed. I can't get back on. I'm not surprised, but the number of people on their site must be astronomical right now.

ok ok, so the plane did crash, but they didn't die. So the island was real, the oceanic 6 was real, the scientific experiments and stuff on it were real.

But the alternate reality was not

That's what I got.

Aaron is with his grandmother.

The Flash Sideways wasn't real, Aaron never made it to his grandmother. At least IMHO.

I really think the entire show was their souls dealing with things and they all died in the crash. The show reinforces the soul of man. Kind of a let down on the whole story, but it makes sense to me and doesn't take away from anything. If you believe in the power of the soul and afterlife, the show backs that up.

Though Christian said it was all real, but I don't think he meant literally.

[rdsknbill]

That sucked!!!!!!!!!!!! Ending? "we're all dead and we meet somewhere and hug" thanks?

[Skins24]

Just to add....

I know it was said they all created it but I think the alt. timeline/"heaven" was mostly Hurley's doing.

The "better way" that Ben was talking about.

Kate and Jack gave Aaron to his gmother in the real timeline.

Huh? Kate left Aaron with his grandmother, not in the purgatory but in the original time line.

I can't believe how many people here didn't get it.

Everything that happened on the island happened. They were not dead. The alt time line was like their purgatory, them coming together was their heaven.

They all died at different times. We don't know how Kate, Sawyer, Miles, Lapidius, Ben and Hurley died.

It's possible Hurley and Ben lived for thousands of years after Jack died.

:thumbsup: sadly I bet half the people who watched will never get it.

Exactly, thus the whole "You were a great #2" line.

[Mufumonk]

There are other worlds than these, Jack.

Thought it was pretty self explainatory.

Now I'm just thinking about it and trying to determine whether I think the writers took the easy way out or not.

My bad, not the flash sideways. But, I am not totally sold that everything on the island really physically happened and may have been more of an "afterlife" series of events.

Until the writers come out and say it, no ones opinion is wrong. The closing scene kind of settled it for me.

Come on seriously, a plane going down, breaking in half and landing in pieces would have a very slim chance of actually having survivors.

And the island having many different religious symbols abound could symbolize the different type of souls coming to the realization they have moved on.

Well, that's on you and your perception of the ending. Was the alt-time line being purgatory the easy way out? I thought it was poetic. Much better than my idea of them just living in the alt time line with the memories of the island.

The show as about finding oneself. They did. And in the end, they were rewarded for doing so.

I guess.

It's just the fact that there were so many questions left unanswered.

I knew they would never explain them on but just thinking back there are so many that they never come close to even giving clues about - and I'm sure I'll find a ****load more when I rewatch all of the seasons.

I gave the finale a 10/10. It was extremely satisfying. I am so happy. I cried my ass off.

[DButz65]

I dont know why, but I balled like a little girl when Jack passed away in the bamboo, and the dog (vincent?) came and layed down next to him :cry: I want my dog to do that when I die LOL

I can see where you are coming from with the credits and the pieces of the plane looking like a crash that no one survived. Guess that's on you and what you want to believe. I am choosing to believe they survived the crash. What's the purpose of all of them getting back together if they found each other while they already died? There's no redemption, there's no character growth, there's no finding one self and belonging if they all just died in the pilot.

I almost did the same thing.

I have a yellow lab so something about that scene hit me.

['Skins_&_'Stons]

In the sideways/purgatory, Desmond was the first person to have their memory "unlocked", right?

It got pretty dusty multiple times in my apartment tonight.

I thought it was a fantastic ending. Like Cuse said, if you had a checklist of questions you wanted answered, you probably weren't going to like the ending.
