"'And it was all a dream' comes to mind. There is a reason you're not supposed to use that in stories. Because it's a big pile of poo."
You mean like eastenders did with bianca and ricky wanting to come back? They just did phil "waking up" in the morning, and the whole last 5 series had been nothing but a dream LOL |

I thought the flashsidewards or whatever you want to call them were stupid and pointless, the only reason they were there was to give some sort of happy ending. All the airtime they wasted with the purgatory dimension thingy could have easily been used as flashbacks to show more of what went on on the island over the years before the crash ... like who the drat built that giant statue and the temple? It was a good show overall but the ending shows they hadn't a baldies what they were doing during the middle seasons. |

The ending was alright if all the other questions had been answered. I had believe they were dead from a few seasons back which would explain all the weirdness on the island. But now we're told they were all alive on the island and all that actually happened and the flash sideward’s was like purgatory. Wtf?

>>Alias. The show started out strong but Abrams ruined it about half-way through.
Agreed. Like a cool new car someone drives straight into a wall for no reason.
>>Abrams needs to stop working in television.
ABSOLUTELY. And movies. The Cloverfield monster was stupid, the red kryptonite (and everything else) in the Star Trek reboot was stupid - who the fcuk has been greenlighting Abrams' projects and giving him all this money and support??? |

What's hilarious is that the writers had this ending planed since the first episode! No matter what this was always going to happen. So glad I never wasted my time on it. Well, maybe an hour or two but that's it! |

Pure genius, that's what happened. I only wish I could go back and watch the whole series again for the first time. |

Never watched a single episode and by the sound of things, I'm pretty darn glad I didn't torture myself with this storyline for 6 years. Maybe I'll watch it someday... |

That's all fine to theorize about if you hadn't actually seen the show. But they stated quite plainly that the island and the events that happened on it were all very real. The only possible "alternate dimension" in the realm of the show was the flash-sideways world, which was just an afterlife meeting place or whatever. And it didn't happen alongside their reality, it was after they all died, so it's not even an "alternate" dimension.
Jack died on the island (after all the crazy things went down), and we can assume Kate/Sawyer etc. made it off the island on the plane. The fact that they all got off the island and came back once before kind of shows that the island exists in the same world/reality as... uh, the world and reality. It's not purgatory. |

Why, not. Maybe purgatory is an alternate dimension where Dharma manidged to go and made experiments. We know that in our world there are entetys that can sometimes overlap in our world, such as ghosts. Mybe this island is a place where all life is created and all life is ended (like Gaia theory). This island is a rare place (dimenision) where real and dead people can interact maybe bring back people, so that's why smoke lock wanted to return to normal dimension so badly because he new that the island isn't real. But why press the button* mybe the point is that someone neads to stay to keep the conection open so the island doesn't shift in time like it did when the button is not pressed. |

the producers have always said the island is not purgatory. that doesn't fit in with the whole dharma initiative slant. only the flash sideways in season six was the afterlife. i enjoyed the episodes but think an "alternate reality" excuse would have been a better ending than the multi-religious church ending. i didn't understand how there could be a narrative in a seamingly narrative abhorrent place such as the afterlife. answers are left unanswered- all i wanted to know was why they pushed that friggin button! |

My theory is that Jack died and became "the smoke monster" because he was about to die like Jakobs brother (MIB) that went down before. He didn't move the stone but he bacame the monster and his body was found at the same place as where Jack woke up before he died (so we think). Remeber how Sayid reacted when he was in the same water. The darkness that was inside him... the darkeness is inside Jack and it waits for Jack to die so it can manifest as the black smoke. So the story goes on as Hurly is now Jacob and Jack is the bad guy (smoke Jack) ... so the ending happend only when someone replaced them, so they "went on", this evidence that "the island" is a place like purgatory where they neaded to work things out before going into the light. Mybe this place exists but we know that you must die to go there, but still if you die on "the island" you become like a ghost (voices in the jungle) and that is the point of being "LOST". |

I just finished watching it. I thought it was a pretty great way to end the story. I think Jack was the only goodie who died a premature death in the final episode. The smoke died, Hurley and Ben got to run the island, Rose and Bernard's happy life continued, Jack died the way he woke up, and the rest got off the island in the plane. Excellent.
You just have to comprehend the fact that all the non-island stuff in the last season (which is a timeless spiritual concept) had nothing to do with the events on the island, (which actually happened and they were all alive for). It was a great bit of diversion to get us (well, me) thinking how the two things happened simultaneously, when they were infact independent from each other. Loved it. |

"More I look at everything he's done, more I realize Abrams is nothing but a two-bit hack."
I was never a Lost fan but I really loved Alias. The show started out strong but Abrams ruined it about half-way through. He was told it was too confusing and that he should dumb it down for the audience...which he did. What I never understood was how Alias was too confusing while Lost wasn't. I was never able to sit through an entire episode because I kept having a "what the heck is going on here?" moment every five minutes. Abrams needs to stop working in television. He's only going to end up disappointing people every time. |

>>didn't the producers tell us from the beginning that it would all be explained by science
That's what I remember. Lies. Crap ending. More I look at everything he's done, more I realize Abrams is nothing but a two-bit hack. |

Lost is and will be the most retarded show ever. "Hey, our plane crashed and we're sweating to death, oh look, a polar bear." |
