As I said before I appreciate your view and feelings about the ending. At this point in my life the way I view things in life has been shaped by several novels and the ideas and philosophies they led me to. I not only utilized those ideas for theories, I also viewed the show in those contexts. And those ideas influence my thinking on a lot of things. Its because of those ideas that I am able to accept the End, find meaning in it, and move on. Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Secondly, Locke didn't see the bright light early on, he saw the smoke monster - they said so in the show leading up to the finale. Finally, I feel sorry for you guys. I started reading this site not too long ago, I used to read Dark UFO then they blocked it at work. I loved all your posts and comments and I'm very disappointed reading this stuff now. The whole show was not leading up to Purgatory, that was just a way to give closure and show the characters we all loved one last time. The whole show was leading up to Jack stopping the Smoke Monster (which we were introduced to right away) and protecting the light/Island. The show was about Jack's journey and him fulfilling his destiny. The crazy stuff around them was put there to confuse us and them to make us all Lost. This is why right away they put together games and websites and ways for the people who want to know more could know more. They never tell us in the show that the numbers are the Valenzetti Equation and they only mention Hanso and the DeGroots briefly in the show but we all know about them. I thought they did a great job ending an amazing show that changed television and what can be done in that medium. I think some of you are confusing your feelings of disappointment that the show is over with feelings of disappointment with the closure we did or did not receive. I hope to see all of you on the Happy Town theory sites. Well, to start with, Great Post!

I guess we have to assume that it was the Light is the same "bright light" that Locke was talking about when Eko thought he was talking about the Monster.

But you are wrong about one thing, the example/explanation you gave about the rules was perfect. No "...", it was perfect period. Ive said it before, and Ill say it again...I love your line of thinking and theories. I completely agree with your thoughts on the show, and agree that you have been saying this was going to happen for a while...good call. I think it was obvious towards the end, but people were still looking so it had to be said. Great post, great episode, great show... Achalli, this is a great post.

But about the ending...it was anticlimactic...and, sorry guys, but useless! I understand if the writers did not have time to go into details about the temple, healing water, dharma initiative, etc...but at least tell us the stupid purpose of the island!!! Tell us the purpose of the light!! The light was not mentioned anywhere before in any season, and I felt like the writers just threw it in last minute, just like the stupid lighthouse. Even if they didn't GIVE US any answers, don't have everyone in the FSW be DEAD?!?!?! WTF! How are they DEAD? Jack had a son? Claire gave birth... so...dead people now are able to lead lives after death!?!? What!? This made no sense. They were all dead (those of them that met in the church)..then why was Aaron there? He died as a baby? God fml. I'm so angry I can't form an argument. My point is..it sucked because we got no answers, and then it double sucked because they tried to feed up bs about everyone in the FSW being dead. wow, waste of a season!

That was a lie. That was all about selling 30 second advertising spots for $900,000 on Sunday Night.

Now I know how it ends, I don't think I'd get the same feeling anymore. appledouble – those words by Charlie at the end of The Pilot were what really got me hooked into this show, and I got chills everytime I’d watch that episode.

Sayid finally discovers it is a message repeating itself for 16years. What does Charlie say? "Guys, where are we?" That was a defining moment and led us to believe we would actually get some answers! Did anyone at that point think to themselves, "This is a really cool show because I want to know how Charlie became a drug addict and his struggle to overcome it and win the love of Claire!"? NO! We were ALL drawn in by his question as to where the flip they were and why that was important. Sorry, but no real answers were given. Just a sappy excuse given to us by the writers that never intended to answer any real mystery in a significant way. They used mystery ONLY b/c they knew the sappy character development angle would NEVER keep people watching the show! To the writers and those who defend this lame excuse for an ending: PLEASE!
