i told you so
been saying they’re dead, the island is purgatory (not in the christian sense but like a general place to pass a test to move on), ive been saying the authors are lying, but no one listened!
also called it with juliet being david’s mom
didnt think that the sideways was like a meeting place after the island thou, so didnt see that coming
favorite line “theres no ‘now’ here” so perfect for the show!
i literally jumped up when i heard christian, for a second i was like wtf did he set this all up? has he been alive the whole time! (another cool thing: the wheel in the stained glass with all the religious symbols)
and vincent! freaking vincent!
pretty satisfied with the finely, even if we didnt get answers to everything
still hasnt sunk in that i will never ever again see the black screan with LOST popping up with the creepy noise 🙁
The island wasn’t purgatory. Everything that happened there was real. The flash sideways from this season was the purgatory. That is where they gathered after they died (whether on the island or later off the island in the case of Sawyer, Kate, ect) so they could find each other before moving on.
Yeah, I agree that the Island was real, and at some point they all died and went to this self-created purgatory.
But man…
I am split in my feelings towards the finale…
In one aspect, I found it beautiful and moving. It was great to see the characters be together again, knowing that they all felt love and peace and were able to let go, BUT…
It also seems to make everything from the first 5 seasons completely irrelevant. They barely answered anything. I love the characters (well, most of them) and they were the most important thing, but now who gives a crap about everything or anything that comprised the show? Spend 5 years telling a great story, ruin the sixth season by patchy plots in order to keep the real meaning of the FSW a secret, and then go “Okay, so the whole show was about this light, someone has to protect it, okay now, it’s going to be Jack, kill the immense legendary smoke monster in a pathetic way, go down that waterfall, put the rock in hole, cool, you saved the day, now die.”
And then “Oh hey, those of you who are dead are chilling in the self-created purgatory, wait for the others to join you (over a loooong period of time, of which we won’t show any to you) and then Jack’s old man will make a speech, then you all saunter off to heaven.” CLOSE EYE.
Yeah… I spent most of this season bored(minus Ab Aterno – then Richard gets a gray hair, probably does all the touristy things and dies and goes to hell) and then it ends like that. Oh hey, they’re all dead. And you thought the Island was purgatory. HA!
So I will cherish the first five seasons, be glad that even though it`s a tad lame, the characters are with loved ones, and try my best not to dwell on what became of season 6.
I will miss the show so much, and love it for what it is… It will take time to sink in. I`m sure I`ll still be confused upon re-watching it years from now.
DrMrWizard you’ve just saved me a long post. My feelings exactly.
Nice end but I have to say that it feels kinda cheap after all these years. The writers got LOST while writing LOST.
To have a end like this LOST could have been a kick ass single season series and not a loose ends 6 seasons one. Everything became pretty much irrelevant by this end. Kinda lame and dumb.
All i read was …i told you and and that the island was a purgatory and i quit….someone wasnt paying attention
Yeah.. I’ll be the fourth to say that the island definitely was not purgatory. The island and everything that happened on it was real. What happened happened. The flash sideways was a post-island pre-afterlife.
Hey dude, I have said that too. check my posts. None of the haters listened. I don’t think it is purgatory though. Purgatory is when you die and wait to go to heaven or hell. They didn’t die yet. Watch the movie Jacob’s Ladder with Tim Robbins. Exactly the same.
Props to you on the excellent call!!
yeah they were alive on the island, but the island was a test that they had to pass to cross over into the sideways, if they didnt pass they got stuck on the island as whispers! the actors said it themselves during the jimmky kimmel special
duhhhhhhhhhh a place where you are tested to see if you’ll pass on or not! ummm sounds kinda like what i was saying
I have to agree too. The island was not purgatory. The FSW was purgatory. I really enjoyed the story. Most people are upset, thinking that the entire 6 seasons the characters were dead, but that’s simply not the case. The only time they are dead is in the FSW. Everything else was REAL. … Something I was trying to figure out (I’ll probably have to rewatch) but did they all remember in the order that they died?
I also really liked how they tied in the “coffee, dutch” quote with Juliet that was amazing.
WHy could they not be dead?
They were on a plane that crashed no!!!
Plane crashes… boom… u land on somewhere that looks so much like the garden of evil… with temptation everywhere.
The alternative is, that if the island was real, then we need to go back to theorising again
eg the evil can not leave the island, or valenzetti/doomsday theories etc
But overall, u know what is the feeling in general? Thank god they did not make 12 seasons!!!
I like the show and thinks its been good, but looking back, characters like Degen etc just show it was stretched too much in areas.
But cool nontheless
