Yea. It was a simple cop out episode. I mean it was a good episode, but it barely answered anything. Also, if they were dead, then basically everything from the first to the last episode was meaningless. Great show, but it went out with a whimper.

Cephus says:

Never could stand Lost, saw a good part of the first season, it never interested me in the least and when I’ve seen things on Lost intended to bring people “up to speed”, I just shake my head at the utter stupidity of the show.

I’m glad it’s over. Now I don’t have to hear about it anymore.

An amazing ending to what might be the best series ever on television. Just outstanding!

Skeptic says:

I’m glad I only watched it occasionally. The recap before the final episode was enough to fill in the blanks.

Overall, the series was like a 16 ft vertical comment on Dvorak. The whole story could have been told more effectively in one season. The final episode was an unimaginative cop out to Christian superstition…. borrrriiiiiinnnnngggg… when the alternative could have been unusual, dramatic and enlightening. Cripes… how many times has heaven been symbolized as a bright light coming through a doorway? Gak.

Animby, don’t waste your time.

Never watched it. I hate these piss poor shows written by a committee of writers that muck with the script and continuity as they go and end up with a huge sticking mess of a non-sense plot.

Mike says:

I never watched an episode and only 20 min. of the last one.

From what I heard I assumed that the island symbolized life on earth.

I couldn’t stand the 20 min that I did watch, all I kept thinking about was how come their hair and clothes look so nice after being stranded on island?

Where did they get the coffee mugs, coffee pots, guns and knives etc… from?

How they adapted so easily from going to a grocery store to buy food to having to find all of their food on their own?

Maybe my questions would be answered if I watched it from the beginning, I don’t know.

IMO it may have had originality but it lacked authenticity and seemed like every other cheesy tv drama to me….the dialogue was the worst. But hey if that’s what you like then more power to you.

Also, I may have never seen a “Lost” episdoe but I’ve seen all the “Late” (Jimmy Fallen’s spoof of Lost) episodes and I have to say they are hilarious and I highly recommend them.

No I don’t think a lot of viewers understood that they were really not dead on the island, what happened on the island was real. The sideways flashbacks were really them in a sort of “purgatory” where after they each died they would meet up again one last time before “moving on”.

I think what is confusing people is trying to consolidate the real life timeline with the purgatory timeline and how they all got together again even though they died at different times. You need to let go of time as it has no relevance, in terms of them meeting up again time was not important. Yes Jack lived for real and died for real on the island after saving it. Yes Kate, for example, lived for real and escaped the island aboard the plane at the end, and she went on to live her life, whatever that may have been, and for all we know died a white-haired grandmother. But after death, and before moving on, they all met one last time, stuck in the side flashbacks until they realized where they were.

I still think it was great, but there will always be those unsatisfied. It’s a freakin TV show, get over it. I’d rather watch it than complete and utter crap like Jersey shore, or any of the other garbage reality crap that has taken over TV in the last ten years. Lost was a story, the creators told their story the way they told it, and that’s it.

chuck says:

To sum up:
A plane breaks apart over the Pacific, crashes on an island.
One survivor of the crash staggers through the jungle.
He collapses, and, after hallucinating for 120 hours, dies.
