The first hour was astonishing stuff, some of the best we've seen from Lost for a while... The rest was great up to those last 5 minutes (or what I've heard of them lol)... Not sure what to think of the ending.
Television Lost: The Final Season
- Thread starter The Flying Potato
- Start date
Don't hurt yourself there Mockney mate.
We didn't get anything about the island explained though did we?
Could I be right in thinking...
The plane made it off the island and Sawyer, Kate etc continued living their lives, Hurley and Ben stayed and ran the island whilst Jack died. Jack's vision was from after everyone else had died too after living a full life, when they got together to make peace with the island and move on.
It could otherwise be a bit like Jacob's Ladder.

That's what I thought as well.
You could be:
Jack asked his father if his friends are dead too and his father replied "well we have to die at some point"
Lostpedia's in meltdown.
No.
Thing is, I assumed I would hate any ending that went down the religious route, but in essence it didn't really. Nothing about the Island was religious really so you can effectively ignore the FSW/Purgatory thing if you want to concentrate solely on Lost, the Island drama....
However in that sense, we didn't get answers about that Island at all....Still, I'm generally won over by a well told, written or acted thing over answers on a plate...so I'm still pretty sure I didn't hate it....but again..I'll have to think. The last few secs were annoyingly schmaltzy though, and I don't like schmaltz. But I did enjoy the reunion scenes, so ...you know,...thinking.
One major thing though....What was the whole point of Desmond skipping between the two?...How does that work?

He's special and he's not bound by the rules
Roll call?
I'm here but I've already seen it
People are crying in Jimmy Kimmell's live show lol
You fecking beat me to it.
Random. Jack is so hot
Yeah
Yeah they went to quite big lengths not to say heaven at all. Have to say when Christian Shepherd opened the door we were going to see pearly gates and angels, or he was letting vincent in.
Matthew Fox was great I thought, the scene where he met Flocke and told him he was going to kill him was brilliant as was when he passed the torch to Hugo.
Mr. Eko lives forever too apparently
Des is an enigma. It was strange that even with his insights he didn't really seem to know what was going on on the island and he was basically dead and alive, was he an angel

Think I need to sleep now
One thing I didn't like about the way the ending was presented, very much in line with what you were saying Ivor
was the whole notion of Christianity. I felt that was piled on thick in the final scenes in the church with all the crosses, and the fact that fecking Christian Shepard ended up being a fecking Christian Shepard....something they even alluded to with a Kate line.
...I felt that was rather tasteless, nay incredibly tasteless for a show with numerous different actors and fans of numerous different faiths....to go to such lengths to imply "hey, feckos...look it was Jesus!!..ha ha!!"...was a shame. Especially since I know Carlton Cuse is a devout catholic. I felt that was taking advantage of his position there...in a rather evangelical way. Al be it cloaked of course
Being an Atheist, I'm actually not bothered by the purgatory thing at all...and felt it was rather well done...as long as it was ambiguously done to signify "afterlife"...I disagree with your opening statement and felt they very much went for the specifically Christian thing...Which was a shame for me.
Still, I felt everything else was well done.....btw, this is me thinking

Still not seen it, so would appreciate it if no one posts any spoilers in the discussion yet. Waiting for download links to come up, but dont see anything yet. Any kind soul got a link yet?
From what I've read on here, seems like the reaction was very positive for the first half of the show and a tad disappointing at the end?

Brilliant alt endings
Thanks mate. Sound advice. Can't handle the wait for the downloads to become available.
Brilliant alt endings
I feel so bad, I forced Gaz and Chutney to stay up an extra hour so they could watch them. They must feel so let down.
Bitch
Love you too, whore
MockeyAs a devout Protestant Christian, I love Lost now
I didn't say I hated it. Just that it was in poor taste for such an expansive show.
I just don't know what to say.
Not alot was answered, Nobody expected it, It was good though.

Meh. I've never found ads as annoying as today.
To true, I'm looking forward to watching it in full to get a real feel for it.
It's too early for me. What was the point of Jack/Juliet/son?
How do I get the alt endings?
The finale did enough for me enjoyment and fulfillmentwise - can't really fault it

Did anyone else expect Richard to age dramatically the moment he got off the island?
Was he in the church at the end?

really enjoyed the ending. It was 'nice'. Awesome when Jack squared up to Flocke. The best reunion had to be Sawyer and Juliette. (Romeo & Juliette?) tired. talking jibberish. Oh, one final thought. Ben to get his own show? Left behind when the others went to heaven or wherever. He said "going to stay here to figure a few things out..". The new quantum leap anyone? hmmm
So it was already the afterlife .. or purgatory ... when Desmond ran Locke over? That's how he knew he wouldn't kill him, because he was already dead?
And we're supposed to think that Kate and Sawyer never married (either each other, or somene else), had kids etc, but waited for Jack and Juliet?
Funny how Widmore never got a look in in the finale. I presume he went straight to hell!

They answered feck all, yet i still loved every minute of it
Am I the only one who is terribly disappointed with it? I mean, I enjoyed most of it, but the actual ending was... I have no words. feck off.
What was the point of the last 6 seasons? Seems like almost everything that happened from the start and up until now was pointless. They might as well have made it all a dream.
Maybe I'll change my opinion later, but right now... no.

Just one thing, it was weird really that i watched the exact same ending just a few days ago.
I'm not sure who ripped off who.
It was an alright ending, but it answered feck all. I'm not angry, just disappointed.
Ashes to ashes. They're all dead and Keats/Desmond is trying to make them remember and let go. When they do Gene/Christian shows them the way to move on.

To make sure I have it right...once Desmond removed the whatever, Flocke lost his immortality? And so did Jack?
Not sure how the immortality thing worked anyway - Jacob was hundreds of years old, and yet was still able to be killed. Haven't worked that one out yet.
