finally caught up so that i'll be ready for the finale tomorrow. lets see how many questions they can answer in 2 hours and 30 minutes. i cant wait. i also heard that its going to be broadcasted worldwide at the same time, is this true? if so, thats pretty awesome, but it would suck for those on the other side of the globe. i wonder what records will be broken tomorrow for this event.
He himself mentioned that he could take up any form he wished, but he chose Locke, I forget the specific reason I think he said because "(Locke) was wrong" or something along those lines. Seeing as how Locke thought he had the closest bond to the island and said they had to stay there. And I you mean Desmond for being immune to electromagnetic fields not Richard.
For all the annoying things this season presented and knowing it was all over after tonight- I got really choked up when Jack took that last walk through the bamboo forest to the spot where we first saw him and Lost began.
Lame. At least they didn't come right out and straight up remake "The Prisoner." "Lost" proves that a cleverly disguised ripoff is better than a remake any day. I didn't need five seasons to learn that, but...
there were some nice moments in there, but overall the ending didnt really get me going. like lixx said the last part with jack was a great touch and bringing vincent back in was good symmetry. still` a great suitable ending to an amazing show. now i get to go back and watch the first 5 seasons with my lady. she only watched this past season and now wants to run through 1-5.
well done but ultimately presented with a message i cannot get behind at all get out of jail free card
what about those of us who just believe that when you die, you die alone and it is ugly and you just cease to be?
i think everyone died when they seemed to die you did get a (insert religious text of your choice here probably starting with a B and ending with an IBLE) thumped at you tonight though
Honestly I'm not disappointed at all. There have always been religious over tones in the show so that didn't bother me at all. The last scene with Jack hit me so hard, brought me to tears. No disappointment on my end at all. I really think this show is truly amazing. I am sad it's over but the ending was strong. Once more people finish it I'd be interested to see exactly what people thought. Did the island really happen? I think yes. My personal thought is Hurley changed the rules and let Desmond leave the island. When he left he brought everyone together. I'm not sure why Ben didn't go in, but what Hurley said to Ben before he went into the church it makes me believe more that the island life was real. So much to think about.
I agree. My thought is that the island really happened and just the Sideways world was "purgatory". The characters all died at various points on or after the island and all met up in the end. I liked that the show's creators didn't feel like they had to tie up every single loose end and answer every question. The end of a great show.
but it was so cheap! it's like they wrote themselves into a corner or something. using religion to get out of a religion is easy you dont have to explain anything. just let go. you'll see all your buddies in heaven anyway. it doesnt matter what happened horseshit
so sad to see the show end.... couldn't see it ending any other way & gave you alot to think about. one of my friends who never watched the show wanted to know if he should watch it in the entirety.... although now i know how it ends, dunno if i can recommend it anyone know why penny was in the church? i'm sort of baffled with that, because she was never on the island
I was happy with the ending. Seeing them all together again made me happy, and thats what I wanted to see. Several scenes got my eyes a bit watery, especially the hospital scenes with Sun & Jin (this scene really broke me down) and Juliet & Sawyer. Jack's final scene was beautiful.. just knowing it was the ending. Eloise wanting to spend more time with Daniel was sweet as can be. Now I understand why Eloise wanted Desmond to stop doing what he was doing. I didn't really like her before the finale, but the last scene asking Desmond if he's taking Daniel with him was a great moment. Richard's gray hair moment was great. Okay, thats enough rambling now. Everything moment was great to me. Here is my question, is it easier for a dead person in ALT to remember what happened than someone still alive in the actual timeline?
The alternate/flash sideways as a 'purgatory' kinda bugged me. If everyone died at different times and at different points in their lives, wouldn't some be wondering why they were young again? Wouldn't they have met and loved others once they were off the island? (If we agree the island was real, then at least Claire, Kate & Sawyer made it off the island alive, along with 3 others that did not make it to the 'church'.) I guess what really bugs me is, as far as the logic of ending goes, Desmond was correct in saying that all that shit that happened on the island, aside from the human relationships, didn't matter - 'the end' will be the same. I guess after all the weirdness that had ensued on the island for 6 years, I was hoping for more than 'all you need is love'.
I knew it would end this way from the beginning. It was "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge" to the t. He was having a pre-mortem experience and visualized a delusion with everyone he had recently encountered or had in his mind, even Desmond who he met at the stadium. As in the oft ripped short story, in the end he stumbles out of a creek and eventually dies. And in season two, when Locke was reading an occurance at owl creek bridge, and when asked what he was reading, he replied, "nothing."
For more see Mullholland Drive meets The 6th Sense meets Jacob's Ladder meets The Others meets In Bloom meets Donnie Darko meets ...
I agree it had a strong Owl Creek influence, but I don't know if the entire 6 seasons was a pre-mortem experience. Not all of the 'occurances' over the life of the show were Jack-centric.
