Ah ha! I've discovered what I thought all along. You have to be an idiot to enjoy this "finally"

Also, I would give probably up to a month's wages to go back and never watch this pile of trash.

News flash, tards, you can't say it's a good story when the writers ignore 75% of the story at the ending. You're just sappy pussies who like watching dead people make out.

The other thing about this ending is that it just makes so much of the easter eggy stuff fans loved, all the hints we saw dropped about Darhma, everything, so much of a mostly meaningless speed bumb on the way to the magic hole in the ground.

i know they should have condensed it to one episode where they just say EVERYTHING IS MAGIC *insert ICP gif here*, that would have made so much more of a sick show!!!!!

The Wire has a tough time ever having one episode that sticks out, because every episode was so ridiculously awesome.
I should cut LOST a bit of slack a it's obviously easier to write for 12 episode seasons and without restrictions on content and selling ad space etc. Should only really compare it with other network 1-hour dramas that have 24+ episode seasons.

You don't have to insult people who have different opinions/tastes than yours. The writers didn't ignore 75% of the story. I really enjoyed the finale, if you think that makes me sappy then that's your opinion.

There never were any answers. All this show had going for it was the mystery. Nobody ever gave a **** about the characters. What generated interest were the numbers, the button, the Others, Walt, the Dharma Initiative, etc.

The writers, as is the case with any network show, were only interested in keeping their ratings up and getting paid in dump trucks full of cash. There was no good story here and the only concept they had was "magical island where crazy things happen to emotionally damaged people". It was mystery after mystery to keep you hooked and their ratings high.

They won. We watched until the very end. We were duped and bamboozled from the beginning with the "we have a plan" speech. I will list their plan below.

1. Make a mystery, get people to watch.
2. Make more mysteries, get people to talk about it.
3. Answer unimportant mystery, or answer important mystery by saying it's magic.
4. Make mysteries.
5. Make mysteries.
6. Make mysteries.
7. See step three.
8. Make mysteries.
9. ????????????? (This was literally written on the white board in the writer's room).
10. Get rich off of tricking people into watching our ****box of a show.
You're wrong. Maybe you didn't care about the characters, but me and a lot of other people did. I don't feel duped at all.

Lol, I hear ya. Some people don't become interested in learning until later in life. I'm kind of in this camp myself. Just went through the motions and got a degree all that jazz but now like 6 years later I regret not putting more into my studies. Better late than never I guess.

On a happier note, now that it's over the people that were rageful about how it was "poorly written" can now focus that energy on similar trivial things!

Unless the producers go broke about 10 years from now or something.
Indeed. Seeing as The L Word is already taken. Should they call it Lost the Next Generation?

The island stuff really happened, purgatory stuff happened in alt time line only.

Now you know.

Island time - Jack dies and ends up along with Desmond defeating MIB and saving protecting the island. Hurley is the new Jacob with somewhat redeemed Ben being the new Richard...Rose, Bernard, Vincent, the Stewardess and the kids who scattered into the jungle when the artillery started falling probably joined them. Hurley now creates his own system/rules on the advise of Ben and Desmond goes home to Penny/Charlie.
As for the other people involved with Widmore...who knows.
Lapidus(he lives!), Kate, Sawyer, a now mortal Richard, Miles, Claire escape from the island on the airplane. Claire raises Aaron with help from Kate.

Alt Timeline aka purgatory - this exists after you die...may have some how been created by the bomb?(have to assume basic physics/reality/time etc may not exist here - Jack causes Charlie to have a vision or glimpse when he brings him back from death...Charlie glimpses their past life....then forces awake Desmond.

Jack also seems to be the only one to have physical manifestations of his prior life(the blood reappearing even though he isn't cut). Desmond being jolted by Widmore(cuz Widmore wants him to unplug the plug?) causes Desmond's alive consciousness to become aware of his non-alive consciousness and vice versa - Desmond also being exposed to the light prior in the hatch may be involved. Desmond begins helping the others see something. Not sure how Eloise knowing and possibly manipulating things is involved though she has been shown to do this in the past with Desmond (the wedding ring convo). Her worry that Desmond is going to take Daniel with him (and maybe not allow her to resolve her guilt? or allow him to be with Charlotte) is interesting. Def. seems like Faraday/Charlotte/Eloise are way more connected than how they are with the original 815ers...so kinda makes sense. Same with Ben/Alex/Rousseu.

The alt timeline/way station before whatever is next def. is confusing. I'm sure if Cuse and Lindeloff sat down for a podcast and explained things, like they probably did to the writers in the room when they were coming up with all this, it would make way more sense and certain things would fall into place...but then it wouldn't be LOST.

So it was flashbacks to the past, flashforwards to the near future, and then flashes to them after they died/were reincarnated/or created another timeline or consciousness that existed beyond their current one.

Only thing I wished for was one more scene with Desmond/Penny.
Got teary eyed a bunch of times. I wasn't angry or frustrated or even sad that LOST was over...was totally satisfied with the ending emotionally and character wise. Which is how it should be given it is the end. In hind sight it might not make all perfect sense...but in a world of smoke monsters, 1000 year old men, and time travel...it works for me.

Only really depressing thing is the 6 years ago I discovered this awesome show and my life was like a million times better and more hopeful than it is now lol.

Jack was my fav character besides Desmond and though it ended perfectly for him given it all started with him esp.

Anyways...what a ****ing sick ride.
I honestly totally expected to be disappointed with how they ended the characters stories after tonight.

Very few shows or even movies make you think and/or dream about such deep and interesting ideas/concepts all the while keeping you entertained and involved while creating great characters and story arcs.

a few things still confuse me a lot. David's existence and where was he in the church scene, how ppl died in the flash-sideways if it was just an afterlife, was Richard at the church, who shot at the group from the 2nd outrigger, MIB name.

on the debate of whether it was just jack's purgatory. i dont think so, but everyone was the same age when jack last saw them, so its def debatable. kate could have lived 20-40 yrs, then died, yet shes the same age she was when they said they're goodbye. idk just my 2 cents.

Re: Ben not leaving with them,

The show at its heart is about love stories and about deep interpersonal connections. The people in the church all had a deep connection with one another and all helped Jack develop as a character (from a man of reason to a man of faith and love) and were the most important part of his life.

Ben was never a part of this and never had a real deep connection with any of them (except it is implied perhaps with Hurley after the timeline of Jack).

Ben's real connection is with his daughter, Alex and his most important time is spent with her. In my opinion, he is waiting for her to crossover (ie die) so he can go with her.
