***Official*** LOST: The End. - Page 39 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'm still firmly entrenched in the camp that the island is a location where those who are hopelessly alone in life are summoned to battle their inner demons. It exists for that purpose and must be protected for that purpose. It's origins and powers are beyond my comprehension and I'm okay with that (I realize most of you believe this to be a cop-out.) The other characters that weren't summoned to fight this battle were perverse to the island's existence and therefore killed whether they ended up on the island of their own volition or not. Its exact properties are less-important than the purpose of its existence.

totally going out on a limb...but the flash sideways kind of confirmed that in this show's reality some form of after life exists(whether it be traditional form or consciousness or energy etc)...I think the island maybe was a link that existed in the real world to that other reality.

One more point.

Watching this, assuming that the sideways universe where everybody was happy and alive was building to some tie in to the "real world", I was prepared for people like Sun and Jin to realize they'd have to make some sacrifice, that this wasn't real and they knew that. That part of their realization was part of it. Building up to something that seemed like it would be really powerful, and then just having everybody wander off to the damn Grey Havens- just felt so... kinda softbatch and wrong.

Yeah thats what I thought as well but if this is the case then why was Penny there? When did Jack ever develope a relationship with Penny?

The boat. They concocted the plan together. And even so, she was an extension of Des, who was clearly important to Jack. I don't think Shannon was important to Jack but apparently she was to Sayid? That was the worst part of the episode imo.

How exactly was the ending vague? Vague would have been if Christian never opened the doors to reveal the white light.

I understand that. But I think we're kind of splitting hairs.

Jacob didn't die of natural causes, ever. And he also couldn't be killed by the other person who inhabited the Island with him(most of the time). That's not technically immortal, but it's pretty close, and still makes the question about how Hurley is already dead a reasonable one.

Exactly.

I think people are misunderstanding the point of that post.

I was just adding onto what you said, not refuting it.

Yeah I've been trying to make this point but didn't really know how to. This is pretty good.

It's either this, or the scene in the church was many years after Jack's actual death. There's no reason to think Hurley died any time soon after Jack did. The conversation Hurley had with Ben supports this even further as it indicates they had somewhat of a reign over the island. That could be thousands of years for all we know or need to know.

The worst part of the finale was clearly Shannon's reappearance. She was Sayid's island replacement for Nadia for what, 1/3 of a season and suddenly she's in purg with Sayid? Nadia:Sayid :: Penny: Desmond.

How the HELL did they **** that one up?

I'm kind of torn on the episode still. I think the ending was pretty goofy and didn't really feel satisfying. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the ep (got some dust in my eyes during the Linus/Locke conversation at the end for some reason) and the series as a whole, and in the end I guess I just didn't really care THAT much about getting all the answers or having a really tight conclusion. So I'm still pretty much happy overall despite not liking the finish too much.

I don't think that's a **** up as much as a choice. Shannon got more screen time, and fits more with the reunion scheme. I don't think it's a good choice, but I suspect it was a calculated one and not just them forgetting about the Nadia character or anything. You also could argue that Sayid had his shot with Nadia in this universe and it didn't work out.

yeah but how else can you explain smoke monsters and all the other sci fi stuff? you can't, so if you accept that the island was purgatory, it all makes perfect sense.
