More like Carlton and Damon rescued it, after JJ bailed when he had no clue what to do with the show. Nearly all of the questions have been answered (if you do your research on internet or do repeat viewing you will find them - but Lost has never been the show to spoonfeed you the answers), and there's some more added content to the finale making the release on its dvd/bluray.

 

Not to mention, the DK encyclopedia coming from the creators by the end of this year, but they want to let fans crack their heads at it first.

Wow, the final episode was really amazing and very nostalgic. Was so happy to see

Shanon, Boon, Charlie, Libi and Juliet again :panic:

The ending, i.e.,

the island being destroyed when the light was put off and then Jack giving his life to make sure the island didn't sink ... it made sense to me.

.

 

It was also great to see how the

characters remembered their whole experience in the island and their reactions. But the last scene was a bit confusing again. I mean does it mean everything that happened in the sideways timeline from Faraday talking to Desmond about how he feels that he is in two different places at the same time to Jack operating Locke to Ben being a teacher in a school ... all that is afterlife? That really doesn't make any sense. Also, the whole thing of Ji Yeon being born, etc is also in the afterlife? How is that possible since she was already born in the real world?

Lost spoilers :

 

 

The AU was the purgatory, gateway between Heaven/Eternity and Real life earth timeline. Ji Yeon was born in the real earth timeline (before the Oceanic 6 boarded the Ajira flight) so she is 100% real. Jack's son is however not. He was only created for Jack to deal with his daddy issues which he got from his own father. After he cleared that issue, he could let go and move on with the people closest to him. Ben didn't go because he still has his own issues he needs to let go (with Alex) so he'll resolve those first.

 

Faraday's idea for Jarhead explosion only created the incident (which required pushing the button - and in turn this incident needed to happen because without it they would have never crashed), and transported the Losties trapped in 1970 to present timeline (2007). The purgatory wasn't created by Losties, just something that exists naturally in the afterlife rules of Lost universe, its where people wait to resolve their issues (let go) before they can move on to heaven. Jack and Boone died early but the rest lived out their lives and then went to the purgatory timeline (see the part in the finale where Kate says to Jack she's missed him for a very long time), and Hurley/Ben probably died after 1000s of years of serving as the protectors of the island.

I take back what I said about House. Onto episode 13 and its been like 4 great episodes in a row. Here is hoping that it doesnt go downhill.

 

Edit: Ya know I just realized that the last 4 episodes havent had the House-Cuddy "will they wont they" crap as the center-stage of the storyline. Sigh. It will go downhill.

No it dosen't,the last two episodes of season 6 were one of the best in the series.

Christian said, "some died before you, some died after". It's pretty obvious that people who escaped and the ones off island died at a later stage in their lives. They all just met in the afterlife.

 

 

After watching it a second time I felt the finale was emotionally quite satisfying, all characters appearing again and stuff. To be honest I'm really not sure what I felt about it, some parts were clearly retarded some were plain awesome (Jack's Super-Saiyan flying punch). If they were planning for this finale they should have ended the series after the 3rd season. The various twists and the pseudo science stuff which they introduced later should have provided answers but now since it's all over it feels like a gratuitous sacrifice of the narrative. The meta conflict of Jacob and MIB (Samuel??) should have been introduced way early in the 5th season, the finale bits should have been in the first episode.

There were opportunities wasted, the purpose of characters and the narratives was not fulfilled. Faraday should have cleared the sciency stuff while Miles should have dealt with the fantasy and unexplained sh*t. The time Sawyer and co spent with Dharma (back in 70s) should have put an end to all their mysteries. If this was covered in the 4th and 5th season then the last season could have been all about the resolutions and stuff.

It was more like they dug themselves in a corner and when they realised they couldn't do anything to resolve the plot holes they put it to sleep with a shotgun.

 

Anyway, no point in bitching. As far as finales go

 

Star Trek: DS9 > Babylon 5 > Six Feet Under > The Shield > Seinfeld > Lost > BSG

 

 

BTW I watched the finale in HD and some scenes looks just plain drat awesome. Also, Kate is a bombshell in that dress, Desmond has a great taste.

the lost finale wasn't meant to be a ending to the lost franchise....the mysteries of the island live on

 

the finale only served as an goodbye to the current cast of characters who personally i was deeply attached with after following for nearly 6 years....so yeah even though i feel cheated that the whole mystery wasn't solved, atleast i got a satisfying ending for the characters

 

IMHO the lost franchise is far from being over...though i doubt there will be a hugo/ben spinoff (atleast i hope not)

It's a multi-billion dollar franchise owned by Disney so I guess they will not let it die soon.

 

I'm just worried if the decision to leave out those mysteries unresolved was a decision of the network which further put the creators under tremendous pressure.

 

I, for one, would love to see

'The Adventures of Hugo and Ben'

as a graphic novel.
