They're all dead...from the beginning... are you kdding me they went for this one
Because I got the impression that the plane actually carried people off the island.
Just a couple more weeks to endure till Burn Notice comes back.
I figured the professor would just build a coconut radio to call for help.
It was still an interesting ride. Even if I never found out what the monster thing was on the island.
V just seems well lame. Has anyone been watching that?
Yeah the sad part is three years ago I called it about Lost and they never once did a single thing to dispell the notion. I said "they're dead".

I really liked how V started, the first 4 episodes were interesting.
They kinda lost me after the long break, when they started puting cheesy effects and too much of the queen and her eggs stuff.
About the dead thing in Lost, many fans called it a few years ago and I think the writers used that as inspiration, clearly they did not know how it would end a few years ago.

I never watched LOST. I did read an interview with the creators of the show a few years ago where they admitted they had no plan or meta-plot and were just making it up as they went along.
Jimmy Kimmel (who I hate, but I was tricked into watching his show) suggested that to Mathew Fox and he gave the "ummm... that's one possible interpretation" and suggested something else earlier (see below).
I heavily agree with what Herrozerro said. They all eventually die during their life after the island (or on the island) and create the Flashsideways world (limbo) to wait for each other since they were the most significant people and all that jazz. So I think all the stuff on the island happens and the whole flashsideways thing takes place after they're all dead (some being MUCH later). That's why the people talk as if they're remembering their time together and stuff. So they "live" in that fake world waiting for everyone to leave and pass on together.
I agree that some season were kind of slow or not overly exciting (the last season and season 3 or 4), but I think the early seasons and season 5 were quite good. I also enjoyed the ending; I thought it gave a good ending to the show (but unfortunately not as many answers).
I think it was a good show.
Never watched the show and, hearing how it ended, I can't say I'm sad I missed it. Nothin' like really enjoying a show only to have the writers give you the 'it was all a dream/they're dead' middle finger.
It was not as bad as it may sound. In perspective, it was a good way to end it actually.
I'm just disappointed about not getting a few answers, I was not expecting to be told all there is but the Dharma initiative really got me at some point and we never really know why they were there.
And I agree with Herrozerro and Scypio, my first post was more the initial reaction/shock.
The last bit with Linus I didn't quite get.
Overall it was a good show. I've been watching a fair bit of American tv shows lately and Lost was one of my favorites.
There are a lot of people claiming they were all dead from the start and it's a "it was all a dream ending" (on many forums and in reviews). That is completely untrue, and I don't know how they could've told it any more clearly in the finale without it becoming a lecture.
Really,
Seems like a funny way to end a series, though
Lost seems to be one of those shows everyone either loves or hates.
Not me. Completely un-opinionated on it.
Were they really?Show

Although, with how much the producers kept going on about not dumbing down the show, I think they were kind of bashing you over the head with what really happened. I think they could have greatly reduced what Christian said in the end and let the audience figure it out and have some discussions. The way that he pretty much tells you what happens seems to kind of be a little overboard.
But given the confusion that some people (not just here, but I read from other sources) had over the plot, I guess they needed to add Christian's explanation to tell people that it wasn't all just a death sequence.
I greatly enjoyed the last episode (although I thought the last season was pretty slow). And I agree that if you get over the idea that they're going to tell you everything, you can enjoy the last episode much more.
Lost seems to be one of those shows everyone either loves or hates. I could never really get into it (way too many plot twists for my liking), but I can't really deny it was unique.
I wouldn't have watched it if I didn't like it, but I wouldn't call it love. :P
But I agree with your point.
Other then that, I feel that seasons 1,2,5 and the last ones were my favorite.
When Lost started out, I ignored it completely, and generally didn't care for it. Then the first four seasons wound up on Netflix last summer, and five in the fall, and I knew this season would be the last, so I figured "what the hell?". I got hooked on it pretty fast, though I'm never sure if I'd suggest it to other people, or what qualifications to suggest it with.
I only recently watched the pilot on youtube, because I never saw much of the first season. In the second half of season 1, I got curious about the hatch but it just dragged on and on and on. After the cliffhanger I needed to see what was in the hatch. The start of season 2 was sublime, and it's then that I started watching. The ending of Season 2 was superb as well. I found season 3 to be very boring and it didn't deliver the insights I expected (ex: the others. Their actions/motives still don't make sense to me). Same for season 4. After a few episodes I got into season 5. It took me a while to get used to the losties talking about and experiencing T.T. I found season 6 to be on the same level as lost's good seasons. Many good episodes, a few bad ones.
After the (to me) bad/weak seasons 3 and 4 I too kept watching because I knew a conclusion was forthcoming with season 6.
It's been said already, but they weren't dead at the initial plane crash. The fuselage was just there during the credits to show where it all started. There were footprints all around it, indicating survivors (though I suppose it could've been the Others). Anyway, Jesu- I mean Christian said that everything that happened was real and Hurley and Ben talked about running the island after Jack's death.
The man in black is Esau. Of course it's slightly different from the bible story, but does "fraternal twin boys fighting over birthright with Jacob receiving it through a sacrement of wine at the behest of his doting mother" sound familiar to anyone else?
The only episode of the 6th season I really didn't like was the one that revealed the history of Jacob and Esau (MiB).
"I'm going to take this wheel, stick it in that light there, run some water over it, and leave this place, mother!"
Oh really? How will THAT work?
Whatever.
That episode made me so mad. Their mother was crazy, murdered a bunch of people (for being evil), and then tried to kill her "son". All without explaining anything and her acting was pretty bad to boot. Nice death scene, mom.
But the finale completely won me over as far as a resolution goes. Very good series in total and kept me guessing til the end. Of course most of my guesses were "they're dead and in purgatory" so...
My wife and I have been discussing, it and one idea we came up with that we feel is about as strong as "everything on the island was real" is that only Jack was real. He died, and his whole experiences on the island were part of his own personal purgatory, where he was made whole before moving on to his final destination. This brings up a whole bunch more questions, of course. Which it should. And really, that Christian says they were all together for the "most important time of their lives" doesn't mean it's true.
Personally, I prefer the idea that the island actually existed and Jack was not the only real person there.
Anywho, the ending did not seem like a cop-out. I like that they didn't answer all the questions. Where's the fun in that? We know the Dharma Initiative was studying the electromagnetic anomalies on the island. Why tell us more? We don't need to know more, and us answering the question for ourselves is much more interesting than feeding it to us.
I was very satisfied with the ending. Across the Sea bothered me a bit, not so much because it didn't explain anything as much as because Mom's acting was terrible and Jacob was played like a sniveling seven year old.
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Her death scene was hilarious. Also, in retrospect, "Adam and Eve" being mother and "son" is a bit creepy!
Yes I know they weren't supposed to be the real Adam and Eve. I would've preferred it was to be honest. Or at least the parents of Jacob and Esau, rather than Jacob's mother and brother. That's just... meh.
It being both of their parents would've been more poignant in my opinion.
I was really hoping they were a time-jumped Rose and Bernard.
And I agree with everyone about how the episode made everyone just seem more retarded.
I know he's not a forensic anthropologist, but wouldn't Jack have noticed a spear wound through her ribs?
