Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

That is all I have to say.

Oh and they could have given us 2 and  1/2 hours of more questions answered instead of the damn re-caps. :argh!:

There's one thing they can do to either redeem themselves, or make the whole thing an even bigger dissapointment. Make a movie.

Too many goddamn commercials!   :argh!:

Couldn't they have got Target to shell out some extra dough and just run their commercials instead of having the show so damned chopped up?  2 1/2 hours sounds nice until you realize that probably a good 30 minutes of it is ads.  The hard core Lost fans watching this thing don't give a fuck about where they can get surf and turf or the latest death trap on wheels from Toyota.  Just give us the fucking show!

at least target made commericals especially for the audience of the show. i was laughing my ass off at them.

but...imo.....

If you haven't seen the ending of Lost, stop reading now. (if you care)


Listen carefully to the dialog between Jack and his dad. Everyone there died where they normally died. Jin, Sung & Sajid on the submarine, Juliette in the hole, Kate at some unrevealed point in the future. Jack's father said they were all there because "there is no now, here", meaning that anyone who died in the past or the future would share the same space there.

Their time on the island was real, the island was real. What they were saying is that the alternate timeline of the 6th season actually begins the moment jack dies at the end. The alternate timeline was his journey to accept death. Its point was to make him remember, to see that his time on the island with those people, was the most important part of his life.

So there you have it. It all really happened, and jack died at the end.

That's just how I and the Mr. viewed it.

I understood it, I just wanted abit more explanaitions about certain things. I was hoping that they wouldn't leave as many story problems.

Mostly a clearer explanaition of the islands "mysterious" qualites and some clarity on the early Jacob/Man in black and their "mother" stuff in addition to some more nit-picky stuff.

Yeah, that would have been nice.

When the plug was pulled it sounded like machinery to me... my theory is ancient aliens.  I prefer that to "god".

Agree'd. Though, the church they were in was multi-denominational (is that the right term?), which I thought was nice of them.

SPOILER ALERT

In between my last post and going to band practice, etc... this was the conclusion I came to. The people on the Island were the most important people in Jack's life. The fact that Christian said "some much later" pretty much sums it up (meaning Hurley, Kate, Sawyer, Desmond, Rose, Bernard, and Frank all died later). The flash-sideways is Jack's first phase of afterlife, and a place to meet up with the people who actually mattered in his life. After they themselves died. Here's the thing I don't get though... Jack had a son with Juliet in the flash sideways, and he seems to matter to him.... Did Jack knock up Kate (I'm assuming it wasn't actually Juliet) off screen in the last season? Is he facing regret that he never knew his son? And as far as flash-sideways being purgatory, wtf happened when they blew up the nuke then? I was pretty sure that they had created an alternate timeline in which they never came to the Island, Jacob never altered their lives, and therefore they took different courses. That's why I want a little more clarity. I've not seen the DVDs so I never saw a dead Desmond, etc... but maybe I should. Might clear up a few things. I did like that meet up between Hurley and Ben, and Locke and Ben though. Especially where Ben apologizes to Locke for killing him, and where he tells Hurley he was a great number 1 and Hurley says Ben was a great number 2... leaves a lot to be interpreted, but, yeah, Hurley was a better Jacob than Jacob, and Ben ended up redeeming himself from his moral ambiguity. That was kinda cool. I like the ending more now that I've had more time to think about it.
