???, "Big Nose"
I got lost somewhere between season 4 and season 5, when they started doing the whole "Timelord Doctor Who storyline from seventeen different character perspectives -- thing." 

Plus, I was watching them out of order, which is an idiotic thing to do.

If the last season gets rave reviews, though, I'll consider watching through everything again.

Yeah, but they're new characters that suddenly make their appearance (as in, showing their real faces) in the last season and nobody cares about them yet.

I predict a bad end.

Spoiler for:
I liked it. It wasn't spectacular, though it was really good, but really, it could have been much worse. It could have been "everyone's alive now!" or "everyone's dead now!" which would have been the REAL cop-out ending. I'm glad that, instead, it was "some people died, some lived, what happened happened, and they remembered each other forever." I'm okay with that. Or, you could explain it like the A-Bomb ruptured time and space, opening the portal to "heaven" or something like it. God knows an A-Bomb mixed with the crazy shit at the heart of the island COULD do something like that. lol, listen to me.

BUT, as far as endings go, I also would have been okay with "Hurley becomes new Jacob, Jack becomes new smoke monster, and everything starts all over again."


All in all, it had to end SOMEHOW, and with a show like Lost, where the appeal is the mystery and the occult, getting answers and having an definite END will ALWAYS be a "bad end" to some people.

It was half good. The character ending that brought back the now-unexpected purgatory angle was a great twist, but there's just too much that was rendered irrelevant. Ok, the light is back on. So what? What was the outcome of killing smokey and fixing the light? Desmond didn't do shit, because people had flashes without him. Charlie said he should've died, but he was already dead. Still, every finale from this show leaves me with an uneasy feeling that I like.

*The light is back on, so things continue as normal. Hurley took over and things probably ended up repeating in a similar fashion. Just as it did even before Jacob was born.
*Desmond set everything in motion in the "afterlife". Well, really Charlie did. But Desmond took it full force and if he didn't do what he did, no one would have been able to move on.
*Charlie didn't know he was dead.

Nothing was rendered irrelevant because this wasn't some alternate timeline or anything. Everything that happened actually happened. Don't see the problem.

I was afraid of a happy ending, and thankfully we got a much more bittersweet ending.

The problem is that the epilogue took precedent over the story that we've been watching for 6 years. Like I said, the epilogue was great, I just wanted more explanation/consequences. There was some ridiculous shit in there.

I don't have an answer for everything, but here's my interpretation of the whole series:

Radioactive earth magnets are fucking crazy. Or whatever it was that was under the island is crazy.
Here's what we KNOW they can do:
1. Rip planes out of the sky.
2. Do crazy shit to the weather/climate.
3. Teleport / move land masses from one place to another.
4. Initiate time travel.

Here's what we ASSUME it can do:
1. Turn bad people into smoke monsters. (or I guess you could say separate the body from the spirit/soul)
2. Make certain people live forever.
3. Summon polar bears.

Here's what I think it can do:
1. Attract things other than metal with a vicious ferocity.

A main theme throughout the entire series was, once the island chooses you, you can't escape it. Even the people that left the island ended up coming back. So here's my theory: the magnets attract greater things. Like the people themselves, their bodies, their souls, their minds, and their fates. Even after someone the island has chosen dies, their body remains, which is why the smoke monster can assume its appearance. Even after someone the island has chosen dies, their soul remains, which is why Miles can hear them, and why Hurley can see them. They're still wandering around the island, because they can't escape.

Even after they all die, they're still stuck in this purgatory that they can't escape from, because they were chosen by the island. But the H-Bomb fractured the grip that the island had over its inhabitants, which allowed Desmond, being the constant that he is, to start tapping people in the purgatory/afterlife, and in the end, finally, and completely allowing everyone to escape/leave the island.

Maybe the island is a huge metaphor for something greater in our lives, something we have trouble letting go of. Like our pasts, as all the characters were struggling with theirs, but who knows, I'll let other people think about that.


Or maybe Richard was right, and they were all just in Hell, lol.


Granted, that does leave a lot of questions unanswered, but I'm kind of okay with that. I'd rather speculate myself than be given an answer that's not that interesting, because then you're just like "...oh," and the magic is gone.

Alternate theory: The alternate timeline was actually the game. Desmond LOST the game, so he went around making everyone else lose the game.

If you remember the island, you lost the game.

So in the end, everyone LOST LOL GET IT
