I have to say I'm actually fine with the closure they gave to the characters and all the purgatory bullshit on the sideways timeline.
But confirming that the island and everything that happened was real AND DON'T ANSWER 1 SINGLE QUESTION!!!
That was outrageous!!

In my opinion the closure for the characters was great, touched very well on their "Live together, die alone" thematic. But the fact that everything that happened was real, and yet had no explanation at all, left it too incomplete...
It made it look like some sort of ploy to get more viewers: the main element of the series was the drama, the life of the characters and so on, but they felt that this alone won't make the show a success, so they introduced the whole sci-fi/mystery arc with the island, to get more people interested.
While I understand that this setting was just to build on the character development, show what they have all been through together etc, they made it so inexplicably mysterious, and yet so detailed, that it just feels wrong to completely disregard it in the end.
But considering the story itself as a whole, I'd say it was one of the bigger and better TV shows I've seen (especially if you look at it as a drama), with memorable characters, and some great acting.
It had a lot of flaws, and ending, as I've said, felt very incomplete and slightly disappointing, but I'd say it was still a good run

 Spoiler: |
I've read so many comments about the timeline flashes as a metaphor for purgatory. But I can't shake the thinking that from the first episode to the end, the entire thing was a figment of Jacks imagination as he lay there dying from the original plane crash.

When Jack was coming out of the jungle in the end, and they showed that shoe hanging from the tree, I had the same idea for a second. But when you look back, consider what his father said to him, and what other characters have said, it becomes clear, that everything we saw did in fact happen as it was shown. At least that's my interpretation...

Well, it had some cool parts, but answered barely anything at all.
Very disappointing in that regard. | Spoiler: | Also sucks that basically all the alternate universe flashes turn out to be of no consequence to what's been happening for the last 5 seasons and the main part of this last season. What a waste of airtime. They could have explained dozens of questions that they threw out there over the last few years instead. |
Can't believe that this is the end. I expected at least some things to be resolved.. like the wheel.. and hugo&mib seeing dead people, etc.
too bad

Valdo, you mean this:
| iNatan wrote: | | Quote: | David Fury, co-executive producer of ABC's upcoming SF series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that one of the most mysterious characters on the new series about plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious South Pacific island is the island itself. "It is very interesting and has its own mythology that will hopefully unfold over many seasons," Fury (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) said in an interview. "We are hearing and seeing very odd occurrences, like a polar bear on the island. How does something like that happen in the South Pacific?"
While Lost is an amalgam of different genres, including SF, Fury explained that realism is the key in making it all work. "What we are trying to do is make sure everything has a very Scully explanation," Fury said, referring to the X-Files character. "This is not a show about the supernatural, despite the fact that we have a very huge creature that likes to eat people. Despite the surreal, bizarre aspects of the island, there will be an explanation for it. It may not come for a very long time, but certain information about the island will explain how things are possible. We'll try to root it in real science or real pseudo-science. There will be no mystical reason or an island of monsters. The island has been around for millennia, and many people have found themselves on it, and as far as we know, nobody has ever gotten off. There is also the possibility of others being on the island, they just haven't seen them yet. And we'll never know how big this island is. It could be enormous, but odd things will keep them from knowing the full length and breadth of it. It's an interesting little allegory. It will be very mysterious." |
Anyone remember this?  |
Reading this still makes me .

| Spoiler: | - The characters were alive on the island since the beginning.
- The alternate time-line is a purgatory/afterlife where all their souls met.
- As stated by Christian Shepard, some died after Jack, and some before.
- Jack died when his eyes closed as he saw the plane fly by.
- So Kate, Sawyer, etc lived for x number of years before dying.
To prove this: Kate said, "I missed you so much Jack".
- Hurley and Ben lived for many years protecting the island.
To prove this: Hurley said "You were a great number 2 Ben"...or You are...
- Everyone else as in Sun, Jin, Locke died before Jack.
- In order for everyone to move on they had to be with the people who made the greatest impact on them which was showed in the afterlife. |
Does this sound about right?
May the NFOrce be with you always.

So anyone have an idea what the shots of the wreckage during the end credits are supposed to signify, if anything?

Any one of these would have been more satisfying ending than the actual one.

Questions that I was convinced were going to be answered and WERE NOT!!!!!!!
- What is the island? (is it a spaceship or a religious metaphor of somekind, yes those are the 2 only explanations)
- What was actually the smoke monster, how did it work?
- What's with the Dharma Initiative, do they forgot about Dharma on the 6th season?
- How does the island move through space time and why?
- HOW DID SAYID CAME BACK TO LIFE?!?!?!?!?
- Does pushing the button really ensured the Planet's protection?
- Was Desmond really travelling back and forth into the afterlife and the real world again?
- How did the water at the temple worked?
- What about Walt's special abilities?
- If Jack didn't had a son, who the fuck was David?
- What's up with Tunisia being the exit point of the island?
- When Christian appeared to Jack back on Season 4 on the hospital, was he the smoke monster, if so, how did he get out of the island then?
- Who actually was Jacob's adoptive mother?
- M.I.B's name?!!?!?
- What's up with the finale conversation between Jack and Flocke on the island, when Jack says he is not Locke and Flocke just makes a weird face.
- What's up with the fucking Rules?!?!?!?
- What actually were Jacob's powers and how did they worked?
- What actually are they protecting, what is that light?
And many many more, these are the ones on the top of my mind...
THEY LITERALLY LEFT EVERYTHING UNANSWERED, THE FINALE CONSISTED ONLY ON CHARACTER RESOLUTIONS!!!
My expectations were that they would answer almost everything, or at least the major questions, I was expecting answers, as cheesy as they might be, BUT NO!
THEY SKIPPED EVERY SINGLE ANSWER THEY COULD GIVE!

Could be the island is an ancient alien shrine (ala "Ancient Aliens", "Memories from the Future", et al.). Would explain the markings on walls and objects and some of the metaphysical aspects of the island (or rather seemingly metaphysical to us). But still most of the stuff makes no sense.
Or maybe that light and water was the fountain of life...
