LOST..... How do you think it will end

[jonislost]

Why do you think it was?

Just the way it was presented to us :/

Christian said to Jack "Everyone dies sometime kiddo. Some before you son, some long after you." - with reference to everyone else at the church. So if they died at different times then surely they were alive on the island.

He also said specifically to jack that the life was real, the people in the church are real, and then Jack remembers lying in the bamboo forest watching the Ajira plane leaving and finally dying. (So damn beautiful, brings a tear to my eye just recalling the ending!)

Literally just watched the end!

Oh my goodness! I'm sitting in a wee daze at that! 6 years of the best TV I've ever watched over!

The fact that it comes 'full circle' for Jack, does that mean that it all repeated until they found a way to move on?

Also when Hurley and Ben had the conversation about being number 1 and 2, does that mean that they were somehow the driving forces between everything on the island in order to find an end to the suffering on there, as they didn't seem to be too connected to everything in the parallel story?

Excuse my ignorance btw, I've been avoiding anything to do with it since 3 weeks ago but have finally finished watching. I had to pause it with half an hour left just to prolong the finale!

 

[jonislost]

haha good reaction! You might want to read up a little bit now though as you've misinterpreted a lot!

I think I get the main bits of it, but they're the two bits I wasn't sure if I'd got at all right.. Anyone want to summarise, though I'll be reading here and lostpedia in the next few days to see the general views!

The basics of the final episode is that everything that happened on the island, before the island and after/off the island actually happened. It was all real. The only thing that wasn't real was the alternative time-line from season 6 which was a type of purgatory created world which doesn't exist in time and space for the losties to meet up in and pass onto the afterlife.

The whole show was about connections between people. It was about living together and dying together.

So everyone on the island who died on the island, died on the island then. I kind of figured the alternative time-line wasn't real.

The bit I don't get is the conversation with Ben and Hurley at the end...?

Ben and Hurley probably went on to watch over the island for hundreds of years after Jack died. Same as Kate, Miles, Frank, Sawyer, Richard probably lived out the rest of their lives off the island.

Cheers, that makes more sense. Like I say I've had no time to think or discuss it so I basically was trying to work things out quickly. Anyway jonislost thanks for the help I'm away out now and hopefully have a chat with a mate about it over some shisha lol. Sad that it's over even if it became so so in places towards the end!

BTW. In season 1, they had a character called Ethan. In it, he had super strength. It was a long time ago, but does anyone remember him? And can you confirm he did indeed possess unusual levels of strength?

He did manage to drag preggers Claire and Unconscious Charlie through the jungle by himself, so he was indeed pretty damn strong.

This was from a time when they still hadn't fully worked out what "the others" or the "Dharma Initiative" were supposed to be. So any explanation as to why he had super strength is not going to come along. My guess they were thinking about a more supernatural background for the others/darma back then. BTW he also popped up in the purgatory world, he was Claire's paediatrician.

I would take a guess at a Dharma experiment being the reason for strength, but like you say its not been explained its purely theory based on what we were shown.

 

[d3moliti0n]

I always thought they were going for a Twin Peaks vibe in the early years, for example, the Dharma and the Others or the Island etc. all had a 'Dark Side'.

I remember a theory going around years ago, I think it was around the end of season two, when it was thought that the Dharma were all living on an underground base on the island and the DeGroots were down there running crazy experiments etc.

That would have been pretty awesome to see.

Since he was part of Ben's crew you could argue that Jacob had granted him super powers, like Richard's immortality. But since he came across as a bit of an evil ****, you have to ask yourself why he would have, since Jacob is supposed to be the epitomy of goodness. Mind you, I don't even think they'd thought up Jacob when Ethan was introduced.

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. I was seriously fighting back tears for the last 20 mins or, basically from Jack touching the coffin onwards.

 

[sunama]

Damn.
I must not have an emotional bone in my body.

When he was touching the coffin of his father and it turned out to be empty, I was expecting some fantastic twist (not the one we got, which I thought was weak).

Surely the biggest twist you can get these days is not having a twist ?
