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

I think it was just a stand-in for either Jacob or the Man in Black as they hadn't fully developed the character yet, or cast them, so the people we saw in the cabin were just stand-in's, of no significance really.
 
Will Darren Brown be able to wipe this show from my mind?

I don't understand how it finished at all.

Can someone in baby words explain how they all died? I don't recall many of them dieing. lolz

EDIT: What they should have done is hired Morgan Freeman to sit at a desk and read evey answer and explain every twist, would have been better than this pish we have.

Its not very good answer though is it. Its fine to have unanswered questions as long as you can guess some kind of logical answer. a lot of the questions raised in Lost just seem like the writers don't even know the answers.

Another example is why Charlie had to die and why Desmond said he saw Claire leave on a helicopter!?

I'm at the point where I realise that they have strung us along for six years, it's great that we all got our ending, yeah, they died and went to heaven, great, but to build up and push some of the mysteries and questions they have raised over the years and then basically say to us 'Make your own mind up', it's pretty ridiculous.

The characters all died as they died on the island. The "flash side ways" universe is timeless. They all created the world in their deaths to help each other as they were all flawed individuals who were made better people by coming together on the island. As Christian said to Jack some died before you (Libby, Charlie, Sayid etc) and others after you (Hurley, Ben and Kate). This is why Kate said she missed Jack for a long time.. presumably she escaped and lived a happy life and why Hurley said Ben made a good number two even though on the island Ben had only just become number 2.

When they "Let go" of their flaws by coming together they could move on to the afterlife/heaven. Thats the reasons Anna Lucia, Eko and Ben, Daniel and Charlotte wern't in the main room as they wern't ready to let go (in Daniels case his mother was keeping him there as she couldn't let go of her guilt for her part in her sons death).

True and I think they must have realized this as the "flash sideways" were only introduced at last minute. To be honest the pace of season 6 aside from the last 4 episodes was far too slow. They could have answered most peoples questions in the earlier episodes but the writers got stuck in the usual routine of avoiding answers.

For example what was the illness? It didn't seem so bad considering Claire seemed fine at the end and Sayid went from not feeling anything to being cured by an arguement for love lol.
 
I wonder why Daniel's mum couldn't have just moved on with her son at the same time.

Well theres a number of reasons i can think of.

- Daniel had 'just' met Charlotte at the concert, so i imagine he has some issues/demons to sort through with her before he can move on. He needs to 'remember' his time with her.
- Eloise was ultimately reponsible for causing all of the problems Daniel had in his life (she was the one that forced him away from being a musician to study physics), culminating with her killing him. So perhaps she needs to see him happy doing what he loves, with who he loves (Charlotte) before she can 'let go' and move on or some such.
- Eloise might have some unresolved issues with Widmore.

You know what, I think that would've worked nicely.

Perhaps they could keep that on the DVD/bluray release as an extra.
 
Edit: Another question I've just thought of. Why did MiB use Christian's appearance to lead Jack to the caves for water, when he wanted all of the candidates dead anyway? He had so many opportunities to kill every one of them to limit the chances of a new protector once Jacob dies, yet he never really bothered.

He needed to find someone to kill Jacob. Killing everyone who got on the island of course wouldn't solve anything.


i think it was Jacks send off, and that was why others were not there??
One of the reasons apparently is because the ending (From Jack entering the church onwards) was written after the Pilot was written.
From a Bad Robot insider:
But, from a more "behind the scenes" note: the reason Ben's not in the church, and the reason no one is in the church but for Season 1 people is because they wrote the ending to the show after writing the pilot. And never changed it. The writers always said (and many didn't believe them) that they knew their ending from the very first episode. I applaud them for that. It's pretty fantastic. Originally Ben was supposed to have a 3 episode arc and be done. But he became a big part of the show. They could have easily changed their ending and put him in the church -- but instead they problem solved it. Gave him a BRILLIANT moment with Locke outside the church ... and then that was it. I loved that. For those that wonder -- the original ending started the moment Jack walked into the church and touches the casket to Jack closing his eyes as the other plane flies away. That was always JJ's ending. And they kept it.

Hang on a minute
So afetr all their denials and statements of what would become clear at the end, the island simply was purgatory? The place between heaven and hell where souls decide their destination? That was the basis of the whole bloody malarky?

Shameful.

god, how hard is it to understanding the ending? there is nothing complex about it at all!

the island was real, but the alternative flash timeline was purgatory.

It would have made MUCH more sense if the island was purgatory though!
 
That doesn't explain why the smoke monster exists/what it is.

It's a smoke monster, they never really explain what it is other than the fact that it's a monster made from smoke. As to why it exists Jacob clouted his brother across the head for killing his 'mother' and tossed him into the like, contact with the light bound his soul to the smoke monster.

It existed before MiB became bound to it as the camp and well built by other people on the island were destroyed in a manner consistent with the smoke monster but it's left to out imagination as to whether mother actually became one (hence the comment about a fate worse than death to Jacob) or could summon it.
