WOW WOW WOW
so dam good and 6 years well worth spent so much to say, I'll save it for the years of threads to come all I will say is LOST was a truly brilliant show ahead of its time and the finale was almost perfection no matter the questions that remain.
13.5 million tuned it in seems though finals will probably increase it close to 14 though I bet millions will watch it via other means.
edit - reading some posts and despite the poll saying otherwise the maonsers dominate the thread, worst one I heard was they were dead all along..no watch it again. The normal verse saw them all die at different points over the show and in kate, frank, hurley, ben etc case after long after the events of the island. Christian said no matter when you died you came back to this place, a place out of time.

Kind of reminded me of What Dreams May Come where Robin Williams went from Heaven to Hell to get his wife and get her to remember him and another movie kind of reminds me of is Matrix Revolutions or was it reloaded with Neo talking to The Architect

The alternate endings were just comedy bits, including two that aped other shows' endings.
Average. and that is being generous... they threw everything at the viewer in this one to get an emotional response. a loyal dog, a baby being born, reuniting loved ones, death... just missing a wedding.
if you dont care about things making sense, i'm sure it was great. if you want some internal consistency, well, you shouldnt have been watching Lost to begin with.
if you watched for the "characters," honestly, nothing they put on screen would have upset you. if you watched for "answers" nothing they put on screen would have satisfied you.
me, i watched because i started with the show, and just wanted to see how they ended it. i stopped caring about the "mysteries" and "characters" during season 2 when it was clear the writers had no clue as to what they were doing. they just have "cool" ideas and then try to figure a way to have it make sense (often at the expense of character motivation). this finale delivered more of the same.

While they were funny, I was kinda pissed that it wasn't real.
BTW, is it me or does the actor that plays Widmore lack a sense of humor?
LOVED IT! Excellent end to and excellent show. Very emotional ending. I know many will not like the "religious" aspects to it and blah, blah, blah. Others will hate t because the writers didn't mysteriously adopt their pet theory to end the show with. Oh well. It was great!
I don't see the ending as religious, spiritual yes, but not religious.
There's no evidence of that whatsoever. It was trickery. Misdirection about the nature of the flash-sideways and the ultimate ending.
Also, if the island died, Hurley and Ben wouldn't be complimenting each other on a job well done. They'd be saying, that sucked!

Another thing I noticed was did it seem like some of the dialogue sounded as if the writers were actually talking to us the viewers about Jack being the obvious choice and some other things Im gonna have to go back and rewatch?
While there is no evidence of it, I'm making the leap and also saying that Hurley sunk the island. My only real "evidence" is the scene where Ben tells him that he now has the power to change the rules. Maybe Hurley actually did it to protect the Island so that nobody could get to it anymore, or maybe he did it to prevent the island from ruining any more lives.
What I do know is that the bomb did not sink the Island. That much is obvious.
Oh, one other thing I think they should have done.
When the plug came out and the earthquakes started I think they should have cut to places off the island and shown the earthquakes happening worldwide. Like show Penny & Charlie in England and glass shattering and everything shaking. Show Eloise in the Lamppost station and have the pendulum crash down.
Stuff like that to show us that the "death" of the Island would mean the death of the world. That would have added more drama and suspense, plus show us the stakes out in the real world if Jack didn't replug the hole.

Um, how do we know Hurley hadn't ruled on the Island for 1,000 years before this meeting place in death? We don't.
Christian said that time had no meaning where they were basically.
It is obvious the meeting place in death is taking place after everyone has died. Even Hurley, at some point, does die apparently. Perhaps he used the power of the Island to create this meeting place, and in doing so causes his own death. Obviously those on the Ajira flight lived their lives until they died, so this is all taking place in the future, when everyone is dead.
It is simply there to allow us to see how the characters all end up in the very end. I guess that is why the episode is called "The End"
I agree the Flash-Sideways Universe events will have happened sometime in the future. So FSU (including the characters and events therein) may not even exist, but everything is real from the Oceanics' and islanders' points of view.
While your reasoning has some truth in it, that's oversimplifying it. There are those in between who watched the series for whatever reason/motivation and still hated or loved the ending.

yeah... sorry my generalization wasn't specific enough to cover every permutation.
No biggie.
Generalizations can be fun, but sometimes they don't quite cover everything.I never said it did. But, I agree, it wasn't the bomb.
Where did I suggest that he had a short reign? It's irrelevant. If he had a long reign and then the island sunk, he'd still be unhappy. We wouldn't see the congratulatory comments. No, the island was fine after Hurley's reign, that much we can be sure.
