"The End" Live Commentary

[AlanC9]

Glurgy spiritual endings always feel like such a cheat.

Exactly where did you think the show was going?

 

[Trippy]

That was awesome!

Whats up with Ben though? What does he need to work out?

Yeah, so did Ben go to hell? lol

Or that bench was purgatory

 

[RoJoHen]

Didn't the producers say over and over again that they weren't dead? I seem to recall them utterly denying this year after year!

They weren't dead, but that doesn't mean they get to live forever.

 

[What's his face]

You people are all wrong. The alt-universe is a real universe, not the afterlife or anything. They're just remembering their entire lives until their deaths. Hurley says "you were an awesome number 2" to Ben and he returns the favour. Likewise, everyone remembers their lives on the island from start to finish.

As for Christian... he's Smokey?

 

[AlanC9]

Note that Ben doesn't attend the "service" because he wasn't one of them, though since he worked with Hurley he could have been included.

Seriously, with a name like Christian Shepard?

But Penny was there.

 

[Neeka Keet]

They weren't all dead, the ones that died are dead and the ones that were alive eventually died. The alt universe is like a waiting room.

No Christian said they all made this "alt" universe to find each other.

Still sucks though. Just like BSG everyone died in the end.

But Penny was there.

Well, she did rescue them after the helicopter crashed. I'd say she was an important part of the group.

 

[Brent]

Which still leaves so many questions about the Island though.

You people are all wrong. The alt-universe is a real universe, not the afterlife or anything. They're just remembering their entire lives until their deaths. Hurley says "you were an awesome number 2" to Ben and he returns the favour.

So they're remembering the lives they didn't have in that universe?

 

[timmay2411]

How come no Michael?

 

[sojourner]

Didn't the producers say over and over again that they weren't dead? I seem to recall them utterly denying this year after year!

For the Island universe, yes. They never said it about the alt verse.

 

[Trek4Ever]

Had me choking back tears, wonderfully done finale, bravo to the LOST team and thanks.

 

[What's his face]

so did they all died in the plane crash?

No, they all died at various times in their life. Jack died on the Island like we just saw. Frank rescued people on the Ajira plane, but they all died at some point after living their lives. Hugo and Ben died at some point after watching over the Island.

But they all went to the Alternate Reality (Afterlife) and found each other!

That is the best summary right there, and i am going to go with this theory for right now, cause it makes the most sense. So everything did happen. I'm going to side with your summary, I like it.

My brain hurts.

 

[RoJoHen]

Which still leaves so many questions about the Island though.

The show isn't about the Island. It's about, as I've been saying all season, the survivors of Flight 815.

 

[QCzar]

As far as the ones that weren't there, remember Desmond saying in reference to Anna-Lucia that she "wasn't ready yet" or something. So her, Eko, Walt, etc. must either be still working things out, as with Ben, or they had already moved on in much the same way our Losties here just did.

That's how I prefer to look at it.
