The Lost Finale Ending was commented a lot by “Lost” watchers. It seems Lost ending did not satisfy them based from the comments of the die-hard fans. In the Lost Finale Ending, sawyer or Josh Holloway found some long-sought closure together with the other castaways. Why did it ended this way?
Six years have passed since Lost has started airing on TV. Now Lost has come to an end. Lost ending was not that satisfying as everyone was expecting so much from it. Most were not satisfied although some were somewhat touched.
There were coming issues about the season finale of the Lost series. It seems they still want more. Is this really the end of lost, or should the viewers wait for another season until their hope is lost? What do you think about this?

I did not watch the series so had not become addicted to the feverish action and dilemmas that plagued the island-bound characters. But I did watch the finale, and enjoyed it a lot, except that men’s issues seemed to be focused on more than women’s. As usual the ladies were relegated to being love things and having babies…being the “babes”. Maybe there were more women’s issues in the series.
The most important question is how we understand the island, the flash backs, the flash forwards, and the personality changes. Here’s my view from this finale:
The island is where souls go when they die…or one of many places we might go. Here we have to work out our issues still unresolved from our life.
Characters who did what they needed to do “passed on” to the next stage of eternal progress. Since time is a concept we use to mark our lives as earthlings, it does not exist when we die. By this reasoning, the characters left on the island still have work to do. They can become involved with a new group of “newly arrived” souls in another whole episode of Lost. I think most of us on Earth are LOST. We forget we are essentially a soul living as a physical body…for just a short time compared to our soul life.
What about the dog?
Everyone dies on the island the way they would have in the plane crash. And they said it wouldn’t be purgatory.
Well the general consensus is that the Island world was in fact REAL (amongst Lost fans). And the flash-sideways world was a purgatory-esque type place where all the characters waited for each other. They did all die in the end, but everyone dies, so its not your typical ‘everyone died scenario’ because Jack died obviously before Kate and Swayer etc who got off the Island and probably lived normal, long lives. So they waited in the flash-sideways world and in the end moved on to the next stage of life, heaven, passed on or however you want to interpret it.
hmmmm.
What happened on the ISLAND was REAL. all of it.
Whether they died there or not it did not matter, nor did it matter what time they died. When they gathered in ‘Pergatory’(the place in alt-timeling)were they witnessed Christian Shepard Moving on, that was just a way of ending the story beautifully.
We rarely saw this place throughout the seasons, (desmond appear to visit it twice) and hence when he realised what it was(whilst still alive), he was able to show the others the truth once they were dead. And is also why he is so happy after he figures it out (when widmore blast him with Electromagnetisum). after that he never stops smileing.
I love the fact that the island, is still a mystery, that they were all brought to the island because jacob made a mistake, and he couldnt fix it himself.(wouldn’t kill his brother, nor sacrifice himself like jack did)so he showed people a beautiful place and asked one of them to protect it.
When the cork was pulled and the light went out, it was good to see that all the mystical powers/mythology stuff disappeared, (Frank, Richard myles being able to leave, richard againg, black smopke able to die) and then of course it gets put back in, leaving hurley to take over, with ben as his side kick.
When Hurley and Ben talk to each other in (Alt pergutory timeline world) they say
BEN: “Hurley!”(Happy as hell to see him)
Hurley says everyone is inside, ben says he has thign to do first (be4 he passes on)
HURLEY: “You were a great Number Two…”
BEN: “And you were a great Number One.”
Which is to say they decided to stay on the island for an unknown period of time after jack dies. (Which would be cool to know)
But it apears LOST is based soley on the Story of Jack Shepard and the people who meant most to him in his life.
Which is great, but it annoys me to see fans HATING, not even dis-liking just straight up Hating the story of lost. There was so much within it, the problem appeard that people just wanted more and more,until the point that they were looking for things that just weren’t there.
This had ALOT (sole basis) of help, from the Internet.
Lost had barely begun before Hundreds of sites were dedicatign themselves to the mystery of lost, each with their own version, blogging, where anyone with an opinion could state thuier mind.
This made people think about it more…. too much more.
As a fan who has watched it from the beggining im very happy to say i loved the stroy of Jack Shepard. Everythign about it was amazing. it was a great ride, and i couldnt ask for any more.
It was a Drama, and it was a Good Drama.
If people had actually paid attention you would have heard Christian Shephard explain the island was NOT purgatory and was REAL, so why people are debating this question is beyond me. Just listen better next time.
jmae said: “except that men’s issues seemed to be focused on more than women’s. As usual the ladies were relegated to being love things and having babies…being the “babes””
What else did you expect the women to do? AFAIK there were no kitchens or laundries on the island.
This show sucked balls and ended exactly the i predicted it would
nothing explained the mysticism, a couple of people are able to talk to ghosts, there were a few immortals…a man that could turn into friggin black smoke! and all of it just disappeared because of pulling a cork….whaa? instead of them explaining the goings-on of this mysterious island they flashed forward to all of their after-lives.
its pretty much like writing a story and cutting out the whole middle section of it. “once upon a time there was a man………………………………….he died happily ever after.”
Weak.
This show will go down in history as one of the greatest show’s on TV. The above poster (d0rm3r) is exactly correct !
This show was a story about characters on a stage of sic-fiction. No they did not answer all our questions, but what they did do was make you care about the characters and the outcome of these characters.
If you don’t get the ending then I feel very sorry for you, because you have totally let the meaning of the whole story of LOST go right over your head.
The ending of this show made perfect sense to anyone who truly understands what the show was about, the characters and their stories.
Goodbye LOST, you will be missed…
Nuff Said…
Hi, guys. Congratulations, Lost fans. You all qualify as science-fiction nerds now. The true point of Lost was to indoctrinate you all into the world of sci-fi, and now you can cheerfully move along to catching up on Battlestar Galactica, and quit picking on the slow-moving comic-book nerds with no social skills.
You’ve been watching a soap opera tinged sci-fi show, where even the creators had no idea what the heck they were making, and just kept coming up with random ideas and throwing them in. Watch the interview with the creators and George Lucas, and the discussion explaining that they essentially didn’t know where the show was going, either.
You’re doing the equivalent of finding a face in a random pattern; you’ve watched a bunch of semi-random events, and made a story out of it.
Thank you. Not hating, just sick of seeing people argue over an acted out game of pretend.
P.S. Once more, just for clarity: Remember, it’s a TV show, not something that really happened. The writers could have decreed that they were really all messianic alien zombies in disguise, role playing a really involved version of Monopoly. It’s make believe!
Has anyone actually picked up that Jack’s father’s name is ‘Christian Shepherd’ ? Come-on everyone, he is the Christian Shepherd, showing his children to the light through the doorway of the Christian Church. This is a supremely modern Christian story, al-beit a 6 year long telling of a plane full of people who crashed on a real island and then formed real bonds with each other, and individually passed away through the course of the series (and after, as seen by Hurley and those who flew away from the island). This is nothing less than a beautiful adaptation of the concept of Life after Death, suggesting that when we die we get to sort out our issues and come together with the ones we love, who have been happily waiting for us in the Church (meeting point) before we all pass-on to the light. I loved it, the ending was flawless and resonates with me fantastically. It is not corny. It was done well, with modern effects, slow motion, complex musical arrangements, passionate scripts, excellent acting. What more could a viewer (who isn;t an immature chump) ask for ?
Sometimes I think I get it, and then I have another question. THey made a big deal about killing Jon lock. Mysticism and the such. He couldn’t be killed. And it was Jon Lock that wanted them to pull the heart out of the island, and surprise, now Jack can be killed.
I also noticed the name Christian Shepherd. That would make Jacks father an elder in the church. elder – shepherd. and obviously in a christian church.
It was fun, it was interesting. I think we are supposed to make a lot out of things ourselves. No single right answer.
“P.S. Once more, just for clarity: Remember, it’s a TV show, not something that really happened. The writers could have decreed that they were really all messianic alien zombies in disguise, role playing a really involved version of Monopoly. It’s make believe!”
obviously its fiction, that doesnt mean that people cant dare talk about it. do you always go to topic discussions and say “hey calm down, its fake!”?
This show was all about the journey for me, the end didnt answer anything but it gave some people clarity. I feel they just convoluted the crap out of the story of the island so they decided to focus on the characters in this “alternate timeline” and have the on-island characters waste tv-time, “oh Sayid almost died? lets have him murder the japanese guy in the temple….why? because it’ll never be explained”
all they needed were the Matrix2 milli-vanilli guys to show up….then it would’ve made perfect sense….the last episode was written on a napkin in a lonely bar.
The ending was far too much like titanic for my liking. where, after death, she ends up in the place that meant the most to her with the people who meant the most. Bit of a let down but still good nonetheless
