Since he was dead, there was no time limit. Thematically, Jack's eyes opened and Jack's eyes closed, signifying the beginning and end of his journey.
Once again, I'm not stating unequivocally that everyone should see or believe what I believe about the "true meaning" of the series.
But I just don't appreciate being told that I'm "wrong" without anyone giving me specific reasons, based on 122 hours of television. |
I'm certainly not saying you're wrong. But you're not right.
(Sorry... that was lame, but I couldn't resist.)
No, seriously, you're not wrong. That's your interpretation, and now that I understand it a little better, I can see how you arrived there.
I don't know what kind of evidence I'd really be able to provide in rebuttal.... so I guess I'll just quote what you said earlier in the thread...
"Lack of evidence?
It's right before your eyes.
If you can't see it, there's nothing I can say or do to change your mind."
But that's art. Two people see the same thing, and each gets a vastly different impression. That's not a bad thing at all, in my book.
