Good stuff here... I didn't catch the relationship with what Des did with the light and what Juliette said to Sawyer at the vending machine.

Why was the island at the bottom of the ocean to start this past season?

I would imagine it was giving a look at the possible future... had Jack not gone back down to replace the large stone. Flocke's goal was to "put the island on the bottom of the ocean". I guess if Jack never full realized 'his role' and did not go back down, Flocke's goal would have been achieved...

I didn't choke up, but the scenes were great... now, for whatever reasons, I thought the end scene with the dog crawling up next to Jack was greatness.

What was saddest to me was Aaron being an infant in the afterlife. On a positive note, it's an indication that they all didn't die in the 2004 crash, but did he really never get a chance to grow up? Thought there was a li'l rugrat waiting for Kate and Claire to come back. And it wasn't an embodiment so Jack would recognize him as he raised Aaron for 3+ years himself.

SPOILER! If You Have NOT seen the final episode, do NOT read this!
I thought it was a good ending. There was redemption, forgiveness, love rediscovered, and the recognition of mortality: Ben apologized to Locke, Richard Alpert discovered his gray hair, Claire and Charlie found each other, as did Rose and Bernard, Jin and Sun, Desmond and Penny, and Sawyer and Juliet. Most importantly, Jack saw his father who told him why it all happened.
The only problems I had with it was the "some people are dead and some people are alive" bit. WTF? Either they should all dead or they are all alive. The other thing was Ben refusing to go into the church. Is he resorting to his old ways now that everyone found peace? Is he planning on going back to the island to rule it with his old ways of cunning and mischievousness? I really loved how they had Jack go back to where it all started. Nice ending. And of course, the eye closes...

I really liked the episode and thought it to be a good ending. Desmond pulling the plug and making Flocke mortal being mirrored at the vending machine by Sawyer and Juliette was some pretty nifty writing.
The ALT was obviously purgatory for all religions (note the stained glass window at the Church) - even those that don't believe in purgatory. The island really does represent hell in some ways - there was even a little devil looking thing on the roof when Dez pulled the plug. Walking through hell, making choices about right and wrong, battles between good and evil - the show represents us - everyman - as we fight our own wars. Michael lost his soul. Sayid found his (and Shannon). I think that can tell us more about ourselves than anything else. We can do some pretty awful things, but in the end we can overcome them if we so choose....or not. Juliette and Sawyer's awakening was wonderful...the exchange between Locke and Ben at the church was really intriguing, and Kate is some yummy eye candy. What's not to like? |

After all these years how is it that Aaron wasn't important?

What's kind of disappointing, though, is that all of those epiphanies, all those happy reunions, were for spectral remains, not people on the verge of a reunited life, rather an reunited afterlife. Who knows if in this world if they ever saw each other again.
