I mentioned on another thread how I came to the epiphany that Lost was the new 'It.' And AVClub goes and encapsulates my thoughts in it's opening sentence.

No it wasn't. I am cool with people having their opinions, but to be honest with you, anyone who believes this doesn't really get the show.
Dane, you seem like a cool guy and all, but I think you are 100% wrong here. I will say though that a lot of people in this thread will just go with whatever you say, at least thats what it seems like. You are like Jacob in a way... |

And its been done to death. St. Elsewhere was a mentally challenged childs imagination. Bob Newheart woke up from a dream about owning an Inn. If true, the lack of orginality would be unbelievable for a show that had orginal ideas at one time.

I've had mixed thoughts on the ending, but as I think about it more... I really do think you could interpret about 4-5 solid ways to sum of the meaning of the show. I don't have the time to go through them and at some point, I'll try to wrap my arms around them and type them. However, I do think that the notion of this just being all in Jack's mind is a bit simplistic... it's too obvious. Remember what Flocke said to Jack when he realized he was the replacement for Jacob? He said something like "You are the one? Don't you think that's a bit too obvious?" Something to that nature... then as we find out, it wasn't Jack after all ... it was Hurley. Jack had to be the 'intermediate replacement' in order for Flocke to become mortal, then Hurley would ultimate take over his role. So, I think once things settle and I can digest it more... I'll be able to make more sense of it. Did Ben not go into the church because Danielle and her daughter weren't there - meaning they had not died yet? Where were the kids (Aaron, Sun and Jin's baby, Desmond and Penny's child). What's the deal with Locke saying to Jack (twice) that he didn't have a son (this was after the surgery). What's the story there? Who was the kid then and how would Locke know? Same with Walt, he wasn't there because he had not died ... we learned previously that Michael said he was essentially "stuck on the island... part of the whispers". Where was Ecko... was he there with Michael - trapped? I think it's interesting how the Jacob/Richard roles wound up being Hurley/Ben in the end... I think "seeing this through Jack's eyes and it's all a dream" is a bit too simplistic. Sure, it's a definite possibility, but I think it's just one of several ways to interpret it.

I mean seriously... did some of you really expect one final resolution to all of this? If you did, then you have abandoned what you loved about a show that you devoted 6 years watching... there are never final answers to all of the questions, and when answers are provided... more questions arise.

If it was instaneous and it was all a dream how come Jack had on different clothes and a different haircut and bleeding in different places than when we first saw him?

Was it indeed the same crash scene? Was it the plane that took off in the last episode? I dunno, but I want to see comparisons.

I need to see that because for some reason the Local news decided that it would be a good idea to break in with BREAKING NEWS for an earthquake that was a 4.0 that was in Mexico. It broke in a minute before it was scheduled to end. I want to see what you are talking about. |

Maybe they all had issues that needed to be resolved before they could 'move on'... so the last 6 years was a look into how these people were all thrown together to 'fix themselves' so they could move on. It's fun stuff.
