There is absolutely NO reason to believe any information given by Carlton Cuse or Damon Lindelof. None, whatsoever. 1. The Island isn't purgatory (Well, yes it was). 2. Walt is important (no, he wasn't). 3. Aaron is important (no, he wasn't). 4. The Island is actually an island (no it wasn't). And on and on and on. You're free to believe whatever you so choose. |

Oh, and I just now got to watch it. I'm disappointed. I get it that they wanted it to be a character-driven show, and it was. That's fine with me. But what pisses me off is that you don't bring up all of these questions about Dharma, the numbers, fertility, polar bears, etc., make them the focus of the show for 2-3 seasons, and then ultimately say "It doesn't matter; spend time with your loved ones." That's lame and it's a cop-out.
They KNEW that what was driving a lot of people to watch wasn't ONLY the characters. People were ALWAYS asking questions about what all the science-shit meant, and to just leave it all unanswered is lazy writing. If you're ultimately going to dismiss the questions, you should never bring them up in the first place. But then, they, as writers, knew that they wouldn't have been able to keep people watching without weaving these elaborate time-travelling questions into the storyline because it wasn't strong enough on a pure-character basis. It was a good episode, and I liked it from the character standpoint, but leaving huge, gaping holes in the storyline sucks. Many of the questions were central to the development of some of the characters, like Juliet and why all the women on the island died during childbirth, or Ben and moving the island with a giant wheel and ending up in the desert. Good episode, bad finale. |

Kate was a "never" a mom because Aaron was never born. Neither was Sun & Jin's baby. The Dead can't procreate. You're not taking into account every facet of the show, from beginning to end. You're basing your conclusions on a few things said in the final few episodes. You can either choose to dig deeper and re-examine your beliefs. Or not. Either way, it's of no consequence to me. |

So, what about the footprints around the plane?

The plane broke up over the Indian Ocean. Everyone was strapped in. There would be no survivors to wash upon a shore, anyway. They'd all be dead at the bottom of the ocean. And those footprints weren't necessarily human footprints and there are absolutely no signs of life around the engine debris. |

I can't wait to see how long this thread is kept alive now. I bet it never dies.

So, the series is all wrapped up, and still... nobody really knows WTF was going on...
I'm not trying to be a troll, I know it's a very entertaining (intriguing) show. I was hooked for two seasons or so. But in the end, nobody's sure what they spent six seasons watching? |

I'm offended now that you're getting all squishy and apologetic.
