Back to the focus of the show, in that way I think the fans were taken on the same ride as the LOSTies. We all got wrapped up in the mystery of the island but along the way we became deeply invested in these characters and their lives. Finally we find out that was the point all along, just as the characters did. It didn't feel like a cop-out to me because they had invested so much time in developing these characters. I really cared about how they ended up and I was glad that was the focus rather than trying to explain every little oddity on the island. |

Kiddies, Dane has dropped in to demonstrate a textbook case of Begging the Question, that's Begging the Question, write it down, it'll be on the final.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion mine is this:
If they ALL died when the plane crashed, then Jack had ONE HELL of an imagination, to imagine all the people, the relationships, friendships, emotions, and memories that everyone else on the island had. In my mind, if it had been JUST about Jack, why the backstories of everyone else on the island? Why dedicate entire episodes to other people on the island? I believe they had been dead all season, only part of the island sank (you can see portions of it falling off and into the ocean in the finale.) I loved the finale, I think they did the best they could with what they had. Maybe this was the case maybe not, but it doesn't make sense to me. Not saying the opposing opinion is wrong, just different from mine. I think in the end, it was a question posed to the audience, are you a person of faith or a person of science. Can you look at the show for the value of faith vs. your tendency for needing concrete facts and evidence, or can you just believe and let go? That's what I took from it, and that's why I loved it. |

Also, some of the problems people are upset about (i.e. Walt and Mr. Eko) are about more than just the plotline.
The actor who portrayed Eko wanted a sh*tton of money for this one episode, and the producers didn't want to give it to him. Walt grew up too much to be plausible for the short timeline involved on the island, and grew less germaine to the plotline because of it. |

David is the manifestation of Jack's desire to be a better father than Christian. During his life, Jack always struggled with "daddy issues". In purgatory, he conjured up David to help him overcome those issues so that he could let go. David never existed in the "real world".

Here are my McLost theories:
1) Dane jumped to a conclusion without really thinking about the piles of evidence, and his ego now forces him to commit to the "everyone's dead" theory rather than admit that he was initially wrong. 2) Dane is yanking everyone's chain. I'm leaning towards #2. |

I thought the finale was adequately satisfying, particularly since I'd already realized that there wasn't enough time left to resolve all the mysteries that had been created in the first few seasons. But imagine how much better it could have been if those mysteries had actually had payoffs in addition to the satisfying character arcs contained in the series. Lost was great television, but it could have been even better. Someone should take inspiration from Lost's success and build on it with an even tighter epic mystery series with major character development.

What happened to Nadia? You know, the woman who meant everything in the world to Sayid. The woman he was willing to sell his soul for. He spends eternity with Shannon but not her?
