I can't believe this is it! There is no way they can answers all of our questions. I just hope it ends well!

Agreed. It's so much easier to start an interesting story than to finish it -- I hope they can pull things together in a satisfying way somehow. Of course, there is absolutely no way they can satisfy ALL of their fans, so really I just hope that they can satisfy me.
 
I'm not sure what I really need to absolutely know except

1. What the island is, and

2. What will happen to our friends

I am fairly certain both will be answered, so I am really looking forward to tonight. I am though turning the Internet off at 6 - no spoilers allowed!

Great show, so sad to see it end.

You drinking my Portland Trail Blazers pale ale?!! It isn't Dos Equis or Corona, that shit'll fuck you up.
 
I haven't watched a single show, so maybe it is like TV crack (as many of my friends at a "Lost Party" tonight will attest)...
But what's stopping someone in NYC from posting spoilers all over the Net? Like, ZOMG SmoKe MonSter ?!?R!
 
I just realized that my last line channeled Zurs Gera. My fault. To be fair, I've been on the go since Friday morning. I get a few hours of chillout time. Brain's disengaging.

summary: desmond broke the island's magic butt plug and jack had to fix it and everybody is dead and in some irrelevant purgatory that exists just so they can show old characters and reunions. the whole thing was an unbelievably contrived schmultz-fest that answered nothing about and made virtually meaningless the entire first 5 seasons.

simply the most disappointing televison show i have watched, or ever will watch.

thanks for asking :cheers:
 
The island was not purgatory -- the alternate sideways world from this last season was purgatory. I was totally satisfied.

The show's strength was never in it's pseudo-science gobbledygook; it was the characters. Anyone looking for an episode of Mr. Wizard explaining all of the ins and outs of the island's electro-silliness was surely disappointed, but that wasn't me.

I bet 24 is going to have pretty much the same ending.

"Jack, the light. Go to the light..."
 
By the way, did you catch the ESPN headline tonight? Made me chuckle... :)
 
I am satisfied with the ending. Not a lot of questions were answered though! A lot of loose ends left out there for debate. Still trying to figure it all out. They all died and this whole sideways world this season is a so called Heaven? I'm trying to figure out when these people all died though. And I think Ben was the Devil, not allowed into this "heaven".

The people who died on the island actually died when they died, and the people who got off ended up dying when it was their time in their own future. The flash-sideways weren't really in any specific time, it was just their own purgatory they created where they could all meet up and move on together if they were ready to do so (aka figured out their issues/accepted their deaths). People like Ben weren't ready to move on because they still had unfinished business they needed to sort with themselves before they could move on from purgatory. As it was alluded to in several instances through-out the season, some of them weren't ready to "let go" - even in the afterlife, which is fine.

But what happened on The Island happened - the flash-sideways ending up being purgatory doesn't negate what happened in "real life".
 
I still don't get the following:

Who is MIB and Jacob?
What is the light?
What was the point of making the Dharma Initiative so important in season 2-3?
What the fuck is the island? It's not purgatory. It's just a mindfuck island.
Why are were pregnant women dying as mentioned in season 1 or 2?
What was the point of having season 1-3 only to change the series completely around in season 3-6?

It's like they forgot about the first 3 seasons and decided to change the series around for difficult and uneventful ending.
 
It was almost perfect for me. I loved the first season liked season 2 and 3, 4 was ok and hated 5. It was the best finale I have ever seen. Of coarse I hardly ever like series finale.

who made the purgatory?
why are there arbitrary rules there?
why does it resemble their lives but with odd arbitrary irrelevant differences?
why does eloise not want desmond to help people move on?
why is on-island desmond aware of purgatory if it's after he's dead?
why does he think unplugging the island's bung hole will help him move on there?
 
The real ending is a cast party at HCP's house when he's on the road.
 
I think the finale was really cool. Honestly almost got me to cry when everyone were getting memories back. The way i see it is everyone died when the plane crash happened from the very beginning but their "souls" continued living and the whole island was a test to where they end up in the end. For example Jack passed the test so now he goes to heaven or whatever you want to call the light. That's why Ben didn't end up going into the church or whatever that was at the end. Everything else is just a story and was basically meaningless. Like there aren't answers to certain things it was just part of the test or story. Honestly i wish it ended differently but I think the ending was still good. Kinda sucks that their all dead though

The show required a leap pf faith (ha!) And a real willingness to suspend disbelief. Here's my take:

Who is MIB and Jacob? The island is the light of the world, and keeps evil at bay. To protect it makes you extraordinary. Jack got the same treatment, then Hurley.

What was the point of making the Dharma Initiative so important in season 2-3?: People/Humans can find the island. The light gives off electromagnetism which men want to harness for their own bad (Whitmore), or good (Dharma).

What the fuck is the island? It's not purgatory. It's just a mindfuck island.: It is the center - of humanity, goodness?

Why are were pregnant women dying as mentioned in season 1 or 2?: I think because the bomb exploded and the radiation caused them to be infertile.

What was the point of having season 1-3 only to change the series completely around in season 3-6?: In the end, the "protector" protects the island. Seasons 1 -3 showed the latest threat to the island. But there were others before - remember when MIB was young and they built the wells and donkey wheel?

The island was the center of light and needed protection - from various threats. To quote George Costanza - "That's the show!"
