Eff you, Baby Arron. This is all your fault. Stupid stupid stupid babies ruin everything.

What the fuck happened to Mr. Eko? The ending should have been more about Miles.
3
Yeah, and what about Sun and Jin's baby? Will the state send it to live with Yakuza grandpa? (By the way, dibs on the movie name, "Yakuza Grandpa.")
4
What about Walt and Michael? Not that I care because I hate them but still..WHAT ABOUT WAAAAAAAAAALT?

Also stupid Vincent made me cry.

Meh...everyone was dead at some point. Charlie and Claire realizing who each other was kind of gave me the sniffles.

Oh also this is a really interesting piece about Hurley creating the sideways universe to take care of people and the whole ending being the same as Watership Down.

Well shit. Nobody else is going to say it. Y'all too cool?

This was mesmerizing. This was maddening. This made me cry nine separate times. (yes, I counted)

An absolutely epic finale to one of the most epic TV shows of all time. Of course it left us with more questions than answers, WTF did you expect, anyway?

Brilliant, brilliant television. (even if I did have to watch it the next day on Hulu.com)

I thought it was a sweet episode.

It was nice that they gave some sort of "this is what is happening" message. Which was, they all died, and the magic of the island allowed them to experience some kind of extra-planar existence in the moments after their deaths - and during that time they built rich relationships and interacted with whatever the fudge was already living in that realm.

The missing characters and explanations I just explain with, "It's science fiction - you don't need a detailed explanation of everything, haven't you ever read a science fiction book?"

Crapped out for the most part with a few genuinely touching moments (Jack and Kate finally saying I love you kinda got me even if they are both Annoying actors). So it was purgatory the whole time, [sarcasm]wow[/sarcasm].
Jimmie fuckin Kimmel is a bloated piece of rubber with a talk hole. Has he ever been funny? Ben Linus was the only one who seemed like an interesting person IRL.
Sayyid IRL is a total poncey Brit actor type!

Island-Jack shouldn't have died in the end, he should have turned into the goddamn smoke monster! He came outta that shit exactly the same way that the Man in Black (aka Adams from Deadwood) did. The show should have ended with new castaways wrecking on the island and Hurley and Ben watching them from afar, then we see Jack watching from another spot. I like the idea that there always has to be a balance.

And the churchy, wussy world ending was terrible, but at the same time exactly what we were all expecting. Anyone else wonder what the significance of Ben waiting outside is?

I don't think the island was purgatory, I think the alternaverse was.

Jack dies on the island, everybody else escapes (via plane or whatever magic Hurley and Ben come up with). They go on to their lives, whatever they may be, and eventually die when their time is up. The alternaverse gives them a chance to make peace with their death, to reconnect with those powerful moments in their lives and to accept that it is now time to move on. And then they do.

Sure, the nature of the island never gets explained, but there's no explanation they could have picked that would be all that satisfying, so I'm cool with the results as they were.

Oh, and re: Ben, I think he just wasn't at peace yet with his life actions. Just didn't feel ready to pass, although clearly he had earned the right to go to the happy bright light afterlife (since he was at the church with everyone else) as opposed to, say, Smokey or Michael.

I, too, submit fully to the awesome power of duct tape.

I cried. A lot. Partly at the melodrama...and partly in shame that I wasted so much of my life watching this inane garbage. I couldn't turn it off at ghosts, I couldn't turn it off at time travel, how in the hell was I supposed to turn it off at the magical light bulb in the creek?

The writers are a bunch of lazy pussies. Fuck you, flash forward! I choose meth instead.

As far as lats episodes go- this was much ado about nada...too much hype, not enough substance. I think killing them was a cop out- all that mythology and that's the best they could do? Sentimental, gee that's new and innovative...not. I waited six long years for that?
And when it started getting thin (See Episode 1 Season 1, and every thereafter) they stole that dopey "Someone has a big reaction to something the audience can't see just before the commercial break" technique from the X-Files...and then it['s not that big a deal when the (endless, innumerable) commercials were over.

While I'm winging-I don't get the whole "this was ground breaking " about it- the only thing "lost" about it was 2 1/2 of my hours. I'll never get them back. They're dead. Like Jack...and the rest of them...That's what I'm cryin' about...

i am in love with the finale, and also with the 12 smoke detectors, 6 bottles of BBQ sauce, and the new keyboard i felt i had to rush out and buy for some reason.
17
The finale was like a swift kick to the nuts (or what I imagine it would be like if I actually had nuts..). To me it felt like a cop out from taking a chance on something interesting. Instead, it confirmed my suspicion that Lost was really nothing but a six-season long rick-roll.

I learned the secret to getting to heaven is taking out the magical glowing butt plug.

I enjoyed the last episode, especially when they all became aware of what they meant to each other. I'm a sucker for sentimental stuff. I was disappointed that Mr. Eko wasn't there. I was anticipating him showing up, especially since they all gathered in the church. Oh well.
I was disappointed that the show turned out to be an after-death experience. But really I guess it's the only way to explain all the weird stuff they brought into the story.
I think I'll miss Lost just like I miss all the shows that I used to watch but are over. FYI, if you're looking for a show to replace Lost I suggest Dead Like Me.

Please wait...
