Lost Ending Explained

Lost Ending Explained - Lost ended with the revelation that the survivors of the crash of Oceanic Airways Flight 815 all end up dead.

So after all this time, it turns out that the alternate-reality “sideways” world where the plane crash never happened was just a limbo where their dead souls from the world where it did happen could meet up and travel first class to the afterlife together.

Jack ultimately sacrificed himself and saved the island. In a reverse of the pilot’s now classic opening moments, he collapsed in that same bamboo field, the camera catching the light going off his eyes.

But there are some questions with no explanation. Where is Mike and Walt? We never got a concise, specific explanation of the island: where it was, when it was, what it was. And the question of why anyone — Hurley and Ben? — would need to take care of this island remained obscure.

What do you think about Lost’s series finale? Were you satisfied with the ending?

    Hell no. The whole ending was happy in a way but seemed like a complete cop-out. It seems like a convenient way for the writers to not supply fans with the answers to their questions.

    I think you got it wrong. Everything happened on the island as we saw it. The sideways was the afterlife. If you recall, Christian said some died before and some died after Jack. The sideways was kind of a meeting area, where as each person died, they moved into, until everyone had arrived. Then the awaking, the knowing and remembering of the people through touch. Once they all remembered, it was time to moved on to the next level, together.

    I am so confused, but I don’t know maybe they will make a Movie, like Sex in the City. If the ending was that Vague.

    I am with the comment…the writers copped out and didnt explain all the weird stuff on the island. They took the easy way out and just went to when they all died. VERY FREAKING LAME!

    They all died when the plane went down 6 years ago. Both the island world and the back at home world were purgatory as they tried to sort things out and accept their deaths.

    I was confused at first. I’ve been thinking about it a lot the last few days. I believe they all died in the crash and couldn’t move on without redemption. The island gave them, especially Jack, that opportunity. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the ending!

    I was not satisfied with the ending. It would have taken more than 2 hours to tie up all the loose ends. Explanations should have taken place during the entire sixth season.
    What was the point of the whole time travel stories?!
    If the island was purgatory, what was the Darma initiative doing there? And why could charles go back and forth with his submarine?

    Excellent answer Kelly.

    Joan is right, the flashses were glimpses of the afterlife. As Kate says to Jack “Ive been waiting so long for you”, this is proof that everything on the island was real, they escaped by plane in the last scene, meaning they forfilled the rest of theier living years, but jack died at that moment, leaving kate basically waiting to die to see Jack. Jack’s father says that the most important people in your lifes are in the church, michael and his black son werent really important as they had not had much to do with him towards the end.

    Glad I stop watching after the beginning of Season 2… a very boring series with no meaning between episodes.
