Well, it’s over. I stayed up late on Sunday to watch the finale, knowing that I would never, ever be able to avoid spoilers on Monday (and I was so, so right).
I gotta say – I loved it.
I know that most of the fans are split. The folks that liked the science fiction, time travel aspect of the show were disappointed that many of the specific scientific answeres were completely disreagarded in the finale. I get that. I do.
But then again – I’m almost glad there was no rational explanation for why the Island is the way it is: a strange, out-of-time place with electromagnetic pockets and sparkly light filled caverns. I’m willing to move forward knowing now that it is just a strange place, that it isn’t purgatory or heaven or an alternate universe. That question was answered for me in the most simple way possible, and I’m willing to accept it.
While the Island turned out to be real, the “sideways” universe turned out to be a way station, a meeting place, a waiting room for the characters before moving on to… whatever. Heaven, the Light, Nirvana, reincarnation, etc. Everyone found their constant before moving on, and allowed us to see the most incredibly heart-warming scenes of recognition and reunion. Especially knowing that some of these characters may have been separated for so long – Sayid and Shannon, Charlie and Claire, Juliet and Sawyer - made it that much more affecting.
Make no mistake – some of these characters survived and went on to live a long life. I’m particularly talking about the folks that made it to the plane – Claire, Kate, Sawyer, Miles, Richard and Lapidus. I suspect that they went on to live long, happy lives off of the Island, and their reunions with their constants who had died on the Island (Charlie, Jack, Juliet, etc.) would have been a long time coming. As Kate told a not-yet-enlighted Jack, “I have missed you so much,” implying that she had lived for a long time after leaving the island.
To wrap up: The plane crash was real, the Island was real, the “Sideways” world was Heaven’s waiting room, and Hurley is the new Jacob.
Was it the most original ending? No. Was it a little corny in the idea that they all lived happily ever after in heaven? Sure.
Do I care? Not a bit.
I’m sure there’s more to be said, but I won’t say anything that hasn’t already been said in all of the other review and recaps out there. But I had to say my two cents, since I enjoyed this show so much.
Thanks, Lost. It’s been fun. And I think I’ll be watching the show from the beginning, just because.
Hey this is a great story. I’m going to email this to my friends. I stumbled on this while googling for some song lyrics, I’ll be sure to come back. thanks for sharing.
I loved it, too, for the exact same reasons. After Battlestar Galactica totally fell on its face in re: trying to explain things, I didn’t have any expectations at all that Lost would explain everything sufficiently. That, combined with several interviews with the creators I read in the days before the finale that focused on the “character-driven” aspect of the show, may have prepped me for the sort of ending we got. No, we didn’t get answers, but we got to see everyone reunited with their loved one, which is way better than half-assed explanations of why the Island is freaky.
