LOST Season 6 -- All Good Things Must Come To An End

The whole events of the series actually happened. Christian confirms this by saying "Some died before you, some died long after." Had they all died in the crash they would've all died at once.

Right, because there was never anything misleading in this show. If Christian said so it must be true.

My thoughts exactly. They were throwing new questions out there up until almost the very end. Like the whole comment about Jack not having a son. Okay, so we finally figure out who his mother is but now we're wrong about his father? Bah!

The idea was: Alternaverse wasn't "real" it was just a purgatory-ish sort of in-between place. So, Jack not having a son is a comment on the fact that David wasn't actually real to begin with.
 
Re: LOST Season 6 -- All Good Things Must Come To An End

I have a question that may have been answered over the course of the series (I just can't remember) - what was the reason that The Others took Walt?
 
Re: LOST Season 6 -- All Good Things Must Come To An End

I'll have to check tonight, but read somewhere else that the crash scene that was shown at the end was at the foot of the statue, which would imply that Sawyer, Kate and all never made it off the island rather than being the original crash.

The writers mentioned just that he was "extra special". And that was also the reason they were happy to see him go- Ben made a crack when Mike and Walt were about to go. They did not define what that really meant.

But the real reason was that the actor grew up too fast- major growth spurt.

The flashsideways weren't happening concurrently, they were some time in the future in some place that i would call heaven. The losties created the "alternate reality" so that they could call be together in the afterlife...

Yeah, that's roughly what I got from it. Some of them died on the island, others got off the island and died at some time long in the future. You can see this from hurley and Ben's conversation; it was obvious that they had spent many years together protecting the island. But the 'flash sideways' was their construct to enable them to find each other and all come together in the afterlife, heaven if you want to call it that.

It's kinda like what I always envisioned heaven, if it should exist, to be, a place where you can be together and see all the most cherished and important people in your life, at the time and age when they were in your life. As Christian said, the mosr important times of Jack's life(and I assume the others) was the time they spent together on the island. They were all flawed and broken people, but the time spent together on that island healed them, fixed them, let them find what they had been searching for or was missing in their lives, made them better people.

A nice enough ending, but seemed light years removed from where this show started from six years ago.

Now, big picture aside, a couple things. The on-island stuff didn't really hold me, seemed kinda anti-climactic after the five years of setup. Weepy sap that I am, the connections being made were the high points for me. Especially Sun and Jin, their scene in the hospital with Juliette was the best, as have been most of their scenes together this season.

Claire is really tiny. Jack's son was bigger than her, and Juliette just towered over her.

When they showed Jack waking up outside the cave, I was certain he was gonna be the new Smoke Monster.

Felt like an hour of show with an hour and a half of commercials. Luckily I was watching my DVR of it, and fast forwarded through that mess.

Yeah, she's wee (but hot). IMDB says 5'2"; Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) is 5'9".
 
Re: LOST Season 6 -- All Good Things Must Come To An End

Claire also has the ability to birth a child in around 1 minute, with no painkillers of any kind. So she's got that going for her.

"So is there any tread left on the tires, or at this point is it pretty much like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

There isn't anything that says he couldn't be. After Jacob's brother was thrown from the cave he died instantly, then eventually the smoke monster took his form. The same could happen for Jack after he dies. I figure that he was in the cave/light, and wasn't Desmond, just like Jacob's brother was, so he's probaby going to become the smoke monster, like Jacob's brother did.

That is who Hurley has to protect the island from. Though I don't know what Jack's smoke monster would do to be evil.

*Laughing*

Wow. I'm man enough to admit I'm an emotional mess. (just watched.) *slow clap* I thought it was brilliant. I have no idea what it means, but it moved me deeply, so A+. Hurly's sadness got me the most. Great stuff.

When's the movie? :cool:
 
Re: LOST Season 6 -- All Good Things Must Come To An End

Finale's re-airing on ABC right now...about halfway over. Enhanced episode too, so it's explaining stuff.

MUCH shorter with about half an hour's commercials cut out.

Reasonable rebuttal.

Brings to mind another question: Why do some people have so many issues with suspension of disbelief when thinking about a show about a time traveling island?

The only unanswered questions that I'm remotely interested in are these glowing cave questions:

Smokey is "created" by Jacob when he floats the unconscious Brother In Black down the waterfall towards the light.

We saw in the finale a little bit more of how the glowy cave is physically laid out. When Blackie floated down the waterfall, he didn't go into the light, he likely just broke his neck when he hit the bottom. So... where does the Smoke Monster fit in? Was the smoke monster always there... is he a part of the Island just as how the Island has a glowing cave and a protector? If not (and Smokey was created when Blackie went into the cave), how does Blackie become Smokey if he doesn't actually go anywhere besides the bottom of the waterfall? Was that the magical healing water collecting by the Rock/Cork? If so, why didn't it heal Jack? What's the significance of Jack waking up where Blackie's body was deposited after becoming Smokey? Is there a New Smokey taking Jack's form after he dies?

Not necessarily plot holes, but for everything we saw about the glowing cave in the Jacob/Blackie origin episode and the finale, there aren't a lot of answers. I'm fine with a LOT of stuff not having answers and leaving the series as a story about Jack finding his place in life and eventually dying. But if I'm going to accept the series on those terms, I'd still like to know a little more about what exactly is going on with the glowy cave.
