caliente_ukWell, I've just seen the finale of Lost.
I was taken by surprise at the ending, but...I kind of loved it. I'm still processing it, but the way I saw it (and please tell me if you saw it differently) everything that happened on the island over the last six years really happened.
Jack dies on the island (that final image of Jack's eye closing was exactly how I thought it would end - perfect!). Hurley and Ben continue to protect the island, Desmond goes back home to Penny and baby Charlie, and Kate, Sawyer etc. get off the island on the plane.
It's only when they all eventually die, at various points in the future, that they meet up again in the 'sideways verse'. That's why not everyone is there, as they haven't died yet. Ben decides he still need to work some things out before he is ready to 'let go' and move on.
It was...emotionally satisfying.
I only wish we'd got to see a little bit more of Desmond/Penny, but we had so many wonderful scenes with them over the course of the show that I can't really complain.
I need to process it more, but it had a lot of similarities to another show I've seen lately (and if you've seen the show, you'll know which one I mean).
More thoughts later...
