“Nope. Everybody died and everybody got off the island.”
I don’t get it. I loved it, but didn’t understand it. (Much like Obamamania!)
If some got off the island in the plane, but they were all dead, what happened? There’s some connection I’m not making. Help!
The alternate universe was purgatory. Or that’s how I see it.
During the scene with Jack and his father, the stained glass in the window had symbols for all of the major religions. They created that place to find each other, according to Christian. That way, all of them could meet there - Sayid was Muslim, the Korean couple were I believe Buddihst...
Dunno. Im going to have to ponder this one. Not a homerun, like the ending of “Six Feet Under”, but not a slap in the face like “The Sopranos”.
I guess the rest, we can decide upon in our own mind - like who exactly was Widmore, why was he involved, and why was he doing what he was.
And THANK YOU to the writers for reuniting Hurley with Libby. That guy need to catch a break, for once.
Christian Shephard explained it best. There is no time in the eternal ‘now’. Everyone dies at some point, some before and some long after Jack. In spirit, they had agreed to come together to reunite in the closing scene.
They all died...eventually. What happened on the island, the flashbacks, and the flash forwards, REALLY happened. The “sideways” reality, as they called it, was somehow created by their collective consciousness after they all died. (This is my interpretation anyway. Anybody got a better explanation?)
It didn't matter how they got off the island. As Jack's father said we all have to die sometime. And they all ended up in the same place eventually. And in that place there is no "now."
It makes more sense that the island ended when the atomic bomb went off.
