Oh.

Well, it was interesting. There were some interesting aspects, like what happened on the island actually happened, as time passes we all die but will be reunited with our loved ones and that there is no time only now.
I would have liked to learn a bit more about the island, Jacob and the man in black and their foster mother.
I was expecting Alex to come and sit by Benjamin on the bench outside the church. The reunion with James and Juliet was well done, but I think the reunion with Claire and Charlie was very tender. What did you think?

My youngest daughter has an interesting take, in that she believes that everyone on the Island was dead. You had to be dead to be on the Island. Jack created the "sideways-universe" when he set off the bomb. Kerry (my daughter) believes that the sideways uni is just another island and that to be able to move on, you must become "aware" that you are dead in both places.

I don't think I believe that everything on the Island was real, I think they all died on the plane and were working their problems out with one another. I have also heard that the swys uni was a sort of purgatory; well, I don't think you have a purgatory if you are still alive. Purgatory is a place for dead people. So, at this moment, I'm going with my daughter in my belief that everyone was dead, and that Jack created a different universe in order for everyone to get back together and be able to come to terms with the flaws that they had come to the Island with, and to be reunited with the ones that they loved, those people who helped them overcome their flaws.

I think the scene between Ben and Locke outside the Church, where Locke forgives Ben for what he had done to him was interesting. I think that you need the forgiveness of the people you harmed (or you need to ask for that forgiveness) in order to move on. Ben is still working on getting the forgiveness from everyone he harmed (Alex).
