LOL, you do realise the only reason they introduced the sideways alternate reality was for a cheesy finale? It served no other purpose.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
Some people are wondering why the island still existed in the FST(whatever) one reason is that the writers just wanted to lead us down the wrong track so chucked it in there, but here is my take on explaning it.
In the FST (Purgotory, Limbo, whatever you want to call it) was what they characters, collectively created.
I think in this place they created that jughead did work, and reset so their plane never crashed, that’s why I think the island is still there in this place, (jughead sank it in 1977). This could explain why Ben and his Dad where on the island with the dharma initaitive in the FST but got off before the bomb went off as well as Pierre and miles.
It probably doesn’t make sense what I’m writing but it hard to explain what I have in my mind about it

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
This was a very strange finale. Confused about the ending, but overall it was great up until that point. I thought it was sad that Jack died.
On a positive note, the dog lived

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
Didn't they say it was Christian's shoe or something like that?
Only if you beleive the uninformed media that keep saying they were dead all along, which they were not...
Just out of interest Likka, can you point me in the direction of some brilliantly written and explained TV shows without cheese...I need to find a new show to watch that is clearly superior to this one.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
Plenty of them with much better writing, and quality.
The West Wing
The Wire
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Seinfeld
Arrested Development
Six Feet Under
The X-Files
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
House
Probably many I've missed also.
FWIW I have no problem with emotional endings, in fact I like them, but when it needs to be artificially manufactured in an alternate dimension purely for a finale it is a cop out and a sign of poor writing IMO.
If you want to see how five seasons of great writing can lead to an incredibly emotional finale I suggest you watch Six Feet Under.
Battlestar Galactica was brilliantly written for 3 seasons, then the writers completely dropped the ball on the fourth (both parts). They went down the path of god, angels and religion which ruined the show for me... particularly in the finale, which was utterly ridiculous.
One of the problems I had with Lost was the characters. The way they were written they didn't see like real people, they were just part of the overall puzzle.
IMO the episode where Juliet died was much more real than the first season cast meeting for a reunion in the last scene at the pearly gates.

They died when they died. Jack died at the end of the finale. A lot of them were to die at some point in the future. Libby, Shannon, Sayid etc. died on the island.

Would a pop up cartoon children's book suffice?
Seriously SJ's answer was pretty explanatory. What more do you want him to explain.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
Not sure how that's so hard to follow. The island was real, so when they died there, they died for real. Sawyer, Claire, Kate, etc died sometime in the future. Jack died at the end, on the island. Hurley, also died in the future.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
I told you clearly. When they are in the flash sideways timeline they are all dead.
This does not mean they died at the same time. Hurley, as protector of the island, probably lived for a long time after the show's present time finished. Presumably Kate, Sawyer, Claire and so on made it back to civilisation and lived a long life. Jack died at the end of the finale. Libby died a few seasons ago. Sayid died a couple of episodes ago.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
The 'sideways' world is a place that is not subject to time, that they all created to 'find' eachother before the can move on to their next existance.
As said, they all died at different times, highlighted with Hurley and Bens convo about #1 and #2...obviously they had time together after the show.

What a great spin-off that would be. Hugo and Benjamin's Whacky Adventures in Limbo Land

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
Are you for real?
It's not that hard to grasp.
Perhaps you would be better off watching Home and Away, you might actually 'get' that.

Re: Lost - season 6 *spoiler*
I definitely enjoyed the finale and am happy with how it ended. Felt awesome after it...only until I started reading forums that I got slightly annoyed with some things but I'm happy once again
Ill just talk a bit about my twist on it and if you think im completely wrong about something or if I have any questions can someone please explain their opinion...
So they all crashed on the island and survived...that was all definitely real life. Jacob brought them there to kill the man in black. He also tried with the Dharma initiative but the MIB corrupted them or at least Ben which is why they wanted to kill the candidates.
Their time on the island was the most important of their lives and so that is why during the time they were in purgatory with their alternative universe it was with the other people who crashed with them.
It was a single alternative universe for all of them (rather than just Jack's). "Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed them and they needed you."
Jack needed the alternative universe to resolve some of his issues such as with his son but his real life on the island kept coming back to him (the cut on his neck, flash backs that he tried to block out) even though he did not want to believe it. He finally talked with his father and accepted it and so when he died he was able to go to the afterlife. This is what the alternative universe is for.
You know how some people died before others well once they died did they just stay in the alternative universe and help the people who hadn't died accept their life and let go of their mistakes etc seeing as they had to wait to all go to the afterlife together?
I think it's easier to understand when you look at the questions about the island and then the questions about the alternative universe and the deeper things seperately.
I know about most of these type of questions that aren't really too important:
...Walt has some questions unanswered mainly because they had to write him out because of his age
...People couldnt get pregnant on the island because of the radiation from 1977
Guess that's all I have to say.
