'Lost' Star OK With Series Finale

Sorry Terry, worst ending ever!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

They were only dead in the sideflash..OFF THE ISLAND. They weren't dead all along. It's only an insult when people don't understand that ending. Do I have enough space to explain? The show could have literally gone on forever explaining this and nobody would have understood it. I don't find the ending lacking at all. It answered all the questions about the sideflash timeline and answered questions about the smoke monster and Jacob. What the hell else needed explaining?

What Kasia and Erf said, the finale was them reuniting in the 'afterlife', some years in the future as we found out Hurley and Ben became the caretakers of the island after Jacob. Everything that we saw happen on the island really happened, and 'most' of the mysteries (What was the smoke monster, the significance of the numbers, who was Jacob, what the island really was all about, etc) were explained during the series. You actually had to watch the show, which this writer obviously did not. I think no matter what kind of ending they created people someone would be upset, personally I liked it as it did bring closure, without answering every question.

My husband and I just started watching Lost on Netflix. We love this show!!!! It's addicting. I was wondering how each one dies. How will I know when one is actually dead?

'Lost' was one of the best shows to ever appear on mainstream (non-cable) television.  The accolades, talent, creativity, extraordinary chemistry of the actors, the brilliant writing have all been said before.  Writing inherently contains the potentiality of disappointment.  As we do with our own lives, we would all write the script a different way, especially where feelings are concerned.  We all love a happy ending, but sometimes we get a very different one, and 'Lost' was no exception, even though, essentially, the 'Lost' ending brought us back to the inevitability of the truth we didn't want to face in the first place.  How much more true-to-life was that as well?  It was as good an ending as any other, not just one we might have written differently, but, in real life, the ending of a superior series of entertainment for several years that captured our hearts, twisted our minds, and made us look at the important things of life...how we judge others, the opportunities we miss, how very different we are from each other, and yet, together we survive as one, even in the end.  There will always be critics to any creative endeavor and to those of you who are, look amongst the characters of 'Lost' and you will find yourselves.  Write your ending as you will.  We'll all be waiting for you.

Yes. The ending could have been better. But I loved the series, and I can just imagine the sweat pouring on the table, as the question is posed, "Yeah, great! But how the hell does it end?"

Writing, in any professional medium, is an art, a battle hard to win. The best way to write an ending is to know how it happens from page one. Maybe that happened, maybe it didn't. In any case, "Lost" was so far ahead of the pack, head and shoulders above any other series at the time that, and possibly since, that I can forgive the conclusion.

LOST was an amazing story full of inciting incidents and character development. I enjoyed the show, was moved by the show, and was okay with the ending. LOST like LIFE itself left us wondering and I think that is a thrill. To live in wonder. I enjoyed every character and especially John Locke, who was my all time favorite. I loved his spirit and philosophies and find myself adopting his mantra of, "Don't tell me what I can't do!" I sometimes wonder what the secret was he told Walt that day on the beach.... I have some Secrets of my own...

"All the characters were dead, so logic never really applied". Jacks dad said all the important people in your life are here, some came before you and some came after. I took that to mean some had died before jack, and some were not dead yet therefore not all the characters died.

I think it was a slap in the face to the loyal fans to erase Sarah's memories of the past five years...they left us hanging.
