Extremely clever and original. Beautifully emotional. We spoke about this in class once, and supposedly people who have a harder time grasping spiritual concepts in literature also dislike concepts such as this.

Not the best I think Breaking bad has and will always have the best TV series ending in all of television. I do not at all hate the finale of Lost though nor do I get why other people dislike it I think its beautiful and over all pretty decent. Season 1 you think your getting into a survival show season 6 boy are you a changed man. I respect the show and will always have a special place in my heart.

***** Yea both of em are amazing so it does come down to opinion.

Me to

Agreed. Greatest finale to a tv show ever.

As flawed and ridiculous Lost became, this was a nice moment

yeah I loved the show until ABC gave them an end date and they just made things up as the show went along. Old Hollywood trick, if you were confused and have nothing more to give, make it a dream sequence

*the best

Frank Heck It was NOT a dream. Why did nobody understand the ending? They literally say it in the conversation...

The Batman ik

Too many people either casually watched the show, or hadn't paid enough attention during its run, and then completely misinterpreted this final scene. The cut away parts to Jack dying in the bamboo field, the plane flying over him as he lay dying (which was Lapedis and the Ajira plane with the few remaining survivors leaving Hydra Island, not Oceanic 815 - but some people didn't understand that either) and then the plane wreckage during the credits, led some people to think that was an extension from the original pilot which was showing Jack (and everyone else) dying/dead during the original plane crash ..... which is was not. It is difficult to remember 6 years worth of show at the end of a series like this. Rewatching it in just a few weeks time on Hulu is much more satisfying.

I was STILL confused even after watching it multiple times!!! Just today did someone finally explain it so that I understood exactly what happened. Thanks :)

Only generically

@cohenhaywood10 the fact that you still don't understand how season 6 was different and didn't need the 1st 5 seasons to explain it shows us you need to go watch, maybe a sitcom. Not hard to follow the plot of those.

@@paranormaltheorist stupid idiot

Let me be the pathetic one to say that I think they all died in the plane crash and that the island is a transition between life and the afterlife. When you die on the island you have endured the purgatory and proven your right to go to heaven. However the island needs a guardian which is why Hurley must stay to make sure the newcomers will prove their worth. Just my pathetic theory

gris186 thats a good theory, but it isn't how it actually goes. It's literally explained in this scene that everything that happened to them was real, the island wasn't purgatory, the flash sideways were. It's all in this dialogue.

If Claire was dead in the crash, she would never given birth to Aaron. Even Jin & Sun wouldn't have conceived their daughter. If all the characters were dead in the first place, they would have never developed those feelings of love and friendship that connected them at the end of the story.

I finished Lost recently, for the first time. I remember in 2010 i watched parts of The End" without watching the show (only watched some episodes and/or scenes), and since then i always thought they were dead the whole time because of the people you mention, i mean was that a popular belief or what? I really thought that was the reason people hated the ending (because that would be awful), but it didn't happen like that. So, WTF? I don't get people. I bet many of them didn't watched the whole show. Lost ended up being better than i thought it would be.

You're right. It wouldn't make any sense if they were really dead the whole time. Some people bashed the ending without even understanding it, some fans disliked it because of a supposed lack of answers, but Lost was always more about the characters than about the mysteries. What happened on the screen, flashbacks, life on island and flashforwards about 3 years off the island of the Oceanic Six's group, it all really happened. The flashsideways in season 6 were a place that the ex-losties created together to meet each other again after their deaths. Every character's death happened at different times: Shannon and Boone died in 2004, Sun,Jin, Juliet and Jack in 2007, Claire and Kate it's not known when, because the Ajira's group left the island at the end while Jack's dying, etc. Ji Yeon and Aaron lived their life off the island. They were in the church together to move on just as we ever knew and loved them, i.e. Aaron as a baby because they even knew him as a baby. All the characters will be connected forever from the relationships of love and friendship, since the love can survive everything. Not only the characters but even the viewers are involved in letting go and moving on together. A strong spiritual ending so touching and actually beautiful.

+KTBMedia It's a joke. Like people still love Lost even after all this time.

+KTBMedia People still can't move on from the greatest show ever. We're obsessed with it to this day.

KTB it seems you haven't moved on

"After all this time?" Always

His intense acts as a ''Super High Profile Doctor Jack Shepard'' 10/10 His emotional acts as '' Depressed broken Jack'' ''Being a believer like John Lock after back to the island'' 100/10

He deserved a Emmy for this scene

@@edgarvinicius1765 Giacchino did wonders with his scoring of the whole series, and I'm glad it got him into the film world, more than video games. Really a marvelous body of work for this series in particular, though.

@@landshark321 His score really was one of the best parts of the show. Life & Death (when Boone died) was always my favorite. And his style is very recognizable. I've heard him many times on the Science Channel during shows about space.

Ricardo Ribeiro His scoring was better than most feature films. It was something very special to LOST.

shadowofthestatue i dont watch a lot of shows anymore so i dont know how their soundtracks are, but with LOST, the thing i liked about LOST soundtracks are that they were original scores. we rarely heard any music that had singing in it, except a few in season 1 but that was it. they didn't use any mainstream music which in my mind was perfect because LOST had to feel like it was in its own universe.

I agree 100%! Fantastic score! Music can make or break a film or a TV series....think Rocky.

GORDO HUMILDE , notice the stain glass window behind him? You don't see those in churches. This show is way deeper than most realize. Darma, shambala ....all of it. Darma is CERN. The island is our 3D reality here.

@cohenhaywood10 this place was built by them, only for those who were there in the island. The siblings and others you are talking about is actually in the after life. If they move on from this place, they will meet them there.

i come back here in a moment in my life to remember and feel what's really important in my life

It just brought me tears 10 minutes ago... Wait, that was something in my eye. 😆

Final episode is 10 years old today! Crazy how time flies by.

but we don't want. =(

dude you killed me.

facts

great comment and idea and vision !

@charitydiary after Christian asks Jack How are you here, there is a pause and a single note on the piano. Sublime.

Me too.

now you made me cry niagara falls Kurt... wish you the best in life..

I know that feel bro i.imgur.com/I8Jjy.png

Hope you all get there

I forgot how he looked like. I forgot his voice. Never had the chance to talk much to him. I don't even know if i miss him but i hope he is there for me when the time comes.

lol I died at 'sniff' 😂😂

yes! it truly upsets me when complain they didn't get any answers. How, after watching this ending can they not understand it was always about the people. The island and its mysteries were just an added bonus. I didnt need to understand everything about the place. They needed eachother and that was enough for me 😊

Couldnt agree more

Indeed at least one of the best just as six feet under or fringe's ends for instance. The fact is that people wanted to have a clear answer as 2+2=4. Those people didn't understand the show at all.

makeal Exactly. The show is great because of its mystery. Not just that, obviously, but that's a big part of it.

@HI HEY HELLO I know I’m stupid 💀 I took me almost 2 hours to understand

That's sad if you believe that.

+Liam Brockman What's wrong about that ending dude?

The finale was perfect, just a great, compelling, creative cap on a fantastic show.

Max Shaw Ugh if you don't get how this Whole Sideways world is a metaphor for the whole show then damn man, you weren't paying attention.

The overall plot of Lost was people who had fucked up pasts coming to terms with it. The Island was just a fancy backdrop for that. So this ending has everything to do with the overall plot of Lost.

I’ve lost both my parents, but I was rewatching the show in 2019, and finished shortly after my Mom’s passing. When he calls Jack “son”, I realized I’d never hear someone call me that again.

Absolutely 💯

My girlfriend lost both of her parents at a young age, 10 years before I met her. We watched this series together (my first time, she had seen it before), and this scene left me in tears. I have yet to find another scene that portrays the grief and loss of losing a parent, but also the peace in knowing they are at peace wherever they are. Beautifully done finale

I lost my dad after this came out and before I saw it as a sweet scene. Now I know it’s how I want to be told I’m dead by my dad………

@@jerseydbo❤

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Same brother, same.

They are dumb. They need every little explanations. The main thing is that they don't have to think for themselves.

People Are stupid they watched season 1 half of 2 came back for the finale and said it was stupid.

I like to think the Island rewarded them with the sideways world because they ultimately saved it and the world.

Desmond was the constant, he could move his conciousness back in time and into the future AND even into the future where he was already dead in the flash sideways world :)

I believe the heart of the island is the light shining through the church doors as Christan walks through. He's moving on, his life and consciousness being absorbed back into the light.

I would have loved a Ben and Hurley mini series

It buffles me too. The ending offers closure in the best way possible. It's a happy but not cheesy ending. They got redemption and a happy afterlife. They moved on. The transformation of Jack from a man of science to a man of faith, his outbursts up until the moment thathe realized it's his destiny to protect the island, i don't care what anyone says, Lost is in my top 2 shows!

the Smoke Locke thing sucks. I really hate that, it just means John killed himself.

@@handsomestikhe didn’t kill himself he was killed? did you even watch the show??

Isn't that a reflection of life...many have survived drug gangs, separatist violence, terrorism, abuse, war, or horrific personal losses like a losing family members in a house fire or car accident. We are compelled to remember them, honor what they've meant to us...and let THEM GO. Sometimes it's about forgiving the harms done to us and letting the pain and anger or fear go. Sometimes it's letting go of a very powerfully strong attachment to someone and then we can move on...to wherever that might be.

I love the wrap up. My sister is dying of Brain Cancer. This metaphor of death helped my minister to her. I find it touching.

The way I look at it all the answer questions that we didn’t get from it that’s life you’re not always going to understand why things happen in life you just have to MoveOn.

To me the ending is similar to the idea put forth in the Film What Dreams May Come. When we die we create a reality and of our own with our mind or uh spirit. The cast all did this but also had strong ties to each other which is why they would always kind of be in a similar world but didn't know each other. Once everyone passed away they were able to reconnect.

Me too.

I'm with you.

stats say you're likely to die of a disease or old age in your sleep, then your consciousness snuffs out like a candle, forever.

TalkingApeMan then your an idiot.

Jeff Haught You made me laugh like a little bitch.

EnveeH2 What about Charlie's

Yeah, that's mean that it doesn't matter what religion you follow to, everybody is going to the same place after death.

Lucas Marini a beautiful sentiment

Can anyone confirm that it's moving? I've seen it moving a bit. At 2:18. But not in fullscreen.

It's one of the most heart breaking moments. It's not precisely sad but you are feeling the emotional build-up ready to explode from everything that we've been through.

:(

That love is forever.

A place between the physical world and eternity. A place where we are able to remember our physical lives, to let go of that life and welcome our movement into eternity. The wave becoming the ocean once again.
