Lost has finally come to an end, and while Ginger still has a few eps to catch up on (ha!), Hayley here with thoughts, scoop, answers, theories, opinions, et al.
The End of LOST was great. Sure, some people may say they weren't satisfied, but their only argument is "It didn't answer all my nit-picky questions!" Now, I'm as analytical as the next Lostie (possibly more so, it's up for debate), but I was able to put aside my "But whyyyy" attitude and just enjoy the characters of the show, which is what Darlton (Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse) intended all along. Okay, you can argue that they didn't intend anything all along, and only began to plan an ending after the pilot and season 1 were received so very well. However, if that's the case, they did an inspired job of it.
The 1 hour, 45 minute (running time) finale of Lost didn't answer "what is the Island?" or "what is the Light?" or even "who is Jacob?" in a way that could satisfy. But is that even possible? I am of the firm belief that if Darlton and JJ had created a show that introduced a million physical, spiritual, psychological, metaphysical, mechanical questions, and then answered them all neatly--the show would have felt (and been) unbelievably contrived. Lost wasn't about answers, it was about people.
So, if you want explanations of the finale, dvd spoilers, or a few random questions answered--check out Watch With Kristin (she's my #1 source for all things television). The man in black has a name, Mr. Eko's proposed paycheck wasn't quite hefty enough, Ben and Hurley and Vincent may have had 12 or so minutes of their own footage before they moved on, and, most importantly...when are we gonna find out what happened to Walt?? =)
Here is my FAVORITE clip--ever. (But specifically from the finale):
Charlie, Claire, Aaron - on Hulu
