I'm glad they didn't. It would have ruined the show. But it does mean that that in the entire Flash Sideways they were dead. I guess it was a little too Sixth Sense-ish for me. Still love the show. It was definitely one of my favorites, maybe second favorite. I think I liked 24 a little more. <br /><br />Stephen--also interesting that you can be a total jerk and still be cool. I love how the show played with and then tore apart all stereotypes.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17510496276227984635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23398034.post-44914676962845236442010-05-27T09:30:42.420-05:002010-05-27T09:30:42.420-05:00I like that they made the book worm NOT a nerd.

Some died on the island. Some got off the island and died later. Some (Hurley, Ben) stayed on the island and died later.<br /><br />The key is that all of them died at some point, and met in the church--a location that exists outside time ("There is no 'now' here," as Christian stated).<br /><br />The gist I took away is that the time on the island, the connections forged there, were what truly mattered. Not until the Losties understood that, and specifically until Jack understood that, could they all "move on." (Whatever you read "moving on" to be, but that's another story.)<br /><br />Others have phrased it much better, but that's my take on it. I loved the finale, and I'll truly miss the show.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839527921203971596noreply@blogger.com
