except it wasn't. that's not me being stubborn either. it wasn't vague. it was pretty clear.
it's just that most people didn't actually watch the show. they were so consumed with the mystery of the island, they completely missed the point of the show - like basically everyone in this forum.
i'll say it one more time:
the show was not about the island and it's mysteries. the show was about these people being all lost in their lives. jacob brought them to the island to see which one of them could find their purpose and become the protector of the island. the show was about exploring yourself, the deepest parts of your self, and being. in the end, jack had it. hurley had it.
the others came close, and while they may not have ultimately fulfilled their possible destiny, they still found a purpose in their lives finally. kate had aaron. sawyer had juliet, and his revenge. sun and jin truly found each other. etc.
DO WE GET IT NOW?

my happy ending was them all getting off that island, ALIVE. to me, that was what the purpose of the story was about, these ppl trying to leave.

Originally posted by majorsal View Posti understand what you're saying -and what the show was saying- but the series, to me, didn't start off this way. again, to me, it was a story about a bunch of ppl stranded on a tropical island and wanted to get off.
as the series went on, all the science and mystical stuff built up, but i felt the last season decided to *just* do the mystical end, so they didn't have to explain all the massive amounts of questions they'd built up.
yeah, they got off the island, but only 'some' of them did, and some died and some continued to be stranded.
it's me, but that's not exactly my type of happy ending.
So, it sounded like you wanted them to get off the island alive - well most of them did. And the two guys - Hurley and Ben - chose to stay on the island because they wanted to. Isnt this what you wanted?- The Truth is Out There!

(You have to assume Hurley) lived a lot longer on Earth than Jack. So, actually most people - Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Ben, Sayid - got to live much longer on Earth after Jack died.

I didn't mind the ending the first time through. Didn't totally love it, but didn't mind it. But the more time passes and the more I watch it, I like it quite a lot.
I am so blessed! Cherriey made this cool sig; scarimor made this great Dr. Lee smilie and Spudster made another neat one Dr. Lee RULES!

Lost is a great series. My only problem with it is that for all the foresight and detail that went into the first five seasons, the last season gives vague explanations.
I've also found that many people misunderstand the ending to mean that they were all dead the entire time rather than dying separately and the afterlife being timeless. Many also still believe it to be an alternate reality instead of a higher plane of being.
