But That was epic! :) I cant believe I pulled it off without reading any spoilers. I think from now on, I am gonna do that with most of my favorite shows, watch them in chunks of like 5 episodes. Its a lot less annoying! :)
But anyways, I thought it was a pretty decent ending. there were definitely cop outs, but I can understand that. With all the theories running around about every aspect of the series, it was difficult to surprise the fans, since they analyse it sooo much. But they had to put something unpredicatable for the finale.
I believe that originally, it was definitely meant to be purgatory, the whole thing, not just the parallel universe part. BUt at some point, they probably decided to change it because everyone else had guessed it. The not being able to have babies, definitely points to that, since its purgatory, except for Claires kid of course who was already pregnant.
But yeah, like someone else said, it was emotionally good of an ending, but definitely not intellectually. This is more for the people who like lovey dovey stuff, everyone ends up in couples, and happy endings, even though they are dead already. WHatever, if you like that sort of thing. I dont mind, but I didnt like lost so much because of its couples, but mainly because of all the crazy unexplained happenings!
So, they havent explained A LOT of the things that went on in the first 3 to 4 seasons. I think they should have answered a lot of the small detailed mysteries, little by little throughout the season, but they didnt so much.
Could have been better, but it was pretty good. I never put all the weight of a show on its season finale anyways. It rarely lives up to expectations. The whole body of the show is so good, that I dont care if everything isnt answered. Its one of the mystery of lost!
Sad though, cant believe its actually all over! i felt the same when battlestar gaLLACTIca ended!
