LOST Series Finale Interpretation & Thoughts

This is my recap, interpretation and thoughts regarding the LOST series finale which aired last night, May 23, 2010. The two and half hour episode entitled "The End" truly did the show justice and presented the audience with some amazing philosophies on life and religion.

choice was the most important message, i believe in the constantly branching idea of it, that every action, reaction, choice, decision branches/forks and nothing is really relevant yet everything is!

[ForeverG5]

@monstercameron In essence, I agree. Every action had a reaction and there was a dynamic of choice yet a contradicting dynamic of fate, both of which drove the story and the finale.

@ ForeverG5 Ok I completely agree with you but explain this to me..... explain the character of Locke... how he started then his encounter with jacob the 1st time.... then after he is hung.... where does he fit in all of it?

[ForeverG5]

@seanwhitaker05 You have to remember that Locke's life ended when he was hung. That was the end of his story. John Locke's main purpose on the island was to provoke the minds of the other survivors. Jack admits in the finale that he knows John Locke was right about everything (meaning that they were on the island for a reason, etc.). Without John Locke presenting those ideas to Jack and the others, their journey on the island never would have began (they never would've found the hatch, etc.)...

Best interpretation I've heard yet, but when do you think that Jack actually died?

In the crash? The bomb? From bleeding to death?

[ForeverG5]

@AdamEastman9 Thanks for the kind words :) At the time that I made this video, I thought it was when he bled to death. Now that I'm watching the series over on DVD I'm beginning to possibly think a little differently. I'll be making a follow up video within the week so keep your eyes peeled!

I would be kind of disappointed if they tried to answer everything, in the finale, as it would not only feel rushed and a bit of a cop out, but it would take away alot of the mysteries that make LOST what it is :D

I have to agree with ForeverG5 in that the finale was a fantastic ending, especially for those who have watched it from the beginning(like me :P).

I loved how it ended where it began... it felt complete :)

@stingray2001 - Something about the journey being more important than the destination.

[boneworx]

@anth0nyyy91 - Some mystery always remains. Any answer which claims to remove all mystery is a lie.

@ForeverG5 awh =/

The ending was a lame and it made the last 2 seasons point less.

i was a massive lost fan , and watched it every week, but i have to say that for me the ending let me down man, i wanna know who built that big statue that jacob lived in( the human body with dog face) and how comes people like eko that big black guy and the cop and michael was not at the church at the end as well? the produces always said they new the whole story from start to end but i reckon they started making it up as they went along towards the end. anyway it was still a great show
