I, as well as my wife and brothers, have been loyal and dedicated followers of Lost for the six years it has been on television.  It was the first show my wife and I watched together and it has allowed me to keep track of how long we have been together (Thank you JJ Abrams).  I absolutely love the show, and even though I became frustrated with the way they created more questions than answers, I still think it was the greatest show to ever grace the television.

That being said, I loved the finale.  If you were going into it expecting answers to all the questions, you would be sorely disappointed.  However, I was not.  I enjoyed the journey I took with these castaways and liked the fact that we got as many answers as they did.  What was the bird talking to Hurley all about?  Who cares.  If Hurley never found out, or cared to, then why should we.

What  I enjoyed most about the last episode was the ending.  I do know that the plane crash shown at the end really threw people off, but the writers even said that the stuff on the island really happened.  That is enough for me.  I am going to try not to read into it.  When all the characters met in that spiritual world and everything finally went right for them, I no longer cared about what happened on the island.  The island gave us the characters but it was more of a journey we took with them.

I do understand why people did not really enjoy the ending.  It did leave a lot of unanswered questions.  Why was Walt so important?  Supposedly they will answer that on the Blu-Ray release.

In the end, it was the perfect way to end the show.  I never once found it cheesy or as a way to get out of answering questions.  Thank you very much for giving me six years of enjoyment.  My only question is, what is next for us?

Ok, now that the season is over I will give you my thoughts on the Season Finale and where I think it can go from here

I did enjoy it a lot, not all of the commercials every two minutes but the show itself. They said people were going to die and they were right…Julia, Sayid, and Locke (again). I was thinking Miles would die but enjoy his character. While many answers were solved, more questions arose.

This is where I think it is going.

If you remember the opening scene, you had two men on the beach of the island, one being Jacob. They discussed a loophole and the fact that one day the other man would find a way to kill Jacob. I think these two represent good and evil. It seems like a game where one tries to outdo the other. I also think they have been there for thousands of years, playing this game. Jacob seems to be good, believing that the human spirit will triumph over evil and will bring men to the island to prove it. I think this was going on for a long time because of the ancient Egyptian statue looking out into the water and also the boat arriving on the island. The boat looked to be 16th century. It also looks like Jacob handpicks his players in this game, as you saw from the flashbacks when he met all the major characters.

I don’t really understand the loophole that got the second man back on the island, as the character of Locke, but obviously it has something to do with taking over a body of a dead person. Does that mean that Christian, Jack’s dad, is also evil or part of this game?

I do think Jacob, as the form of Jacob, is dead. Who will take the place of him?

Jack

I think that is his destiny. Jack and Locke, as Jack and Locke, faced off in the first few seasons. Now they will face off as the two men, good and evil.
