So they didn't all die in the original plane crash? That's what the show led me to believe.

I didn't take it that way.

This is, obviously, what they meant by saying fans would still have questions. Hopefully they give us a final word one way or the other on Kimmel.

Nope. The people that survived, actually survived. The people that made it off the island, made it off the island the lived their lives. However, not until the island was saved was everyone's souls able to move on.

Exactly.

Christian even said: "Some died before you, some died after" and we know when Jack died, we saw the plane leave the Island. Those people made it off the Island and lived their lives, but for their entire lives their souls were still locked in the "most important moments of their lives" - until Jack was able to save the Island show everyone that it was okay to let go and move on.

That's how I saw it as well. I thought the finale was amazing until the last 5 minutes. I can't figure out if I was disappointed in the "reveal" or just disappointed with it being over.

I gotta say I'm confused as hell. And right now, I'm pissed! Like someone mentioned, the writers said, emphatically, that the Losties were not in purgatory. And yet, they were?

Or was just the side-way's storyline pergatory with the Island being real?

Right now I feel like I just lost 6 years of my life.
I also feel like others that the writers changed their minds half-way through.
What started off as a great mystery featuring the Others, Dharma and cool scientific experiments ended in complete garbage.

So if they were all dead, where does Daniel and his time traveling come in?
What did it mean for those people that died from the time travel (ie, the red head). How about the sickness that some experienced when getting near the island?

So did Ben die with his mom and dad the day he was born?

But I guess it would explain why people couldn't get pregnant on the island - they were dead!!!

However, so much doesn't make sense at all. And if the producers thought "Hey, it's purgatory anything can happen" they can shove it up their butts!

Right now, I feel like that was one of the worst episodes yet. So many questions.
I'm hoping that with more time to digest it gets better.
But the ending I would have preferred would have been Desmond unplugging the hole, Smokie goes human, he's killed. This gives Ben the idea that his job is now open. He dives into the hole, comes out as smokie and the final scene shows Jack and Ben on the beach playing chess with another plane or boat crashing into the island and Jack saying "Here we go again".
That would have been cool.

But this whole purgatory explanation, to me, is a complete copout to explain crap the writers made up that they had no idea how to explain.

I mean, how does someone die of poisonous spiders and being buried alive in purgatory???

kinda second this thougth. I have said it before, the mystery of the island and everything that was secret about was great. That is what drew me to the show.

They weren't in purgatory until this final season. Everything that happened during the first 5 seasons actually happened. This season's "flash sideways" thing OFF island were their souls in purgatory, but they weren't able to move on until they each realized that they were dead. But they all didn't die on the island. Some DID make it off and lived their lives, but it wasn't until Jack "saved" the island were everyone else able to eventually move on.

Then why did Juliet say to Sawyer "it worked" before she died?
Was she seeing herself pass on to Heaven?

And someone mentioned that during the credits you saw all the bodies piled up on the beach. I have a Canadian feed and it's not unusual for them to go to the next program and skip the credits, so I didn't see this.
Can someone confirm or deny this ending?

Ok, I still don't get it though. When did the people who survived till the end die?

Re: *** Lost: Season 6 (Final Season) ***

Yup.

As Christian said, "Some died later."

They lived their life and then died as normal. We don't know when, or how.

That's how I'm taking it.

With Kimmel just starting, hopefully we get the answers.

Please do. My canadian feed of the broadcast cut off during the credits so I didn't see this.
If this is true, how can anyone say that the Island wasn't purgatory?

They died after living whatever life they lived off-island.

I did not see any bodies.

I also did not hear Juliet say that "it worked". But even if that were the case, whatever they had to do on the island they had to do to get Jack to the position to save the island. I'm also spitballing here, and there are things that I don't get either.
