Man that fight. God bless you Bender. Really glad that they at least had a really well done fight sequence. The gray colors with the cliffs, rain, and sky, as well as Giacchino's final boss music and crane shots was just spectacular.

I think its a great scene. I totally agree with the IGN review where they said they like to think of him laughing at the absurdity of what he just did.

Wait, the ending scene with the wreckage was added by ABC and not the producers of Lost? Holy shit wtf.
Well that makes sense, because showing the wreck at that point makes no sense.

I love the implications of that. That Flight 815, the Swan implosion, Eko's church, etc, are all remnants of their time there, much as the Dharma stations/barracks, the Temple, Statue, etc are all icons of other people and civilizations that have come and gone over the years.

I thought the whole thing was quite poetic. A darkened room, my sister and I sobbing uncontrollably to the sound of crashing waves.cnizzle06 said:
Solo said:Its depressingly funny that the interpretation that the media is running with (they all died in S1) would ruin the series :lol :lol :lol
Like I said: ABC has made a statement saying that they added the photos in the end credits themselves after the fact and that it has nothing to do with the plot. From what I've seen, that one moment is what confused most people, so.
Now all that has to happen is every single person who saw the finale has to also see that clarification.
Good luck with that, ABC. And brilliant, by the way. :lol

edit: Oh, late now. :lol I posted about it a couple hours ago and hadn't seen it mentioned in the thread (which was weird) and didn't see any responsible immediately after. Unless I missed a discussion much earlier in the day and the LA Times thing wasn't the first?
That's fine, however the plane is not there at the end of the show. If they'd have shown the little huts they built, R&Bs cabin etc, that'd imply what I think you're saying. The plane crash seems to imply something different.Aesius said:
I do like the credits, I think it's kind of cool, however, the idea of essentially adding something to the end of a series such as this without the consent of the showrunners is really horrible.

I feel like when you rewatch it you'll feel differently. At least, hopefully? To me this season was the perfect culmination, at least after the reveal in the end. The idea that they have this second chance almost to see what life would have been like without the island's impact, but then given the choice they are all so much happier remembering everything, even all their pain. That's so great. That they think everything in the previous five seasons was so important and so necessary that they just cry tears of joy, just from remembering it. It's less separate, I feel, and more an elevation or culmination. It's what everything else was building to.
I don't think fans would be confused at all, however, a casual viewer who hasn't been watching all the time, hears everyone is dead, don't know what the 'flashsideways' are, sees everyone apparently going to heaven after leaving purgatory (the rumor since the first episode of how the show would end) see's the crashed plane, this time with no sign of survivors. I could see why this would add confusion.Vanille said:
In truth, I did not see the credits when I watched the episode. I saw them the day after when I read someone mention it on GAF. I like the credits, and I'm very sure it wouldn't have confused me at all, however, I can see why it would, and if nothing else, it's deeply immoral of ABC to do this.

Parts of the plane are still there. They burned the middle section of the fuselage, but there are remnants of the plane all over the island.
The wreckage during the credits was added by ABC for to be a buffer between the show and the news and may have nothing to do with Darlton's vision of the finale, but it made me realize that the survivors left their own mark on the island in the same manner as the Black Rock and the builders of the Statue. Of course, not everyone will interpret it that way, but I like it.

Believe me, I've watched the hell out of this show, including the finale (DL from my PS3). The parallels were nostalgic, and the mirror-imaging worked well, but I still think the final twist should've been more relative to the entire show as a whole. When people I know who have stopped watching midway through ask me how it ended, I'm like, "they were dead, but not really, er...you'd have to watch the final season to get it." It doesn't sit right with me. The series ender to a show should be a culmination of all the seasons before it, and I just felt it wasnt sufficient...I dont know.
My memory of it is the plane was dragged away by the sea, that's the excuse the show used for not using the plane parts again. I don't believe they appear after the episode where they drag all the suitcases from the sea in season one. With the exceptions of the parts used to build little huts.Aesius said:

No big deal, I was just responding to a post a couple above mine where he said he had to explain that the survivors were "dead" (if I understand him right), I was just trying to clarify that the x timeline was an epilogue of sorts, taking place in the Lost afterlife and that the survivors did not die in the original crash.
This is something I've been wondering about since the finale. Before that, I presumed the Epytians were after, there is no sign of them in ATS. On the 'door' to the summoning room in Ben's house shows an image of Smokey, implying it was after MiB became Smokey. The donkey wheel, which we know was build after ATS has Egyptian material all over it. However, the plug has Egyptian shit all over it. And I can't understand when the plug production took place.Fatghost said:
some food for thoughtStuBurns said:
- Though you don't see the Temple, Statue, etc, there is nothing at all that says that they aren't there. Remember ATS takes place in one small area of the Island, pretty much where the Losties crashed...and there were no ruins or anything there
- MIB and Jacob were playing Senet an ancient Egyptian game more than 3000 years older than them
- The Egyptians carved into caves and tunnels all over the Island. Whoever finished the Wheel (MIB himself probably) must have done it in those caves.
The wall that MIB was going to use for the wheel in ATS was already there, so there are most likely a few more caves with such walls with the Light behind them.
