LOST discussion - thar be spoilers ahead!

[The ill Jedi]

The Finale was beautiful, I cried several times, mostly at the realization that it would be the last new episode of Lost I would ever see.

It's been a good 6 years and I now have a sense of fulfillment and peace. This is and always will me my favorite show, I loved the characters and the story always kept you guessing. I plan on picking up the complete box set, but I will truly miss lost.

BEN is not going to move on without Alex & Danielle... thats what i think at least.

In a way, yeah. I think he was truly better off in Purgatory WITH them, then moving on without them.

 

[Karma]

it was so good to see the real john locke at the end, the man who knew they were there for a reason and was right

I figured it was well into the future and Jack was the last to let go. Obviously some of them dead before others so they were all waiting around in this other place. I still think it was useless.

the thing is i looked at the church meeting as being outside time or at the end of time, so at that point everyone would be dead. everyone was meeting together to move on as one group of people. kind of like in scripture where everyone moves on into the new heavens and the new earth.

I kind of like that for a show that took us forward in time and back in time that we ended up in a place that was time-less.

Yea I agree that at those moments it was where ever and everyone was dead but I figured their dead spirits or whatever were still lost and needed to all come together so they could go to heaven or whatever you final after life of choice is.

Lost's Mr. Eko Turned Down Finale Guest Spot!

Why didn't Mr. Eko come back?

It's one of the most asked questions about Lost's final season. After all, everyone else returned! So what gives?

Sources tell me exclusively:

Lost's Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje--who played the iconic Mr. Eko--was offered a guest spot in last night's Lost series finale, but he...wait for it...turned it down.

According to ABC and Lost insiders, Adewale was offered a hearty sum to do one scene in the last hurrah, but the actor wanted five times the amount that was offered. It didn't work out.

How and where would Adewale have popped up in the finale? I guess we'll never know, but he was definitely loved by many fans before his character's demise.

Eko (a warlord who pretended to be a priest in order to smuggle drugs) was the fifth character to die on Lost, after facing the Smoke Monster for a second time and getting attacked, and then telling Locke, "I saw the devil."

Producers have said their original plan was for Mr. Eko to stay on the show four seasons, but they released Adewale from his contract after only one season because he wanted off the Island.

Leggo my Eko!

Would you have liked to see Adewale/Eko in the finale, or did it feel just fine without him? Comment below...

I was actually think this the whole time, I wanted My. Ecko back.


Actually I was really hoping that he would have been in the jail scene dressed up like this man.

I thought it was a satisfying ending, but I'm downright puzzled how many people are thinking the entire show was purgatory (it wasn't, they were alive and the events happened). Had a few people on my facebook feed posting that, it's like they managed to outright ignore the dialog, haha.

I was curious about Mr. Eko so that explains it pretty well, how unfortunate.

On a tangential note, the high point of the episode for me was the showdown between Jack and Locke on the cliff. Just speaking on the directing and composition of those action sequences, it was awesome. When Jack and Locke were facing off and Jack did that leaping punch (right before cutting to commercials), I uttered "epic" out loud. That was a really well shot fight scene.

epic

I agree! That was amazing. I had to rewind that a couple times!

I agree. Pay attention people!

And for all those obsessed with answers - I feel very sorry for you in your life. In life you don't GET every answer. You don't get to know everything. Why then should a TV show spoon feed and give you answers to every last little detail. I remember a long time back hearing Darlton say the show was about life - and this finale more than affirmed that.

For those who also want the answers to certain mysteries, I believe the producers have said some will be answered on the bonus DVD in August and the LOST encyclopedia will also contain answers to some mysteries not addressed in the show.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I've never really been stumped by LOST, but I'm finally confused by this finale.

I thought I had the alt universe figured out. Boy, was I wrong.

I thought the whole black rock/white rock was the seed explanation. That the island universe was the "black rock" and the sidesways universe was the "white". Bad things have to happen in the black universe so that good things can happen in the "white universe". I thought Ben's storylines clearly defined that. So I expected the writers to have a field day with death scenes for everyone in the black universe and still have happy endings for all in the white -- the balance of the universes.

But that is clearly too simple.

Trouble is, I don't know what the hell the sideways universe is now. Nor do I really understand the church. I get the idea of "no time" and everyone has come together across time -- I just don't know why. Seems more like an excuse to have a reunion shot of the cast.

As always, so many questions...

I still love LOST and will miss it dearly. I hope I have some clarity about the ending one day... before I die.

Well, the way I see it the series is about a group of people who share many similarities (as explicitly said in the final chapter)...they are all people with unresolved problems who eventually have an accident and end up in an island/limbo/purgatory/heaven etc. To ME, as I say, they all died in that accident , something which has been hinted from the very frst chapters (remember conversation between Rose and Jack sitting by the sea).

All the events that take `place afterwards are really a matter of spiritual belief imo but I think the whole series has been a process of self-discovery, a process of forgiveness, a process thanks to which they finally join together in THE light, being lost never more.

They didn't die in the crash and to say that is to ignore dialogue that expressly contradicts that in the episode. They all survived, everything on the Island happened, some died before Jack, some long after (Christian says this to Jack in the "church"). The meaning of the sunken island - these people were free of the Islands influence on them, letting them be the people they always wanted to be. The perfect examples of this are Hugo being the luckiest guy alive, Daniel being an accomplished pianist, Eloise being the loving wife and mother, Ben having a good relationship with his father and starting a life with Rousseau and Danielle.

I dont think the Sideways story was useless just filled with to many holes.Why was everyone waiting for Jack?? The ones that escaped on the plane werent dead yet, why would they be waiting for him?

Or was this well in the future when they had all died and he was the last to "let go"?

Yep, well in the future after they had all died.

Again, this is said outright in the show.

They weren't waiting. Time didn't really exist in the sideways. Christian said to Jack that "some died before him and some died long after". The concept of time was no longer relevant to them.

Exactly.

I guess we no longer......

Need the spoiler tags for this thread!

Just preoredered the complete series on Blueray. I was going to wait for the LOTR EE on Blueray but I think this set is the straw that broke the camel's back.

The best part is--Miles made it off the Island with the diamonds!!!
