Jesus references? The church that everyone was gathered in had symbols from various religions and it never favored one religion over another. It would be wrong for the show to detach itself from from the faith/spirituality aspects since that was a theme from the very beginning. Really I think you are reaching to say it had "Jesus" references. Religious references? Definitely. Eko was probably the most Christian character they had and he died quite awhile back.

About Miles, he never made a really strong connection with anyone there. Yeah he was with them for awhile but he never fell in love or got really close to anyone there. Most of the time he was more interested in saving his own skin.

I like to think that Miles and Lapidus made more important connections after they left the island, and Moved on in a different way than the Losties.

Good point, to those at the church, the most important connections they ever made were to those on the island.

BTW what is up with Ben not going into the church? My only theory is that he is now the protector of the island after Hugo gave it up, and since he is like Jacob probably has the ability to be aware of the purgatory realm.

Hmm, I never thought of that, it makes sense. I figured he still wanted to make amends with Alex, His Father, and Rousseau.

Very possible. That is why I liked the ending, I don't think there is a right answer beyond the fact that they all didn't die in the plane crash, something the creators have stressed for quite awhile.

I wonder what the wreckage with no life around it was for though at the end?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #556 on:** May 25, 2010, 01:46:35 AM »

I bet the wreckage footage was shot way back at the beginning of season one.

That is what I thought, it was kind of a homage to the pilot. If the wreckage was shown pre "LOST" symbol it would probably mean something which it wasn't.

You know the more I think about Lost's ending I think it was almost perfect, I mean it was brilliantly written and directed. It wrapped up the lives of all the characters we cared most about.

About the mysteries, I'll admit I was disappointed some weren't wrapped up, but you know it was smart. Lost will live on for years to come with people debating the clues in the show and coming to their own conclusions. For example with the smoke monster, did anyone else notice the skeletons in the cavern with the light?What was their meaning, could they have been previous vessels for the smoke monster?

I loved how the creators made the analogy Jacob gave Richard of what the island was keeping contained with a cork, turns out it was a mystical cork. Hilarious stuff.

I think Ben didn't go into the church, because he could connect in a different way with his daughter, and actually have a real relationship with her mother Danielle.

He was never and will never be connect with the Losties the same way. He never really garnered their trust...except for 3 people. Now, I am still processing everything with the story. I feel that it was smart not to give all the answers and the ending was amazing. But, I have a weird feeling from the experience, like it is resolved, but I don't know what to think or how to feel about it.

I'm so glad I never got into this show. IIRC the writers basically made it up as they went along...makes the "ending" seem extra lame. Oh well, I don't care.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #560 on:** May 25, 2010, 12:50:19 PM »

Can someone help me with a list of the unsolved mysteries? The only ones that I really noticed was what made Walt so special and why babies weren't born correctly on the island.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #561 on:** May 25, 2010, 02:25:50 PM »

The babies issue was caused by the incident. The electromagnetic glowing yellow light boosts the immune system and causes the mother's body to attack itself.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #562 on:** May 25, 2010, 02:57:39 PM »

So out of 50 ish people survivors from Flight 815 only.... FOUR make it off the island?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #563 on:** May 25, 2010, 03:59:21 PM »

Lesse...

Walt
Kate
Sawyer

Nope, only three!

(Jacob was worse than Man in Black ever was)

Oh well then, how about that! Wish I noticed that when it was explained. Was there any reason why Sun and Claire were ok? Was it because Desmond didn't push the button so electro energy was released and didn't disrupt anyone's body?

Also I don't think it was ever explained what was happening when Ben took Lock to see Jacob and stuff started flying around everywhere. Ben later admitted he lied about talking to Jacob(as if he were invisible) but also revealed he was very surprised when things started flying around the room. Could it have just been the smoke monster but we couldn't tell cause it was so dark and he turned his funny noises on mute?

Also was the smoke monster some kind of ancient god/diety?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #566 on:** May 25, 2010, 04:21:27 PM »

I forgot about Claire. (Just like the rest of the castaways did, HA!)

Claire was impregnated off the island so she didn't have her full pregnancy in the electromagnetic radiation.
Sun got off the island before it killed her.

I watched the first season and started the 2nd but it got too crazy to stay focused on. All of the seasons are on Netflix so I might start up watching again.

Really? How many shots of that big statue of Jesus were there in the finale? If it's more than 1, it's too many. It wasn't even in the background. The statue was right in front of the camera so I don't think I'm reaching at all.

Then Christian Shepherd led them all to heaven.

oddly, Carlton Cuse is Catholic, but Damon Lindelof is Jewish.

No sign of Nikki & Paolo either....

Though they made fun of the name right in the show.

ThePerm · « **Reply #572 on:** May 25, 2010, 08:06:56 PM »

you know i never noticed the name before hand, I just thought of it as Jack Shepherd's dad who is named Christian.

So....

After watching the finale...would you recommend watching the series?

Absolutely, this goes up there with X-files, Buffy, and Angel as great genre television.
