who figured out lost season finale?

conor has it exactly right i was going to say something read that and it was it. i was doubting myself until i read it their. and i loved how they ended with the eye closing in the same spot they started with jacks eye opening? did u like that best answer if u did : )

All of the characters met up in the flash sideways after their deaths. Their deaths could have happened twenty years ago, or twenty years in the future, it doesnt matter. Whenever they died on the timeline, they have all met up in the flash sideways (or purgatory) because they were the most important part of each others lives. Everything that happened on the island was real, and the bonds and relationships they formed were so strong, when they died they wanted to be together.

Some people died on the island before Jack (Shannon, Boone, Sun, Jin, Sayid etc.)

Jack died (and the flash sideways was his journey through purgatory and his acceptance of his death)

Some people left the island and died later after living a long life (Sawyer, Kate, Miles, Lapidus, Claire etc.)

Some people stayed on the island and eventually died (Hurley, Ben, Rose, Bernard)

But they all met up in the flash sideways, regardless of when they died because they all felt they wanted to be together because they were a major part of each others lives.

(Except Ben didnt enter the church because he was an antagonist to them)

Everything that happened on the island was real. All the mythology and weirdness of it was true, we just werent given all the answers.

I am kinda suspicious that the plane that flew overhead as Jack died wasnt actually Ajira, but was the flash sideways/purgatory Oceanic 815 plane that signified Jack beginning the journey to the afterlife. So the flash sideways narrative that began in LA X Part 1 chronologically begins in the final scene of The End Part 2.

The flash-sideways is purgatory before passing onto the true good afterlife. time is not relevant in purgatory, so just because we see a person here doesnt mean they died in 2004 or 2008, they could live until old age, or in Hurley's case, for 1000s of years longer, and still appear in the flash-sideways at a time which mimics 2004. im not saying that they died in 2004 in the plane crash and have been living in purgatory. they were alive on the island, always have been, and everything except the flash-sideways was real life (not to say the FS is fake). also im not saying that the Flash-sideways is a utopia in which there is no bad or evil, i am just saying that the SPIRITS of people who werent good or didnt atone dont go there. so why was Martin Keamy there? well i think that wasnt keamy's spirit, but just a part of the flash-sideways itself. he is as real as the FS plane, FS coffin, or david shephard. this is theory: if someone hasn't "awoken" (visions of true life) yet then they are just as much a part of the FS scenery as the airport (including the losties that pass on at the church later).

The Island is essentially the gates of Hell (i use the word hell extremely loosely). not to say that the Island isnt an Island and the people on it are all dead; the island is real, the people are real, but in addition to the real people, there are spirits on the Island, like Michael and the whisperers (good band name?). Remember Jacob explaining that the Island is a cork to the evil? That explanation was a lot more literal than I gave him credit for at the time. The evil is the spirits of "bad" people which is the reason for all the intense amounts of negative energy. The rock literally was the cork. The light and cork kept the evil energy contained, and if the light is put out and cork removed permanently, the evil is no longer contained on the Island, similar to how the evil smoke monster is no longer contained. they died to prevent every evil spirit, or at least evil energy, from being unleashed from containment. The light is good energy holding in the bad.

we know that the island's purpose is to contain evil. we also know that only the good people passed onto the true afterlife. it would also seem that the evil energy being plugged is what held the island above water. so, since the evil doesnt exist in the FS, the island doesnt need to eitehr, and can peacefully sink without any consqequences or evil. evil and good aside, in real life the island had a purpose, and in the afterlife it has no purpose, therefore is allowed to sink without consequences. basically, in real life, it was neccessary to keep the island's source plugged. in FS, it wasnt, so without the cork, it sank. I think viewers are iffy about taking the good and evil stuff literally, maybe because the writers kind of cried wolf with the whole magic box sh*t.

So, why did Jacob go through all this trouble instead of just leaving everything be, since his brothers spirit couldn't locate the Source on his own anyway? wether it happened in 2007 or 10,000 years from then, jacobs brother could succeed in getting rid of the guardian and the candidates eventually, thus allowing him access to the Source so that he can put it out and be able to leave the Island. it was either kill him, or wait for the inevitable to eventually happen. jacobs brother not being able to get to the source on his own because of a guardian is similar to him not being able to enter the Temple as long as Dogen was alive. once dogen died, however, the temple was fair game to anyone anytime. so in temporarily pulling the cork, even though the light had to be temporarily put out, it allowed for the smoke monster to be mortalized and killed, thus preventing him from one day unleashing the sealed up energy under the cork permanently.

time-travel, while very important to the show, isnt exactly relevant to the afterlife aspect of the show. they didnt change time, they didnt cause a new timeline, what they did in the 50s/70s had alraedy happened in the past and was already accounted for. meaning, the DHARMA photo with hurley and jack and co. didnt just appear after they started flashing, it had been there long befoer they crashed, and eloise and charles had met them in the 50s, before any of them were even born yet. it isnt Back to the Future, they cant repeatedly change things, because when they do, the change was already accounted for to begin with, therefore it wasnt a "change" at all. maybe time is changable and maybe there was an original history in which the 50s and 70s occurred without them interfering, but we will never know, since it didnt exist ever during the show (since before the pilot, their influence in the past already happened; thats why charles widmore and eloise hawking are so omniscient). so, then why didnt eloise prevent her son from going to the island then, if she knew she would shoot him dead? from her point of view, she had already shot him in the past,

Lost Season 6 finale had left so many confusions and mysteries that will remain unsolved till the next season of lost tv series.
