Losties!! Come in!! (spoilers)

What did you think of the finale?  I may be in the minority, but I loved this finale.  As much as I love drama, suspense, and ridiculous-ness, I really just wanted a happy ending for the Castaways.  This was a much happier, lovey-dovey ending that I thought we'd get - and I'll take it!  

My favorite moments:

- Jack finally "fixing" things so his friends could leave.  That's what he always wanted throughout the series and he was able to see the plane take off before he died.

- The interaction between Ben and (real) Locke.  For Ben to admit he was wrong and jealous, and for Locke to forgive him - I'll admit there were some tears.

- Kate and Jack, Sawyer and Juliet, Claire and Charlie - my tear ducts are out of commission. 

 

Sure, there are some questions I still have.  I'm hoping Doc Jensen (EW.com recapper) will enlighten us.  I stayed up to watch the Jimmel Kimmel Live special after the finale.  It was funny.  Here are a few links (I don't know why Safari won't let me make them clicky:

I'm very happy the the couples ended back up together, especially Kate and Jack.  I just love them. 

The finale was kind of eh to me.  I think it was still rather confusing.  I think they only wrote in the sideways world for this season to make that it's version of "purgatory"  so that the island itself was not purgatory since they had been denying that since season 1.  

For me, it was hard to understand how all of a sudden they just remembered each other.  The sideways world just didn't make sense to me. 

I too watched the Jimmy Kimmel show and loved the "alternate endings".  Pretty funny.

I loved it though when it was over I was a little bummed at first. But a lot of scenes made me cry and some made me laugh. I haven't watched Kimmel yet. Probably tonight. And I'm impatiently waiting for Doc Jensen to post his recap.

He posted it Part 1 right after your post!  Part 2 goes up tomorrow.  

Kimmel was OK.  Not a necessity to watch, but lots of fun.

I personally loved the finale. It totally caught me off guard though... not sure why but I guess I just wasn't expecting it to end that way, with everyone dead. I thought the "sideways world" was going to come together and everything would be happy lalala. haha. The ending was super emotional for me, I cried like a baby. I think they did a decent job of answering the most important questions while leaving others open to interpretation. My hubby and I are going to start re-watching the entire series from the beginning soon... oh boy
