The jughead? I see that as simply being "the incident" of which we first heard about in Series 2.. The whole whatever happened, happened thing comes in. They were always meant to go back in time, and they were always meant to set off the bomb.

I'm so excited for the eventual blockbuster movie directed by JJ Abrams. LOL! I think they definitely left room for the show to be revisited later in a prequel or sequel type manner.

I would definitely like to see how Ben and Hurley managed the island/ who their replacements were and the backstory for them. Ben's motives for staying could be interesting as well. Perhaps Walt returning to the island to free his father could be some sort of basis for a movie 5 years from now or so.

Also, when Eloise asked Desmond if he was going to take her son that told a lot about her knowledge. I think a prequel fleshing her story out could be intriguing as well.

I don't know about you guys, but I still have a hell of a lot of questions. Maybe because I don't want it to end. Actually that's exactly what it is. Damn that show. Beautiful end.

That's fair enough that you would want those things, but I personally would hate it if they revisited it at some point, especially for a movie a few years down the line.

It ended brilliantly and I would just love it to stay that way.

You're exactly right. But there was definitely a point during this season and particularly the last episode that made me think they were leaving the door open.

As far as the writers... I also remember them saying that the island wasn't hell or purgatory, but it sort of seemed that way to me. LOL! And if it came down to them letting some hack bastardize the show and make a shitty movie or them stepping in reluctantly to do it, I think they'd jump in.

Just had to pull this from up above cause I just read it..

Just to be clear, you're not assuming the island was purgatory/hell, right? Because it wasn't. Everything on the island was real. It happened. The alt-reality they showed however, was sort of a purgatory of sorts.

It was a nice ending but I still feel unsastified when it's all said and done it's like the writers brought in all this sappy stuff to make peeps forget about all the plot holes made along the way.

I never felt anything was sappy in the least. That was one thing that actually impressed me. The goodbye between Jack and Kate, and the final heaven scene all came off as so genuine and natural, and never felt forced or sappy to me.

They know full well that the backlash would far exceed the excitement. Not to mention the fact that the writers and creators flat out wouldn't do it, I don't think. I don't know them, so I can't say with certainty, but I'm pretty confident of how they operate, from years of watching their show and listening to them.

Not to mention any kind of film exploring the stuff Next Big Thing mentioned simply wouldn't draw. There's no respectable way to continue or expand upon the stories of Jack and Locke, and they're the big guns.

I wouldn't have wanted a movie or spinoff anyways, but after last night I REALLY don't want it, nor do I see it happening.
Maybe in another life, brotha.

I remember seeing an interview with the writers saying that they personally would never touch the show again in terms of further episodes or movies or anything, but they then went on to say that it's still Hollywood and somewhere down the line somebody will probably try to dig it up and exploit it for some money.

I think there's a difference between leaving futures for the characters in the story, and "leaving the door open" though.
In any good story you're always going to have closure, but also have characters and events that continue off-screen in the imagination. That doesn't really mean it's setting up for a sequel.
That would mean anything short of killing off every character is leaving the door open.

I don't feel like it leaves the door open any more than Return of the King, or Return of the Jedi, or any other final chapter to big pop mythology.

True. I don't want it to happen, but if we're talking about a hypothetical opening to continue... Walt's character has a connection to the island and major players which creates an opening for an intro. The last thing we had of him was John telling Ben the only way he'd participate in his scheme was if Walt was spared. Not to mention his father is "trapped" on the island for his sins.

As far as characters outside of Jack and Kates stories drawing and creating interest in a future show, the beauty of Lost was that minor, seemingly peripheral characters were able to develop into more. During the first season, Jack and Kate certainly carried it in my opinion, but at certain points from season 2 on, the stories and development of Hurley, Sawyer, Juliet, Ben, Eko, Jin and Sun, Witmore all carried and intrigued me more than Jack.

I have no doubt that if the show was revisited (God forbid, knock on wood) people would watch because of the intrigue that the backstory of these new characters along with their connection to the old ones. Again Walt could be a great focal points for flash backs to characters like Locke who is buried on the island we assume.

Again let me reiterate, I love the show. I'm kinda in denial that it's over. I'm probably going to regret saying this, but the scene with Jack and Vincent and later with Jack and his dad almost made me pass some eye water and need some weakness tissues. However, I see where the show could be resurrected down the line and still have a linear connection to the original.

Plus never say never. Sex and the City was huge and they're on their second movie now. Star Trek got prequeled, as did sex and the city. Star Wars was prequeled. Indiana Jones was resurrected and then viciously slaughtered by two greats in Spielberg and Lucas. Aren't there also talks of another great t.v. classic The Sopranos going to film?

My dreams were 100% Lost-related last night.

I ended up on The Island with Hurley and Ben, along with a new batch of people. Hurley was like "Dude, what are we gonna do" and Ben was like "People are always going to be drawn to The Island, Hugo. What happens next is up to you".

So Hurley set out to rewrite "the rules" of The Island so that these people did not end up like the Dharma Initiative or as "evil" as The Others.

I really, really enjoyed that.

Gave a good sense of closure and left just enough questions unanswered to keep a bit of a sense of mystery. Loved the symmetry with the end and the beginning as well.

Lol just remembered Miles took the diamonds Nikki and Paulo were searching for a few episodes back. Guess when he got back to America he was pretty rich.

'immortal richard' isn't immortal anymore. He got his first grey hair before they left, and made the comment about how he wanted to live. Figure he probably lived the rest of his life off the island and died of old age.

Damn I must of missed the part about Richard greying. Frank's chest hair and new bad ass too good for the walkie talkie I've got a plane to fly attitude stole every scene he and Richard had together.

He was the only character on the show other than Michael that I hoped would get killed off.

the numbers corresponded to candidates on the lighthouse wheel.

Richard did indeed become mortal again, as the island lost is power.

I wonder at what point Jack and Hurley gain powers...like seemed the same to me. WHen did they get Mystical Jacob powers? Hurley would totally recreate star wars

I wouldn't overestimate Jacob's powers. I think they have an overall commune with The Island that allows them to set rules, but I don't think they are all powerful.
Keep in mind that Jacob was mortal, and the only things we ever saw him do was have the ability to not age, and share that ability, and also touch people to bring to the island.
It's not like he was shooting lightning out of his fingertips, so I wouldn't expect Jack to be doing those things either.
Jack seemed like he was slowly coming to understand his abilities. I think that was the point of showing him standing in the water letting it sink in. He even admitted he wasn't exactly sure what's different. Yet he was instantly able to arrive at the light source, and seemed to have stronger instincts. That's probably the deal. You grow into it, I guess. Jacob didn't seem any different once he drank the wine.

Speaking of Michael and why he never got a bigger part than just a token appearance as a ghost, could these comments from 2008 after Michael was blown up have made the producers leery on using him?

Listen, if I'm being really candid, there are all these questions about how they respond to black people on the show. Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up, that wasn't interesting? Instead, Walt just winds up being another fatherless child. It plays into a really big, weird stereotype and, being a black person myself, that wasn't so interesting.

When he turned the light on, he was left in it.
That was what they were afraid would kill him.

It teleported him to an exit though. It's just sort of a metaphysical thing, like how the donkey wheel makes you end up somewhere when turned.
In fact, he ended up in the same place I think MIB ended up after he went into the light cave.
You just come out somewhere in the nearby jungle.

Just finished watching the finale about an hour ago. I've spent the last 30 mins reading through this thread while listening to the Lost soundtrack and bawling like a baby. That ending was so beautiful. I loved all the nods at some of the earlier big moments of the show. I really can't believe it is over, I'm such a f'n wreck right now. I've got to suck it up before my room mate comes home and sees me this way.
