It was a brilliant finale on so many levels. It gave us one final twist that completely defined the alt. universe as such an amazing portion to the story/ending.
I can't wait to go back and watch it again and notice things. I just thought about how awesome it was that when they all went in the church to move on, Ben opted to sit and wait outside and think about what he'd done.

The Jack arch completion was unreal. Perfect. I love that his last act was the ultimate "I need to fix things." I love that it didn't happen right away when he put the stone back either, and it sort of made you wonder if his destiny was going to be fufilled. Then the light came on and the water poured over him.
When I saw him stumbling into the bamboo area it hit me how perfect it was going to be. Having him see the plane getting away and the eye closing were the two perfect final strokes.

MIB's plan ultimately succeeding, but costing him his powers long enough for him to get killed. Genius.

I love that the Island continued on with Hurley and Ben. Hurley wasn't exactly the person I figured would get left in charge of the island, but since they didn't show much after that point, it wasn't really major, so in that respect it was a good choice. Jack always liked and trusted him. Ben belonged on the island, so having him stay and help was another great choice.
Kate and Sawyer leaving was important seeing as they lived. I felt one of them taking over wouldn't have been as good. Sawyer is a bit too hard, and Jack knowing Kate got to go home was a big part of his ending.

And it was awesome how many great lines and shots were incorporated naturally to pay tribute the series as a whole.
Jack and Fake Locke looking down the waterfall as it panned like the hatch at the end of Season 1 was immense. Tons of great lines and sayings from the show got worked in.

Even the enlightenment scenes in the afterlife were a clever device to revisit past moments in the finale, while coming naturally the story and not serving like a clip show/nostalgia fest.

Just generally thought it was great in every way. Better than I'd even expected really. Finales are usually disappointing in some way, and even though I had faith in this one it was a concern.
It ended up being perfect for me.

Guys, the plane didn't get away. Did you not see the credits? I thought that was the plane that crashed.

Jack putting the cork on would re-powerup the electromagnitism and would crash the plane. No?

I didn't see anything in the credits. Not sure what you speak of. Last thing I saw was Jack's eye closing.

But perhaps this plane you saw was the remains of the Oceanic flight?

That was the wreckage of 815. I took as just a powerful image of what the show was really about, wrapping things up and setting in during the credits.

But that probably has legs to be debated by people. Wouldn't be suprised if it was intentionally done for double meaning.
Unless of course you can clearly see it says oceanic on the wreckage. I wasn't looking closely.

Either way, it stood out to me as just showing the original wreckage from the first episode to let the full circle journey set in.

I believe I called the last scene of the show to be Jack WAKING UP in the jungle in the season 2 thread after I read The Third Policeman.

Almost.

I love how Jack's story saw it's beginning, middle and end laying on his back in that bamboo thicket.

It's where he arrived on the island, obviously, but also where he landed when he went back, and was a changed man of faith, and finally it was where he died after his purpose was met.

Yeah I didn't really look either. If it is 815 then yeah, they may shown it to show how there are still items to be left there for future generations to find on the island. Like the temple, statue, black rock, and now the plane.

Hurley mentions doing things differently. I don't think he'd allow for such a downer thing to happen. Even if they did he'd get them right home.
Obviously I'm of the mind that it's not the wreckage though. If it's there to be debated, I know where I stand. Them getting home is part of what made Jack happy in his death. That's how I like it.
But I honestly feel it wasn't supposed to represent that either.

Pretty cool that Ben is Hurley's Richard. It's interesting to ponder what The Island ended up being like for them, and what went on and how and when did Hurley and Linus decide to move on and hand over control.
Also cool that Richard got to live, and decided he wanted to live. Cool to think that he'll get to grow old and die naturally in the modern world which he's never seen.
It's also interesting to think of what kind of lives Kate and Sawyer live back home.

There's plenty of happy but interesting endings there for some characters, that are fun to ponder without being things you really want to actually see.

Not to nitpick, but Richard has spent a fair amount of time off the Island in the modern world. I agree with what you are saying though!

I love that Ben became Hurley's Richard

Did Desmond get home? Last I remember is him getting safely out of the cave, but did he make it to the plane or is he with Hurley and Ben on the island still?
Was pretty caught up in the rest of the ending and missed that.

Yea, I'm pretty sure he missed the flight. It doesn't matter too much though, since if he wants to go home Hurley can let that happen, and he obviously would.
Obviously he wants to go home and see Penny and his child, also. Widmore took him against his will to begin with.

That's really the beauty of Hurley running things. As they say, he can do things his way and you know you're going to get pure and fair intentions.
Ben staying is perfect, not only because The Island is his only home, but because he's such a morally ambiguous character like Lock Jaw said.
Serving Hurley is really part of his real life pennance. It's also great that he's welcome to move on in the afterlife with all of the other good characters, but chooses to think about his bad deeds for a while longer.

All season long I had been pretty hopeful that real Locke's character would return in the Island timeline, but after the way tonight's episode went, I really have changed my mind.

His character arc had completed and the way his beliefs and presence were carried on through the other characters was perfect. Especially since we learn that he was ultimately right, and in a better place. MIB called him a sucker, but he ended up dying in such a way that proves destiny. That's stronger vindication.

Having him rise from the dead really wouldn't served to do anything but be momentarily exciting and expected. Him living on through Jack was way better.
He couldn't have really done anything other than fill the Jacob role for some time before dying again, and that wouldn't really be worth it.
Hurley's on that. Locke did his part.
Just goes to show how it's hard to judge or set expectations before seeing how the whole design unfolds.

Just finished about 20 minutes ago here in the UK. I am seriously lost for words. It was fantastic. The ending just made it clear that all these questions that weren't answered weren't really necessary and I honestly can't think of a better way to end it.

I'm so impressed that they managed to make one massive final twist, that had such profound meaning behind it, rather than just being there to be shocking or a cliffhanger.
I think everyone had been rightfully scratching their heads over the alt. universe all season, and probably even all during tonights episode, until in an instant it all made sense and became clear.
May sound kind of cheesy, but in a way it was almost like it was for the characters. Instantaneous enlightenment. The viewing experience mirrored the story.

I'm surprised Miles made it all the way to the end and off the island. He didn't really have a "role" on the show, but was just kinda there. I mean, I loved his character. Just didn't feel he was there for a reason.

Also I loved the whole "Christian Shephard" as in him being a shepherd, and then leading them all into the light at the end. Excellent touch I thought.

After Jack explains how he thinks Desmond is a weapon that was there for a purpose from Jacob:

"That's one hell of a long con, Doc" -Sawyer.

Loved that line, among so many others

I don't think everyone and everything in the afterlife is really concrete and set in stone other than the characters it revolves around.
Like Jack's son. He's not real, but rather just a way of helping Jack heal his father issues, and move to the point of being ready.
I think the same goes for Jin and Sun's unborn child there. It's part of their odyssey.

Though I do think there's some substance to characters like Ana Lucia (who we see in the afterlife), Michael, and others not being in the church at the end. They're probably still doing time in the purgatory of that "alternate universe."
Since it's such a spiritual thing, I don't think there's much substance to too much logic and rules. It's all happening in both an instant, and for eternity in a way.
It's not like their souls sit an wait until the precise moment when their enlightened, in succession. They die and go to that point, it all just unfolds in a manner that is visible to the audience and shows their passing on/becoming ready.

Anthony Cooper sits there and drools on himself for eternity. Brilliant. Though he could probably deserve even worse. Hopefully he's also in some personal mental hell.

Ben not going with everybody else as well was good too. Plenty of reasons as to why he wouldn't want to go just yet.

Yea man, this show has really been a great time for me. I love talking about it on here too, and I enjoy your posts and discussion just as much as you enjoy mine.
Kinda gonna miss discussing with "the regulars" from the Lost thread.
