The end of LOSTPosted in LOST by admin |
After six long years of ups and downs, the cult inspiring ABC series LOST finally came to a close. Since finding out Jack and all of the character’s we’ve grown to love were actually dead, there has been much heated debate over the outcome of the show—was it a copout ending or a genius wrap up? Because the writers never really gave a clear description of what actually happened, viewers were forced to deduce their own conclusions. This opened the doors for endless speculation.
On one side, haters of the season finale think it posed more questions than it answered—a common theme throughout the whole show. Some dedicated viewers even compiled a humorous video of all the unanswered LOST questions. To make matters worse, the producers had stated in an interview during previous seasons that the island was not a purgatory. Either they lied, or many viewers got the wrong idea. What was the point of an island with mystery hatches and magical healing qualities where women can’t get pregnant if everyone was simply dead? Was the alternate life where everyone was happy supposed to be heaven? For such innovative thinkers capable of tying multiple seasons together, you’d think they could come up with a better ending than, ‘you’re dead’.
