This is one of the best series finales I have ever witnessed.
I cried so many times.
It was nice to learn how important these people were to one another.
I wanted Ben to die, not gonna lie but he so redeemed himself in this episode more than once.
I wasn't surprised when Hurley took over, I had a strong feeling it should have been him in the first place.
I was glad to see MIB go, but kinda sad he never got a name. But he just got more annoying towards the end. |

I was really happy Jack died. And I don't mean that in a mean way at all, I liked him by the end. It was just such a great, noble, fitting end for him. I was really happy about it.
And Hurley and Ben are like the new Jacob and Richard! That's how I saw it anyway. That seemed to really fit as well.
God, I love these characters, I really do. I'm gonna miss them so much!!!! _________________

Matthew Fox thought he'd die too. He said that in an interview.
Did you see Ben's face when Hurley asked for help? So sweet, they were buddies! |

WOW! That was a perfect way to end the series. I really don't know what else to say. It took all of the manliness in me not to start crying at the end. It was a very moving ending. _________________

What a joke. So apparently nothing has to make coherent sense and you can have a complete pull-it-out-of-thin-air literal deus ex machina?
I'll be sitting over here in the 'dissatisfied, but not in a cool Prisoner/Twin Peaks way' corner. All of you who were happy with the finale, enjoy yourselves! (I mean that honestly.) I wish I could count myself amongst that number.
The only thing I did like was the one Prisoner reference:
"Dude, you made a good Number Two."
"Hugo, you made a great Number One."
Paul will get that, if nobody else does! Off to start a critique thread so as not to disrupt anyone's good vibes. _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

That was absolutely incredible. That's really all I can say right now. Just utterly amazing. _________________

I could tell what Jorge was talking about, they knew the finale image, AKA Jack's eye closing. Which I thought was well thought out. |

For someone who hasn't really loved (or, hell, even the liked) the show since about the end of S2, I actually quite enjoyed the finale.
Of course, they didn't really explain any of the mysteries in these 2 eps and I really didn't appreciate their ships being shoved down my throat (I do not care for Jack/Kate or Sawyer/Juliet - there I said it!), but I think they did the characters justice.
It was really nice to see Shannon again! Haven't seen her since 2x06!!! (Where the heck was Ana Lucia though? Seemed a bit unfair that everyone was included except her. Did the fans hate her that much!?)
Anyway, those are my 2 cents for now... _________________

I don't think Ana Lucia was well liked (She was in this season). But Nikki and Paulo weren't there either. |

It was kind of bumming that the alt reality took up more the time then the actual story but it was a good series finale.
I am one who liked it but if you are going to do a show about questions and answers. ANSWER the important questions.
Damon I think got a little peeved by the fans who wanted answers and is why they don't like the Fine Bros. But you can't build a show on a mysterious island throwing a lot of questions saying 'we'll answer them' and don't get around to it. |

Wow!! I think that was just epic!! I loved that the sideways world turned out to be a place they created to find each other again!! I thought it was such a beautiful idea!! Everything I was hoping for pretty much happened aside from Jack dying. I was sad that Jack and Kate didn't have a longer time together in the real world but at least she got to go home and be with Aaron again and help Claire raise him! I didn't think the Suliet reunion would effect me like it did!! I started bawling but not as much as that end shot when Jack closed his eyes!! I just Lost it!! _________________

Charlie/Clare Jack/Kate and Sawyer/Suliet effected me.
I was upset he died, but I had a strong feeling he would. Before season 5 came on Matthew said he thought Jack woudl die and I believed him because they kept saying he knew the finale image, which I don't think they should have told him.
But I was very much satisfied with Jate. I was glad she finally told him she loved him.
And I realized whens he said 'I have missed you so much' was because she most likely died years after getting off the island.
It was so beautiful. |

I just edited my post to add that I loved that Kate got to go home and be with Aaron again! That just made me soo happy! and made the Jack dying part hurt a little less! _________________
