Any other fans of "Lost" in ED? If so, views on the finale?


Enjoyed the finale, love a bit of romance / happy endings / OTT sentimentality, but lost the plot with the plot some way back.


Am confused. With the conclusion of the parallel world thing, were they saying that they had all been dead all along, for part of the time (e.g. since that big bomb when Juliet got squished) or from the times when they had each died?

** Spoilers, Bonniebird - so look away now! **


As far as I can work out, the island was real. The exchange between Hurley and Linus at the end ("You were a great number two" - "You were a great number one") suggested to me that life on the island went on. The series was therefore Jack's life on the island, so when he died, the series ended.


The parallel storyline that popped up over the last two seasons was, on the other hand, some sort of limbo. The 'there is no now' comment meant that their deaths in real life bore no resemblance to the time in limboville. Desmond was some sort of angel character who's job it was to get everyone to realise they'd popped their clogs and assemble everyone at the church.


And I can't believe I didn't notice the 'Christian Shepherd' reference at any time over the six years!

I agree, Loz - Island was definitely real and Ben and Hurley were the caretakers, then when Jack died, everybody had been waiting for him so they could all 'move on' together. The 'flash sideways' was a kind of purgatory.... but it was so good seeing them all remember what they meant to each other. They all lived their lives and died at different times - just waiting for Jack to join them.


I thought it was a pretty good ending. Still have a few unanswered questions though!!!

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
