It was never implied that the bomb would shoot them back to the present. It was implied that if "it worked", it would re-write history and they would never crash. The bomb never went off. They were taken back to the present by the island (or Jacob) itself (Just like when Jack/Kate/Hurley were taken off the plane in 2007 and ended up in the 70s)

Right, magic.

I don't accept it. I reject it and all that LOST stands for. In the name of our Lord, amen.

You reject all that LOST stands for? I'll take that 6 years of entertainment over the other crap on TV any time. I don't even care if all questions were not answered. Most were and I was entertained. That is what matters to me.

Does it feel nice to settle for less?

The bomb went off. Then the show bombed.

This is what fools say. A fool is simply incapable of understanding the intricacies of the final season of Lost, and so they reject that which is beyond their understanding. Everyone knows this.

No. You are an idiot if you really believe that. The final season cheapened the entire series and I won't be going back to re-watching it now.

I just finished. As for those still left with all those questions (the numbers, the shit that happens on the island, etc), I think it's fairly obvious.

The Island is limbo, purgatory, whatever you want to call it. The Others are the keepers of this place, led by a "Peter-at-the-gates" type of person. The decisions that people make on the island (working together, who they follow) affect whether they go to heaven or hell at the end. There was an obvious "Devil" character, prophets, et al.

All of the bad shit that seems to happen when the characters try to leave the island is fate telling them to let go and just accept what has happened.

This allegory seems pretty obvious, given that people who died come back to life to guide others, there are supernatural gifts granted between characters, and, overall, things happen that seem to be unexplainable without divine intervention.


I fucking hated all the sobby reunion get-together crap at the end, by the way.


This is what I thought at first...but as Season 6 progressed/ended - the island is real but the flash sideways was "purgatory" - rather than showing past events, Season 6 showed future events [after death] from Jack's perspective - Season 6 was all about Jack finally realizing he had died.

The island is sort of a Bermuda Triangle - most things "vanish" while some are found later on [escape].

The ending... it just seemed to work with what happened...even though a lot of other crap that happened over the entire series wasn't answered or suddenly became insignificant.

If you accept a MONSTER MADE OF SMOKE, why would you not accept the island sending them through time?

The smoke monster made mechanical sounds (for no other reason than to mislead the viewer). Juliet called it a "security system." It was revealed much later that the smoke monster was magic, and that was when the show was already sucking.

Cool. But it's not really a choice between LOST and "the other crap on TV." LOST was crap on TV. That just wasn't completely apparent until near the end, unfortunately. I'll say one good thing for LOST: it convinced me to cancel cable, and I've since been spending my free time a lot more wisely.

How do you know if "most" were entertained?
