For those who saw the 2 hr season finale, what did y'all think ? I'm glad things made it to a point of resolution, in some ways, but wtf was up w/ that ending ?

Select to view spoiler:

First, I want to say how much it sucks that Charlie seems to have died. Dude could have swum out the window after the room filled up w/ water! But alas, it's what was foretold....*sigh*

Ok, now wtf was up w/ the flashFORWARDS ? Seems they got off the island, and guess what.... Jack's father is ALIVE?? That, or he was delirious from the Oxy, because he told that new doctor to go check Jack's dad, and if Jack was drunker than him, he could fire Jack. Please, I need to have THAT explained.

And who was in the casket ? Was it Sawyer ? Or is Kate with Sawyer now, and maybe it was John Locke in the box. Who ?

Man, what an odd ending, and oh.... how are they going to be LOST next season when he's already been found ?

Very confused

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Confused, yes. But definitely excited now.

Select to view spoiler:

I like the fact that Charlie did in fact die, and that he was at peace with it. And that through him, Desmond and Penelope knew that the other was alive and that they would meet again. But if Naomi's not with her, then who is she working for? And are they the actual bad guys or was Ben telling the truth for once. The fact that the code was bars from "Good Vibrations" was a great touch and confirms that that song will automatically make any moment creepy.

But yeah, the reveal that it wasn't a flashback but a flash-FORWARD really got my attention. I always wondered what it would be like if we actually got to see what happened to the characters AFTER they left the island. Why should the last episode be just them getting picked up and leave and that's it? I think it would have been fascinating to see what their lives would be like after they get home. Because Ben brings up an interesting point. For some of the characters, there's nothing really to get home to, so why would they be in a rush to leave? I know Locke definitely wants to stay put.

So I do hope that they continue to have flash forwards with the characters so that we can see what life is like for them after the island. You can only flashback to a character so many times before we know everything about them. But one more Kate flashback so that we can see Nate again on the series.

One more thing. What's WAAALLLLTTTTT (I always say Walt's name like that since I saw the season 1 finale)doing back on the island? Or is it the smoke monster or Jacob in another form telling Locke to get off his ass?

What was Jack referring to -- "I'm tired of lying"?

Great episode. I'm still not sure what is directing Locke's actions. There seems to be some underlying force that isn't necessarily from within him. Does that make sense?

I like the fact that everyone seems to have snapped. It's become do or die and everyone stepped up to the plate (well, except Bernard but he's NOT Rambo after all).

At least they gave us a sense that the episodes will be different next season. I can't wait.

I'm kind of torn on the finale - I'm not sure if it's just that there was a lot of hype about the finale or what but...

Select to view spoiler:

While I hated that Charlie died, I liked the way it played out. On another forum someone made a comment that the characters who die (the ones from Flight 815 anyway) have just made peace with themselves and that seems to apply here (and maybe explains why Locke lived).

I thought Aaron crying when Charlie died was a nice, bittersweet moment.

The flashforward thing didn't really surprise me... they just weren't fitting in with what we know of Jack's past (and his amount of facial hair kept bothering me).

Shouldn't Kate be in prison? Along with Sawyer?

I like where the show appears to be headed, at least in that it's moved forward, but I'm wondering if it's just going to lead to a lot more questions than answers.[/spoilers]

I think somehow all the future stuff is "flexible". The fact that Jack said something about going to get his father upstairs at the hospital says that either 1) he is off his rocker or 2) this is some alternate future where his father doesn't die.

Is it going to be all a dream? A hallucination?

I was thinking it might be Ben in the casket, but Locke makes sense also. (I just can't see Locke being willing to leave the island.)

What's with Walt showing up? Is that really "Jacob" just telling Lock to get off his butt and DO something?

I guess the fact that we have so many questions means it was a good finale (unlike Heroes).

I've been sane a long while now, and change is good...

Yeah, but with Heroes they were trying to make a clean break and start over fresh for next season.

I'm real interested to see where Lost is going to go next season. Should be pretty interesting. And I always did hate Charlie. The bittersweet thing with Aaron crying, could have done without that. But all in all a very good episode.

How about Hurley saving the day with the bus!!!

You've pretty much covered the basics of the finale - a couple of surprises i guess, but the thing that really, really bugs me is.....

Select to view spoiler:

why the hell did Locke kill Namoi... and with a knife, when he was holding a loaded gun - well savinging ammo maybe, but why kill her at all - it served no purpose...

i really try to stay with this program - but then again sometimes i think it is a complete waste of time....

Okay, I get why Charlie didn't swim out the window, because even tho he's a small guy, it looked too small for him to fit thru. But why the heck didn't he just dash out the door the instant the grenade went off? Even if he couldn't seal it shut behind him, there was time for him and Desmond to dive into the moonpool and swim out-and-up to safety. He'd already turned off the jamming, and gotten the info from Penny; there was no reason to just stay there and die.

On the other hand, I never really liked his character all that much, so I won't miss him the way I still do with Eko. Jin, Sayid, and Hurley ALL had close calls last night, and I would've REALLY hated to see any of them go...

I really liked that part!

Select to view spoiler:

I had begun to dislike Charlie a lot.
Losing him really got to me though. I thought he was really brave.
But I have to admit I thought they could have let him and Desmond dive thru the moonpool and escape.

After losing my interest completely for awhile, they really reawakened my curiosity with the last couple of episodes.

I'm looking forward to next season now!

The reason Charlie decided to die and not save his ass was because if he had defied Desmond's flash of the future, then Claire and Aaron wouldn't be able to leave the island on the helicopter. That was the whole reason he did it. The earlier episode with Desmond's flash of Naomi arriving proved that by changing one of the flashes, then the outcome would be altered. So Charlie had to die in order to save Claire, Aaron and everyone else on the island.
