And I thought I had a lot of unanswered questions.....
And I thought I had a lot of unanswered questions.....
Okay, finally watched it last night. And the pregnancy hormones were in high gear yesterday so everytime someone "flashed" and "discovered" themselves, I was a mess. Especially Jin and Sun. Theirs was probably my favorite backstory and DH and were so depressed when they died.
Anyhow.....after watching the ending, we were wondering why Walt and Michael weren't a part of the "purgatory" part.
And what happened to Desmond? I understand that perhaps Ben and Hurley stayed on the island to guard it, but I'd like to think that Des made it off to reunite with Penny and Charlie.
I've always been a Jack girl so was glad to see him achieve his final "fix" and receive closure, especially with his Dad.
Couple of theories on the Sayid/ Nadia/ Shannon thing:
1) These women each represent a distinctly different time in Sayid's life. Nadia represents war/ torture, which is perhaps why the storyline with his brother.....unrequited love, tortured brother......and Shannon represents a time in his life of, not so much peace, but a time when he was his own man, helping others and being on the good guys side. Which side would you want to spend eternity with?
2) The finale wasn't about each of their own purgatories but just Jack's (sorry...can't help but think jazz hands when I type "just jack"....loose Will and Grace reference). Jack never knew Sayid with Nadia, only Shannon.
I wonder what the writers think of all the speculation?
Well the yatch was still in harbor (MIB's getaway) so I would like to think that he was given safe passage from the island by Ben and Hurley to return to his Penny.And what happened to Desmond? I understand that perhaps Ben and Hurley stayed on the island to guard it, but I'd like to think that Des made it off to reunite with Penny and Charlie.

I like your reasoning and agree with it, but Jack did meet Nadia off the island with Sayid since Sayid and Nadia were married for some time
I think my issue is that if the writers had come up with an ending that at least presented a logical reason as to why all the crazy stuff happened on the island I would have been thrilled. For example, if the island really was purgatory and they were on a journey to find themselves while they were there it really would have made the ending so much more emotional and meaningful. I just really didn't like that they threw in such a greatly filmed ending but yet ignored the last 6 seasons. It was just so disappointing to me....I just wanted at least a bit of a connection between the ending and the rest of the show and just didn't feel it. It was too disjointed from the rest of the show for me. Its such as shame bc I love all the characters so much but I just even had issues with the ending (like why was Sayid with Shannon in the end when it really should have been Nadia I feel). I sooooo want to love the finale....but I just can't. They didn't need to answer every question, just find a better way to tie things together at least. It was just way too disconnected from the rest of the show for me. oh well
What was in the guitar case!!!!
Actually they DID explain what was in it! A wooden cross with a message inside it from Jacob explaining to the others to save Sayid or they would all die.
