re: Finished Lost

Christian Shephard: I sure hope so. Yeah, I'm real. You're real.

When he says this, they are dead, no?

quote:

All those people in the church, they're all real too.

Dead at this point too right?

If they are dead when Christian says that, then I do not think real means alive. Which would mean...

quote:

---

Everything that's happened to you is real.

Just because everything that has happened is real, does not mean it happened when he was alive. It just means that it occurred or had purpose. I do not doubt that everyone on the island was real. I just doubt whether they were alive on the island.

Also, the some died before you and after you line does not mean that everyone died when they died on the island, to me. Seems reasonable Desmond died on the sailboat. Christian was some time before, but he was alive on the island. Juliet, who knows. Charlotte, Daniel, and Miles all could have died some time after Jack. Those folks were on the island and in the flashsideways, but not in the final church scene.
