re: Finished Lost

I am in the "dead the whole time camp.

there is no fricking "camp". There's not a choice of which side of the fence to take, there's just fact. It'd be like saying I'm in the "I don't really think Andy broke out of shawshank camp". That camp doesn't exist, because we clearly see on film what actually happened.

quote:

I refuse to believe they were alive on the island the whole time. To me, the island was purgatory,

Well, you're 100% completely wrong, on both counts.

quote:

---

here are just too many things that do not add up on the island for it to have been real. In no particular order...

---

It's a TV show. Just because there are things not actually rooted in our IRL reality doesn't mean that what's on the show is "fake". There's time travel in Back to the Future..I guess that means everyone was dead the whole time eh?

quote:

---

with many people having predicted/ guessed that the island was purgatory... better flip the script!

---

Orrrrrrr those people could've just been wrong.

quote:

It just doesn't add up to me. Richard Alpert said it best, "You're dead ... we're all dead, every single one of us. And this? All this? It's not what you think it is. We're not on an island. We never were. We're in Hell."

A tired and ageless man falling apart at the seams mentally.

quote:

---

the show makes more sense if they were all dead, having died at different times.

---

Everyone did die at different times. Some before jack. Some after. All were alive on the island.

quote:

---

Christian Shephard: This is a place that you... that you all made together so that you could find one another. The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people on that island. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you.



To me, that scene, and that quote, show that the island was purgatory.

---

How? What in that quote would prove that? The place where christian and Jack were speaking, in teh church in the S6 flash sideways, WAS a sort of afterlife. Like a staging area before moving on to their final destination. Everyone in THAT place was already dead.

How about this. When Christian also said to Jack "everyone dies jack. Some died before you. Some long...long after you"..how do you interpret that? When Jack dies, we see a plain with several other characters flying home to safety. Are you saying they are zombie losties that were dead on the island and will be real when they leave it?
