i don't see how.
MIB/Jacob were completely unecessary to the overall story. they were pawns in a bigger picture that too much time was devoted towards
this was a show about the characters of the flight (and those they loved)
MIB-Jacob had no part in this, and in the end had no real role

If the island was purgatory, then purgatory and whatever God runs it is really unnecessarily complicated.

you know there is this show lost
early on, it had this great concept of showing backstories
maybe they should have tried to mimic this show
Backstories of the characters of Lost.
It would seem to reason that a story of the history of the island would deal with entirely different characters...basically an entire different show/spinoff/"prequel"...get my point?

Now lets watch the characters interact and how they deal with protecting the island.
but the island itself is pointless when this show is about the characters' redemption
saving the island wasn't the point: saving their souls was

so the writers basically just lied about it being purgatory
The Island really happened. It wasn't purgatory.

the island was as much of a character as anyone not named jack
it was a bigger character than fricking bernard and rose

oh you mean like the superflous MIB-Jacob duo?

Please explain how showing wreckage that should no longer exist, a tribute.
No longer exist? What are you talking about?
The wreck happened.
They survived.
The actions on the show actually happened as explained by Christian.
The H-Bomb did nothing except send Jack and crew back to the present.
From there, the writers show us the lives of the losties after they die and are reunited, as explained by Christian.
Jack "saved eternal life" by preserving the island.
That's it. Nothing more.

They had to save the island in order to save their souls...if the light went out, they had no light to walk in to from the church....

stopped watching for a long time. Did Walt have powers like it was hinted at?
If not why did Others/Dharma act so scared of him?
Yes he had powers and they scared the Others shitless. They didn't explain the origins and the full magnitude of these powers though.

I have to admit I was disappointed that the sideways was purgatory simply for Locke.
I always liked him so much, I was happy to see he hooked up with Helen and was able to walk again.
Yes the Next Stage could be way better than life, but as an earthbound human, I was happy to see things work out for him then all that happiness faded when we realized it was not real.

not if you believe what happened on the island is what happened. the losties were candidates and they needed to protect the island - the whole after island purgatory was just closing the show and showing how important their relationships on the island were - it was the realization of these relationships that allowed them to pass on

the island was nothing more than a step to purgatory. it was part of the process
again, when people brought up the purgatory angle, there was no concept of a flash-sideways (i mean by the writers)
by saying "it" was purgatory, it means the show itself/journey of the characters was purgatory
the writers inventing a step just to get around lying to fans is a fricking ruse

So can someone tell me what happened to Desmond on the 'real time' island? These past few eps proved to me that he was the only character I gave a frick about at the end. Well, maybe Sawyer too, but I gather that he got away from the island.
Its heavily implied that Desmond got off the Island to see his wife and son. Hurley now had control over who came and left the Island.

Yes, because all of you haven't been doing exactly that for 6 seasons.

Is my explanation that it was a mcguffin any worse than the Island being the center of life in the the unvierse or some other shite.

How can you say entirely superflous? If MIB succeeded in turning out the light, everything ceases to exist. They die...AND they have no purgatory/afterlife to go to.
Why? I have no idea. Because they said so. But again, thats good enough for me. The point wasn't WHY the light functioned like that, it was how the characters reacted to it.

then you have to explain why saving the island is important, which means you have to explain what the island is
failure to do this is a failure of writing...and a major one at that
