Not to be repetitive, you have already admitted that it was a cheap move, meant to mess with the fans and you like that.

Not at all did I say that. I said that they've done that at times, and I thought it was funny and light-hearted (not personal and mean-spirited).

I have specifically said that I do not think the wreckage during the credits were a frick you to the fans, or something to make them think it is more open-ended. I think the ending of the series is pretty simple and concise, and the wreckage is simply a throwback to the Pilot and how far the show has come, and nothing more. That's something you and I will just never agree on.

Aaron wouldn't be an infant, he would be a 3 year old child as that is what he was when Jack went back to the island.


I've already explained this, too. It would be impossible to show Aaron at three years old because the child actor would now be like 7. Obviously, it's an inconsistence, but it's excusable given the problem working with child actors.

The biggest giveaway is the lack of the Kwon baby. You don't think Jin and Sun's child would be a pretty important person in their life? Especially considering that she was conceived on the island? But Jack never saw the Kwon baby; in fact, his recollection of the Kwons is a pregnant Sun.

No no, you're implying again. I don't mean anything negative by that.

Nah, I was kidding.

Sure, it's possible. But just not likely and in no way that's what they meant IMO. But the key words there are "in MY opinion." Clearly ya'lls differ from mine.

Yeah, we'll just disagree about that.

1. Didn't understand what happened with Ben "on Island".


He kept looking out for numero uno until he was offered the #2 job. I guess that was always what he wanted...to feel important.

quote:

2. What happened to Cindy and the kids? They were around since season 1 and 2 and if they wanted to kill them off they should have. But Locke didn't kill them in his Temple destruction and several people (Cindy included?) dispersed into the jungle after Widmore's attack. Might as well have thrown them on the plane too.


It might be safe to assume that they will carry on as the Others on the Island.

Right. Everyone else said we were wrong: cue the repetitive arguments.

I'm not sure why this whole Aaron thing is such an issue. Regardless of whose purgatory was in the alt timeline, the bottom line is that Aaron was just born in it when we saw it. He was born, and then he and Claire were at the church. I know there's no real "time" in that universe, because some people die before others, but that's why he was an infant. At least that's what I saw it as.

So you're saying Walt was there too? He was a child actor. They just left him out. Aaron was included as an infant because that is when they all knew each other.

Sun's baby was in her womb, as it was during the island time.

Someone earlier said that Jack met Nadia. I don't remember this. I don't think Jack ever saw Nadia.

Same here. I didn't find it an epic ending, but I found it to be a beautiful and bittersweet ending, which is really what I wanted from it.


It was beautiful and moving beyond description. I just watched it again on Hulu and smiled and cried through the whole thing. See you in another life, brotha.

Just curious:

What should they have shown instead of the wreckage during the credits?

There are no scenes from next week. And I would have hated to see some stupid commercial for some new ABC show...

What is the purpose of Desmond staying alive on Island? It would have been cleaner to have him die off too.


We are to assume Desmond took MIB's boat and left the island.

quote:

I also don't know why Miles remained alive. Lapidus had to fly the plane, but Miles was a pretty minor character in terms of importance.



Miles had the electrical knowledge to duct tape the wiring so the plane could take off. Richard in no way would have had this knowledge given his off-island background and Frank was busy prepping the plane, so they had to have someone there to help. Plus, Miles had the walkie talkie which was used to help create tension over whether or not the plane would take off without Sawyer, Kate, and Claire. So, he served his purpose.

Another thought on the Jack's Perspective lunacy: If it was Jack's Perspective, then why all the effort to get everyone to a concert that Jack didn't even attend nor did they try to get Jack to attend it. Desmond got everyone there so they could come the the realization.

Hell, the man said he had to show THEM something, not HIM something. Why would Eloise Hawkings be worried about her son if it was just Jack's perspective? There wouldn't be any need for her motivation.
