This thread is for Gamble & Scott. I also have to thank Gambit, over a year ago, he convinced me to watch Lost, but I couldn't force myself to get past the Pilot. After listening to Gamble & Scott talk so highly of Lost, over and over, I finally decided to watch it all (Season 1-6) during the last three months. Thank you Gamble & Scott for convincing me, that Lost was so good. Lost is one of the greatest TV series I've ever watched , and I'd recommend it to those that have never watched it before.
Lost is extremely dynamic, so it will appeal to anyone. It's got both faith & science.
Anyways....
....yeah, I know I'm a little late, behind schedule, but........
........yesterday, I finally completed "Lost"!
I'd like to know what your (Gamble, Scott, or anyone else who watched the entire series) conclusive thoughts were.
Here are mine...
After my first time watching the Lost finale, I instantly thought they were dead the entire time. The final clip/image above the credits initially convinced me that they were all dead, this entire time, because it "looked" like a lifeless island with only the debris of 815.
However, after looking at the clip/image above the credits for a second time, I realized they were not dead the entire time. They had survived.
Here are two very important reasons.
First reason: If they were all in fact dead, then surely, there would have been some human remains or bodies scattered on the beach along with the debris of the plane. In that clip (the image above the credits), there are no bodies or human remains to be found. This can only mean, they did in fact survive the crash.
Second Reason: Upon closer review of the clip/image, you can see footprints in the sand. If they all died instantly in the crash, then there would have been no footprints in the sand. The footprints in the sand, prove once again, they survived the crash.
My final assessment: The Island was real, but it was Purgatory. However, the Island is hidden from the rest of the World. Only those who were ultimately confused about Life in general, hence those who were "Lost" about Life, were chosen to be brought to the Island. All the characters were initially "Lost" before they were brought to the Island. It's simple, just judge each character, and you will see how every character ever brought to the Island was "Lost", confused about Life, prior to the crash. This is all obvious, and I do not need to thoroughly elaborate.
I.E Jack was "Lost" before being brought to the Island. He had recently experienced a divorce, and then lost his Father, Christian. Jack was confused about Life in general, didn't know what it was all for or what it was all about. Thought it was all meaningless.
John Locke was also "Lost" before being brought to the Island. His case in the most obvious. Prior to the Island, he had no faith. Orphaned, then put in a wheel chair at the hands of his Father.
The same applies to all the characters.
They were all chosen to go to the Island, to pursue an adventure together to understand what "Life" was all about, before each of them were meant to die. The objective, purpose of the adventure was to defend the “Light”, “Heaven”. They all had to defend the concept of “Good” together. Once the last one of them died, only then were they ready to “move on” as a group, all together, to Heaven. Whoever, the last one of them was, is up for debate. I, honestly, think Jack was the last one to die. Death in Lost, meant enlightenment. Jack was the last one to enter the room, at the end; hence they were all waiting for him. Jack was the last one to be enlightened, to understand.
The Alternate timeline was "Heaven", it's clear, we see this when they are all seated in the Universal Church, altogether again. Then Christian opens the doors, and the "Light" - enlightenment - then floods the entire room. In that scene they were finally “moving on”, they were finally ready to be taken by the “Light”.
Ben never entered the Universal Church because he was not ready to enter "Heaven". It's possible that Ben returned to the Island, and probably became number "one". Ben will enter "Heaven" when the Island is finished with him, and when Ben ultimately understands, he will then be ready for “Heaven”.
