#Lost #EndingExplained

[@DestroIABM]

When Kate said: I've waited so long for you. It was because she made it off the island and lived an entire life without Jack. She waited decades to live and die to see him again. It was probably my favorite part of the finale.

[@deeobrien5417]

It was so lovely. The love those two had for each other was gorgeous, I remember thinking how unbelievable the chemistry was between those two actors form the very first episode on so to hear her say that and the way she said it was just lovely 🤍

[@nathanhawee5373]

Ya I assume why it took then all different times to remember eachother was because they couldn't remember untill they died. Hugo might have been there on the island for decades before he died, Jacob did it for hundreds of yrs maybe longer

[@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo]

Heartbreakingly beautiful

[@patrickparham6241]

An entire life story told in one line. It was too much to absorb in real time watching it. That’s how good the writers were.

[@MMAFightMagazine]

​@deeobrien5417 LOL I guess it's impressive that the writers were so easily able to con viewers into thinking Kate "waited" and had feelings for Jack despite the majority of the show proving otherwise. But, Sawyer wasn't an option, and we couldn't have Kate and Jack go alone, so....

I always saw the sideways as a waiting room until presumably Hurley died so they could all move on together. They all died at different times.

[@nathanhawee5373]

That's what I thought but didn't hurly help round them all up. So if he died possibly hundreds of yrs later he would have been the last to show up instead of jack. But some of the last season left me with questions. Like Claire and Aaron if Aaron didn't die why was he there(unless just to remind Charlie. Like what about Ben to? He said he was going to stay.

[@gowsa2233]

Yeah but time is fickle. They were all dead all along as well as alive well along

[@davidsoria9717]

⁠​⁠@@nathanhawee5373One of the best theories I've heard is that everyone in this show's version of purgatory perceives the people they love as how they remembered them in life. For instance, Jack never got to see baby Aaron grow up, so it makes sense that he would perceive him as a baby when he meets his soulmates in that church. Everyone on the island has their own perceptions and versions of this church moment, but we get to experience Jack's because we actually see him die. Same with Charlie. In theory though, after Clare dies, she probably would've seen all her island soulmates as well as a grown up Aaron, but that's pure speculation and left up to us. It's one of the reasons I love the ending - it leaves just enough room for interpretation while giving us closure at the same time.

[@DavidBourne-bu3xh]

That's pretty much that the 'father' said, not much left to interpretation.

[@davidsoria9717]

@@DavidBourne-bu3xh I'm referring to what/who the other survivors might have seen after they died or what their version of the church would've been. There are lots of clues to give us answers but they also left just enough breadcrumbs for us to use our imaginations.

[@sebulbathx]

But regardless of understanding or not you can still dislike the ending. The ending only explained the overall story but many mysteries was not explained or solved. Which made the ending bad for me anyway. But the execution of the ending was good I think.

[@nathanhawee5373]

I think I because one guy faked all their deaths. The big give away they wernt all dead from the start is Walt wasn't there. But it was wierd that Aaron was tho. Shouldn't have Clare showed up not prego unless he died to

Spoke right to my 90’s kid heart Ryan. Best show I ever watched.

[@leonnahofer9138]

Oh this brings back so many memories about watching it when it was actually on tv the first time. At work there was a bunch of us who would gather the next morning over coffee and dissect the episode from the night before. Not to mention there was a whole online world that was going on at the same time about the show. Even the writers made a website with a supposed page of script that told about zombies but it was just to throw us off. There has never been another series like this!

[@alexpkeaton4471]

Those Lost forums were great and also sometimes pretty silly. Over-analyzing fan: "I'm pretty sure that there is something significant to the story in the reflection in Jack's eye but I can't quite make out what it is." me: "It's a camera."

[@jplonsdale7242]

The IMDB forums for lost used to be hilarious. It's a shame they stopped the forums was some crazy stuff on them.

[@strawzindrawz21]

Still waiting for a show that hits like Lost, they have tried and failed quite a few times, I have a feeling ill be waiting alot longer lol

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

Spread the word! Not only did the show stick the landing, it also provided us with everything we needed in order to understand what was going on. The story was complete, the lore was deep, and the answers are all there. Just like Locke and The Swan, sometimes a little excavation is required.

[@OhHeyTrevorFlowers]

Oh, dang. This is the video that I didn't know I needed. My feeling of closure is immense!

[@ficrispin]

Ohh I'm excited about this. My most favourite show of all time. I've watched it countless times and each time I've discovered something new. The story is just brilliant and fit people who say they don't get it .. they really need to watch it more closely. I remember when it first aired and the absolute insanity and hype it generated! Each week the theories and speculations. It was such a fun time. Some of the character deaths still hurt me deep till this day. 💔 What a show

[@alankerrr]

Thank you for this Ryan. Its a hard life being a die hard Lost fan and having to put up with 14 years of people saying the ending is bad because they flat out didn't pay attention and didn't understand it. The ending, like the whole show, is great.

[@alankerrr]

@@gowsa2233 certain characters last season arcs could have been a lot better (Sayid, Sun, Jin) and a lot of the Temple stuff is kind of meh, but the eventual reasons for all of the losties being brought to the island is really good, and I think everything in the Flash Sideways is excellent. Especially on a rewatch.

I never got why so few people understood this ending. I can get being dissatisfied with it, but thinking it meant "the island is purgatory" bewilders me.

its funny too because when Jack and his dad talk at church he literally explains everything to Jack and therefore the audience as well.

Must leave a comment on the music in the series. At a time when most shows were incorporating popular songs into their shows, Lost had the most amazing score. Michael Giacchino was the Ramin Djwadi of the early 2000's.

I got EXACTLY what the ending was saying the first time that it aired when I watched it. In the last 14 years I’ve argued with so many people about what the ending was that just don’t get it, so thank you for explaining it correctly finally! Also, the showrunners have said that this is ultimately JACK's story. That is why some of the mysteries didn't get answered because they were not relevant to his story.

[@BusketRVA]

Ryan I need to thank you for making this video. You had me thinking about LOST again, when it was mentioned in the recent ACOLYTE you made, and how that show affected my life and my friends lives and is pretty much responsible for my kids existing. I had a group of 20 to 30 friends who would get together weekly for each new episode of LOST and we did this for 4 years. Anyway I personally really liked the ending of the show even if half the people in my group didn't. They mostly wanted answers to everything and I would always say that it is the journey not the destination that matters and that any answers they got probably wouldn't be as good as they answers we came up with together in our heads. The producers even released that deleted scene with Hurly, Mike, and Walt visiting the Dharma station in the real world saying something similar about getting answers. I really hope everyone who had a problem with LOSTs ending watches your video cause it will definitely help them understand better.

This is the most eloquent argument I’d love to have when discussing Lost years ago with ppl who didn’t understand the show! Great video!!! ❤

[@yarostarak5977]

The line when Jack's father says you built this place to help you all 'remember' is one of the most powerful pieces of writing I've come across in media, because it teaches through our current version of storytelling what many spiritual books and teachers have talked about since we first asked the question 'why are we here?'. Every spiritual teaching I've come across in some way talks about the purpose of life being to remember who or what you really are. If we are to believe we are all spirit having a human experience, which at birth requires us to 'forget' who are so we can truly live the experience of being human, that to me is the best explanation for existence I've come across. Lost ultimately left us with this message. They all came together, lived, loved, lost, fully experienced physical existence, eventually all died at different times and places, then moved on, remembering what they really are. This moment of remembering at death must be truly incredible. To finally know what you might feel or intuit in life, that stories like Lost allude to, would be the most wonderful experience of them all. I for one like to look at death this way, it makes it seem like an amazing transition and expansion of awareness.

[@ChasChasityChas]

I just returned home from a week in Hawaii with my wife and Lost was on my mind the entire time. I wanted to do the Lost tour but it was too expensive.

Vindication! I've stood firmly by this finale since it aired and have always preached its perfection. This video had me yelling "thank you" over and over again as I watched.

[@davidsoria9717]

One of the most misunderstood series finales of all time... And one one of the best. It gives closure to all its characters and wraps its story up in a such a poignant way that it makes you reflect on the entirety of the story. I'm so glad ScreenCrush finally made a video about it. And I don't mean to advertise someone else's channel on this one but if you're looking for a deeper insight that strengthens the messages of this video, check out LOST Explained. That dude does a six part mini docu-series that goes deep into everything on the show, from the island's origins, to the symbolism of the numbers, to the reasons these particular people were selected, and yes, to even the ending. The ending of that made me cry and reflect just as much as the show did. Anyway, great job ScreenCrush. You nailed the ending. I know it's a long shot but here's hoping for a breakdown of every episode (or perhaps each season). 🛩️🏝️

To me, as a life long LOST apologist and lover, I humbly submit, that the line of the show.....the theme of the show, really comes down to the line.

I spent the better part of 15 years being pissed off at this series and it’s ending. The last few weeks I decided to rewatch it and finally finished it tonight. INCREDIBLY different perspective the second time around!! I think there has to be significant consideration made for the old “week to week” version of shows versus modern binge watching. So much of the detail in this show got lost (pun intended), overlooked, and/or forgotten week to week, season to season. When you can watch separate episodes in a shorter time frame, those details stay fresh on your mind and give the narrative much more color. If you loved Lost when it was on the air but hated the ending…I highly encourage you to rewatch it!

[@joyb.5090]

I do think that the 1 episode per week format was great if you were super into the show, rewatching each episode, chatting on message boards and listening to the podcasts. It gave you time to process what was going on and catch things you missed when you watched it the first time. I can see how if you were a casual watcher of the show every week that it would be super easy to have missed a lot, or as you say forgot things from week to week. I was in the super obsessed category, lol. So when the finale came I was like, "I can't believe people didn't GET THAT!!"

And you were a great #1 Hugo" exchange between Hurley & Ben at the church in the finale. In the epilogue (a short video on the DVD of season 6 that's on youtube) Hurley and Ben go and get Walt from the asylum to help his dad (Michael, who is stuck as a whisperer) and presumably to be the new protector to eventually replace Hurley. So Hurley lived a long life and then handed off the protector reins when he was ready.

Lost is such and incredible show, one that sticks with you and impacts you forever. So many people have misunderstood its ending, but really it's a beautiful ending and a PERFECT one at that. Thank you for covering it in this video. 😊

I jumped in on season 3 and binged the first two on TVD. Quickly became my favorite show. I didn’t find the end confusing but my god did I have to explain it SO MANY TIMES.

Interesting the amount of other KZbinrs talking about Lost at the moment. Great video. Just curious if anyone might have an idea why I've been seeing an uptick in content on it.

It's 20y next september and there's a special coming! ❤

@@ftnunosilva ayo thank you I didn’t expect an answer. That’s awesome

I read that it's now coming to Netflix

It’s just been added to Netflix

THANK you! Back in the day I tried to tell family that watched the show and were disappointed with the ending that they weren’t “dead all along” and that only the flash sideways scenes were the afterlife. I finally feel validated!

[@GetMiked]

Thank you for making this video! I've always loved this ending. Beautiful, emotional, and SO misunderstood. Stunning finale

[@jtt9810]

Huh? I'm still confused and I still love LOST.

[@carlyrichards6942]

Time travel, by season 6 everyone is dead and season 6 is personal purgatory flashbacks, end is when they all meet when they are all finally dead lol. Best way to explain?

[@warlordapb1430]

I was confused about the ending for years until I watched this video 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@annmarie3773]

Thank you so much for doing this video!! It always made me mad that people misunderstood this ending so much!

[@Lance37a]

A great recap of the ending, very well done!

[@mr_scorpio5177]

Best TV show of all time

[@hsft]

One of the best shows of all time and you nailed it. The ending was perfect, just too many people didn’t understand it. Also LOST was the first show to bring internet nerds together to comb through a show for hidden Easter eggs and clues. And now we’re here. 😂

[@raideroftombs]

First, Hiiiiiii Doug!! 🥰 Second, great epy, Ryan. LOST has been my favorite show for so long. Happy to see you guys break this down for the masses. Well done!

[@whatisdelicious]

A friend who'd never seen LOST before joined me for the finale as it aired live, so I had explain everything Ryan explained here in 3-minute chunks. It was a trip for both of us. Also, I had my first-ever nosebleed literally AS Faraday got one during season 4. Dude I love LOST.
