The Ending Of Lost Finally Explained

Lost was a show that introduced so many mysteries over the course of six seasons that fans were nervous about how it would all wrap up in the finale. Ultimately, the ABC drama disappointed a lot of viewers with “The End,” as it seemed to go in a predictable and unsatisfying direction, but there might be more to the show’s final episode than you realized the first time. From the truth about whether the characters actually died in a plane wreck to the meaning of all those scenes set in an alternate reality, let’s take a look at the explanation of the ending of Lost.

This show is a masterpiece on so many different levels. The images, the characters, the stories, even going into myths and legends, time travel and overwhelming spirituality. Not even to mention the Amazing location and the perfection of the soundtrack. Everytime I focus on one character during each rewatch. I get something new every time. I've even done several psychology papers on it.

[@sameus]

Yeah, it was beautiful how she got engaged to someone else, and we never got any insight into her personal life or why she even cares about Desmond. Let's face it, her character was a one-note trophy. An object of affection for Desmond to chase. We saw his POV, not hers. It wasn't a love story.

I used to think Lost was the worst ending I ever saw.... Then I dedicated years to Game of Thrones....; now I remember Lost more fondly 🤭🤷‍♀️

[@FeanorRocky]

I think they have diferent qualities of terrible. The Lost Creators actually hurt us a lot, because we where hoping for some, or ONE... well , consistent asnwer to all the secrets. GoT was just a cheap sell out, telling mus much more about D & D, two privileged Kids at the right time and place, with the right amount of money. Or to point it out like that : Lost tried, and failed. D & D treid kind of, did not have the talent, and then stopped caring. U feel the difference when wathcing. Lets be jsut happy , its both over, and never truist the makers of Lost, o D & D again. i am kind of happy, that D & D went to star wars, because the shitpile on that franhcise is like overcomplete now :-)

[@jheal62]

Lost wasn’t terrible it was just too ambiguous. Game of Thrones was too rushed. They tried to tie up all of the plot points in less episodes than originally anticipated. My vote for worst would be Dexter. Nonsensical garbage.

[@angryroo2337]

That's the truth! 'Why do you think I came?' Really?!?!??

[@hinglemccringleberry7265]

@@FeanorRocky I think you should reconsider trusting at least Damon Lindloff from Lost again even though Lost kinda failed. He created one of the all time best shows "the Leftovers" and you can also hear positive things about the new watchmen. The Problem with Lost was in many ways the network. They had a hit show and basically made the showrunners go on forever with plenty of episodes untill the showrunners realized that their show is getting worse and then they decided to end it after another 3 seasons which is a compromise as well and went on as before. Also JJ Abrams fault who just starts shit like Lost, star wars or star trek without knowing where to go with it and then wants to abandon ship. Money and lack of dedication is nowadays the most common cause for bad storytelling. D&D wanted that sweet star wars and netflix money even though hbo was dedicated to more seasons and abc wrecked Lost for greed and JJ is just a bitch for anything that promises commercial success.

[@hylianchriss]

Maybe that was their plan all along! They waited 5 years, then they spent 10 more years creating a brilliant and great TV show to get everyone's attention - then they botched the ending on purpose to make people like the Lost finale a little more xD

1. They weren’t dead the whole time 2. The flash-sideway was the bridge between their death and heaven. They had to amend/deal with their regrets/struggles. Jack had to be a father so that he could experience what his father went through and finally forgive him. Sayid helped Nadia’s husband because he blamed himself for her death in real life. Ben helped Alex with her Yale application because he blamed himself for her death. After they dealt their complexes, finally they arrived at the church 3. Even though they died in different times, they all met at the heaven as if they just died. There was no waiting in heaven. When Kate said to Jack at the concert, “I missed you so much”..she meant that she lived a lonely life after his death. 4. The bomb didn’t work. Ben wasn’t on that plane. Still he was a part of the flash sideways. So the “plane didn’t crash because the bomb go off” theory isn’t correct. 5. Richard’s curse was over. He wasn’t immortal. His hair turned grey. 6. Ben couldn’t let go off the guilt/regret of Alex’s death. That’s why he didn’t enter the church. Also there’s a chance Ben tried to betray Hurley after he replaced Jack. When Hurley said, “Ben, you were a great number 2”, I felt like Hugo was trying to forgive Ben for something 7. Dr chang was the host of the Dharma initiative videos. He was the also host of the charity concert. Maybe he found redemption too 8. Jacob’s death was little undercooked. The only way someone could kill him if the person stabbed him before he could speak. But before dying, Jacob had a full conversation with Ben.

[@PeterKocic]

I watched this show when it aired from start of Season 4. Then some years afterI re-watched it. Then recently I binge watched it in just some weeks during Covid. It truly amazes me how it's only the third time I could pick up on all the finer details, especially from Season 6. It was truly written for the fans, giving you details spanning backwards that was very hard for anyone but hardcore fans to pick up on and understand, and remember. It's an amazing show and I usually tell people that Season 2 and half-way into 3 is the 'tough phase' - where things just becomes stranger and stranger, and you are left with more and more questions. But then, somewhere there in S03 small trickles of answers appear. If you still do not like this show when S03 has gone through half way ...then you can stop right there. But if you do - it's the most amazing show I've ever seen and I'm already looking forward seeing it again.... just convinced a colleague at work to see it and he's binged four seasons in 3 weeks time now.

@@filipzdelar7125 All of the stuff on the island actually happened. They weren’t dead the whole time. Christian Shepherd explains it in the finale inside the church. The personal connections that they all made on the island were so significant that when they all eventually died at different times and in different places, they were reunited in the afterlife, which was what was happening in the entirety of season 6 while they were off island. They all had to “wake up” and realize where they were. I was satisfied by the ending, though some people weren’t. It was inevitable that not everyone would like it because expectations were too high. I appreciated the journey as much or more than the destination. It’s still my favorite TV show ever.

The ending where they all meet at the same time and place makes sense. Time only exists on earth, not in eternity. The time we spend here on earth will seem as just a flash when we look upon it with the perspective of eternal beings. That's why when we meet friends and relatives and ancestors again in the afterlife, despite having all passed on at different times, it will be almost as though we had never been separated. We can then move on into eternity, with this lifetime having been just one of infinite opportunities to have learned through our short experience here. Namaste.

[@MattrickBT]

@@ChampaBayBeast The idea that they changed things as they went is incorrect. The began planning the endgame during season 3, which is why Kate and Sawyer were building the runway for Ajira 815 in season 5. The endgame was officially being solidified between seasons 3 and 4 and why they announced there would be 3 more seasons at reduced episode counts. The only real changes they made were reducing season 4 due to the WGA strike. Basically they were building to the end for 60-70% of the show, which is more than you can say for most shows who literally make it up as they go and then find a way to end it...if they even get that far. Most people who say this just have crappy memories and forget that things in the show are set up sometimes seasons ahead. Or they simply have trouble piecing together a large story with tons of little things to remember. Sure there were ideas and things introduced early in the show like Walt's abilities that didn't come to fruition, but that's extremely common in TV and Book Series. If you think shows sit down and map out 6 seasons right of the bat, you don't understand how writing works. Ideas change or become less tenable over time. The first 6 episodes of The Walking Dead show zombies holding objects and manipulating a door knob, things zombies don't do for the rest of the series and are now incongruent. Creative changes happen.
