I like the series alot, but the ending blew so much ass. It didnt explain shit!!!!! So they were dead from the start? the whole island ment nothing and the flashsidesways ment nothing? Were they alive on the island and then died off? Why didnt ben go at the end? was he not dead?
Why in the flashsideways do they have memories of the island when they are dead?
WAS EVERYTHING THAT LEAD UP TO THE LAST EPISODE POINTLESS? It sure seems like it. Probally going to piss alot of people off by saying it sucked, but I was a huge fan of the show and think the ending was terrible. To each there own, but I would love to hear what people think as to what that shit ment and all the questions that were left unanswered. As you can tell I am mad about the ending

SPOILERS: If you don't know what happened, and don't want to, do not read further. This is my interpretation, however.

So they were dead from the start?

WAS EVERYTHING THAT LEAD UP TO THE LAST EPISODE POINTLESS?

Everything that happened, happened. People died at different times. Time is a circle. The alternate/modern day life that was shown was created by them as a place to meet back up, to continue to the afterlife.

It was suggested that the most memorable point in your life, what really defines you as a person and the people around you at that time are linked together. To proceed forward, they needed everyone together that was a part of it, to go together.

If you notice towards the end, Hurley says to Ben, "You were a great #2." That suggests that time did progress past the point of Jack dying on the island. No one knows how long the Hurley/Ben reign was, or what happened afterwards.

Everyone dies eventually.
