I would like to hear some more interpretations, or explanations if anyone has them. I’m welcome to news ideas of what happened and what meant, I just feel like so much was left unanswered, like what about ECHO?!?! And a lot of the other people that did die on the island, if they died on the island why aren’t they there? Anna loucia???? If anyone has some ideas I would love a back and forth

I found the ending to Lost just a steaming pile of christian propaganda, but that is just me. F*ck and kill whoever you want, as long as you are somewhat sorry everyone is friends in the end! Screw that, make heaven on earth people!

The reason so many of the people who died on the island weren't in the sideways reality was because that was created by those who's most important time was spent on the island. Such as most of the main cast who made the relationships that they cherished forever.
Eko wasn't on the island long enough and didn't bond with the people who were in the sideways universe. Also his actor wanted out of the show when his character died, so he wasn't coming back. Some who died on the island are probably still stuck there like Michael, doomed to be one of the whispers, at least until Hurley changes the rules and sets them free from an eternity of being stuck. And Christian flat out explains that the sideways universe doesn't exist at a specific time, since he describes some of the deaths to Jack as "well before or well after your death". It was basically like a holding tank for all of them until they were able to accept they were dead and move on into the light. So no, they didn't die in the initial crash, the last shots were basically to remind everyone where it started. At least that is how i see it. Still want to rewatch the episode to take it all in. | ||

The Hurley in the church is a future Hurley who had already spent an unspecified amount of time as the protector of the Island along with Ben Linus as his assistant. Presumably changing the rules and doing a good job of it (since Linus tells him 'By the way, you were a great #1'). In fact, in retrospect, it's pretty clear he was acting in a 'Jacob' role in the sideways universe for the last few episodes.
Remember, as Mr. Sheppard told Jack, "There is no 'now' here", meaning that the church exists independently of time. Presumably all the people in the church had lived full, rewarding lives prior to showing up to 'move on'. It's just that these events were merely hinted at, and not actually shown to the viewers.

My take on it is that time didn't matter in the alternate timeline (to me it was what Christians consider Purgatory with the caveat of remembering one's death shows they have gone full circle as a spirit and may progress to the true afterlife) rather than just in the church. On that same vein the line by Christian, "[You created this together so you would have a place to meet and remember]," was in regards to the church itself rather than the entire planet/existence/plane/universe.
I think of it this way (this is the message I took from it) - the entire show is a microcosm of life, we have mysteries that can never be solved yet we, as humans, continue to see those answers until we either give up or subscribe to faith. As such, we have very vague answers to seemingly endgame questions: what is the light source? What is the MIB's name? Who came before Jacob's mother? You can view these in regular life: where does life come from? Does God exist? If yes/no, who or what came before us? Lost, at it's core, is about Jack's journey from being a lost soul to completing his destiny and taking the next step into the unknown. Going back to the church, if you believe that Christian meant the friends made the church and not the entire alternate existence (so they could meet once again), you may do the same as I just did with the unanswerable questions. People create and harbor relationships, we forgive and love, we hate and despise. Through doing this we forge intense relationships, share and develop ideas, and create theories that bind or separate us. The church is a metaphor for that. They created a Christian temple so they could congregate together as friends and people who shared the most important time in their lives together and then step into the beyond and complete the life cycle. At the end of the day, Lost was about the relationships and development/redemption of certain characters; Jack in particular. We saw his life develop and change, his time as protector of the Island and his progression towards fulfillment and entrance into the after life. The people who miss this and get hung up on the minor mysteries are missing what lost was about; life - and you don't get all the answers here either. | ||

Some may think the ending was Christian, in fact it wasnt.
When Jack and his father are talking right after they hug, pay close attention to the stained glass and look at the several icons in the window. Yes it was a church, yes there was a light. But that one clue, that is the stained glass doesnt point to a christian dogma necesarily....
