Lost: The End

A-a-awesome!

That's it, then.

The series finale stirs up a lot of emotions; right now I could almost envy sensitive people.

It's better to watch it this way with the ads, and the enjoyment was stretched out over 2.5 hours, and during the breaks you could digest what you'd seen — a lot happened in that time.

In my opinion, the most emotional scene turned out to be the one between John and Ben, I hope they really do make a series with Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson in the lead roles. The second scene is, of course, Sawyer and Juliet. Then, probably, there's also Sayid and Shannon, although it's hard to single out any one thing here, all the flashback scenes were good.

Beyond those, the fight between Jack and "Locke" made me worry about the outcome. Well, and the very last moments of the series are something else too. It's interesting that they made the ending in the same place and in a similar way to the beginning, only the dying Jack's eye closed, Vincent didn't run away but stayed beside him, and the plane flew off rather than crashed.

Hurley deservedly became the new guardian of the Island — the role really suited him, Ben also finally got the role he deserved, second-in-command, which he handled well, judging by their dialogue after death.

It's no coincidence the creators mentioned the film "The Sixth Sense" and the idea of purgatory in interviews earlier, they did pull it off after all, only in the very last season, when after 5 years many had forgotten about that idea. But the season itself gives you plenty to recall, when at the start it became clear that as she was dying Juliet saw an "alternate reality", and Richard too was shouting that everyone is dead, though he was actually right — just not in that reality.

Yes, there will still be a lot of talk, and there will be arguments about what it all was. But in the end they clearly showed that, when Jack was dying, he was seeing what comes after death...

Still, it was a unique phenomenon in the history of television. It's unlikely anything like it will be repeated or that anything similar will come along soon. Yes, we didn't get answers to some of the questions, but that's not important. The story is more valuable, the way it was presented, the feelings it conveyed and food for thought. You can keep imagining what will happen, everyone will have their own version, but this is the end of the story, a proper end.

So, now "Jimmy Kimmel Live" is starting, with the actors and creators of the series, and 3 alternative endings will be shown. It'll be interesting.

UPD. All the "alternative" endings were in the style of the show, lots of laughs and nothing serious. This only confirms that the series was originally meant to have one ending and everything was heading toward it.
