Oh, LOST <3 It was such a brilliant six seasons of my life, so well crafted and imagined and executed, just, guh. Also, as for the finale, the sideways-verse, as far as I know, is sort of a metaphorical purgatory? Like, everyone wasn't already dead on the island, they died at different points in their individual lives, but because of the connection that the island had forged between them, they landed in the same place/alternate timeline post death, where they'd have to remember their past, as such, before being able to move on. That maybe even if the island had not existed, their lives would be different, yes, but also the same in a lot of ways, which means that there could possibly, not conceivably be a time in their lives that the island had not existed, since it's the effects which defined it and not the material "thing" itself. It also means that post-Island, in the usual timeline, they could've lived completely different lives, like maybe they never saw each other again etc., but in the alternate timeline, they HAD to come to terms with their past and their issues to be able to move on.
