I was an emotional mess during the Lost finale

I FINALLY FINISHED!!

I was basically choked up or crying from the time that Jin and Sun "died" in the submarine. I don't have a whole lot of coherent thoughts at the moment, but would love to talk about the show now that I've finished. I'd love to know what it was like when the show was on the air and actually ended.

I thought the alternate timeline throughout the last season was very interesting, especially as the characters started remembering in the last episode.

I guess I should mention that I knew on some level that they were all dead from when I began watching the series. I had no clue where it would go, or how they would reveal that the characters were all dead and I was afraid that it was going to be ambiguous so I was very happy when Jack's father came out and said it.

Can someone explain the alternate timeline to me. Were they in both places at once? It just doesn't make sense that if they died like for example Juliet that she would go to this alternate place because say Hurley never "died" on the island, but he was in the alternate place. I will definitely be googling all about Lost, but it'll probably have to wait until tomorrow because I've exhausted!

Overall I have to say I was very happy with the finale. I thought it was going to be majorly disappointing, but to me it really did the season justice after a whole lot of mind fuckery.

Oh, and any fanfic recs would be GREATLY appreciated!

When the show was on the air and actually ended...wow...the fandom was so much fun back then with the theories and the fanfic challenges. The shipper people, especially the triangle shippers were disappointed, but everyone else who loved the characters and missed the people that died were happy with the reunions. Lost finales were the best part of the seasons in my opinion and i for one was very satisfied with how it ended. My charlie and claire and their turnip head back together again lol

The alternate timeline was the purgatory where they waited for everyone who was on the island to die and then they were reunited. Hurley did eventually die on the island and when he did, he went to the alternate timeline and was reunited with everyone. Like when Charlie died...that was his purgatory until Claire eventually died and they were reunited. Or when Jack died and was reunited with Kate, who eventually died after living her life once they escaped the island.


As for fanfic, the site is dead now, but there are some great fic there lostsquee: http://lostsquee.livejournal.com/ there are master lists of some fic challenges that had been posted. You can also find fanfic at fanfiction.net. I hope that helps:)

Okay so what you're saying is that they survived the olive crash and lived on the island? I just read something that said everything that happened actually happened. So that means the plane crashed because of Desmond, they survived, smoke monsters are real and so is time travel? I'm really not sure how I feel about that.

Yeah, it all really happened.
