Everything that happened on the Island was real. The flashbacks and flash-forwards we saw in previous seasons were real. The "alternative timeline" we saw this season was them in the afterlife, they just needed to find each other and meet one last time to move on.
Jack saved the island and died (obviously), the other Oceanic 815 people just died before or after, the latter definitely applies to the people who managed to escape on the Ajira plane.
As for the island, it is just a damn freaky and mysterious place, simple as that really. The characters themselves know just as much as we (the viewers) do about the place, which is fine by me. A little bit of mystery is a good thing sometimes, especially when it comes to the island
.
Good finale, enjoyed it. Now I need to pick up all the seasons on blu-ray!
As expected the fan reaction is very much love or hate, I think it comes down to which part of the series you were drawn to more, Characters or the Island and its mysteries.
Jack about to flying punch MiB in the face, in the rain matrix stylee. Was like oh man moment, as said think that was part 1 finished going into part 2
However, if that was the case Part Two only lasted an hour with breaks.. Where's my extra 15 minutes!
This had already been shown on the east coast of America, which gave Sky time to edit the version we saw that was being shown the same time as it was on in the west coast of America. All those times we had the screen that said something like "The last episode of Lost. Live in the US" would have been a proper ad break in the US, whereas we went straight back to the show. If you add up the amount of those and the time of ad breaks they would have accounted for, then it would total the 15-20 minutes we appeared to be missing.
Wow. That sounds very different to where I left the show. And certainly interesting. So... did they manage to make sense of that and make it work? If they did, I'm impressed.
Oh and I think the 's' at the end of your spoiler tags are what is causing them not to work. Done that myself many times.
