Lost: The End

The two and 1/2 hour finale of Lost is over and my head is still spinning. I don't really know what to make of it yet, though I do know that I was entranced by every second last night. It was an emotionally satisfying episode (albeit a very confusing mental one) that ended the series in a moving way. Was it the best way to wrap up the series? That will likely be debated for a long time, but I, for one, can say I loved it.

There was no way the producers and writers would have been able to answer all the questions that were built up over 6 amazing seasons. Instead, they brought the show back to what it made it great, the wonderful characters. It was never about the mystery or the island, it was about the people and how they interacted and cared for one another.

I spent the majority of the episode basically in tears. Each one of the "sideways" reunions brought out more and more emotions. There were too many moments that blew me away. My favorites were when Hurley sees Charlie for the first time, Sawyer and Juliet at the candy machine, and of course, Jack and Kate finding each other again.



The ending has a lot of people up in arms, but I think it was just perfect. These people had found salvation and redemption through one another and that they would meet up later to head to the afterlife together was fitting. Thank you Lost for 6 seasons of wonder, amazement, laughter, anger, and frustration. Lost did what good tv is meant to do, entertain and challenge. There will likely never be another show quite like it.
