Lost-The End

I watched the series finale of Lost last night with half the nation and need to comment on my take of the ending. First, I got hours of enjoyment from the show so I feel like bashing the ending would seem....spoiled and entitled. After all, they gave me so many great episodes, how can I complain? The show takes tons to produce. And I am talking all the behind the scenes stuff. The cast & crew totaled over 400 people!

That said, I am may be a bit unsatified from the last episode with regards to the storyline. Sure, I could be annoyed that for the life of me I don't get the black smoke monster, the cork holding in the light, when babies can't be born on the island except Claire's, how did a polar bear get on the Island, who dropped them food in season 1, what significance does the song "Downtown" have with relation to Desmond, was Mr. Whitmore good or bad, how did the time travel thing work, why is Walt so special, what was the Dharma initiative about anyway, How come the beautiful eye-liner guy wasn't in the church (was he, did I miss him?), Why didn't Danial Faraday have to go into the church....????? I have many more.

I would rather point out that the show, with all it's crazy symbols, some real some smoke and mirrors, was about relationships. About taking your life and sharing it with someone.  Not to be perfect but to have relationships, healthy ones, with the people whom you feel a connection. The connection you have between people is not a tangible. It's an energy. A vibration that can only be felt intimately between each other. It is precious and may be a short lived relationship. None the less it is one that makes each of you a better person. Together you are more than the sum of your parts. This is what Lost was about. Relationships that we should hold sacred and close. Never forgetting that in a instant things can change. Shifts happen and poof...the person can be gone. But that energy, that connection will always be there. And being aware of it will lead to gratitude. Once we are grateful we can't be spoiled.

So sure I got tons of questions for the writers of Lost. But for myself, I got a lot of answers. Thanks for your message. I got it loud and clear. No Man/Women Is An Island.
