Still, I anticipated on this rewatch that I might fall into that pessimist camp.
As more answers have been revealed from showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, opinions have shifted a bit over the years. That finale busted a fandom wide open, pitting the logical against the emotional. Jack and Kate in the church in the final moments of Lost. But the big rub? Lost left a lot of viewers dumbfounded. There were also unfounded theories that everyone was dead. There were official plans for a volcano hell scene. Eventually they caved and confirmed that: 1) no, not everyone was dead the whole time, 2) yes, that was a "heaven-esque" setting in the church where all the characters met, and 3) the purpose was to tell a story about people lost and searching for answers. Were they really dead the whole time? Why didn't it answer every question this show presented in six seasons?įor years, the creators stayed silent-refusing to over-explain the ending. At the time it aired-on May 23, 2010-fans famously did not understand what the hell had happened when Jack died on that island and was suddenly in a church with all his other dead friends. That's a big undertaking because Lost's disappointing series finale is as iconic as the show.
With time on my hands, I revisited the series in the past few months.
