If not pushing that button in season 2 caused an electromagnetic surge that could have destroyed the world, what's to say that distinguishing this power source and removing the metaphorical CORK wouldn't cause world destruction? Yes, it is left very ambiguous in the end though and we can only guess. They resolve that the light must stay lit or 'that'll be it for all of us.' This is probably something subject for interpretation, but it really seems like when putting all of these episodes together and seeing what was happening when that light DID go out, that if this Island's light went out, it may have had repercussions to the rest of the world.But there are some things that I accepted as FACT by the end of this show, and I cannot help but write the recap this way, especially when it comes to the Sideways resolution! So, hopefully this may clear things up for some who are confused! Here we go! I definitely will keep to my normal style of recapping by posing various questions to ponder. Our Island story is coming first in our final recap!ĭisclaimer: It is very surprising for me to see how many people are already coming up with different philosophies on how this show ended. Considering how this one ended, I think we have to switch up our story lines. But there is one stubborn 'last recruit' in Jack Shephard.

A Prison Break, a Concert and a Hospital play their parts in uniting everyone to where they need to be. Then in Sideways land, things to be shaping up where people are being 'ENLIGHTENED' to where they are. And Miles 'RAN AWAY' from conflict to save his own tail. Richard was blown away by Smokey with his fate uncertain. He has seemingly recruited Ben to help him out in this task. Smokey has vowed to destroy the Island with the use of Desmond 'the Fail safe'. On the Island, Jack has been dubbed the 'Protector of the Island' and he along with Kate, Sawyer and Hurley have been tasked with the need to kill Smokey before he destroys the Island. The End - 'It only Ends Once, everything else is progress.' Everything that we have seen for 6 seasons and everything that was set up this season all culminates to one definitive ending point. For now, I have to say that this final episode of LOST was one great THRILL of a ride! I was on the edge of my seat, I was crying, I feel like I need to go buy something at Target (man how many commercials were there? Can't believe I decided to watch LIVE! The LOST-Inspired Target commercials were very funny though), and of course there was enough intrigue in the episode to leave us talking for days, weeks, months, years! I cannot help but give this episode a major WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! And my entire LOST experience one giant SUPER WOW!!!! I dread this folks, but it's time to get to the next paragraph! But we're going to get through it! I will save my thanks and goodbyes for the end. So, this may be a bit emotional for all of us. And while this blog is not going anywhere and I will be posting things in the future, there will not be a new hour of LOST to discuss. This is my final LOST recap (do I detect some tears out there? There are some right here!). And I am guessing this is by design! The significance of the end will not escape me, but there is a significance in this blog posting at the same time. But clearly, things are being interpreted in different ways.

They need to show us the very 'END'! And folks, that's exactly what we got! I will try to weigh in on my opinions throughout the recap of that very point. There is only one way to definitively END a story.

From this blogger's perspective though, I can not think of a more fitting end to the show that captured our imagination for 6 years. The conclusion to the Sideways Timeline will be the cause for much debate about the whole point of the entire series. Hello LOSTIES!!!! You must excuse me, I am still wiping the tears away from an incredibly emotional 2.5 hour experience! What an episode, what a conclusion! The feelings for this episode will, no doubt, be all over the map.
