Actually the spoiler IS NOT TRUE!

Lol, a trial we have here. Lets hear what you say. Are you referring to what Shadow said? If yes, what do you say? I think Shadow is correct.

Great writing and cast. The best part was the mystery slowly unfolding with each episode (even if at times it seemed we got more questions then answers). Some things were plainly explained, some partially, and some things never outright explained. You could draw your own conclusions and that is what I think made it such a huge success. People would argue about their theories the day after a show would air with anybody else that had watched it. A pet peeve of mine is how many shows and movies baby the audience by fully explaining everything with dialogue.

So I've been doing some research about the show, and I think I got the understanding of it, and my theory as to why it became a clusterfuck of a mess near the end:

Spoiler

The show is kind of based in purgatory, the world between heaven and hell that isn't the living world. But it's not purgatory to the fullest extent. Purgatory means you die and then you go there, it's cut off from the living world. But the Island has a connection to the living world. As in people can leave and come back when they please. A way to prove that it isn't purgatory is that one of the characters say in the show that children are basically, automatically entered into heaven when they die. So it wouldn't make sense for Claire's baby, or Walt to be there. Not to mention, Walt actually leaves the Island.

The Island is a form of Paradise. It's where the dead go to resolve unsolved issues in their lives. To show that it's a form of paradise, notice how awesome it is there for the survivors and how nice it is?

And showing that there is a connection to the outside world, when John Locke stops pressing the button, the electromagnetism explosion actually connects with the outside world in an Icy, snowy place (I don't know where to be honest). And the fact that Benjamin Linus has been there his whole life. But the Island is meant for the dead, that's why the smoke monster is there trying to kill "The Others", because they don't belong on that Island.

Now for my theory as to why it basically became Purgatory at the end and why the story became so damn confusing, it's simple. It was never meant to be. Directors and producers in Podcasts years ago have stated so many times that it isn't Purgatory. But nobody believed them. I think the staff just gave up and decided to just shut the fans up and make it Purgatory.

I'm sure there's more that I forgot to add but anyways, for people who just started watching the show, hope that makes sense.

Oh my God, I am sooooooooooooo happy for this show. I'm at the part where the Smoke Monster is.

I finished the series recently. I had everything understood until the very last episode. That's where everything became one big clusterfuck and threw everything out the window.

 

[nando]

How the FUCK can Libby survive two bullets from Michael?
And holy shit, this is getting intenser by the minute!
EDIT: Oh, never mind. She died like Van Gogh did, and that was sad.
