Purgatory always made the most sense.

Ruin the series? Common, this is there tale, and they said they had this ending from the beginning. I think it was pretty sweet.

Im gonna reserve judgment on this for a couple days. But initial reaction is a surprise at purgatory. I was thinking they would be able to pull it together in a different way.

Alright it didn't ruin the series, but it was definitely a terrible last 10 minutes, especially when all the writers claimed that they weren't dead for the past 6 years, when in fact they were.

No they werent dead, I am discussing this with friends. The island is real, and it was all real. The alt universe is where you go when you die, no matter what the time. It was obviously in the future (hurley said, you were a good number 2 ben, and he said you were a great number 1). When you die, you get to go to LA X, and "move on" in your life.

So, the wreckage at the end, was the plane that Lipedious, Sawyer, Kate, Richard, Claire and Miles took off?
Also, when did everyone die-the initial crash or the H-bomb?
What about the Dharma Initiative, was that a creation too?

I agree more with this line of thought. At some point, they all died whether on the island or in LA and when they die, they all end up together because that is how it was meant to be.

Ahhh, that makes sense. That makes perfect sense.
But, what about Hurley?
So, I'm guessing the wreckage at the end was Sawyer and them?

I took the final shots at the end to be the original plane in the pilot. Kinda like a reminder where we all started on this journey.

So when did Kate, Sawyer, Lupides, Alpert, and what's his name die?
I thought the plane was rigged with explosives by Locke?

i didnt watch the show, but i just got off the phone with my buddy was pretty pissed at the ending. especially after spending a lot of time watching the last few seasons on DVD to get caught up for tonight. i was surprised how similar the ending was to my prediction of it being just a dream was.

It didnt matter when they died. Jack's dad said that to jack. That is why Kate told him he missed him so much. I am sure she went on to live the rest of her life without him. But in Alt-universe purgatory/thing they all meet up and atone for their lives.

I took this from a Facebook post I saw:
The island was real- Hurley went on to do his job until he died and the people on the plane went on to live thier lives until they died. The flash sideways (afterlife) was where they all met (all the important people in their lives) to "move on". Thats my understanding...
This is how I understood it as well. I just couldn't write it that well.

If you listened to Christian Shepard, this was what he was getting at.

IT WAS NOT A DREAM/PURGATORY. The island was real. The alternate universe is where you go when you die.

I am glad some of you actually listened while watching the show. The island was real, everything was real. After they died, they went to purgatory, which was the flash sideways, until everyone could remember about their time on the island. Once that happened, they could all go cross over, or whatever.

Well I obviously need to watch the episode again. I think I just got it into my head that they had been dead the entire time. I take back what I said earlier.

To me, it makes sense. You are brought to the island so that you can learn to love somebody/let go of your life's baggage. It is for the people that have horrible lives, so they can let go. When they then die, they go to the alt, and atone for their problems.

Ben didn't move on, because he felt he didnt move on.
