shipperxWell...hmm... still digesting.
Not as pulse-pounding as many Lost episodes, but it did choke me up a number of times. I still have questions. Such as exactly, what was the sideways-verse in the end. Other questions:What or who in the hell was Jack's son? I admit that I was totally intrigued for a moment that perhaps this was a series of events that Hurley had created... and perhaps he had a hand in it. And I admit that I somewhat preferred that thought to the heaven-like ending. I was happy that Hurley was the ultimate island protector and liked Ben telling him that he could do it differently and with different rules than Jacob.
I noticed that the window in the church was clearly non-denominational.
And, again, the ending left me teary. I know that the show always denied that the island was purgatory, but I'm not sure that the finale doesn't leave me thinking that it more-or-less was. And, again, not sure what the sideways then really, really was. That said, in the end, they gave us many lovely and loving tributes to the characters. Several of them made me cry (Jin/Sun, Charlie/Claire, and Sawyer/Juliet definitely had me teary). And, as I had said months ago, I was plenty okay with their going out on the overall hint that what really matters is love. Love of friends, family, lovers, children... the ties that bind us being friendship, love, and forgiveness. So, I'll digest and I can raise a lot of "but... Huh?" questions. But in the end, it made me teary and okay at the same time so, I guess I'm satisfied. It's worth thinking about.
