Wow. Simply wow. At first I thought the looping was going to happen with Jack going to where he started with the cut on his side, but ending it where it started was a fantastic finish. It was somewhat open ended with what was going on with the people still alive, but as Christian said, verbatim, the most significant parts of their lives was from the time of the Oceanic crash to the end when the Ajira plane departed. Emotions were running high on this episode, I didn't expect answers and wanted resolution, and boy did I get it. Simply awesome. It showed how it is one of the best shows ever.

Rage. Rage. Rage. Rage.

Why did they bother with season 6? :s

What was the light, What was it doing, What was the plug, Who was jacob, how jacob did bring the 815 knowing it's desmond that didn't pushed the button, how did jacob know what he knows, How could jacob leave the island, what was smokey, What happened to hurley, What happened to ben, what happened to Frank, richard, miles, sawyer and kate. What happened to dharma, Why was faradays stuff dismissed? Why was the temple important, What was the statue, Who built the statue, Who built the tunnels, What are the hieroglyphs, What was the water in the temple for, How was ben bought back to life, Who was henry gale, If kate, claire and sawyer didn't die... and went away on the plane... Why were they in purgatory, What has the light got to do with electro-magnetism, Why does the electro-magnetism (source of the light) send you to the river side. When the donkey wheel light/electro-magnetism sends you to the middle of a desert, Why is there "Pockets" of electro-magnetism?

Look at the alt-universe as a flash post-mortem -- one that occurs after each and every one of them dies, however long that takes, or perhaps a sort of holding place for these people to finally meet-up and pass to the next "life" together in the same way they were in real life together. Jack died at the end and those that survived (Kate, Sawyer, Miles, Hurley, Ben, etc.) lived their lives beyond our story arc. When it was Jack's time to finally let go, they could all move on and enter the white light, as we know as it.

If kate, claire and sawyer didn't die... and went away on the plane... Why were they in purgatory

It wasn't purgatory in The Bible sense, it was just that they were all waiting for everyone to be ready to move on and reconnect with one another.

As for all of your other questions: I agree completely, would've been nice to at least know what the island was and more information about all the happenings on it.

Yeah I am a little disappointed that they left Faraday's stuff hanging. It seems like the whole thing with Eloise and Daniel and the sideways was only there to mislead us as to where the show was heading.

I suppose finding out those answers would really satisfy one's appetite. I would have loved to have known about the reasoning for the hieroglyphics on all the mysterious items, but I am satisfied as for leaving that up to our imaginations. The show was really about the characters and the development of the characters Overall, it was worth it for the excitement, speculation and the characters they created were beyond amazing

Remember, Christian mentioned that there was no concept of a 'now' or time in that special place. As I see it, the characters who didn't die on the island went on to live their lives beyond our story arc and died when it was their time.

I would be happy to leave that for myself to answer... If we had a leg to stand on where to start... Half the questions i think they should of answered in this season, they didn't, Not even a lead to it!

Either way though... Even if "Lost" as a whole sucked (main story)... The show was still epic... the characters individual stories were still amazing... The characters i fell in love with... (Faraday mainly... Major man crush) Were fantastic. Picking out the individual stories... Wow...

However. That said. The main story still sucks balls. :p

Some other things you can recall

Christian says the time Jack spent with them was the "most important time of his life."

Kate says "I've missed you" because she presumably lived without Jack for a time after leaving the island.

Hurley tells Ben he was a great number 2 because they actually served on the island in the real world for a time.

Ben tells Locke he doesn't need the wheelchair. He didn't need the wheelchair (or PT to learn to walk) because it wasn't real.

Ben tells Hurley he's not ready yet because he's got "more stuff to work out" before he can move on. This is a traditional purgatory motif. Similarly, Ana Lucia and Daniel Farraday are not ready to move on.

Farraday's mom asks Desmond if he is taking Daniel along. His response: I'm not taking him.

those are some very detail observations that I saw but did connect until now. Thank you for that. clears up a few more loose ends that I have in mind. I guess in a few days we will see more of detailed articles show up on the internet and as we read through them and recall back things will be more clear. Overall, Lost will go down in the history as one of the truly amazing shows.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
