"We've seen a lot of maps of Lost's mysterious lush-but-deadly island — but none as beautiful as this creation by Jonah Adkins, a professional cartographer/analyst for a DOD contractor, who's been working on Lost maps for four years": http://geographyoflost.tumblr.com/

"The Lost finale may not have answered all of our questions and settled our long-raging debates. But ABC has decided to go ahead and answer one question viewers had: Why were pictures of wreckage flashed during the end credits? At the end of the finale set pics of the destroyed Oceanic 815 plane were flashed with the credits, leaving many loyal viewers to deduce that these images actually all meant something. Perhaps these images meant that no one survived the original plane crash, since no survivors were in the shot. And therefore all six seasons of the show never happened at all."

I'm so happy that it ends but it wasn't quiet a good ending , don't you think so ?
- Viva Vida
So they are all dead? Did they die in the plane crash at the start or did they die when we saw them die, during the course of the 6 seasons?
- Kol Tregaskes
If they died in the crash then I don't get what Christian Shepherd said right at the end of the finale.
- Kol Tregaskes
no they dies after that , as Jack's father said some of them died long after he died so as I understood it means that they hadn't died the first time they were on the island
- Viva Vida
So they survived the crash? Or there was no crash at all?
- Kol Tregaskes
everything we saw since the 6th season was real , they once survived they came back and they died , some of them died on the island some after that but in the end they all got together ! I really don't like this ending !
- Viva Vida
Flashbacks were obviously not real but so the whole island story was real. So that would leave a ton of questions like what was the energy source, for one.
- Kol Tregaskes
If they all died in the crash then that's the easy option as that would suggest that the island and everything and everyone linked to it was not real.

I think they might as well had Haley Joel Osment come on at the end. The entire series was nothing more than a 3rd rate rip off of Sixth Sense. Horrid ending and a major waste of time. Worst show ending. It made me want to watch The Sopranos ending again.

Shows that are good at keeping you hanging on are never good at ending.

I believe they must finish it at the end of 4th season. no more unanswerable question will be made then ! I really couldn't understand that why Jacob's brother should be bad !? Jacob himself was even worse than the smoke !
- Viva Vida
My interpretation: most of what you saw was "real," with the exception of the "alternate reality" which takes place in a timeless afterlife. The plane crashed, they ran around and did stuff, some people died along the way, some people stayed on the island, some people left. Then, when all of them were dead, their souls meet up in some sort of afterlife waiting room before they move on...

Well the writers were suppose to say that it was always the journey, not the destination, that was important. Perhaps you could read that as an excuse for a poor ending but I loved the show from start to finish, so the journey was great. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I loved it too , it was something new and I really like to watch it from the first but the ending reminded me of Indian movies !

Just want to say, I joined sky at the right time - The office was entertainingly nuts on Monday after the player stream went down >.< I missed out on the chance to attend the filming of the final ever Lost Initiative (two people he spoke to are my new work mates) - still, checking out your new place to live is more important than getting your mug on a show ;)

Kol, I read a really interesting article, written supposedly by one of the many writers on Lost, with an explanation of things. http://io9.com/5548408... It describes the alternate reality as the "Sideways" world, a form of purgatory, where everyone died and met up eventually. I really enjoyed this writers take on the show.

There's no excusing the fact this ending would fit on any show, or story. The usual copout is it's about the characters, but ultimately it had nothing to do with any of them more than it does anyone else that's ever existed.

Jorge and his girlfriend Beth are doing a LOST podcast called "Geronimo Jack's Beard" based on their impressions of reading each episode's script.

Well, the LOST Season 6 premiere is finally almost upon us! Make sure everyone tunes in this Tuesday, Feb 2nd at 9pm to get your fix. I took a sort of hiatus on LOST news in between seasons, but I'll be filling this space with anything and everything I can find from here on out. I'm sad that it will be over, but really can't wait for it to end.
