Well, I saw the finale yesterday. Thankfully, there were no errors this time and I was able to see everything. I'm posting this without having read the rest of this thread, mind you...
I have mixed feelings about it all. Sure, it was big and epic, we got closure for the characters. But the flash sideways stuff? They were all dead? Why does the afterlife (Or purgatory, I guess I should say) take the form of a life in which they never crashed? Does this kind of thing happen to everyone or just the people who were on the island? Did it exist before they detonated the bomb? It just bothers me.
I did like how the final shot reflected the first one. Everything has come full circle.
