For me, I have found much more interesting discussions on this at some Lost fan sites where the views are much more open and quite diverse. If interested, I think many will find some great topics there on how some of this all comes into play and in different ways to look at not just the sideways...

"Which means the label "Purgatory" really doesn't fit, and half the discussion since the finale aired is moot. " Then you obviously need to learn more about Christian religion to make such an unfounded statement which you simply don't understand. It will take quite some time, but read ALL...

I am amazed by how certain people did not get this. The show most certainly had closure. They were all tested on the island, rather you want to take that as real life it did happen or the other view is it was purgatory too. Then they worked through their issues and were at peace in the end...

It did sound like that was personally directed at me but I understand the way it came across and accept your apology. I do think you should re-read my prior post though. I never said I was dismissing it, but obviously anyone that has ever made a statement in their life can change their...

I find it quite interesting that some don't find the show great no matter what view you have and need it to be one way or the other for sure. You also said you do not know of one other person beside Matt that would be satisfied about the view they were in purgatory the whole time. Well, then you...

Well stated and that is precisely what I have been getting at as well. This show, Lost, is open to different views and that is precisely how the show creators intended it to be. While obviously they stated their version of how it was in prior interviews, that does not negate the views of others...

Well, that sure does help some with what Cuse/Lindelof may have intended and said in past interviews about the ISLAND not being purgatory, but ABC sure did mess with some images and bad timing for sure. I still am not convinced that until Cuse/Lindelof make new statements at some point after the...

Yes, I would agree with that, but only at the time this was stated.That does not mean they can not change their minds and it was written in stone, as in Lost, everyone has a choice. I am not saying that is not correct, only that no one can make it an absolute because there are clearly other...

You and others have nailed it and that is certainly an unreliable source. I would dismiss it for sure and not even remotely consider anything they claim to be true. I am just surprised more of this sort of trash hasn't appeared by those seeking their attention.

Again, pointing out this does NOT make you are anyone else correct. It is still very much open to how you want to view it. This so called person that is said to be connected to "Bad Robot" productions is not a PROVEN SOURCE. Even if it was, that does not mean they are somehow in the know or any...

Being a man of faith myself, I have certainly been in discussions of religion as you point out so I know what you are referring to. For most religious people, it is a feeling within themselves they have. It can't really be explained, but as most would tell you that are Christian is it would be a...

I don't think you can say "the debate between Matt and everyone else" because there are many that share that view point, if not here then certainly on other sites. The Lost fan sites are on fire with a lot of this and his view certainly is not a minority view by any means, just another view that...

Well, there are certainly different ways to look at this and like I said things are open for different views. But if they were not dead and were in fact alive, then how could Jack see his Dad again off the island? Remember before they returned back to the island Jack's Dad appeared to him at...

As I have said before, I can see both sides to this and mattcr does have a view which some others may share. Not everyone has to see things your way and it does not make you correct in anything because it is open and can be seen in different ways. It is as simple as that.

I am going to say that I can see both sides of this, but for me I must disagree with most of your views. Watch the movie "Passengers" and you will find how it end to be quite similar to Lost. They too were in purgatory, but it was real life for them and they were living out their reality as a...

I can see both sides of this and neither one is right or wrong and therefore can be left open to any way you want to look at it. What you and some others are overlooking is if you look at it from what mattcr is saying, read the quote above word for word and do not insert anything else. Now...

Totally don't like how he comes off and disagree on many things with that article. I think what it comes down to is what they said all along. They are prepared for some fan backlash on how it ended. It will come down to what side you fall on as they have said all along, even on Jimmy Kimmel last...

I certainly see your points and remain somewhat conflicted myself at this time as to the island being real or not. Certainly it can be thought of in at least a couple of different ways and your views are one of them. Another thing that had me thinking about this show and how it ended was the...

Well, I sure don't want to violate the forum rules, but it is the show construct and hard not too given the source material. In any case, I read your post and wanted to say that as very much a Christian and religious person myself that I sincerely hope that you continue your search to find...

The reason why Jack comes out OK as whole and not the brother of Jacob is because of who they were spiritually. Jack was a good person down deep, the island was his test and he passed it, he was let go into the light. When Jacob's brother died, he was filled with hate and evil, thus becoming the...

Another interesting fact that may have been an even bigger "golden nugget" than anyone realized is what happened in season one that got people talking about purgatory. Remember all the talk at the time about what happened when Boone climbed up in the wrecked plane and radioed out for help? The...

I agree with that comment too. In fact there was something on this I think for Jimmy Kimmel show but not sure have watch again. Basically, it is the same point. The story was told from the beginning from Jack's point-of-view with the shot of his eye opening. Then the absolutely fantastic end...

Precisely, that's what I think too. When he told Hurley that he was stuck on the island, that just meant that he has not worked it all out yet or made penance for his sins. He was given a choice, a temptation and choose poorly. Until that penance is made and he is OK with it, he will not move on.

I LOVED IT - ALL OF IT!!!!! In one word WOW!!!!! This was one of the most religious shows I have ever seen on network TV. Not since the likes of A Charlie Brown Christmas has a story meant so much. I give major kudos to them for sticking with their guns and working their own beliefs into...

No, it was from an EW insider article. He said that later on, perhaps in the full box set there have been multiple endings to the show that have been shot, not just the official one. Therefore, from how it was said, they have clearly shot at least 3 different endings to the show that will...

I always thought the "sideways" timeline was the "real" timeline and that it connected with the time they spent on the island. The two seem to be connected for sure since all the O6 group can remember their time on the island if some sort of trauma or emotion triggers it. This is what Desmond...

Personally, I really liked this episode a lot and it did indeed answer many questions. So many that I was having to keep track of them all. I would've totally missed the Adam-n-Eve thing at the end had they not flashed back to the first season where they discovered their bones in the cave and...

Great story this week in EW (10 collectors covers in all) and also an insiders extra. "Both Cuse and Lindelof describe themselves as "men of faith". " They state the show is about FAITH and always has been. There should be no question about it now he states and is quite up front about his own...

WOW! 4 dead in just one episode. Frank, Jin, Sun and Sayid. It was an awesome episode that left few candidates standing in the end. Now, this sets up the end game for the final showdown between good vs evil. Interesting to see the previews for next week telling more about the Smoke Monster and...

We already have the answers to all those questions for the most part. The island was explained already, it's what contains the evil so it does not escape to the outside world. The conflict between Jacob and Smoke Monster has been explained too, in fact several times. They may add a bit more to...
