Lost’s Series Finale was Epic!
*I’m only speaking as a very big fan of Lost, not a critic*
With all those flashbacks, I can’t help crying again for the second time – first time was when Sun and Jin died in the submarine. It has been fun, suspenseful and simply.. epic. All these years of figuring and hammering out explanations.. I just enjoyed it enormously. All those questions, all those thoughts.. just seems irrelevant at this point. I feel like it does not matter anymore. But what does matter.. is letting go.
Lost is one of the best show ever and this finale was no exception to this shows perfection. It was a devastating epic and had the best emotional punch of anything I ever watched! It was full of amazing acting, a great plot. The final showdown of Jack vs. Locke lived up to expectations and was just as well done as it was exciting. It was nice to see all of the characters that made the show such a phenomenal at the end altogether. It saddens me knowing that I will most likely never love a show as much as I love Lost but I’m glad that I got to experience something as epic as this show.
I love how open the mystery still is.. I was worried that the explanations would be silly or ridiculous, but this really gave the story gravity and the ability to spawn much more thought and exploration in themes for years to come.. a beautiful conclusion.
This show was about people who were “Lost” not on an island full of answers that demanded mysteries, but lost from the people they needed to be completed.
It has been great 6 years to experience what I call a masterpiece. This episode was symbolic and character-driven instead of answering questions as some expect it to. The real question is, “Why do we need answers?” There is no need to question everything in Lost, and I draw a comparison to life. The island is not much more bizarre than life. Life is a mystery and we are all lost in this life of ours. There are some things that happened because it happened, and we assume it’s true. Call it ignorance, but that’s what made this episode so blissful in a peaceful way.
The finale unraveled a story so complex, more analyzed than any other show on television, to the core of what it’s been since September 22, 2004, a story of two simple concepts what it means to be lost in this world and what it means to be found.
It was never about searching for the truth about the island. It was about the characters and their journey to personal enlightenment.
I will surely miss Lost. :)
