Frustration aside, with the random plot gaps, if you start with season one and watch the show completely through, it’s a character piece. The questions made you come back for more, but the in-depth stories and the connections with the characters is what made the show enjoyable and memorable. You have to apprieciate it for what is was, otherwise the lingering questions will just make you angry.

On Jimmy Kimmel, Matthew Fox said that the island was all really happening - not is some afterlife space but rather as some sort of analog to the tests and trails of life to determine if one can break the cycle of samsara and attain nirvana. I guess. But that is totally incongruous with the Sixth Sense ending the writers proposed. Nonetheless, here is a full-blown explanation from an actual writer of the show who can now break his silence about what their intentions were. Interesting to see how close some of my suppositions were, and also, what else they were aiming for: http://www.spoilertv.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=19342&start=0

Charles Whitmore searching for Penny and Penny searching for Desmond – OK this I can reconcile – he loved them so much he didnt want to let them go. But of course, he must also be dead. So he was just looking for them in the afterlife. What is the afterlife equivalent of a billionaire? How does one become so wealthy in afterlife currency?

Desmond and his special abilities – yes, I’m listening.

Which brings me to Hurley and his special abilities – he was listening, ghost whispering, lingering on and ultimately became the next Jacob – ?

What was the point of Jin going back to 1974? Did he have some sort of past to reconcile there?

So Dharma initiative were some sort of past life regression researchers or Flatliners or summat? Who are the Others in the mythology?

On Kimmel, Matthew Fox agreed that the island was real life – not the afterlife and that it was a test to see if one could, I suppose, break the cycle of reincarnation and attain Nirvana. OK – so what is the deal with babies and Aaron. Was Aaron being tested too?

Give me some more – what are storylines that utterly fail to connect to the final reveal?

Thanks for posting this.
Especially the video of J.J Abrams, very insightful.
The concept and the content of the show and the “investment in character” was incomparable and impeccably woven.
The theological symbolism tied in very nicely.
I enjoyed every single episode.

Thank you very much for your comment Danielle. I think you have eloquently rephrased the essence of my feeling about the show and final episode. You can only imagine my chagrin when people would drum up conversations about Mary Magdalene after Da Vinci Code came out. This is just another round.

Again, entertainment is a very good thing indeed, so long as in cases like these it is not mistaken for anything else.
