The Final Commercial Episode...
Right?
That was a little irritating. The ending was pretty good. i have to admit that i wished the positive side had been real. i'm glad to see that they left the ending open ended, so that we can infer a good long "time" of Hurley and Ben on the Island (and possibly Jack who said that he would survive the wound).
Not sure if the end was Jack really dying or if it was symbolizing the end of the show. If he made it out of the cave it seems that he either was not able to die from that wound (as he said), and climbed his ass out (which i'm not sure how, with no rope), or he had the same "Smoke Monster" effect and was blasted out. In either event he wouldn't have actually been dying.
More thoughts later... still digesting. In any event, he was right and Desmond was right, just in different ways. The Island and all of that DID matter and were important, and yet what Desmond was seeing (Purgatory, Yetzirah, the Barzakh, et al), was the ultimate ending, so there was nothing to fear anyway (in dying or potentially dying in the physical world of the Island).
They were NOT dead all along on the Island. Please don't fall for that red herring. Too much on and off the Island business for that to have been the case. But the parallel waking up was actually just another "sphere" of where Time-Space was irrelevant. THUS, that is why Whitmore, Daniel and Elowise were there when they shouldn't have been on a bomb-blast time-line.
i was disappointed that the "other side" wasn't physics but metaphysics... but oh well. i liked the purgatory stuff on the season 6 time-line. The more i think about it, Jack definitely turned into a benevolent smoke monster and didn't die (until many, many years later).
More later, more later...
