About Lost: My take on the series finale




Even 4 hours after the series finale I'm still kind of confused and not really sure what to think of all this. I'm gonna try the best I can anyway.

Lost is about a Constant. A constant that keeps people moving towards their goal in life and allows them to achieve it. Since Day 1, the constant has always been the bond that unite every characters together. Every time they were separated, hell break loose. Since the producers of the show dig philosophy, I guess the metaphor is you need to be always surrounded by the loves one on bad and good times in life to make it through. The island is where they got that. And apparently you need to find your constant while your alive as well as while your dead. So the alternate universe was really.. an alternate universe. A universe à la Sixth Sense the difference being everbody is dead there. They are just living some alternate life based on artifacts from the life they had in the island. In Episode 1 we see the island under water, which doesn't mean it has finally drowned, just mean that it's not a part of the alternate universe. But at the same time Hugo congratulated Ben because he was a fantastatic number 2 at the end of the finale. Which mean that either he passed the torch to somebody else or the island is really gone in both world...
So my take is yes he passed the torch to somebody else and that somebody is Desmond. Desmond is now the chief in command of the island and the one who is supposed to get people reunite together to form that constant again ( with the help of Hugo !! ) the past This is what he did in the alternate universe and exactly what Jacob did before him. So we may have to think that the universe of the island is also alternate and people go there to fill the void they had in their original life. The first time Jack opens his eyes correspond to the beginning of another life for him. It seems at the end there is no survivor of Oceanic 815. This island is kind of judgement day where you need to find answers about your destiny and what you missed in your past life. Once you understand that you are able to go to the last stage ( the alternate universe ) where you need to find that constant again before letting it go. Daniel Faraday didn't get to that constant yet and that's why his mother asked Desmond to not take him.
Just to make a little regilious parallel, since it's hard not make one, the island Gatekeeper will be compared to Jesus sent on earth to forgive the sins of mankind. God itself will be Charles Windmore, the Gran Architect of all this.. ( i have still some toughts to dig about that thought )
to be continued ..
