I got up at 6:15 in the morning to see the long-awaited finale of Lost, and I must say that it gave me a bittersweet feeling, but more sour than sweet. A lot more. I am still not very clear about how the final chapter should be focused, which, by the way, has been left without that extra half hour that they had talked so much about, and I think that if something will define what many people feel today it will be one thing: disappointment.
Last year when they aired the last episode of Battlestar Galactica I was excited, it was an extraordinary episode that put an end to a series in a mystical way, but that fit perfectly with the rest of the series and ultimately more than met the expectations of a great series. The bar was very high, and with great regret, Lost has not surpassed it.
First of all, talk a little about the broadcast of the episode on Cuatro, which has not been far from perfect. There have been errors in the subtitles, something acceptable considering that they broadcast the episode half an hour behind the US and they were doing them on the fly. It is understandable to get confused when entering a number for the wrong second and to get out of sync. What is less acceptable is that 5 minutes of the chapter have been loaded and with it part of the connection, although from what the impression gave, they were just scenes that were unimportant.
But letās talk about the final conclusion. In the end the scriptwriters have opted for one of the first theories that appeared on the Internet: all dead and in āpurgatoryā. No comments. An easy option. I imagine that Jackās fatherās body was not inside the coffin because he had died off the island and did not have to go through purgatory.
Wasnāt Lapidus supposed to have died in the submarine? Why did he appear so cheerful and no one was surprised to see him appear? Why did Kate have the black dress when she entered the church and inside she had other clothes?
What was the meaning of chapter 15, which tells of Jacobās childhood? Who is Jacob and who is Black Smoke? What was up with Widmore? How were they supposed to leave and enter the island if they were dead? Were the rest of the passengers on the plane bad people and thatās why they didnāt show up at the church at the end?
What did Eloise Hawking paint and what did it have to do with the whole story that Desmond was able to withstand electromagnetism? Why did he know everything that was happening? And Walt? Does anyone remember Walt and his ability to kill birds with a wink?
And the statue? Time travel? The arrows that kill half the passengers on the island? The Dharma Initiative?
In short, I think that many fronts have been left open in history, fronts that I had hoped would be closed after so many explanations. I think Iām going to let the series rest for a bit and discuss it with other people to see if by putting together several brains we can draw some conclusion.
