Lost Thoughts

I wrote this response to my friends blog and thought I would repost it here. I have really enjoyed watching lost these past 6 years. Here are some of my thoughts about the finale and the show.

Ok, this is what I got. The losties created the sideways world to meet before they moved on. It was hollow until they finished their learning experience on the Island. Then after they learned their lessons, they were ready to have enlightenment in sideways world and move on. Hurly was leader with Ben as second and I think that Ben has been given the Island protector roll next so he chooses not to go into "heaven" the church at the end. He may also be waiting for Alex and Rousseau and for his redemption process to be completed. I am not bothered that all the questions were not answered. I find I have better answers in my head. I loved all the religions represented at the end and the concept that all of the major ones value, faith, courage, love, sacrifice and trust and redemption. I love all the book references involved and the literary easter eggs in each episode. This show is on so many levels. I feel that this show is art in the sense that you bring to a painting, movie, music your own experiences, philosophies and faith. Art means something different to each of us. And what we take away from lost is largely what we bring to it. Anyway. I cried at the Charlie Claire reunion and my favorite character is Ben. He is amazing!
