| 38. I was hoping for an ending something like this..... |
|
They defeat the smoke monster, engage some device on the island (like that plug Desmond yanked out) that resets time back to when they were on the original Oceanic flight and they're put back on the flight, the island sinks to the bottom of the ocean (where we saw it in Episode 1 this season)
Then, as the passengers continue their lives in the new timeline, as they meet each other and touch hands or hug or whatever, they start coming to the realization that they WERE on the island and DID defeat the evil and won their lives back. Leave it with an open ending of them moving on in their normal lives...all of them finding peace and redemption for things they've done or left undone.
This whole purgatory, moving on to heaven thing just went over like a lead zeppelin, to me.

"It worked" referred to the vending machine - turning it off then on again in the hospital. |
