Emotionally I thought the finale was brilliant. It made me choke up a few times. At the end though when I still had 11bill questions about it I was pretty disappointed.

Who made the statue?
Why did pregnant women die on the island? Why didn't they die in the 70's?
Who found the island originally? Who put the cork in "the heart?"
What is the origin of the island?

etc etc etc

Where did the numbers originally come from?

I know they're from the island but why broadcast those numbers?

Agreed on the statue.

How could entering the numbers and pushing a button relieve built up electromagnetic energy?

How'd that work before they installed the comodore 64 with the magic button?
Why can Desmond survive it and nobody else can?

I'm wondering if they all didn't die when Juliet set off the H bomb. The two resulting timelines weren't happening in parallel. The real world time line happened after the island timeline.

Thoughts?

Or even better, the real world timeline was actually the afterlife.

Jack was the last (that we know of for sure) to die on the island. He was also the last to "remember" his life there. Didn't Kate tell him they were all waiting for him inside [the church]?

jack wasn't the last to die on the island. we saw him die in the bamboo forest while hurley, ben, rose, and bernard stuck around for an undetermined amount of time.

i don't recall them being shown, but we didn't see them leave the island.

if you take the church scene at face value, hurley tells ben he was a great number 2 (to his number 1), implying that they spent some time on the island after jack died.

I was Lost when the fat guy never seemed to lose weight.

Must have had a hidden stash of Oreo's somewhere on the island.
I like a drink. You know when people say 'I like a drink as much as the next man'? Not if I'm the next man, you don't.

they were only on the island (the first time) for about 4 months... how long do you think it would take for him to lose a "noticeable" amount of weight?

well the out here is that we don't know when jack died in relation to any of them. Christian said some of them died before him, some after.

christian said the people in the altiverse died before or after, not on the island.

assuming the island was real and the altiverse was purgatory (or bardo, or whatever), jack died after re-corking the island.

Right (sort of). Reread my last post.

What I was getting at is just because (ben for example) ben is already at the church (dead) before jack gets there doesn't mean he actually died before jack did.

At least that's how I'm currently interpreting it.
