You did it, the summofffabich actually did it!!!!

When Kate said: I've waited so long for you. It was because she made it off the island and lived an entire life without Jack. She waited decades to live and die to see him again. It was probably my favorite part of the finale.

jacks arc was just amazing. His Death always brings me to tears, but more tears of happiness as he completed his purpose.

I know a lot were disappointed but I’m not ashamed to say I cried at the end. I thought it was a beautiful and hopeful ending. Some of reunions really made me sob.

Lost is so missunderstood. It holds a soft spot in my heart.

As someone who just finished watching the series for the first time a couple months ago it's awesome to see it's still relevant today.

I always saw the sideways as a waiting room until presumably Hurley died so they could all move on together. They all died at different times.

This show inspired me to write my first novel. Took me a few years but it's finally done.

[dawnowar]

I was soo deep in this show and i still get mad when people say they were dead the whole time. 😅

Oh, dang. This is the video that I didn't know I needed. My feeling of closure is immense!

The line when Jack's father says you built this place to help you all 'remember' is one of the most powerful pieces of writing I've come across in media, because it teaches through our current version of storytelling what many spiritual books and teachers have talked about since we first asked the question 'why are we here?'.

Every spiritual teaching I've come across in some way talks about the purpose of life being to remember who or what you really are.

If we are to believe we are all spirit having a human experience, which at birth requires us to 'forget' who are so we can truly live the experience of being human, that to me is the best explanation for existence I've come across.

Lost ultimately left us with this message. They all came together, lived, loved, lost, fully experienced physical existence, eventually all died at different times and places, then moved on, remembering what they really are.

This moment of remembering at death must be truly incredible. To finally know what you might feel or intuit in life, that stories like Lost allude to, would be the most wonderful experience of them all.

I for one like to look at death this way, it makes it seem like an amazing transition and expansion of awareness.

Ryan I need to thank you for making this video. You had me thinking about LOST again, when it was mentioned in the recent ACOLYTE you made, and how that show affected my life and my friends lives and is pretty much responsible for my kids existing. I had a group of 20 to 30 friends who would get together weekly for each new episode of LOST and we did this for 4 years. Anyway I personally really liked the ending of the show even if half the people in my group didn't. They mostly wanted answers to everything and I would always say that it is the journey not the destination that matters and that any answers they got probably wouldn't be as good as they answers we came up with together in our heads. The producers even released that deleted scene with Hurly, Mike, and Walt visiting the Dharma station in the real world saying something similar about getting answers. I really hope everyone who had a problem with LOSTs ending watches your video cause it will definitely help them understand better.

THANK YOU. Finally someone else thinks the same as me. And can understand that the ending WASN'T catastrophic. Kudos to the writer of this video.

[TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie]

Ohh I'm excited about this. My most favourite show of all time. I've watched it countless times and each time I've discovered something new. The story is just brilliant and fit people who say they don't get it .. they really need to watch it more closely.
I remember when it first aired and the absolute insanity and hype it generated! Each week the theories and speculations. It was such a fun time. Some of the character deaths still hurt me deep till this day. 💔
What a show

[sethwilliams]

This makes me want to rewatch the whole thing over again too! I still hold LOST in my Top 10 TV Series of all time.

[rainesbobo]

I got EXACTLY what the ending was saying the first time that it aired when I watched it. In the last 14 years I’ve argued with so many people about what the ending was that just don’t get it, so thank you for explaining it correctly finally! Also, the showrunners have said that this is ultimately JACK's story. That is why some of the mysteries didn't get answered because they were not relevant to his story.

[deadpatronus]

OMG FROM HOTD TO ACOLYTE TO A LOST VID ON SCREENCRUSH?!?!?! I FUCKING LOVE LOST. THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE LOVE!!!

[robertbaldwin]

To me, as a life long LOST apologist and lover, I humbly submit, that the line of the theme of the show, really comes down to the line. " if we can't live together....then we will die alone" from S1 EP5 (the White Rabbit) which quite frankly speaking, is a sentiment we could use right now.

[dyva]

I didn't understand why so many people hated the ending to Lost. I thought it was one of the most beautiful series endings. I rewatch every so often.

[troubleondemand]

Never smashed the thumbs up so fast! Best network TV show of all time. It changed the game and so many shows were later inspired by it. Happy to see it start getting the recognition it deserves. There's a 20th anniversary documentary on the way too!
