What a monumental waste of time. They can claim it would have made sense if they had
had time to complete it. But we know that is just a bunch of BS. They had nothing and they
rode it for 6 years. This statement is just a way for them to put off their horrible 'ending'
on the ABC suits. It was an entertaining show from time to time. But after 3 years, they were
competely lost and hoplessly in need of something that could fulfill everything they said in chat
rooms online was NOT TRUE. "NO, they are NOT dead." "No, this is NOT purgatory."
"No there is no blablabla (insert your BS here)". The reason it got so convoluted is they had
to keep ahead of online chat the whole time. By the time they had shot down every theory
on the internet, there was hardly anything left for it TO BE.

Looks like there's going to be a short epilogue showing Hurley in his role as the new "Jacob" included with the Complete Series DVD set.

Also, ABC elaborated on the final shots of the plane wreckage on the beach, saying:
"the images shown during the end credits of the Lost finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news.”

Yup...I watched it again last night with my kid, more and more makes sense now.

I've been rewatching the entire series on Netflix streaming from season 1.

Really enjoyed watching the series again now that I know the ending...highly recommended.

Anyone watch "New Man In Charge" yet? It's available from nefarious sources at the moment, and will be officially available with the Lost boxed set on Aug. 24th.

IMO, though it was short, it offered some answers to a couple questions that never mattered, but everyone always wondered about. I'm satisfied with it as the final end to the series, and look forward to picking up the blu-ray boxed set later this month.

Maybe Shepard refers to Christian...? What do you think?

Unlikely. The show was uncharacteristically heavy-handed in showing us that the names corresponded to persons whom Jacob had personally visited and touched (specifically, the scenes from The Incident episode). Jacob was never shown to have touched Christian Shephard.

Oh numbers, you just love to prey upon us

This is true, but Kate was not on the list and Jacob came to her. We'll see what happens with that...

Yes. The show showed us that Jacob touched people who were on the list. Kate shows us that the reverse implication is not true (i.e. Jacob only touches/influences those whose names are on the list).
