Yeah, they totally pulled a Narnia here at the end, but I really liked it. The only big questions I had at the end was "but what about Walt?!" and...well, there was another one but I've forgotten it now because everything else was so cool.

I do think the island was "Eden" as in garden of, which is probably going to give you religious hives, but it's something that's been worrying me.

When the final scenes were happening, and I saw Jack offering the "job" to Hurley, and Ben there, I really started thinking Ben would be the new Smokey, and I so did NOT WANT that now, and not just for Hurley's sake, but also for Ben's.

Also...yes, the fact that limbo/purgatory ended up being the flash sideways world when they kept insisting no the island wasn't purgatory and the plane crash didn't kill me totally cracked me up. Oh you twisted writers.

At least they kept their promise about Vincent.

I'm sure I have a million of them, but they're still mostly not surfacing. :)

Eh, the whole afterlife thing is in more danger of giving me religious hives, really. But the whole thing's fantasy, anyway. It's very mystical and symbolic and stuff, and ultimately it's just a TV show, so whatever. :) And I dunno, the Garden of Eden might be one of the things it is, in its mystical, symbolic way, but I think I'm happy with not pinning it down too far.

It crossed my mind for a moment, too. But Ben really has had quite a character arc this season, and I don't think, deep down, that I ever ( ... )

Back when Season 6 was premiering, the writers gave one spoiler, that Vincent would survive the finale. (Naveem Andrews joked that the end would be the dog getting rescued and everyone else dead on the island buried on Boot hill).

It's always nice when the dog lives. And I guess Andrews wasn't actually that far wrong. :)
