Nothing..is irreversable
Okay, so this week has been kinda overwhelming for me. Lost is over. And before you say "It's just a TV show" ... WATCH IT AND THEN SPEAK AGAIN. :P
But anyway, I'm planning on a huge rewatch this summer and, again after that and then again..and again. So yeah, I'll never really be over it.
More of my detailed thoughts belowww.
Also I've iconed a bit of the finale but I'm waaay far from done, I've only done a fraction of the Jate scenes, so I'll keep icon-ing them. So yeah, Jack and Kate. AODIGNROGBRWHOINGOIJKS.Finally. 6 years of rooting for them, and I can say that it's been worth every second.
Anyway, also a bunch of icons below

Thoughts on the Lost Series Finale .. well more like rambles
I knew it would be sad when Lost ended, but HOW sad, how hard it would be to let go of it? I had no idea. Yes I'm aware that I sound like a crazy girl now :P but seriously, if you don't watch it I would really recommend getting your hands on those six seasons, because it truly is an experience like no other. It's all that's been on my mind for the past few days - yes I know that some people are complaining about not getting "answers", but that was not what Lost was about. If they sat there the whole finale spewing out answers to all the questions, would it have been even a fraction as satisfying as it was? NO. Lost has always excelled at weaving this complex mythology that kept people intrigued, and yes while there are a few things that I wish were cleared up (but I think that's what the extra footage on the DVD is) what I wanted closure on most was the CHARACTERS. At it's core, it is about characters. And I cannot think of a more beautiful way they could have brought all the characters to peace.
I could really go on about this forever, so I'll try to make this more focussed by picking out my favourite bits
- Charlie/Claire reunion. I've always adored this couple, but gave up on hoping for any kind of happy ending for them back when..well..Charlie died. But their scenes were just BEAUTIFUL .. right from the "staring across a crowded room" moment where Charlie just stares at Claire like she's the most amazing creature he's laid his eyes on, while Claire is looking around confuzzled, to the actual remembrance. Yes, tears were streaming down my face when they kissed, and Charlie cried and they looked like the perfect family with little goo-covered Aaron.
- Locke forgiving Ben. There was something so incredibley powerful about this scene; I've never been a huge Locke fan, but the fact that he was able to forgive Ben showed what an inherently good man (and maybe a bit too forgiving?the guy killed you after all) he was.
- Sawyer/Juliet reunion: CUTENESS. I LOVED their little banter by the vending machine, Sawyer was totes already blushing looking at her. Then thir gradual realisation from "buy me a coffee" "but the machine ate my last dollar" to "you can kiss me James!", These two have such amazing chemistry together and that is really credible considering they had to sell this relationship over a span of only a few episodes, and they NAILED it.
-Jack. Just Jack in general, I love him. I always have, but I didn't realise exactly how attached to him I'd become..until the end *sob*. He was just beyond awesome and kicked frikking ass right till the last second. HE IS THE HERO. The most epic hero EVER.Suck at that haters :P
- Kate: I know she's garnered alot of hate over time, and that's always hurt me considering that she's my favourite character, so I could totally make out with the writers now for giving her the redemption she so badly needed in the eyes of some people. How AWESOME was she? Total bad ass super!Kate was back. Crazily shooting at MIB and then finally killing him "I saved a bullet". PWND.
- Jack&Kate: honestly, I hold my hands up and say that I am utterly and hopelessly biased, but their relationship was for me the BEST part of the whole episode, and really the whole show. They are the first TV couple I have ever got invested in and to this date, though I ship lots, nothing has ever come close to Jate, and the finale only further proved that nothing will. 6 YEARS. 6 FRIKKING YEARS I waited. And the pay off was sweeter than I imagined. They got the tragic ending, but at the same time they got happily after in eternity. What more could you ask for? They are the definition of EPIC. And seriouslyHOWFKINGAMZING were their ILYs and kiss? It's officially my favourite kiss in the history of kisses. I could go on gushing about them but really no words will do them justice so I'll stop.
- The last scene: to know that they had planned this since the beginning just makes me love it even more. I was already bawling all over my carpet and then they had to bring Vincent. VINCENT?REALLY? After that I couldn't take it anymore, that was just the saddest thing I've ever seen. The whole scene was just beautiful genius. The intercutting between Jack stumbling through the forest and him being at peace in the church was just perfection. Though dammit, I really want to see those cute Jate scenes but I can't because that means I have to sit through the Jack d..d.. I can't even write it. And once again, I love you Jack.
Those are my initial thoughts, but I'll end this with some lyrics from a (totally awesome btw) Lost rap, and seriously I've never cried so much at a rap. Yes .. a RAP SONG.
It's a TV show but it feels like losing a friend,
Life goes on,
But I'll never be Lost again
Oh and my attempt at paying tribute to Jate;
