I think all the flashbacks and flashforwards were real. So, yes, meeting in the stadium was real

One theory I have heard is that only the babies of the Dharma Initiative and the Others die because Jacob was punishing them for being "bad" like his mother convinced him they were. Like a plague of some kind. But, obviously babies live on the island. Alex was born there as well as Jacob and his brother

If I read this as a book, I would catch it on fire at the end. And then go write terrible reviews of it everywhere I could.

I think what I've learned - based off your answers to my questions and what I've read elsewhere - is that everyone did take away from this what they wanted to. If you wanted to like it, you do. If you were expecting the writers to do a job and explain anything, you hate it. I don't even mind that they all ended up being dead and singling kumbaya together in a church while filing towards the white light (hello, Patrick Swayze in "Ghost") but it's the fact that it didn't have anything to do with the show. In my opinion, anyway. Lee was right - if you're going to start a show like you should be taking Science notes, then it had better end like a fucking Steven Hawking book full of explanation.

And also, it didn't seem to me that Eloise had a say on where Daniel went. She was scared when she asked Desmond if he was taking her son.

You make good points, but there is the issue that Ethan was a Dharma baby, born on the island...

Locke: Ok, so he died and Jack went to see him at the funeral home in LA. Then they took dead Locke back to the island. Then Locke wasn't dead. Then they killed Locke again. Then Smoke monster took his face. I want to know how Locke died twice before, and why if you die at one point in time but not the past, why do you not already exist in your little special Purgatory with Friends world. I can't believe Ben or Locke would've been invited to find one everyone there. lol

As she said, Locke died in the hotel room.

His body was taken to the island, allowing Smokey to assume his identity and get Ben to kill Jacob.

Then Smokey, as Locke, was killed.

I do not remember Locke dying twice.

[aquariumspast]

It occurs to me that you might be thinking of Locke talking to Ben after the return to the island when Ben wakes up and says, "You're alive!" and Locke says, "Yes, I am..." That was Smokey as Locke messing with Ben (and the writers with us)...

Yes! Ok. I was VERY confused!
