End of the Era

Hope is a funny thing. Sometimes when you think it's all dried out and long gone, you find a little more where you believed none existed. This final season of LOST has been surreal for me.

I finally remembered to come back and comment on your post. I'm so glad you gave us your thoughts on the finale. As usual, I agree with everything you have written. Like you, I felt so much relief during the cliff scene, it was actually hard to believe that I was finally seeing/hearing what I had wanted for so long! I had my doubts as to whether we would even get a definitive end to the triangle so when it happened it was surreal.

Your ideal ending is the same as mine. I hoped they would stay together on the island & live a long happy life together. I really had not prepared myself for such a sad, tragic ending which was extremely naive considering Lost has never been the happiest TV show. Even two months later my mind will wander to those final moments, and it's hard not to get teary eyed.

Even though I had my ups & downs with Lost, I'm truly grateful for the experience. That said, I hope I can avoid another obsession like this for awhile because Lost was also a very emotionally draining obsession. I'm also grateful that because of Lost I was able to connect with a few new people like you who understand what it's like to care so much about fictional characters and their relationships!
