Ok, so I meant to answer this like a week ago, but then I got crazy busy with going back to work and such. Aye. BUT...
YAY!! We finally agree on something! I knew it had to happen eventually, XD
But yeah, I agree, the most important questions we needed answers for were about the characters, and we found out a lot else besides. The only real question I'd have liked answered was who built the statue and the temple, and when and why, exactly. And, who trapped the Man in Black in that house with the ring of ash, and lots of questions associated with that. (and that's interesting, the theory that she never gave him a name...everyone else I've talked to has assumed his name was just withheld from us to drive us crazy, but that'd be really interesting if he was never even given one! Hmm...) I mean, I'd like to know those things, but it absolutely wasn't necessary. I think most of us have been watching this show for so long mostly because of the deep, interesting characters. They mystery has been great, sure, but I think for the majority of the audience if it was just the mystique of it it'd have gotten old a long time ago.
I think purgatory's a nice thought in a way...a chance to sort of a few things out that you'd have liked to have gotten ironed out in your life. That's part of my theory on Jack and Juliet's son, too. I think for Jack, having a chance to be a father gave him the outlet he needed to work out the lingering issues from his fractured relationship with his own father. I think through making things start to work out with his own kid, he was able to get some closure on that whole mess.
Oh yes. Vincent should've totally been there. &hearts
This show really was just a work of art all to its own...I'm so glad to have been able to watch it nearly from the beginning. JJ Abrams is definitely a genius, and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. (I've never watching Alias or Felicity, but I'm thinking I need to add those to my 'to watch' list.)
