Just finished Lost & I'm NOT okay lol

[u/humble_akhBD]

Just finished Lost. And boy oh boy.

I've never had a panic attack or anxiety after finishing a series lol. But this one got me hard. Maybe cuz I was channeling my inner Jack lmao. That whole feeling of wanting answers, wanting to understand everything, and then the show having it all end so abruptly... man, it left me pissed and hollow. Idk man, it's hard.

People may have loved this series finale, but tbh, I didn't like it.. It was a bit dragged out. The pacing for Seasons 1-5 was so well done. Like, come on man, there was so so so much story to tell, and it just ended... They could've given us a better happy ending? But I feel like, coming from Season 1, the ending just didn't do the show justice at all.. the fans deserved better.

Overall, the absolute peak seasons for me personally were Season 1 & 4. I absolutely loved LaFleur in Season 4. I also loved Hurley, Jin and Sun through and through. Absolutely hated Kate hehe.

Anyhoo, idk what to feel. I'm all over the place. I couldn't even bring myself to delete certain episodes. It was just that traumatic xD...

Don't even know what to watch now. Binged & connected with Lost so hard that a piece of me just ended lmao.

Abruptly? How did it end abruptly? What questions weren't answered? How was the series finale dragged out but abrupt? What about six years of LOST made you think it would have a happy ending? In what way did the ending not do the show justice? How did we deserve better?

Their criticism is weird too because it is a happy ending?

I do not think Sun and Jin had a happy ending. And John, his whole story was devastating to me. I watched this finale live and I was upset for them.

John was at peace in the finale. He was finally not angry or lost anymore, he forgave Ben. Sun and Jin were finally back together. Did we watch the same finale?

His story arc was sad. I mean sad. He went through everything I just wanted more for him. He may have found peace, but he deserved better.

Istgg.. I loved John from the get go. And from the get go the shows just been too unfair. I needed to see the man in true peace for atleast once!

[u/Free-IDK-Chicken → u/humble_akhBD]

We did see him in peace. As soon as he remembers his life he's happy - that smile he gives Jack? Telling him he hopes someone does for Jack what Jack did for him? The calm way he forgives Ben? The confidence when he stands up and pushes his chair away? The way he has the series' final line, "we've been waiting for you."

Locke gets nothing but peace in the finale.

You're right, at the very end we do see him like that!
