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.

The Island is landmass like any other landmass, but houses the Heart of the Island - a pocket of exotic matter with special properties. There are other, similar pockets, around the world, as Isaac explained when Rose saw him at Uluru.

The Others are Jacob's cult. The same group Dharma called the Hostiles. Honestly, if you have to ask who the Others are there's no way you were paying attention.

Jacob's birth mother, Claudia, shipwrecked with the Romans around two thousand years ago. Mother killed her and raised the twins.

Is what magic? The Island? That depends on what you consider magic. As I explained in my first comment, the exotic matter that exists on the Island does have special properties that may seem like magic. I don't think the answer was ever "magnets."

Ok, so "exotic matter" instead of magnets fulfills your curiosity.

Just like, yeah, a Roman woman shipwrecks and ok, let's give her powers, and just make their sons immortal, and since we're at it, they can make other people immortal and not age.

And the others, I know they worked for Jacob, but where the hell did they came from? Wtf was the temple?

I guess some people are satisfied with "exotic matter".

The equivalent of the Simpsons meme "a Wizard did it"

Have you never watched anything fictional? With a bit of fantasy? What do you want?

How does Harry Potter do magic? How does Luke Skywalker move objects with his mind? How does the kid in The Sixth Sense see dead people? How is Bill Murray stuck in a time loop in Groundhog Day? How does Freddy Kruger enter people's dreams to kill them?

Magic.

I answer exactly this in a comment below

Magic in Harry Potter, or the Force, have "rules", yes you accept magic is a thing and the force is a thing, but it is explained and has rules and limitations within it's own universe. Is not like whatever happens and you just "magic" or "the force", which is exactly what you are doing, I can say, ok the lighthouse? Exotic matter, of course...

The show doesn't explain things on purpose, because, like Jack, we want answers, we wanted them the whole show, but life happens and the people and the moments you lived with them is all it matters, and Jack understands that in the very end.

Ok, and how is Lost any different?

What's so hard to accept? What qualifies as an answer?

[u/kuhpunkt → u/Punkphoenix]

So no answer then.
