I just finished as a first time watcher.
The ending had me bawling my eyes out. I waited weeks to watch the finale because everyone told me i would hate it. But I actually loved it. It gave so much closure to everyone after all the pain. And the idea that Hugo and Benjamin looked over the island for a long time made me weirdly happy. Ben got what he wanted, even after all he'd done. All he wanted was to be special and be in the inside group, be the right hand man. When Jack died in the forest I was completely breaking down by then lol. I think the point a lot of people I know missed is that no, they weren't dead the whole show. At least not how I interpreted it. All of that really happened. They were just able to come back together in death. I guess the one thing I was confused about after everything is Kate telling Jack he doesn't have a son. Is that just because he wasn't around his son and never brought him up to the group? Because his son seemed pretty real at the end when he was able to get more closure and be supportive. Such a happy ending. Now I have no idea what to watch next. But anyways. Beautiful ending. I'm kinda upset I let myself be scared away by others opinions. I will say I always thought it should have been Hugo. Out of everyone he was truly the most innocent imo. But I found that I was happy for Jack originally when it was given to him. The fact that he sacrificed himself redeemed any bad qualities in the end. Wow just so much on my mind haha. How did you guys interpret the ending?

I HAD TO GO BACK!!! I HAD TO GO BACK....KATE
I believe it's my fault.
I know that.
Having watched Lost episode by episode as it aired from the pilot to the last episode it was, in the end, all my fault.
I spent hours between episodes on forums discussing theories and perhaps spending far to long wondering pointless things regarding the show.
Even as my friends started to jump ship from the show I still believed.
And I think that's why I hated the finale when it aired. I'd built up all these ideas (some my own - some others I'd read online) and I don't think any ending would have satisfied me.
I felt I'd wasted my time.
As the years went by I didn't trust another show.
Eventually Breaking Bad gained my trust - and in my view ended perfect.
......a few months ago I decided to rematch Lost. Mainly spurred on by this forum. I wanted to rewatch scenes that I enjoyed, and revisit the characters I'd fallen in love with.
And then I got to season 6.
And.....for most part I enjoyed.
I got to the ending....and...I felt....bet...er....about it.
I think more than anything I enjoyed the ride, as opposed to the destination.
I had no issues with understanding the ending.
I think....I think I...I just don't think ANY ending or outcome would have satisfied me.
....what was the point of this post?
Oh yeah!
I wanted to say thank you to you all.
The enthusiasm on this sub made me go '....im gonna give it another go.'
And?
I feel at peace now.
So. Thanks.

so thats it...
What an ending! Heard for a long time that every was dead the whole time and glad that wasn't the case. Seems like Hugo and Ben did a good job running the ship and glad some characters got a happy ending! Anyone have anything I may have missed on my watch to go back and look for?

Who among the Others have the privilege to get off the island
Was watching the episode "Meet Kevin Johnson" where in response to Michael surprise that The Others could go back and forth between the island and outside world at will, Tom Friendly mentioned that only "some of them" could do that.
So which members of The Others exactly? It is obviously a major privilege reserved to the inner circle only so that people like Juliet don't escape and not come back. We have seen that Richard Ben Ethan (and previously Widmore) would leave the island on a quite regular basis. Tom occasionally. So who else? I imagine Beatrice and Prickett as well as they were part of the others leadership as well. What about Goodwin? He seemed eager to prove his worth including in dangerous infiltration mission that ended up getting him killed.
Mikhail perhaps? Anyone from the Temple lol not like they would ever want to leave the island anyway.
