Lost reference in Southpark?
Did not find the answer in the wiki, so turning to fellow redditors: I remember an episode of Southpark where someone surprisingly appearing out of the bushes matched the same plot device in Lost, including the "rattling" subnoscript. Was it a dream, a real memory, or just the island?

Alternate Ending Idea...
Before I say anything else: I love the ending and I don't think it needs to be corrected/fixed/changed.
However \- I sometimes think about how much I like the way that season 5 ended. The ambiguity of 'did they set off the bomb?' 'does the plane never land?' 'what does this mean for time paradox' all that stuff - I just sometime wonder if they had found a way to close a lot of the Jacob/MiB narrative before, what if they could have ended the entire series with the incident? Something like... They somehow combine Season 5 and 6 plot narratives to climax at the end of six, in which some characters are defeating MiB, while others are trying to prevent hte crash from ever happening, and then in the END MiB is defeated, but the bomb also goes off, so there's ambiguity as to whether any of that narrative ends up playing out in the first place?
I think about other shows' endings (I won't name them so as not to spoil anything) in which there were more ambiguous endings (a famous HBO anti-hero show comes to mind) and how much I liked them, AND how they were better received.
Again, I love how LOST has the pilot and End as thematic bookends and it all lines up really beautifully for me, but sometimes I think about my favorite shows and movies and about narrative choices, and I can't help but think out loud. I know how half-baked this is, but wondering if others have thought about this.
I'm going to be including some of this discussion over the coming seasons in The Millennial TV Podcast in my spoilery musings segment, the podcast is currently on Season 1.

Do the characters keep “existing” after the finale?
I’m specifically talking about the characters in the church. I am well aware that the ending of the show is deliberately ambiguous in terms of what happens to them after they move on, and I love it for that, but is the overall implication supposed to be that they do still “exist” in some form that is recognizable to them?
The show explored the idea that the consciousness is separate from the body, which makes me believe that it’s possible that they all still continue to experience things beyond the flash-sideways, just like they did within it. Also, Christian' words to Jack in the church makes it seem like they are all indeed going somewhere rather than just ceasing to exist.
If the light in the church is the light from the source, and the what of it all is that their inner light is rejoining with the source, what does that look like from their point of view? Do their consciousnesses remain intact? Do they still have the illusion of a tangible existence, just like in the flash-sideways? This is the direction I’m leaning and I don’t know if anyone else felt this way.

In The Constant, why was only Desmond affected?
Why wasn’t Sayid back in Iraq invading Kuwait? Why wasn’t Frank back in time flying a commercial airliner? They were on the helicopter too

“Don’t tell me what I can’t do.” 💔 My tribute song for John Locke
Hey everyone! 😊
I just finished something really close to my heart - a tribute song for John Locke, named "Don’t tell me what I can’t do". I wanted it to capture not just his story, but his tragedy - that mix of faith, pain, and quiet strength that made him such a powerful character.
Locke has always broken me in the best way… the belief, the loneliness, and how the island both saved and destroyed him. This song came from that place - fragile at first, then defiant.
If you ever felt something deep for his character, I think you might connect with it too.
