For endings, as it is known, are where we begin

[alliecat8]

So it left behind some questions. I don't care. So it wasn't the ending I expected. I don't care. So I don't understand it all. I don't care.

It was my show and I loved it and that's all I care about. I loved it.

And in the end Jack learned to let go. Maybe, if he can do it, I can too.

Perfectly said. It was not the ending I would have thought or chosen but it wonderful and I loved it for years and I love it now.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *hugs* It's a miracle I could say anything at that point, but I let my heart speak for me.

I LOVED IT!

Caps totally warranted in this instance! Yes, I agree that there were some questions (and some people) I would have liked to see, but the important thing was that I didn't sit here watching the episode thinking about what wasn't being answered, I was totally absorbed in the ending.

Love how the Sideways stuff played out and I'm with you, the rest: I don't care about!

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

The more I think about it, the more answers I find. But I also find that I don't need them. Lost was about the people, and how they had to "live together or die alone." That's what made it perfect. In the end, they were together.

We'll be okay.

Won't we?

(just peel me off you when we're done)

Keep holding on, I'll be there in a minute!!!!!

After this episode, I certainly learned to let go. And fast. Hated it. Absolutely hated it. Cheesy, sappy, predictable. And, you know how much of a Sawyerista I am, was he even in this episode? Doing anything but run and stand around while every other character got meaningful moments? I think not.

I now love the fandom more.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I saw that you hated it. I'm sorry. I hope the fandom will keep you around, 'cause you know I ♥ you no matter what!

Vincent laying with Jack.... that killed me. Totally the moment that won me over.

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

GAH. I know, right? I was already sobbing but that just pushed me over the edge.

I LOVED IT! It's so cool how the island wasn't the point, and they could totally set something else there and not lose any of the awesomeness of this show!

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you loved it! And yes, in the end it was about the people. They've moved on but the island will always live in our imagination. And just like the paper dolls or Barbie dolls or whatever we secretly dug out when we thought we were through with them just to play one more time, we can bring our people back any time we want. Or we can speculate about what's next for them. Maybe they've moved on to be a part of a carnival, where Jack is a snake oil salesman. ;D It's all still there, just waiting for us if we ever want it. ♥

I loved it. They could have really messed it up, but...
damn. I'm tearing up right now.

The plane at the end. Fuck.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

The plane at the end...Jack knowing that some of them got away...and he made that possible. He died knowing that he was a hero after all...in so many ways. But...he died. *dissolves into a great big puddle again*

*clings as well*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

OH, what will we do without him? Them, I mean. Him. Both hims. Our SHOW? At least we have each other. ♥

[adeline.livejournal.com]

The more I understand it, the more I love it.

And I love that there's all these loose threads left, because life is like that and at the end of the day, all that really matters is the people and what they've meant to you.

All we need to survive in this world is one person who truly loves us.

I want a love like on Lost. Some epic, epic stuff.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

The more I understand it, the more I love it.

Yes, my brain had to work on it overnight in my sleep, then I had to watch it again this morning, and now I think I understand everything I wanted to. Everything else will get woven into the tapestry someday, in some world where our characters live now. And they became so real to me over 6 years that I can almost believe that world exists.

[invisiblelove.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY agreed. It was and still is my very favorite show of all time. I think it's the only show I've ever watched from the very beginning. And I loved it all the way through. GUH. <33

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

It is the only show I've ever watched from beginning to end, it was my first fandom, and Jack and Sawyer were my first OTP. Even when I'm old I'll look back on them and smile fondly. And maybe have a dirty thought or two. ;)

[valhalla37.livejournal.com]

I fully agree -- didn't expect it and didn't understand it and still have some questions, but man, was it incredible.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

It moved us, and that's what good finales do. We can save the dissecting for later, but for now we know that it wrenched and soothed and shattered and made our hearts soar. That was enough.

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

*points to icon.*

*cries*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Are you still crying?

If you figure out how to stop, will you tell me?

*clings*

[indes-elfwine.livejournal.com]

*Hugs*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

*CLINGS*

At least we know our fandom is the BEST, and we'll get each other through this.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

I got several somethings in my eye, several times. Yeah.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

That's the ticket.

*clings* I'm just barely starting to pull myself together AND I FINISHED WATCHING ONE HOUR AGO. ;___________________; word. Word. Word.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I may never pull myself together again. I went out to a birthday dinner for my 23-year-old son with his girlfriend and my daughter and husband, and I found myself only able to speak in Lost quotes. Most notable, "I've been through a TRAUMA here!" Thank God my son's girlfriend's brain operates on the same wavelength as mine and, even though she's never watched the show, she called for a moment of silence, asked us all to bow our heads, and (knowing nothing about what had happened but making an educated guess) said, "He died too soon." At which point tears started spilling down my cheeks, but I was able to whisper "amen" and move on, past Lost and on to my son's birthday.

I think we'll live through this. All we need is each other.

[joyyjpg.livejournal.com]

AMEN. It wasn't what I was expecting and there were a few holes, but I so do not care. It was epic and moving and I loved it so, so much.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I'm slowly filling in the holes. Of course there will always be a few, but we never asked for perfection. We just asked to be moved by this group of people, and we were. Your icon says it all.

[ella-bee.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie, I have so much to say to you, but right now, just yes. This.

{{hugs}}

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I think I said something coherent in your journal, didn't I? If not, I apologize for whatever incoherency I wrote, and I know you understand. We will recover, and then we will talk. ♥

[diandrahollman.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. *cries* *hugs you*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Thank you, love. *HUGS YOU BACK LIEK WHOA*

[ellel.livejournal.com]

BEST FINALE I COULD HOPE FOR.I am still a mes...

*lots of hugs*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad we were a part of it together, even across so much land and sea. I ♥ you as if you were with me through every heart-wrenching minute. *clings*

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

It was the ending I expected, I didn't get the answer I thought we would about the island, but honestly I don't care either, I'm a sap for reunions, for people being lonely but finding others and finally feeling they belong and have someone.

so yes, believe me, I liked it. :)

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

The island ceased to be a character in the finale, somehow, for me. That's the most surprising thing of all. In the end, it was about our people, and now I'm crying again, so I'll just *hug* you and say I'm glad we took this ride together.
