Right then, the 'Lost' finale...

Anyone notice the continuity error in the finale with Sayed? How did he know about the 2 hours he hadnt met Dan since he came back to the island but he talks as if he knew everything?

Elements of this series finale were good, brilliant even, others not so good! For me this finale was not a patch on last years brilliant ending - but then again that was three parts wasn't it?! This was however, in my opinion alot better than the series three finale. For me the highlights of the finale were within the first hour and the first few minutes of the second half. I really enjoyed seeing Jack and Sawyer fight properly it was about time especially as Jack and co. have now ruined Sawyer's new life. The Rose and Bernard scene I thought was a good deterant away from all the action and drama it also wrapped up their story nicely and of course all the scenes with Jacob were brilliant and Frank's scenes although they didn't add much were funny and helped lead to every character to that conclusion. For me Frank and Faraday were/are the best two from the freigther, I just hope Frank doesn't go south like Dan! The shoot out at the end and the nods to episodes past - the series two finale for instance were very interesting at further developing the story. The rest of the finale however felt slow (not as slow as the majority of the series three one though!) with many scenes added simly for filler - although thats how some appeared to me. For example; why put them on the sub, if they were just going to have to escape the next episode anyway? Sayid's retrun although predictable was sad as he was rarely used which was a shame. As for Kate she was annoying as per, and the very end of the episode for me left me thinking "What the hell was that it?" In all series five started out really well the got bogged down in all the off-island stuff but once they had returned we had a bunch of episodes that where bloddy brilliant ending with a watered down finale compared to the year. Hope we get those much needed answers. Role on series six!

Also, if the bomb works and they all get send back to LAX, then what is the need for Season 6? I dont get that

Lissa, Birmingham, on May 19th, 2009
I thought the finale was totally confusing. But brilliant. I thought it was an excellent episode because it displayed everything we love about Lost. Personally, I'm gutted that Ben killed Jacob, because I'd have liked to see Jacob developed more. I also don't understand how Jacob's rival could have been an imposter of Locke, as Locke's body was in the crate. I wish Juliet hadn't of died, she was one of my favourites. I still don't get why Christian, Jack's dad, seems to be appearing on the Island? And that big statue, I've never seen it before. And also, where's Claire? I thought the ending was brilliant though, and I'm actually gutted we've got to wait another 8 months.

Hang on - For those who say it's dropped into sci-fi territory - it was always sci-fi territory. Clue: 1 - Bloody great monster kills Plane Captain - and skins him alive within seconds. Now I don't know about you, but I don't know of any animal on this earth that could have done that. Clue 2: A completely paralysed man manages to regain all feeling and not only that becomes stronger (although we don't fnd out it was he, who was paralysed 'til a few episodes later) Clue 3: A bloody great Polar Bear rushes at them on a South Sea Island. Polar Bears normally found in the Arctic Region. Clue 4: A mysterious signal and number sequence which one of the party has won on a lottery draw - not the sort of thing you find when you've crashlanded on a remote island in the Pacific. And that's just the Pilot. So which part of Sci-fi are you having trouble with? It's always had fantastical elements from the Pilot episode onwards. As for the finale - well it was astonishing. We finally found out about the Statue (after only seeing its "foot" at the end of season 2). It's pointing towards Richard being from the "Black Rock" - something I've been saying for ages. It's very possible that Fake Locke is the man at the beginning of the Finale who is almost certainly the Black Smoke and has taken on many guises - Christian, Yemi etc... We finally met Jacob (hey it's Paul from Dexter) and he has a nemesis (hey it's Silas from Deadwood) so we have a good/light v bad/dark battle - which has been signposted also from series 1 (Locke showing Walt how to play Backgammon - "One is light - the other dark") How Ben has been manipulated all along and that "bad/dark guy has been looking for a loophole to kill Jacob. That Jacob has visted each of the Losties off the island (well the important ones anyway) Meanwhile back in 1977 - Daniel's plan is put into action by Jack who after a few violent disagreements the others help him but tragedy as Juliette is sucked down the hole (definitely on a par with the losses of Charlie and Jin in the emotion stakes) but then she's not dead and sets of the bomb (or does she?) What does Jacob's "They are coming!" mean - are the Losties hurtling back through time for the final battle? So many questions (as always), but we are getting answers as well, now. Roll on series 6. ... RA

As usual Lost ends with a cliffhanger with me asking lots of unanswered questions- is locke really dead... Is Christian really alive... Where is Claire... What is the black smoke... why is there a temple.. why has the feet of the big statue never been seen/ mentioned before... who is the woman who arrested Syed and now seems to be intertwined... Whats desmond upto... and so on.. so many i cant remember - not to mention all the longstanding ponderments and the whole crazy locke loophole issue sprung on us at the end!! I can't see how they will answer all of the questions in the next series alone. I for one hope they do a whole mega compact version for those who have watched it the whole time in order for all of the questions to be answered (i almost feel like reviewing all of the box sets to make sure they are all answered!). I didn't think i would enjoy it once the time travel aspect became apparent because i for one cannot abide programmes involving sci-fi but i am still as hooked as i was the first series (however weird its got!) I understand why some poeple can no longer watch as it has become a bit surreal. However i think if you have been an avid watcher the whole time it will be a shame when it finishes! I personally think that the bomb will not have worked (if all returns to normal i do not see how this would comsume an entire new series!) and think more that what the oceanic crew are doing is how history unfolds anyway- possibly it was them who created 'the hatch'/ killed the Darma/ created the 'black smoke' and so on.. I know full well i will get the series for Xmas (as i alwasy do!) and then watch it again avidly but roll on the final series!!!

How many of you people complain about the time travel element, watch Doctor Who. I'm guessing a vast majority seeing as it regularly gets 10 million viewers. You complain about the have a small time travel element, but the vast majority of the last five years have been much more. Yet Doctor Who is complete time travel, but you watch that and vote for it at awards ceremonies. Hypocritial don't you think.

Brian, Bristol, on May 19th, 2009
Matt, Newcastle - the question should be did YOU watch it?? Juliet was the only character to NOT be visited by Jacob in their flashback...

Louise, on May 19th, 2009
For 4 seasons, Lost was amazing. It was a character-driven real-world based show about survival. Now it's gone to the extremes of sci-fi, and I rather wonder why I bothered. This season was AWFUL and the finale was too. I'll watch the first 2 minutes of S6 just to see the fallout from the bomb, but otherwise I'm done. I just don't care any more. Time travel, teleporting, now human cloning/morphing of dead people... God vs The Devil... The religious references have been there before, but subtle, like all the many other references to anything and everything, but now it's just obvious. I don't really care, but Juliet was never 'chosen' to come to the Island, as the rest apparently were, because Ben brought her there to serve his own interests. And if that awful Eloise woman knew she was going to kill her own son then Daniel always walked into the camp to ask for the bomb and she always gave it to them, ie, the Incident will have been the denonation of the bomb. Though it's complete nonsense. How the hell can they answer everything in just 17 episodes? Aside from the here and now of Charles Widmore, Jacob, Locke et al, what about the 20 or so original outstanding questions? - what happened to the kidnapped tailies, who was Henry Gale, where did the food drop come from, how did Yemi's plane even end up on on a Pacific island? Just to name a few. They've already admitted that Libby's story will almost certainly not get told after all. And the continuty this year has been appaling. It's a complete mess, and I wish they'd been honest from the start and said 'this is actually going to be a sci-fi show with a bit of religion thrown in'. To be fair, there were 3 things I liked about this season: 1, finding out how Ben came to be Alex's father, 2, Sun finding Charlie's ring at the beach camp, 3, Richard Alpert/ Nestor Carbonell wet and dripping ;) Sorry to rant, but there seem to be few comments from those who aren't enjoying it any more, though used to also be mega-fans, and there are plenty of us :(

I loved it ASL and Ben should shut up and stop whining

Matt, Newcastle, on May 19th, 2009
Erm Henry... Juilet was visited by Jacob. Did you actually watch it?

Krodar, on May 19th, 2009
Your first four paragraphs, show quite clearly why I didn't bother watching past season 2. I'm all for good intricate stories, great plots or ideas and nail biting cliff hangers. Sadly after two seasons of drudgery, not even the discovery of Elvis and Aliens on the island; could have saved this from being deleted from my planner.

Elizabeth (Juliette) has been signed for S6 but not confirmed if it is a guest role (flashback) or full time role, and the Smoke Monster will finally be explained in the last 2 or 3 episodes of S6.

Ben, on May 18th, 2009
ASL London have you reported the person who has held a gun to your head and forced you to spend 5 years watching the show. I presume that's what happened. It can't be you have only one tv channel, as Lost changed channels after Season 2. Unless you tv only had Channel 4, then co insidently changed to Sky One at the same time LOST left Channel 4. You say, you can't wait until it ends. Well surely it's already ended for you. Just don't watch the next season if you hate it, then it's ended for you. Watch one of the other 200 channels or do something other then watching tv. DVDs maybe. People that keep watching shows continually, which they don't like actually contribute to viewing figures and thus get the show renewed, then they complain they want it axed. If you stop watching, it's already axed for you, as your not seeing it. Why does it matter to you if it's still on or not, if you don't watch it. There's 200 plus other channels, or does your over inflated ego which gives you a high opinion of yourself make you think they should all be suited to you and the world revloves around you. If everyone who doesn't like a show stops watching it and viewing figures go down, then it may well get axed. But if you keep watching, then your improving viewing figures and thus making the show go on longer.

David, Yorks, on May 18th, 2009
Loved it, thought it was ace. Not so sure that Juliet is dead... Surely if she is then everyone else would be? Or otherwise the plan worked and none of that ever happened...or something. It hurts my head to think about that

Nick, Liverpool, on May 18th, 2009
i think the loophole may have been that jacob could only be killed by someone who he had made leader of the island hense why (dead) locke couldnt kill him and needed ben to do it

Andrew, Manchester, on May 18th, 2009
Apparently Elizabeth Mitchell has only signed onto V as a guest star for the Pilot.

ASL London, on May 18th, 2009
Rubbish episode and the series is full of so many wholes its unbelievable. The simple fact is that if we are to believe that both the past and present are running simultaneously, then anything they have done in the past will change nothing. otherwise the whole storyline with the present is totally immaterial and will never come to fruition. So there is no real cliffhanger with the past explosion as there can actually be nothing that has happened that has changed it as the people in the present ie Sun saw them in the photo from 1978 or whenever, thus their preesnt is running on from the past that involved jack sawyer etc. Convoluted but it makes sense. Basically the whole show is a pile of rubbish that has never really been thought out and when it ends all i can say is good riddance to absolute rubbish.
