LOST | Official Trailer
has been a controversial topic for television fanatics for the last decade and a half — and the conversation is reemerging now that the hit ABC seriesPrince Harry 'stunned' by backlash to his Pat Tillman ESPY Award nod: 'Bitter pill to swallow'Meghan Markle 'regrets' royal feud, doesn't want 'bad blood' with Kate Middleton: report During the series finale that aired in 2010, the islanders all reunite after their deaths in a “sideways timeline” that is revealed to be a form of purgatory.
They meet up in a church and “move on” together in the final scene of the show. However, many viewers misinterpreted the ending to mean that the characters were dead the entire time. It didn’t help that the final credits showed the wreckage from the plane crash from the first episode.But the claims that “they were dead the whole time” have been consistently debunked by the cast and creators.Lilly, who played Kate Austen, discussed the “Lost” finale at Dragon Con in 2018. “Art is supposed to, every time without fail, turn the question back on you, and asks you to look at what you’re seeing, listen to what you’re hearing, experience it, and then look at it in the mirror of your soul, and figure out what it means to you,” the now-retired actress “I think Damon and Carlton were so happy, rightly, with the way that they were able to tell their story. The way they were able to have a beginning, and a middle, and an end. There’s something about that that’s really pretty magical,” she explained. “It didn’t go on longer than it should have. And it ended way quicker than I think most of us wished that it had, me included,” Mitchell added. “It would have been lovely to continue to explore Juliet, but I think it had its own little bit of perfection with the way that it did.”Daniel Dae Kim, Jeff Fahey, Yunjin Kim, Emilie De Ravin, and Jorge Garcia in the final season of “Lost.”“It’s definitely true that a lot of people misread the ending and thought they were dead the whole time,” he said. “I think there were a lot of things that contributed to that. One of the things they thought might have been the reason was that, after it ended, during the closing credits – in the US, at least – they had some B-roll of the original crash site, which was just kind of meant as a thing for people to sit and decompress with as they watched the closing credits. But some people read that as, ‘Oh, we’ve been at that crash site this whole time.’ ““We could have all been dead. Or we could have been in like this purgatory thing. I always thought that, and still do kind of really think it was more that,” theactor said. “To me, that’s what makes more sense. Then they kind of sidestepped it with the parallel life at the end.”O’Quinn, who played John Locke, told Vulture he constantly received “negative” feedback about the ending — but he “didn’t take it personally.” “I often thought in the course of the making of the show, if you don’t get it, you’re just not paying attention or it’s just not your cup of tea,” said O’Quinn. “It was written well enough that the whole thing, if you’d simply watched and paid attention, you would understand what they were trying to say. Or at least come to some conclusions yourself.”“I thought that seemed like they kind of hurried out the door, they threw their clothes on and they were gone,” he said about the HBO series. “But I wanted to write them a letter and say, ‘Welcome to the club.’ “Emerson, who played Ben Linus, admitted that it took him time to understand the show’s conclusion. “I don’t think I could have explained the ending to someone at the moment,” he said to Vulture. “But I must have watched it again later. And then it began to fall into place for me, and I began to be able to describe what I thought it was or what it meant in a more effective way. And then I grew happier and happier with the ending over time.”WireImage“That idea — they were dead the whole time — it negates the whole show, it negates the whole point of the show,” he said. “I’ve come to believe over time — whether I’m right or I’m wrong, this is where I find solace — that the people who really think they were dead the whole time did not watch the final season of the show, they just watched the finale.”Executive producer Carlton Cuse told Vulture they made a mistake showing the plane wreckage in the final moments of the series finale.“The problem was that the audience was so accustomed on ‘Lost’ to the idea that everything had meaning and purpose and intentionality,” he said. “So they read into that footage at the end that, you know, they were dead. That was not the intention. The intention was just to create a narrative pause. But it was too portentous. It took on another meaning. And that meaning I think, distorted our intentions and helped create that misperception.” Cuse added, “I think we could have done some things to make it clear that that wasn’t what you were supposed to take away. But one of the big intentions of the show was intentional ambiguity and giving people the opportunity to digest and interpret ‘Lost’ as they want to if they wanted to. And at some level, you know, you can’t have it both ways.”, “Damon and I accept that the show is what it is, warts and all. Everything is a part of it. So ultimately, is there anything I would change? The answer is no.”Angel Reese press conference gets awkward after hot-mic moment: 'Intimate relationship'Khloé Kardashian opens up about the ‘pressure’ to create the perfect fragrance on her own ‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Wouldn’t Care If President Biden “Pooped His Pants” — She’ll Support Him Until He “Can’t Do The Job”©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection
