As someone who's been a major fan of many TV shows for years and years, and someone who only got into Lost a few months ago: Lost is the greatest thing to ever have been televised. Seriously. Nothing has ever been so immersive, atmospheric and ambitious as this show. It had me gripped from start to finish, and I was genuinely satisfied by the ending (it's incredibly misunderstood). There has never been a TV series as big as Lost, and there may never be again.
Don't you just wish you could wipe this show from your memory everytime you want to re-watch it?
Is this a terrible joke?
Let me rephrase. Whether this is true or not, it's a terrible joke.
not sure I've ever seen more mesmerizing character development, which is then intertwined into intriguing story and action. for the first 3 or 4 seasons, at least.
best show ever. best finale ever. do not fight me on this.

This show is amazing, it almost contains all the genres, from fantasy, action, science fiction, drama, love story, time travel, crying, adventure, ...etc.
You will love and cry a lot watching it, I enjoyed it very much, and I highly recommend it <3
Ending Explanation:
They are not dead all along, the island was real, all the events on the island are still real. The ending scene in the church is just an afterlife, and it has both dead and alive persons (they will die eventually normally, like Kate, Swayer).
You can think of it as if the explosion at the end of season 5 caused a parallel timeline happening in the afterlife in the future, and as a proof, in the parallel timeline, they can remember the island. However, on the island they can't remember their parallel timeline, except for Desmond, of course, he is special!
The afterlife timeline is novel and happens as if the plane crash never happened.
So, that was one hell of an ending, maybe the greatest ending of all time, with Inception ending XD Don't misunderstand it :)
So this is the worst episode of Lost, eh? It's not that bad.
