2) He wasn't anyone. He was just a creation of their own soul's to populate a world in which they all just hung out until ready to move on to the afterlife. That 'world' they were in wasn't real at all. No one, except the Losties were real. Everything else was fake.
3) Also fake guys, totally irrelevant to anything really. They might have been simulacrums of real people that some of the Losties knew but nothing that happened to them mattered.

Yup. Never really sank. The whole sequences of 'flash sideways' was just an imaginary world created by the souls of the Losties.

I think it represented that here the Island didnt matter, that they were free of its pull.
loved it. what an amazing show. Anyone who is stuck on linear time is bound to hate that finale.

Sweet ending. I always thought it would be something like that. Can't wait to watch the entire series on Bluray now. Just from the few recaps from early in the season, there were tons of things I overlooked and forgot that were significant.

So much for the alternate endings, :lol

It's funny that so many already seem unable to reference this ending without specific religious terminology. I mean, they literally had the explainer scene take place in front of a stain glass window depicting at least SIX distinct faiths. This is a human ending. Religiously unspecific. Spiritual? Sure.
I loved it.
It transcended. In every sense of the word.

Didn't the creators tell everyone it was nothing like purgatory? Way back.
I'm all for red herrings, but what?
Most people are still on the "high" of the finally and the show. I am curious how people will view the show and the lack of tying up loose ends in a couple weeks.
Right now it just seems like you can write a crazy story with no direction, no line of sanity, and do an ending where you call it "faith", and it is accepted. It seems like the crazier a story line, the more people will read into it and find the deeper meanings they seek to find. For all we know, they had no idea where this was going, just a concept of .... the crash... they die... they move o to heaven. Now, fill in the blanks with whatever mess we can create.

Really well said.
I'm really of two minds here - as I like to think I've always tried to be a more "The Journey is the Destination" type of guy - but there's still a part of me that would have liked maybe a few more questions answered/mysteries revealed, what have you...
...I mean, they failed to explain the modern day washer and dryer in the hatch built in the 70's by the Dharma Initiative.
I personally can create a list of things that don't have an answer.... its not worth trying to ask why they didn't resolve them. I guess they left it for people to interpret....
I find that when you leave things like this, people tend to make more out of it than you intended.... they call it "Genius", while you sit back and say..."wow, I never thought that while writing it", lol
What I find most disappointing about the series was being yanked around for 6 seasons with LOTS of unanswered questions, to have it end with "you're all dead, this life you've been "living" isn't really a life, you've just been waiting for everyone to come together so you can move on".
Really?? It took them 6 seasons to come up with that?? Not to mention that the writers/producers had said repeatedly they weren't going in that direction... but of course if they had alluded to that direction to begin with it probably would have turned people off.
I'd place it more in Limbo rather than Purgatory btw...

Their time on the island was NOT purgatory, they were all alive. The producers never said they wouldn't eventually end up in a purgatory-like place.
They left a lot of unanswered questions, but when the show ended I just didn't care. I loved the ending. I barely held it together when Claire and Charlie found their constants, but I lost it when I saw Penny in the church. I've been saying it for 3 years, my liking the show hinged on whether her and Desmond ended up together. I couldn't be happier with the way that went, I don't think it was humanly possible for them to tie everything up any better.
I liked the smoke alarm commercial as well.
