I could type up everything I felt went wrong with the last season and how I felt about the last 3-4 episodes and epilogue which in turn changed how I felt about the entire show in general...but I'll just use a gif instead:
Yeah the nanobots was by far the best theory and I believe was the original idea for smokie, but it was theorized early by fans and I think they changed it. Dumb move.
The best overall theory I every read was during season 2 or 3 and was about the island being an experimental military facility. There was a lot to the theory and it made sense.
But nope.....the island was a drain plug and it all happened because Jacob said so
I was so disgusted at that I nearly threw up. That last episode should've been broadcasted on the Cartoon Network

Lost Bosses Finally Answer: Was Everyone Really Dead the Whole Time? What Was the Show About? Find Out!

Tears. All over again.
There were few dry eyes in the room asLost's big bosses Damon LIndelof andCarlton Cuse faced fans for the first time since the iconic TV series went off the air three years ago and answered the big questions they have never addressed:
Were they really dead the whole time?
What was the point of the whole show?
Here are the answers Damon and Carlton gave at tonight's PaleyFest event honoring the 10th Anniversary of the Lost premiere. (And by the way, the original plan was to screen the Lost pilot, but that plan was scrapped out of consideration for the Malaysian Air tragedy. The first-season finale was aired instead.):
READ THIS: Idiot's Guide to Lost
On whether the characters were actually dead the whole time (Since the time the plane crashed): "No, no, no. They were not dead the whole time," Cuse said definitively, adding that he believes that some footage they showed at the very end of the series lead to much of the misunderstanding among fans.
"At the end of the series finale, [an ABC exec] thought it would be good to have a buffer between when you have the end of the show and when they cut to say, a Clorox commercial," Cuse explained. "We didn't have a lot of extra footage lying around, but we had footage of the plane wreckage on the beach," which they shot when the plane needed to be moved or it would have been washed out to sea. "We thought, let's put those shots at the end of the show and it will be a little buffer and lull. And when people saw the footage of the plane with no survivors, it exacerbated the problem."
But the characters definitely survived the plane crash and really were on a very real island. At the very end of the series, though? Yep, they were all dead when they met up in heaven for the final "church" scene.
On what the finale was all about: Carlton explained: "Very early on we had decided that even though Lost is a show about people on the island, really, metaphorically, it was about people who were lost and searching for meaning and purpose in their lives. And because of that, we felt the ending really had to be spiritual, and one that talks about destiny. We would have long discourses about the nature of the show, for many years, and we decided it needed to mean something to us and our belief system and the characters and how all of us are here to lift each other up in our lives." (Hence, the whole brilliang "Constant" concept. Swoon x infinity, Desmond and Penny.)
Damon added: "For us, one of the ongoing conversations with the audience and there was a very early perception, was that the island was purgatory and we were always out there saying 'It's not purgatory, this is real, we're not going to Sixth Sense you.' And we felt it too that the show had to become sort of meta in this way. And so the writers said, 'Obviously, there are all these mysteries. But what if we answered a mystery that was never asked, what's the meaning of life and what happens when you die?'"
Damon added that the idea for the "Flash Sideways" world came about between the planning of seasons four and five because "We were out of flashbacks and we were done with flash forwards. So we started to think about, what if we sort of Trojan horsed in a paradoxical sideways storyline?"
This creativity came into play after ABC sold the series oversees internationally for longer than the storyline was originally plotted out by Damon and Carlton and their brilliant team of writers, so...Things got more...creaitve.
Also answered tonight was a fan question: "Who was the top dog on the show? Jack? Sawyer? Or someone else?"
Damon's answer: "In terms of the set, I can't answer the question but in terms of the show, I guess we can point to who ended up running the island."
Boom. Team Hurley. Always and forevah!
Also, there will be at least one more frequently asked Lost mystery that will be resolved, someday. Damon revealed that one of the show's biggest questions—who was on the outrigger—was actually written, but the writers decided that "it was a cool answer but what's cooler is to not answer it…We will probably auction [the script] off for a great charity cause a few years from now."
PHOTOS: We all know Lost is gone but find out which shows aren't in our Renewed or Canceled mega guide!
Lost premiered on Sept. 22, 2004, and concluded its run on May 23, 2010, with what turned out to be one of the most controversial finales of all time—primarly because, as Damon confessed, the finale didn't answer any of the questions fans had expected it to. (What were the polar bears all about? etc.)
Carlton summed up their vision for the show thusly: "We felt like Lost was sort of the Big Bang Theory and every question would only beget another question.But what we cared about most was the emotional journey of each character."
Some of us who watched (and obsessed) about the show cared most about that, too.
Check back tomorrow (Monday) for what Damon Lindelof told me about how there will probably be more Lost, and exclusive video interviews with the cast!

Bond's gun spoke once....
just finished this a few days ago.....
thought it coulda been goat status after the first 3 seasons....

those sideways storys were good, but I still was like
when watching them (sawyer a cop? all that random shyt)
anyways, overall, its still a top 10 show, as I really enjoyed watching it, but I doubt I will ever go back and rewatch the whole series.

to me, they were dead the whole time, no matter what he says
that way all my questions are answered... if they weren't dead, this show would make no sense and there would be a million questions
