As the series kind of evolved, I stopped thinking that because the story-lines were just so crazy&#8230;But after the finale last night I&#8217;m kind of going back to my original idea.<\/p>\n<p>Michael had a good theory, too. He thought that the finale of last season &#8212; where the bomb went off and all of a sudden there was a third reality&#8211; was when everyone died. So that means that this final season was the only season where they were living in the &#8220;Afterlife.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I liked that theory too. And it made me feel like the story-lines where they were in this alternate life meant that they were trying to find each other again so they could all rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p>I was a big Lost fan from the beginning. I thought the show was exciting and well written. It had the feel of a big screen action movie, but also the feel of David Lynch&#8217;s &#8220;Twin Peaks.&#8221; It felt very Lynchian to me. I loved the mystery of the island. The last season was kind of lame for me, so I was disappointed and not expecting a whole lot from the finale. But all in all, the ending was a good one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit sad that it&#8217;s over. 6 years is a long investment. I loved Friends, Seinfeld, the Sopranos and Six Feet Under&#8230;all canceled and I was left with a tiny hole. They were such great shows!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit tired today. I have a coffee to get me through. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>QUESTION: What are your LOST theories?
