The Ending Of Lost Finally Explained 

What show's ending are you still trying to wrap your head around?

Can you make a video explaining this video?

The show started with Jack opening his eyes and ended with him closing his eyes

I’d like to see a spinoff of Vincent having a good old time on the island

My favourite part was when James and Juliet got their memories😭😭❤❤

I used to think Lost was the worst ending I ever saw.... Then I dedicated years to Game of Thrones....; now I remember Lost more fondly 🤭🤷‍♀️

LOST: The title was not a reference to the characters but actually the state of mind that viewers were feeling watching the show.

For me personally, the love story between Desmond and Penny was beautifully written!

I just finished watching LOST and I don't know what to do with my self, I got so attached and devoted to the show now I feel sad 😢 it's over. One of the best shows I've ever seen

I still remember Desmond - "AYE" 😭😭😭 and "See u in another Life BROTHER" 💔

Season 1 of Lost was some of the best television ever written. It was so ahead of its time.

It was never about the mysteries. It was about the characters.

I watched 6 seasons 3 times. I don't know why, there is something in this series that attracts me. The most impressive series I've ever watched.

Who's binging on Lost in 2020 lockdown time? 🙋‍♂️

i wish i could wipe my memory & watch this show all over again. one of the greatest shows ive ever watched whether u think the ending was bad or not, i couldnt wait to watch each episode to see what would happen next. i was on the edge of my seat almost the whole show & i miss it 😓

Season 1-3 were the seasons i actually enjoyed. The last 3 seemed like they were trying too hard to make a more mysterious story

Coming up on 20 years since its debut. I said it back then and I’ll say it now - best written characters of any tv drama I’ve ever watched. The storytelling may be flawed, I will agree. But the cast and characters are perfect.

Ben is waiting on his daughter the only person he ever cared about.

Man, I just remembered Jin and Sun’s deaths and am crying all over again.

I finished watching LOST about half an hour ago 😞😞😞 best show I’ve ever seen I wa so moved and devoted to it I can’t believe it’s over. It’s a part of my lice

1. They weren’t dead the whole time 2. The flash-sideway was the bridge between their death and heaven. They had to amend/deal with their regrets/struggles. Jack had to be a father so that he could experience what his father went through and finally forgive him. Sayid helped Nadia’s husband because he blamed himself for her death in real life. Ben helped Alex with her Yale application because he blamed himself for her death. After they dealt their complexes, finally they arrived at the church 3. Even though they died in different times, they all met at the heaven as if they just died. There was no waiting in heaven. When Kate said to Jack at the concert, “I missed you so much”..she meant that she lived a lonely life after his death. 4. The bomb didn’t work. Ben wasn’t on that plane. Still he was a part of the flash sideways. So the “plane didn’t crash because the bomb go off” theory isn’t correct. 5. Richard’s curse was over. He wasn’t immortal. His hair turned grey. 6. Ben couldn’t let go off the guilt/regret of Alex’s death. That’s why he didn’t enter the church. Also there’s a chance Ben tried to betray Hurley after he replaced Jack. When Hurley said, “Ben, you were a great number 2”, I felt like Hugo was trying to forgive Ben for something 7. Dr chang was the host of the Dharma initiative videos. He was the also host of the charity concert. Maybe he found redemption too 8. Jacob’s death was little undercooked. The only way someone could kill him if the person stabbed him before he could speak. But before dying, Jacob had a full conversation with Ben.

I watched every episode when it aired. Never has there been or I think will be a show that moved me so deeply.

I still remember watching season 1, when the pilot gets killed by the not-shown-then smoke monster, and I believed, kinda hoped, it to be a dinosaur. xD

Today its 17/10/2022 and I have finished watching this whole serie today for the very first time... I've been watching it for a month and this ending was so sad but at the same time acceptfull! One of the best series ever if not the best! Hugs from Portugal!

I just finished rewatching the show for the first time since it ended. I must have been 13 or so when it was over, so rewatching it now I have a much better understanding and appreciation for the beauty that this show is. I love the whole thing, beginning to end.

previously on lost always wanted to say that

“Because he’s only one that’ll have me “ .... “I’ll have you.” 💔🥺 if you know, you know.

The “explanation” of the finale really makes it clear that the writers were just winging it the entire time

Currently rewatching this because my anxiety needed calming relief and I’m taking everything in with so much meaning. Genius work, and it’s so beautiful to analyze these relationships and development in all of these characters.

The ending always made sense to me, it was just everyone meeting up in the afterlife after their respective deaths (which happened at different times in the world of the living). What was confusing was how some people ended up thinking they were dead the whole time...

NOT PENNY’S BOAT ✋🏻 😢💔

I may have not watched this many series in my lifetime yet, but I've watched a few, and despite I've seen some really amazing shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, nothing comes close to the geniality of Lost. You truly have to dedicate some time to analyze the series, everything about it its great. At this point I can safely say that if you did not enjoy the ending, its because you truly didn't understand what the series was about.

Exactly as I interpreted it, finally I can put mind to rest with the show knowing I got it! Fantastic show and the best of all time for me. Takes you places mentally and emotionally you don't really go to. Amazing writers, director, music and acting 👏 ❤

Almost 10 years since it finale, Lost remains my favourite show ever.

why Jack said "see you in another life brother" that was so moving .....it all made sense in the end.....what a great series it was man truly one of a kind

The ending was beautiful. Explanation was so so simple. Wonderful.

I just finished watching it and imo, it's the best ending this show could've gotten. I absolutely adored the ending, by far my favorite of all time. Yeah, the writing throughout this season was a bit off, a bit too on the nose, I get that but the direction they went with, was satisfying and heartbreaking at the same time.

See ya in anotha life, brotha.

This reminded me that the most interesting character on the show was Mr. Ecko and how he was killed and basically forgotten

Just finished my latest rewatch binge session and have now watched it 5 times in total. Every time I watch the grooves in my stone that write ‘best show ever’ got deeper and deeper. I have a strong feeling that there will never be a show that will change my mind. Nothing else comes even close for me when it comes to tv shows.

I watched this show when it aired from start of Season 4. Then some years afterI re-watched it. Then recently I binge watched it in just some weeks during Covid. It truly amazes me how it's only the third time I could pick up on all the finer details, especially from Season 6. It was truly written for the fans, giving you details spanning backwards that was very hard for anyone but hardcore fans to pick up on and understand, and remember. It's an amazing show and I usually tell people that Season 2 and half-way into 3 is the 'tough phase' - where things just becomes stranger and stranger, and you are left with more and more questions. But then, somewhere there in S03 small trickles of answers appear. If you still do not like this show when S03 has gone through half way ...then you can stop right there. But if you do - it's the most amazing show I've ever seen and I'm already looking forward seeing it again.... just convinced a colleague at work to see it and he's binged four seasons in 3 weeks time now.

Ending left me depressed at the thought of how sad it was. They all eventually die in their own way.... memorable line was kate saying to jack, "ive missed you so much"

Just finished watching Lost for the Fist time. Big Sad 😞. Great show.

I remember being extremely confused at why people thought they were all dead. The ending was beautiful, I had to take a loooong walk and cried my eyes out. That's just great TV.

I just finished watching the show. After meaning to watch it for so long, i finally committed to it and oh my god what a phenomenal piece of writing. I had heard many bad things about the show and to my surprise I was so pleased with the ending. I don’t think it was confusing at all in my opinion - a perfect ending for an amazing show. Wayyy ahead of it’s time!

The thing is people who watched it only once get "Lost" throughout the end. But I watched it 3 times and every time it seems more coherent. The sixth season is actually real good and this will be forever my fav show. For others... Well you give them a hand, they want a arm. People are never really satisfied.

crashes on an island... "we need to get off this island!" gets off the island.... "we need to go back to the island!" goes back to the island... "we need to get off this island!" eyes start to cross

The biggest mystery is how Elouise Widmore is everywhere at once... how is she in the real world and the after life and be so aware and in control of past present and future? She's literally a God figure in all of this. She was like the Anti-Jacob.

Greatest show I’ve ever watched in my entire life, literally waited months just to finish the last season cause of how much I loved the show. It taught me so much and made me view things so differently, just finished it today but I started watching it last year. Sad that it’s over but damn that was a great show 👌🏼😌

I finally just finished binging the show. I’ve cried many times, mainly at Alex’s death and the stuff with Claire and Charlie.

I’m more lost now than I was when watching Lost

love lost. I found this show during a very hard time of my life and am grateful for it.

I watched this years ago after everyone else already seen it so I was able to bing watch all the episodes and I was instantly hooked. I watched hours upon hours of back to back episodes and when I would sleep at night, I would dream I was on the island with the characters lol I remember waking up thinking how cool it was to be dreaming I was on the island. I wish I could have those dreams again. Maybe I should rewatch all the seasons again. I was kind of disappointed with the last few seasons and especially the ending but that’s just because the first three or four seasons were so amazing and the ending left a lot of unanswered questions but regardless it’s still one of if not the best show of all time in my opinion.

My uncle died just before the finale aired. Seeing the finale and understanding that we could all see each other again in an afterlife helped me get through that time.

I finally completed all 6 seasons of Lost today. Really enjoyed the show. This series really moved me deeply.

IT felt like seasons 1-2-3 & 4-5-6 were two different shows but they were both good shows in their own ways

This was a great explanation video. Thank you :)

16 years after Lost's birth and it's still my favorite of all time!

I miss the emotion of watching this serie when i was a kid. It marked me so hard.

just binged this show... it was some good writing and character development.

I just finished the show and idc what everyone says, it has the best and well written end ever. Everything made sense finally. I was actually preparing myself for a bad end due to reviews but I'm so happy and emotional rn. Lost was literally the best tv show. Wonder what it'd have felt like watching it at the time of its release. Way ahead of its time.

I mean Christian does a pretty good job summarizing everything when talking to Jack in the church.

LOST is still my most favorite show of all time.

Watched them all in a week during lockdown having never seen any before..loved it..a game changer!

It's crazy how many people still think they were dead all along...

Still feeling Lost after watching this. This is the way

May 23, 2010 - Lost ended exactly 10 years ago today. It still remains the greatest TV show ever made. For me, it's more than just a TV show; the emotions I experienced while watching Lost can never be replicated by any other show. :)

Have watched Lost 2 times and starting it up again. Love it! Loved Hugo the most!

The show is truly magical. It was the 2nd tv-show I ever watched as a teenager after Prison Break. Back then the show was amazing, but I was so disappointed because of the ending. I had come to the understanding as is said at 0:41 - they were all dead from the beginning, and this, 10 years ago, gave me such an empty feeling... "I wasted my time watching it". Now 10 years later, I just rewatched it, and it was an amazing experience. Getting to relieve this story with new eyes and a different perspective on the world. Although remembering pieces of the show and getting new ones. I was probably too young to understand the show back then, at least like I do now.. Just finished the last episode and had to confirm my thoughts on the finale of the show, and the first 5 minutes of this video just confirmed everything, so now I can finally put the thought of them all being dead all along to rest. I really like the title 'Lost'. The actors are lost, the plot can be lost (and found), I was lost watching it. The series really was ahead of its time!

Danielle and Ana Lucia’as deaths were the saddest to me because they done so much too survive and just get shot and Karl was such a cutie

if u watched the last episode of LOST in 2020 ⬇️

I'm glad this video breaks down these points. As polarizing as the ending or the show in full was, I understood what the ending meant from the first viewing. And with this info in tow, it's fun to binge watch the series every half decade when it's not as fresh.

Thanks so much! It's all so very clear now.

The ending where they all meet at the same time and place makes sense. Time only exists on earth, not in eternity. The time we spend here on earth will seem as just a flash when we look upon it with the perspective of eternal beings. That's why when we meet friends and relatives and ancestors again in the afterlife, despite having all passed on at different times, it will be almost as though we had never been separated. We can then move on into eternity, with this lifetime having been just one of infinite opportunities to have learned through our short experience here. Namaste.

If ever a show lived up to its name - it was lost

Just watched lost for the first time , best show ever

Just finished the show 12/07/22 ♥️

i dont understand why people hate the ending so much i just finished the show today and i feel 100% satisfied about the ending 🤷‍♀️

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that no one cares to let us know what the heck the man in black's name is! Maybe I'm just trying to divert myself from crying but c'mon who else wants to know?

Just finished it for the second time. So rewatchable!!!

It’s 2021 I just finished lost and when straight to RU-vid for explanations

The REAL truth is that, by Season Six, they had painted themselves into so many corners and had run out of time to explain everything. For example, the ancient symbols from the Middle East, the portal with the ship wheel that led to the middle if the desert, the whole Atom bomb going off thing, the ghostly cabin in the woods that kept shifting, etc, etc. They decided to just say F' it.....we'll just do the purgatory thing and call it a day.

Oh man.. this show has forever been implanted in my memory. One of the best I’ve seen and gotten attached to. ♥️

I always assumed Ben didn't enter the church because he was waiting to crossover with Danielle and Alex.

You're great! Thank you ❤

LOST is still my favorite show ever, I enjoyed season 6 and the ending a lot

aaron’s lil squeaky noises in the last episode were the MOST PRECIOUS SOUNDS EVER

Great summary. Fantastic show. Not flawless in execution here and there yet phenomenal overall in its content and heart wrenching dramatic core. True Detective Season One is the sole masterpiece (as in not a single change necessary, flawlessly pristine) this century (season three had a few serious mistakes that brought it down from where it could have been, yet memorable) but LOST has a honorable spot in audiovisual art for sure as well.

Realizing this comment is about 3 years late, I still feel compelled to leave it. Despite some plot holes, nonsensical threads and oddities I love how the show remembers to include the smallest details from seemingly small random conversations or events. My favourite detail is at the ending when Christian opens the doors allowing the light to flood into the church. He is every bit a manscaped silver fox in his impeccable suit but look closer and see that he is wearing Jack’s old crappy white tennis shoes. ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦 PS Although a bit young at the time I watched the entire series on TV when it originally aired. Would get so excited by what was happening onscreen that I’d instantly become frustrated by having to wait through commercials for the show to start again. When’s the last time you had to sit through commercials lol?!!? Anyways, it’s currently available on Disney+ and I just finished all 6 seasons. Truly loved and enjoyed it far more than the original time I watched it. Without the week long gaps, vacation and holiday breaks and the huge gap between the season ending episode and the next season opener (and again no commercials) the story lines GLO so much better and you’re able to see, remember the little details missed during the initial airing

Ahh those Good ol days of me watching LOST......definitely one of my fav shows

This makes me realize how much I miss this show. I was never confused as to what happened at the end of the last season, I was disappointed because during the entirety of the last season, I feel like I was led to believe the flashes were showing us what the characters' lives would have been if the plane crash had never taken place, and I loved the idea of them randomly attaining memories of this life they had never lived on the island but in the last episode it just went in a completely different direction. I feel like it was so close to sticking that landing but just barely missed it. Thankfully Fringe did a much better job at closing their story out and it's one of my favorite tv shows. I definitely won't let the last episode of Lost to tarnish the amazing show it was because it is still one of a kind.

I just finished lost, finally, and I'm kinda surprised people were so confused at some of this since they explain a lot of this stuff in the finale. Jack's dad explains that there is no "now" in the afterlife, therefore their deaths could've happened at different times. There are surely a lot of unanswered things in the show, but the nature of their meeting together at the end was pretty well covered.

4th time finishing this series and every time I understand it more and more. it really is so dark , meaningful and beautiful

John Locke when he tried to kill himself: "I don't understand" 2019: You still know nothing John.

This show is so incredible. The ending is beautiful. I literally just finished watching it finally after all these years. I had heard bad things about how it ended and was bracing myself for the worst but it was truly an amazing end to an amazing show.

It was very clear to me that what they lived on the island was real: 1) in "purgatory" world they wake up by remembering. If they were dead the whole time, then there wouldn't be anything to remember. 2) they didn't know each other before, and therefore, they could only have built a relationship on the island

Iv watched this show three times. The first time when it originally aired and the second a number of years back. This time (in lockdown) me and my wife watched it again and my god it was better than before. Just the greatest show of all time. I thought the ending was great and very moving.

that church made me cry

I've watched 3 times. First time on TV. Second time binged and saw more connections between not only the survivors but their family members. Third time with my daughter. This was the most enjoyable seeing my daughter's reactions. I loved the final season with the characters remembering each other.

People that say the show just kept adding mysteries at random should rewatch it. Clues were left from the start of it all. The showrunners seemed to have known exactly what we discover in season six. Locke is playing backgammon in season 1 and jack finds jacobs and the smoke monsters stones in the cave where their mothers corpse is as well. I remember not liking the ending years ago but after a rewatch i realize i must have been unable to grasp it. Pretty unique show with much food for thought.
