The End - Circle by nyoe_Shephard

Well, LOST is over, and I've been getting a lot of feedback from my friends that the sideways reality was a purgatory.. well, here's my take on it.

The original working title for LOST was "Circle," which could be referred to perhaps as a cycle. As a lot of people had thought after watching the first few seasons, things seemed to repeat themselves, like everything was in a time loop.

For those who have not seen it, watch this clip:

Christian tells Jack that he has died, and Jack realizes that he has died once too. Everyone dies sometime. Desmond had said they were "going" somewhere, and a lot of people interpreted it as heaven. I don't think so at all, I think they're being flashed to the original Oceanic flight. Basically, Jack dies in the spot he wakes up in moments later, only to continue the "circle." Remember, it only ends once, everything before is just progress, everything always happens and ends the same way: Jack dies, and wakes up moments later as their consciousnesses manifest themselves back into their oceanic bodies.

Think about it, imagine watching the last scene of LOST (Jack closing his eyes), then the Mysteries of LOST clip where Christian tells Vincent to wake his son up, and then the first season of the Pilot. Full circle, it's genius.

That's just one take on it, I'm going to rewatch soon and will probably have more to say.
