1. Was the island real then? The Alt universe we saw in season 6 is the limbo, but anything before that was real?
2. Everything we saw until season four was just a progress that made the ending to be as it is? I mean we learned the life stories of out losties, and when the end came we ware happy they managed somehow to let go and walk toward heaven?
3. Why do you think we never get the answers to those many questions? Like what is the light? Why the button? Why the time travel and the technology? It was all because they wanted the fans to come up with theories? So every fan group can create it's own Lost experience?
Answers :
1.The entire island story was real and when they were alive. Sideways was after they all had died (eventually). They all died at different times in their life though.
2. The entire story was a tale of redemption. So yeah we got their backstories in seasons 1-3 and found out that no one was really taken out of a happy existence to be brought to the island. They had a true purpose there and created new relationships both love and friendships that were the most important to them.
3. Yeah many arguments for this. They say now that they left things ambiguous for interpretation. But people argue that they did it because they didn't have answers for some of this. I have resolved that I enjoyed my experience in watching the show and loved the journey. I also loved how it ended. I will always have my questions but that makes it fun to discuss with everyone. Plus the season 6 DVD will have more footage shot this year in an attempt to answer questions they didn't cover on the show! Can't wait!
