September 2010

Yes, this probably has spoilers, so if you haven't seen LOST all the way through, don't read it. And maybe someone else out there has come up with this same kind of storyline?

So how would *I* have ended LOST? I've had a couple of people ask. When I watched the finale, I was OK with it, but as time has passed, there were just some things about the Island itself that were not explained or summed up enough for my taste. This finale could keep the majority of Season 6 intact, but there would need to be one major rewrite that I'll get to later.

I would have kept the Island "timeline" exactly the same, especially at the end - Desmond would have unplugged the light hole in the cave, Jack would have had his final Mortal Kombat showdown with Flocke and have gotten wounded, and then Kate would have taken out Flocke since he was now mortal due to the light hole being unplugged. Delete the scene where Jack passes the cup to Hurley, though. Jack goes back into the light cave, plugs up the hole, and then passes out.

HOWEVER... at the final scene, instead of having a close up of Jack closing his eyes, just fade out where you see Jack lying down and Vincent next to him. Then - cut to a close up of Jack's eye opening (just like the very beginning of LOST).
