The End

Oh, where to start. There is very little I dislike about this finale. I don't mind the open ending, the lack of detailed answers. I don't mind the religious tones or the Christian's role in the sideways world (but that really isn't what defines this episode for me, since I'm not in any way religious). I love the parallels and the conclusive nature of it all. I love the flashes and the closure in (most of) the various relationships. I love Ben's ending, and Hurley's ascension, and the way all the characters came together in the sideways world as extensions of their island and off-island selves. I love Jack and his character arc. I love the music. I love the shots and the colors. And I love, love, love the ending. It's really quite perfect.
