They all died after the plane crashed into the island and the whole 7 seasons were just a dream or something ...The whole show is very confusing but it's neat, I was disapointed when they ended the show with that though because it seemed that they went to far with all the twists and turns and just couldn't think of any more ideas .

lol, nah, they didn't die when they crashed. they were alive but the "flash sideways" parts in season 6 were when they died and were in purgatory and shit. it's all very half baked.

pretty sure the island possesses the ability to transport someone forward or backward (well their consciousness) in their own personal time-line. i think it also presupposed the idea of predetermination as it applies to what someone's ultimate destiny is, not what celestial plane they will inhabit.
which i guess means there is some kind of God, in the Lost universe and the island can be used to move outside of that sphere of influence. hence why no babies can be born on the island, because it exists outside of God's personal sphere of control over time and destiny.
I don't know if this makes sense, but its the best I got and i hope its logically sound.

Smoke monster was some guy, the second set of flashbacks were actually flashforwards to after they'd all died. Some bullshit about how the time they spent together on the island and afterwards tied them together and now it's time to go to heaven. And then it ends.
The ending was what the Lost writers sincerely believe the afterlife is like, and for some reason felt the need to insert their religious views into the show they were paid to write.

Are you saying religious views have no context in entertainment? Because that is just silly as fuck young man.

Not at all. Religion can be interesting in entertainment when done in an entertaining way. I'm saying the writers of Lost had idiotic religious views that have no context in anything, especially not entertainment. You can't deny the ending of Lost resembles a new-age universalist spirituality circlejerk.

I haven't seen the ending yet. From what I've heard, it can be interpreted different ways, and everyone is just deciding it has to be the crummiest of all possibilities.

SPOILAR ALERT, but if someone read the thread title they should have figured that already.
I thought the time travel was rather herpy derpy, but then they make a nonsensical purgatory. An example of why this purgatory is facepalm is how Claire's adult son who lived a full life and died is somehow stuck in baby form in this purgatory. Was he in baby form because he retained the mind of a newborn infant all his life? We'll never know.
Also Jack has a son in purgatory, when he never had a son. Perhaps it is because he wanted a son so badly that in purgatory he imagined he had a son. Again, we'll never know.
Along with the above, none of the Lost characters can leave purgatory until they all randomly meet each other and then decide to gather inside a church together at which point a fantastical beam of light increasingly floods the church with radiance whisking them all off to somewhere else which is never explained.
Presumably they all went to heaven, since we can assume they were in purgatory, which is ridiculously unclear anyway. Conflicting theories exist on that with the official Lost explanation being something like "It's not really purgatory, it's a place they subconsciously created together for the purpose of meeting up with each other (possibly thousands of years after dying) so they can advance to heaven at the same time."
See why people hate on the ending?

It would completely make sense that they all eventually get to heaven/transcend into something more than they are.
Sounds like the whole thing is because Mr. Whitmore wanted to have some kind of communion with God/a deity.

Science fiction my son. Go watch Castaway 60 times in a row if you think that's how Lost should have been.
Castaway was fucking awful. The first couple series of Lost were interesting, until they had to keep spinning out the mysteries to fill 6 six seasons when it was clear they hadn't planned that far.
It isn't science fiction. You don't get to make up shitty storylines and supernatural mysteries that go nowhere and throw a tarp over it and go "lol it's only scifi". That's fucking insulting to all the great well-written and intelligent SF out there.
The following users say "It is so good to hear it!":
I also just wanna point out to the people looking for a bunch of specific answers, that they never were going to, or really could give answers to all those. They even say this in one of the episodes during the final season, Across the Sea, when Jacob is asking a bunch of questions to his mother about the island and the light.
MOTHER: Every question I answer will simply lead to another question. You should rest. Just be grateful you're alive.
They did not die during the plane crash. It was NOT a dream. Everything on the Island actually happened. The point was - that Jacob and all the others that ended up there, ended up on the Island in order to come to grips with themselves and their past.
They all died eventually - because everyone does, but the Island was sort of like a living purgatory. Excluding a few people, everyone who crashed on flight 815 was joined together in the after life, because of the Island.
Everything that happened in the alternate reality was what would have happened, had the Island never been there to fuck with their lives. Also, they way they are in the alternate reality is the way they would have been, had they not been burdened by the troubles the Island fixed in their real lives.
