“Big, giant answers about what the Island was or its place in the world’s cosmology or why it had Egyptian stuff all over it or anything like that were probably bound to be disappointing, as most of the answers dispensed this season were, only even more so. Saying what the Island is is like saying what the meaning of life is; it’s a question you can ask but never receive a really satisfying answer to.” – Todd VanDerWerff, The LA Times
“LOST’s finale, like the rest of the series, was a Rorschach test. What you think it means says more about you than it does about what ‘Lost’ masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse actually put on the screen.” – Gary Susman, TV Squad
“I’ve been writing about the show for years and putting out some crazy theories and I honestly think that I had no idea that it would end this way,” said blogger Jo Garfein, who watched the finale at the Orpheum Theatre with 2,000 fans, some of whom came from as far away as Scotland and Turkey. “It was way more beautiful than I could have imagined.”
