I love being right - but I'm not very often

I have watched "Lost" from the very beginning and have been a devoted viewer. 

I have to say that in the first season, I had a theory that they had all died in the plane crash and that they were in Hades, or something like it.  Then, this season, one of the episodes confirmed it for me.  Yes, I figured it out early on, which is something that doesn't usually happen.  People were so shocked at the ending, when it is revealed that they are all dead and have been in a state of limbo (I call it purgatory, or a "holding pattern", or spirit prision).  At the end, they gathered at a church - together and were ready to move on toward the light.  Their experiences together in this place were the most important of their existence. 

I know - many people hoped it would end with the crew partying on the island, playing limbo and drinking fruity frozen drinks and tanning at their newly constructed resort - all alive and happy.  Oh well. 

And what about the "island"?  Turns out it wasn't about that - it was about the people.

Follows a familiar pattern, I would say. 

Did you watch LOST?  What are your thoughts?

We watched lost for the first year and then I would get so frustrated that I didn't watch it. I do have the last episode taped. I think we will watch it just to get closure.

How smart you are to have figured it out so soon!
