Message: <blockquote data-quote="Diamond Cross" data-source="post: 5191472" data-attributes="member: 51024">It was the flash-sideways that was the alternate universe.But as for myself I'm somewhat disappointed in the ending.First of all, Jack shouldn't have died. He was given the power of immortality by Jacob through spring waters. Now, I can see how removing the cork can temporary disrupt that, but he was point blank when it reset. And unless you have to drink from the waters again to restart the immortality, being there point blank should have been enough.This same disruption allowed Kate to shoot smokey and kill him. So I guess the rules were just  things that Jacob made up. After all, when they were kids his brother said "when it's your game you can make up the rules". So I guess that's how Kate was able to kill smokey and smokey was able to kill Jack. Prior to this, smokey could not directly kill Jacob because that was the rule.The smoke monster will never be fully explained. I halfway expected Jack and anybody else down there to be transformed as well. Or to see more smoke monsters come out of the hole after the cork was removed. So I guess there was only the one. Maybe you have to be killed, like Jacob killed his brother, in order to transform?The sinking of the island will never be fully showed. I fully expected to see it sink in this episode.If the springs give true immortality, Hugo and Jack shouldn't have been in the Church at all at the end. True immortality means you simply don't die and you'll even outlive the universe. So I guess longevity is the operating word. But this is also a matter of semantics. I can see all others being in the church because I think that when the cork was removed it would've disrupted their immortality. But the difference is the distance. Remember, JAck was point blank when he restarted the well.And the final kicker is....The flash sideways was actually the afterlife. I tell ya, if my afterlife is no different than my life, then I will be really disappointed. I really wanted it to be a true sci-fi style alternate universe rather than an afterlife situation. But I guess technically the afterlife is some sort of alternate dimension. But that's a matter of semantics.And of course, Kate's horse will never be explained.Still, overall I liked the episode. So I give it a B.</blockquote>
