“The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people. That’s why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you.”
“For what?”
“To remember and.. let go.”
“Kate. She said we were leaving.”
“Not leaving, no. Moving on.”
“Where are we going?”
“Let’s go find out.”
OH NO DASHBOARD YOU DIDN’T COME UP WITH THIS NOT AFTER THE TOY STORY 3 GIFS, THIS IS TOO MUCH TO COPE WITH

Let me cry lots of tears, jears if you will. Let me cry at how fucking beautiful the ending was, how Vincent was there for Jack. How Jack died a hero, how he didn’t have to die alone.
Let me have a full out breakdown at the beauty of Lost

Lost ★ The End 23/05/2010
Today marks the first anniversary of the Lost series finale.
I still haven’t unwrapped my S6 DVDs purchased last October. I want to rewatch the finale series but I’m scared to in a way. I can’t move on like Jack and co, I still miss the show and the characters dearly. I feel like if I rewatch it will be finally saying goodbye to that world and silly as it sounds I’m just not ready yet.
#1 Lost (Season 6)
I’ve talked about Lost so much since it finished but still I’m overwhelmed by S6 and the finale. Lost has been my TV obsession since early 2005, when it began its final 17 hours of storytelling I was excited, anxious and mostly sad to be saying goodbye to the show, the characters, the mythology. Thankfully the writers concluded it beautifully.
S6 took us to the very depths of gut wrenching pain, the deaths of so many beloved characters, the doomed fate of the ones that fought for survival on a weekly basis but it also made the ending inevitable. Much like Battlestar Galactica after losing so many characters, suffering so much heartache, wondering just how anyone was going to get off that damn Island, Lost concluded with the only way it could. Redemption and a happy ever after. To have anything else would have been a let down and a betrayal to what the series has taught us. Its never too late to redeem yourself and above all your loved ones are what make your life.
The transformation of Jack from jackass to genuine hero still astonishes me, I truly never thought it would be possible for me to like his character let alone love him but by the time he closed his eyes with Vincent by his side, all was beautifully forgiven. Everything had come full circle.
I’m a sucker for redemption stories so it was great seeing it throughout S6, with Ben and Sayid especially but also in her own way with Kate finding Claire and getting her off the Island no matter what so she could be reunited with Aaron.
Lost was never going to wrap everything up and I know a lot of people felt let down by the ambiguity of some of the mysteries and mythology of the series and I will admit I would have loved to have seen more Jacob/MIB and really find out the core of their story but I still believe character is always more important than story. You can have some overarching story to tell but without characters people can geniuely care for then the story will fail.
I think about this show all the time, I still cry at screencaps from the finale or listening to the soundtracks. Lost had everything I wanted in a show, complex characters, time travel, mythology, the interconnectivity of life, redemption and above all love.
Now its over as ridiculous as it sounds I feel a small part of my life has gone with it.

Parting Words with Driveshaft by Michael Giacchino
Yes the song that Faraday plays with Driveshaft in the finale. This is a glorious mix of piano and cheesy guitar and I love it way too much. I may have been walking to work with a massive smile on my face, jears in my eyes and this on my mp3 player

Moving On by Michael Giacchino
I was going to do yet another Lost finale picspam but then I came across the soundtrack to S6 today.
Music truly expresses much more than words or even photos can.
I am quietly sobbing in my room listening to this. I miss the show so damn much.
I really hope no one walks in right now because my tears are super embarrassing

Lost
Buffy occupied this lot up until May when the finale of Lost blew me away on such an emotional level that even now I still get weepy over a single screencap from the final episodes! Lost was not perfect but this was part of its appeal. Not getting answers to everything may have frustrated some but it allowed me to make my own conclusions about things, create my own theories and ponder the post-Island lives of those who survived.
In the end it became about the characters own journeys and whilst time travel and smoke monsters were a big part of Lost and one of the reasons I was so gripped by the series I was satisfied with how it ended because it meant an closure for the characters I followed through 6 seasons.
Now excuse me because I am getting a tiny bit emotional over seeing the Jack jungle cap *sniffles*
