What really bugs me is, at the end, Jack's father tells Jack that yes, everything was real. The island did happen. And then implies that that whole flash-sideways was the beginning of the afterlife. It's where they all came together and shared those memories.
But this really gets to me as nothing of this actually explains the island. The island can be 'real' but we need an explanation as to how the hell it can be 'real'. I thought we were going to get all of that around season 5 and the beginning of this season because they were hitting on the science stuff really hard- the electromagnetics, the physics, Faraday's stuff, etc....
But all of that was for nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Because none of it meant anything, as it all just 'happened' and the real result of the show was all really just this last episode. Everyone dies eventually and all meets up in these weird ways in this manifested afterlife where the plane landed safely. But now you all remember what really happened. And you're dead. So congratulations,. Oh, and remember that CRAZY F*%#%$#ING ISLAND? No.. screw that we're dead. That was REAL.. but let's not question how the HELL WAS IT REAL?
Here's my way of ending it:
The nuke that was set off split their consciousnesses in two- two universes that were interconnected very closely. In one, things on the island get hardcore and pretty much wind down the way that we saw them happen in the last episode. In the other, they all have those freaky remembrances of each other when they meet, and this is mostly due to Desmond's doing.. because he is special. Due to Widmore's magnet experiment he sees both worlds nearly simultaneously. When they all come together in the church, they all are able to recall all the events of both worlds, and then are subconsciously able to choose how their lives are supposed to turn out- with each couple ending up in a world where everything went the way it was supposed to. This is the ultimate power of the island and explains all the electromagnetics, the time shifting, why the Dharma people and Widmore and that old gray haired lady wanted to get to it so bad and F with it. It all explains itself here, and then everyone's in their own world and happy and no one stays on the island. Except maybe Jack, because he's F'ed up. Or Ben, because he really has no good happy ending.
Bam, done, over.
That would have made it a LOT better, IMO.
