I finally sat down to watch the 20-minute LOST epilogue that came in the special features of my LOST season 6 DVD. I waited, because I wanted to savor the last 20 minutes of LOST. It was too short! But enjoyable. I am still left with a big, LOST-shaped hole in my heart.
They wrapped up the “Walt being special/having a role on the island” plotline. Ben: “You can help your father.” Walt: “My father’s dead.” Ben:”Doesn’t mean you can’t help him.” Walt looked even older than the last time I saw him. He looked like he should be well into college.
The epilogue gave a few answers about Dharma and the polar bears, but it was nothing you couldn’t have intuited or guessed yourself. The only surprising thing was that I think they explained the “Hurley bird” (genetic mutation). They also explained the source of the interrogation room where Carl was brainwashed, which was nice. There were some nice references to the show (the dharma van, connect four).
The LOST epilogue was more of a tease than an epilogue (not surprising), but it was nice to see Ben, Walt, and Hurley again. If you can’t get to it, it’s not essential. The best thing about it is that it gave Walt a purpose for existing. I recommend watching it if you are a Walt fan, want answers spelled out for you, or if you just miss LOST.
R.I.P., Great show. And Namaste (which, according to wikipedia, means, “"That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you"). Replace with “spirit” or “universe,” depending on beliefs.
