    LOST, specifically the finale. There seems to be a common misunderstanding that the finale meant “they were dead the entire time”.

    spoiler

    The Flash Forward timeline was them in a kind of purgatory where they all went after they died. They stayed there so they could all move on together. The rest of the main timeline on the island, flashbacks, etc were their actual lives in the show.

    I’m not a religious or spiritual person at all, but for a scifi/fantasy show like LOST I thought it was a cool way to wrap things up.

        only a lost hater would lack the reading comprehension to understand that isn’t a spoiler. it’s a misconception, so it’s not spoiling anything.

        also the show is 20 years old, shut the fuck up about spoiler nitpicking.

          Idk man if you’re gonna bother with a spoiler warning, the fact that they’re even presented as in purgatory/dead is mostly the spoiler, you only hid the analysis.

            again, read. I “spoiled” what didn’t happen. what you say is “analysis” is what actually happened in the show.
