  Just like what Jack's father said: "Everyone dies sometime kiddo, some of them before you, some long after you. There is no "Now" here.

  Christian explained it perfectly, they all died at separate times but that was like a meeting place for them, and it was definitely real

  The show starts with a close up of Jack’s eyes open to see a plane crash and it ends with Jack seeing a plane take off before he closes them.<br><br>Genius.

  I spent my entire time watching with memories of people saying “they’re dead the whole time,” “so many unresolved plotlines,” “the ending sucked.” Boy were they wrong. Just finished it now. What an incredible show.

  You should travel back in time and fix the auto focus.

  I just finished watching the series last night. This explanation is spot on! Everything that happened on the island... happened. Our protagonists took part in one of the most monumental events in human history… the struggle to keep the darkness at bay. The entire alternate storyline that took place (during the Final Season) following the safe landing of Oceanic Flight 815, was in actuality a shared purgatory; A waiting room where our characters continued to evolve until they were ready to shed the fears and weakness that anchored them to the human plane. &nbsp;By the end of the season, our core characters are ready to move on to the afterlife. &nbsp;But not all. For instance, when we meet Ana Lucia, she is a dirty cop, accepting a bribe. &nbsp;Hurley states that she &quot;is not ready.&quot; Meaning she is still mired down in human weakness. &nbsp;Her time is yet to come. &nbsp;But, due to the strong human bonds (and loving relationships) that our core group formed during this struggle, they needed to wait for each other, and reunite so they could move on as a group. &nbsp;We see the gathering at the church from the perspective of Jack, most likely because he was their leader and sacrificed his life for the group. &nbsp;But purgatory is a reality that exists “out of time.” &nbsp;For instance, Hurley and Linus could have been the island&apos;s protectors for a thousand years after Jack died. The group that escaped the island probably went on to live full lives. We will never know their stories. But in the end, they all met at the church as a group, on a timeless plane, to make the final journey into the light.
