The End

I have tons of questions about LOST. I thought the ending was good; not what I was hoping or expecting, but still good. It was, of course, no Six Feet Under ending, which was hands-down the best series ending ever. All of your questions were answered and you felt happy and justified by knowing how everyone ended up.
I guess the same is sorta true about the LOST ending. We know they all ultimately ended up together, but I am still left scratching my head about what the time on the island really was. Purgatory? Real life? Sideways life?

My current thought is that in the very first episode, when the plane crashed, they all died. There is a clip of Rose saying to Jack (right after some seriously bad turbulence) "You can let go, you can let go now" and that was the moment they all died. Everything else that happened was an in between time where they were trying to prove themselves worthy of passing on to heaven.

Buuuut, what Christian said to Jack at the end is confusing to me - that there was no "now" and that he never really had a son (which is good b/c that kid was fugly). If there wasn't a "now" then what was that moment that they were in?

I was confused that Michael wasn't there at the end, but I read somewhere that he did so many bad things that he was left on the island to be part of the voices you hear whispering before Smokey comes. Those are the voices of the people left in that in-between place who did bad stuff and their punishment was staying on the island.

I have loved Ben Linus' character the whole show, (by the way, the guy who places Ben is from Jacksonville and use to live in our neighborhood) and I thought it was interesting that he was with all of them at the end, but didn't go into the church. Why not? Was he not ready to go on to heaven (let's just call it that for the sake of confusion) with everyone else?

I figured it would only be people who were on the Oceanic flight that went on to heaven together, but Juliette and Ben were there. So why not Laepedis too? That guy was with all of them till the end.

Ongoing questions that I'm p.o.'d didn't get answered:
What was up with the polar bears on the island?
What the heck was up with Jack's freaking tattoos? Ugh, I was always curious about this and I felt like they had a big clue about how he got to the island.
Where was Walt? I thought he and/or Aaron would have a big role at the end.

Check out this great little video, LOTS of questions that we'll never know. Most of these I hadn't even thought of:
