The end (original title: The End ) is the series finale of the US television series Lost and consists of the 17th and 18th episodes of the sixth season or the 120th and 121st episode in total. They first ran in the eastern part of America and then aired simultaneously in the western part and eight other countries.

The script for the finale was written by co-creator / executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse . The director was Jack Bender . In contrast to previous season finals, which were two hours long including advertising, the series finale was extended by half an hour, thus to a total duration of two and a half hours. The broadcast began at 9:00 p.m. EDT , with a two-hour review of the past six seasons under the title Lost: The Final Journey running at 7:00 p.m. The series finale saw 13.5 million people in the United States. It received mostly positive reviews.

In the episode, the "Man in Black" ( Terry O'Quinn ) begins his plan to destroy the island, while Jack Shephard ( Matthew Fox ) tries to stop him once and for all. Meanwhile, the flash sideways ("sideways fades") of the sixth season are cleared up.

action

2007

Jack Shephard, Kate Austen and Hugo "Hurley" Reyes make their way to the heart of the island while James "Sawyer" follows Ford Desmond Hume who has been thrown into a well. When he gets there, Sawyer meets Ben Linus and the "Man in Black" who tells of his plan to destroy the island. Sawyer then steals Ben's rifle and rejoins Jack's group. Jack tells Sawyer that he will face the "Man in Black". At the same time Desmond is rescued by Rose Nadler and her husband Bernard faces the "Man in Black". The latter threatens to kill Rose and Bernard if Desmond doesn't come with him. Desmond agrees to this request if he will leave the couple unharmed. Miles Straume finds Richard Alpert, who is no longer forever young, in the jungle and they set out to destroy the Ajira plane so that the "Man in Black" cannot escape from the island. On the side they save Frank Lapidus, who survived the sinking of the submarine, and finally decide to leave the island by plane.

On the march to the heart of the island, Jack's group meets that of the "Man in Black". Jack makes it clear to the "man in black" that he will kill him and together with Desmond they go to the heart of the island. Jack believes Desmond can kill the "Man in Black" as he suspects Jacob brought him to the island as a weapon rather than bait. Desmond tells Jack that destroying the island and killing the "Man in Black" doesn't matter as he descends to the heart of the island and then disappears to another location. Jack and the "Man in Black" let Desmond down to the heart of the island and he discovers a room in which there is a shining pond with an elongated stone in the middle. Immune to the pond's electromagnetic energy, Desmond manages to remove the giant stone plug. Thereupon the light goes out and the pond dries up, which leads to the destruction of the island, as predicted by the "Man in Black". One consequence of Desmond's deed is an unpredictable side effect that makes the "man in black" mortal again. During a fight, the “Man in Black” stabs Jack with a knife in the same place where his appendix was removed. Shortly before the final fatal blow, Kate shoots the "Man in Black" in the back, allowing Jack to kick him off the cliff into certain death. The island continues to crumble and Jack knows that he has to rekindle the light at the source. He tells Kate to get Claire Littleton on board the plane and leave the island if he doesn't make it. They both declare once again that they are in love and Kate sets off with Sawyer while Hurley and Ben follow Jack back to the pond.

Kate and Sawyer travel with Desmond's boat, the Elizabeth , back to Hydra Island, in place of the Ajira plane where Lapidus, Richard and Miles are trying to make it airworthy again. Kate convinces Claire that she can help her raise Aaron and together they go to the plane. After Kate, Sawyer and Claire come on board, the pilot Lapidus manages to take off from the island. Jack leads Hurley and Ben back to the heart of the island and Jack convinces an emotional Hurley to take on the role of island protector, as Hurley should always be the leader. Hurley and Ben let Jack down to the dry pond where he saves the almost unconscious Desmond. Jack manages to rekindle the light by replacing the stone plug and he is then surrounded by light and swallowed. Hurley, in the role of the island's new protector, doesn't know what to do. Ben advises him to help Desmond get home and notes that there might be better ways to protect the island than Jacob did since humans couldn't leave the island. Hurley asks his help and Ben is honored. Jack wakes up in the jungle next to a stream and walks towards the place in the bamboo forest where he first woke up on the island after the crash of Oceanic 815. After Jack collapses on the floor, the dog Vincent comes and lies down next to him. Jack looks happily towards the sky as the Ajira plane flies over him and away from the island. He slowly closes his eyes as he dies, which mimics the first scene in the series in the pilot, which is a close-up of Jack's opening eye while he lies motionless on the floor.

Flash sideways

In the alternative timeline, Desmond collects many islanders at a benefit concert by Daniel Widmore and the band DriveShaft. One by one they begin to recognize each other again, either through direct contact with one another or through an object that was important during the time on the island. Ultimately, most of them remember their previous lives and go to the church where the funeral service for Jack's father was supposed to take place. John Locke has feeling in his legs again after Jack's operation. He meets Ben outside the church and forgives him for killing him. Ben then meets Hurley, who says everyone is already inside and encourages him to come, but Ben decides to stay outside. When Hurley goes back to church, he tells Ben that he was a really good number two ... Ben replies that this was a great number one, referring to their time together on the island after Jack's death. Kate arrives with Jack and she advises him to take the back entrance of the church where he sees his father's coffin. The coffin acts as a catalyst for Jack's memories after he refused to believe the flashbacks he got after meeting Locke and Kate. Jack opens the coffin and finds it empty. Christian Shephard then appears behind him. Jack begins to understand that he is dead too (see also Life After Death ). After an emotional hug, Christian assures him that the events that had happened up to that point were real and that the time he spent with the people on the island was the "most important time" of his life. He explains to Jack that time has no meaning in this place and that they "created" it to "find each other" regardless of when they died so that they can "move on" together. Jack and Christian go to church to meet the others. They recognize each other and remember their lives together. After an emotional reunion, Christian opens the front door and a bright light from outside slowly immerses everyone in the church.

production

Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof at Comic-Con 2007

The producer Damon Lindelof announced via his Twitter account that filming for the season finale was completed on April 24, 2010 in Hawaii - exactly six years after the completion of the pilot episode. In an interview about the finale, Carlton told Cuse that it offers real resolution rather than a "snow globe, waking up in bed, it was all a dream, black picture" type of ending.

Only Fox and O'Quinn's versions of the script explained the Sideways world; Lindelof and Cuse only explained the importance of the sideways to the others while filming the church scene. This was the last time all the actors were together. They expressed satisfaction with the finale; Daniel Dae Kim said, “When you think about how many pieces the writers had to put together to make it fit together, it's amazing and they did a good job. [...] It was very satisfying for me. After reading it, I sat there for five or ten minutes, just reflecting and digesting, because it definitely has an effect. "

Michael Emerson stated:

“I have received the final by degrees. I read the script without the secret scenes, then I read the secret scenes, then I shot the script and each time I'm thinking about 'what does this mean?' When I first read it, the ending wasn't clear to me - but since then it's grown more clear and I have to say, grown more satisfying the more I think about it. I expect a mixture of satisfaction and consternation amongst the viewers when it airs. But once they rewatch it, rethink about it and possibly look at the saga again, gradually they will feel like they have just read a good novel - but you have to chew on it for a while. "

“I gradually got the final. I read the script without the secret scenes, then I read the secret scenes, then I shot and thought 'what does that mean?' When I first read it, I didn't know the ending - but since then I have become more aware of it and I have to say it becomes more and more satisfying the more I think about it. I expect a mix of satisfaction and confusion among viewers when it airs. But as soon as you see it again, think about it and maybe look back on the saga one more time, you will gradually feel that you have just read a really good novel - but still have to chew on it. "

For Nestor Carbonell , the finale is “about everyone's resolutions”. Henry Ian Cusick said, “There are so many social classes meeting and talking about the show and so many issues being addressed and that is exactly what the ending will bring about. People will talk about it for weeks and that's what the show has always done. "

After the finale, a special edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live! , titled Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost at 12:05 a.m., which featured three joking alternate endings that paid homage to Survivor , The Sopranos and Newhart . Lindelof and Cuse announced that they only filmed one ending for the series. The other three were from Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been produced. An ABC source announced that the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the sixth season will contain twenty minutes of additional material, including answers to questions in the actual episode, which has already been extended to 2.5 hours could not also be included.

All of the former leading actors who played in the finale ( Jeremy Davies , Maggie Grace , Rebecca Mader , Elizabeth Mitchell , Dominic Monaghan , Ian Somerhalder , Cynthia Watros ) were added to the main cast for this episode. Not included are Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje , Malcolm David Kelley , Harold Perrineau, Jr. , Michelle Rodríguez , Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro . The supporting actors Sam Anderson , L. Scott Caldwell , François Chau , Fionnula Flanagan , John Terry and Sonya Walger were also promoted to leading actors in the last episode.

Although she was killed in the 12th episode of season six and only appeared briefly in the 13th, Zuleikha Robinson was named as the leading actress for each episode. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje turned down an offer to perform due to a pay disagreement. Although Carlton Cuse announced that Malcolm David Kelley would appear, he was only seen in archive footage.

The end credits of the series finale did not run in a window next to ABC promotional material (usually a trailer for the next Lost episode) , as is usual in earlier episodes , but with pictures of the abandoned wreck of the Oceanic 815 in the background. However, these recordings are not made by the producers and have nothing to do with the content of the finale. ABC decided on this image material on its own, as a calm, nostalgic transition between the last scene and the following messages.

Charisma

The final ran first on ABC in the east of the United States and on CTV in east Canada, then simultaneously in the west of the United States, in west Canada, as well as at Fox in Italy and Portugal , Fox and Cuatro in Spain , DiziMax in Turkey , Sky1 in the UK and Ireland and Hot 3 in Israel at 9:00 p.m. PDT on May 23, 2010. Due to the time difference, the episode aired in Spain at 6:00 a.m. (5:00 a.m. in the UK) BST . In Ireland, RTÉ Two decided to broadcast the final on Monday, May 24th at 9:00 p.m. instead of the usual slot on Thursday for the benefit of the fans. ABC demanded up to 900,000 USD for a 30-second promotional clip during the broadcast on 23 May.

In Germany, the final was on July 7, 2010 at the Pay TV transmitter FOX Channel and on November 18 in free TV on cable one .

Audience ratings

The first American broadcast of Das Ende was seen by 13.5 million viewers, which corresponds to a rating of 5.8 and a share of 15% in the target group of 18 to 49 year olds. Lost was the most watched program on Sunday. The last half hour was seen by 15.31 million viewers (6.4 rating / 19% share). At least 20.5 million people watched the last six minutes, according to ABC. After the first broadcast, the final came in 55th place of the most watched series finals in America. Entertainment Weeklys Michael Ausiello described the ratings as "solid, not spectacular". Although the final had the most viewers in two years, it was still "far from record breaking".

In the UK, 584,000 people watched the episode on Sky 1 when it aired at 5 a.m. Another 2.5 million Britons tuned into another broadcast in the evening. In Canada, an average of over two million viewers saw the 7pm special and the two-hour finale.

The first part of the finals on Kabel Eins reached 0.54 million viewers at 11:05 p.m., corresponding to a market share of 3.5 percent. In the advertising-relevant target group, 0.26 million people tuned in (3.7 percent market share). The second part then saw only 0.39 million viewers. Among the 14 to 49 year olds this was 0.21 million and a weak market share of 5.5 percent. Overall, the ratings for Kabel Eins were very disappointing.

Reviews

According to the Metacritic website , Das Ende received “generally positive reviews” with a Metascore - an average based on 31 reviews - of 74 out of 100 points. IGN's Chris Carbot gave it the highest rating with 10 out of 10 points, just like in the pilot episode, Behind the Mirror , The Constant and The Return, Part 2/3 . He described the finale as "one of the most exciting, fun, and satisfying conclusions I've hoped for." Carbot also wrote that the discussion about the ending is likely to never end: " Lost may be gone, but it will be hard to forget. "

Eric Deggans of the St. Petersburg Times in Florida also gave the highest rating, stating : "" The show on Sunday was an emotional, funny, masterfully considered reminder of what Lost has been looking for since the first moments in prime time - TV landscape focused: Faith, hope, romance and the power of redemption through trust in the best that moves humanity. ”Robert Bianco of USA Today also rated the episode with the highest number of points:“ [The finale] holds up with the best series finals that have ever been produced with. "

Orlando Sentinel's Hal Boedeker described the finale as "a blast". Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune praised the finale and wrote, “The first two hours were exciting and emotionally compelling, especially as the stranded in the Sideways world began to remember their“ real ”lives. ... But for the last half hour or so the finale took it to another level. ... The emotional part of the finale worked so well that I don't put too much emphasis on the analytical / structural stuff. ”Still, she criticized the supernatural aspects of the episode, calling it“ shaky at best ”and“ vaguely unsatisfactory ”.

Time magazine's James Poniewozik also praised The End , describing it as “full of heart and devotion.” Zap2it's Ryan McGee called the episode “a masterpiece.” TV Squad's Jason Hughes wrote, “Compared to other finals, The End is definitely one the most satisfying. ”Todd VanDerWerff of the Los Angeles Times found the episode“ to deliver the character results we've been waiting for. ... The important thing ... are not the answers. It's the education. And Lost delivers that to the highest degree. ” HitFix's Drew McWeeny also praised the finale,“ Regardless of what I think of certain ideas and elements, not just this season, but every season, I think Lost is one of the biggest, boldest and strangest series to develop and complete for a network . The show existed on its own insane terms for six years, and they were six of the best years of television I've ever enjoyed. "

Entertainment Weekly's reviewer Jeff "Doc" Jenson wrote an extensive two-part review of The End . In it, he praised the last moments of the series and highlighted the encounter between Jack and Christian Shephard. She “spoke to and for every parent and child, young or old, who hope for an afterlife where they can see their families again, especially their parents, and especially when they parted with too much unsaid, too much unresolved . I know that some of the Jack / Christian moment as maudlin and sentimental saw. Not me. I thought - and felt - that the moment was painfully sincere. It was direct and dealt with the very real and very frightening prospect of eternal separation and loss. I felt and could identify with the pain, suffering and longing of father and son. "

However, not all critics were completely satisfied. Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger was less enthusiastic about the finale and wrote; “I'm still wrestling with my feelings about The End ... I thought most of it worked very well. ... But when someone who lingered on questions that were unanswered for at least part of the last six years - such as small things like the investor shootout or why the others left Dharma in the power of the swan station after the purge, or bigger things like Walt - I can't say I found The Ending entirely satisfactory either as a conclusion to this season or the series. ... There are narrative dead ends in every season of Lost , but it's like the sixth had more than usual. ”Mike Hale of the New York Times gave The End a mixed review, as the episode showed that the series“ by the big picture wobbled - organizing the mess of mythical-religious-philosophical material that absolutely had to be included in the plot - but was very adept at the little one, the moment-to-moment business of telling an exciting story. "

Boston Globe's Matthew Gilbert also found the finale mixed: “The inconsistent episode offered an abundance of emotional resolution and vague metaphors, some were tempting (Sawyer and Juliet's reunion, Jack and Desmond's goodbye) and some were pretty cheesy (the cork ?! the light? Locke becomes human again?). "David Zurawik of the Baltimore Sun wrote a particularly negative review:" If this is such a smart and wise show, nothing to compare to anything on network television (blah, blah, blah ), then why such a puny, insincere, quasi-religious, white-light, love-me-bear end? ... As soon as Jack stepped into church it looked like he was going to a Hollywood movie party with no food or music - just a bunch of actors grinning idiotic ten minutes and hugging each other. " Gawker's Max Read was also special devastating, calling the finale "incredibly stupid" and noting that "it ended as badly as possible". Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times gave the episode 1½ out of five stars and wrote that many fans wanted "a time error that would reflect the last 2.5 hours and possibly the last six seasons." TV Fanatic's ML House was "bored" and "particularly disappointed" with the finale and that the series' conclusion was "all-encompassing." Peter Mucha of the Philadelphia Inquirer also wrote negatively about the finale and called the series "one of the longest and lamest frauds on television." Laura Miller of Salon.com suspected that the failure of the finale was due to the fan base and called the series "the exemplary one." Example of a pop masterpiece, ruined by its own fans. "

International reviews

The series finale also generated interest from observers outside America. The BBC entertainment reporter Kev Geoghegan said: "Honestly, the series ended as it could only end. It was emotionally satisfying while some questions were answered and others remained a mystery. All in all, the series ended really well with some kind of positive affirmative statement. ”However, Geoghegan criticized the lack of redemption for the“ Man in Black ”, calling him“ a man who saw the limitations of his life on the island and his fate elsewhere "And said that" killing him led to a loss of balance on the island "(balance, as well as good and bad, are recurring motifs throughout the series).

Shane Hegarty wrote in the Irish Times that the final episode "is more about enlightenment than exposure," but admitted that the final scene in the alternate timeline was "kind of a disappointment." He compared it to the similar ending of Ashes to Ashes - Back to the 80s and contrasted it with the ending of The Sopranos : “This series [ The Sopranos ] wasn't about mysteries, but the final scene was so obscure that fans always do still squint to find out. However, Lost's final was not too blunt. "

Michael Deacon of the Daily Telegraph was relieved that the series' plot wasn't just a dream. He was "blissfully surprised" by the "great" ending. The same newspaper reported that critics from the United States (other than those from the Chicago Tribune ) were "disappointed".

Some critics have been confused about the meaning of Lost . The Times' Tim Teeman compared it to a "global scratching of heads" in his criticism. "The questions go on forever: it might be healthier, as an online fan wrote, just to accept it and move on." Steve Busfield and Richard Vine provided a somewhat sober explanation of the remaining mysteries when they wrote in the Guardian : "If you look at the Answers to other mysteries at Lost were over, they probably haven't been found ... Lost will confuse, upset and inspire fans for all eternity. Or at least to the box set. ”The television critic Charlie Brooker wrote for the Guardian that the plot of the episode“ is more pointless than a milk hammock ”and that the ending scene in the church“ could have been an arrogant building society advertisement ”.

Awards

The episode was nominated in eight categories at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards , which was the most Emmy nominations for a Lost episode ever. At the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Das Ende won the award for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series and was nominated for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series , Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series , and Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) . At the Primetime Emmy Awards, the series was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Matthew Fox), Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series (Elizabeth Mitchell), Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series .
