I think they understood it, at least the smart ones did lol.

My view of the haters is the same with the ending of BSG, in that its totally subjective to why you watched the show in the first place. If you watched it because you loved the characters, then you most likely loved the resolve to their stories. If you watched it solely for the mysteries, or you already hated it and just wanted to see if the end could justify the time spent watching it.....then you were probably a little pissed that the ending was left to interpretation, which is understandable.

Then there's the small group of illogical Atheists (ones that I personally think 'don't get it) who based their hate on the sole fact that the ending had religious ties. Considering I am a Atheist, I really don't understand this reaction at all. The writers and set designers went out of there way to show this was NOT JUST A CHRISTIAN ending, this was why every possible religious symbol was seen in the final scenes to indicate that this was an "afterlife" yes, but not for a specific religion. If I can appreciate this fact, I don't understand how others Atheists cannot.

I think that at least after a while everybody understood it. Then liking it or not comes to taste.
There are the ones that hated because they watched only for the mysteries and those didn't get closure. Others because their couple didn't end up together (and yes, those exist :O). Some Jack haters hated it because in their words "in the end it was all about Jack". I really think that now, over 2 months later there's no hate for not understanding

I don't agree. It wasn't all about Jack, but he was the main character so it's normal that the last episode was focused on him.
If you didn't know he was the lead until that moment you didn't watch Lost very well

I'm usually a Jack hater, but even I could appreciate his relevance to the ending. What the island storyline eventually came down to was what was first introduced to us in the first season. "1 is light, 1 is dark" and that laid the stepping stones for the penultimate "man of science vs. Man of faith" showdown. The sideways flashes where used to represent the "letting go" of the characters emotional baggage, and we all know that Jack would be the last one to keep resisting this because he always had in the past. To expect anything less of Jack would have been a character inconsistency, and when the moment came for him to finally face what he was resisting, it was TRUELY BEAUTIFUL regardless if you liked him or not.

What Matthew Fox did with the ending to his character was beautiful (and again, I don't even like Fox) he finally allowed himself to stop fighting himself (Jacks biggest demon had always been JACK) and in doing this that was his "letting go. This message should transcend what ever fandoms you prefer and be realized for the beautiful character ending it was.

That's a possibility . But I think that the people that didn't like the end it's because of the endgame couples . Or at least most of them hate The End for that which I think it's pretty stupid . Because , the show wasn't all about the couples . In was about many other things which were more important than who was endgame or not .

Exactly. And NO, it's NOT about being pissed at the endgame couples. Yes, I may be unsatisfied with SKate not ending up together, but there is so much more to Lost than the couples and I really think it's quite ridiculous how many Jate & Suliet fans try to pass it off as "Oh, they didn't like the end? They must just be bitter SK fans!"

I think the fact that so many people, not just here on fanpop or other fansites, but critics etc WORLDWIDE have proclaimed how much of a crap ending it was, how so many people are disappointed in the amount of mysteries that were never cleared up [and there were way too many] it all further proves that this is NOT just a petty couple thing.

I know my couple were meant for each other. I have 6 seasons of ON-SCREEN PROOF. Just because the writers decided they would rather go the bullshit cop-out route and put Jate & Suliet together JUST SO THAT KATE NEVER HAD TO ACTUALLY CHOOSE, hey that's totally fine! Say what you want, tell me I'm just making shit up - fact remains, Damon & Carlton themselves publicly acknowledged numerous times that the ending was shit.

You know, I had made another comment before this, but I just realized that you aren't worth it.

You're rude, you try to antagonize me, you mock me... But yet if I were to give you the response you deserve, somehow I'm made out to be the bad guy.

So just leave me alone. I really believe that all the bullshit in my life right now is more than enough to worry about. I don't need petty people like you trying to start more drama.

xoheartinohioxo, If you don't want to start drama saying that Damon & Carlton called the finale "shit" was clearly not the way to go. I say this because in their own words "they ended it the way they intended it to end" how you jumped to the conclusion that they wanted a shitty ending I'm not sure. Unless you have PROOF of that statement people are going to treat you exactly how they see it; as an angry pissed off troll.

I'm not trying to insult you, I'm merely pointing out the reason why people reacted to your comment with hostility.

Oh, because none of you have ever insulted something I like?? You act as if you're all so perfect but it's bull.

Don't even try to play the "and we are supposed to be quiet" card on me Nanda. You KNOW that's bullshit. There have been way too many occasions where I'm the one getting attacked, yet if I in any way defend myself - I'M THE BAD GUY!

I asked as nicely as possible to just be left alone so just leave me alone. I'm sick and tired of never being able to say ANYTHING you guys disagree with without having it immediately jumped on and told how wrong I am etc.

How did I start a fight Nanda?? Seriously, I even came back and apologized for letting my emotions from shit that's going on come off too aggressively:

lol sorry, today has just been a really rough fucking day, my stepdad is in the hospital for a third fucking time... and I know I probably got a bit... passionate to say the least!

I stated my opinion, but as usual, you guys can come and say whatever you please and it's okay, but somehow I'm still the one "starting a fight".

I've asked more than once to just be left alone, I don't want or need any added drama in my life, yet you just can't let me be.

Whatever. Like i said before, it's ridiculous how YOU GUYS COME AFTER ME, AND I STILL END UP GETTING BLAMED.

Leave me the hell alone. I didn't come at you, I didn't copy your comment JUST TO START SHIT, and I'm tired of talking to hypocrites.

Why don't we just be honest - It doesn't matter what I say or do, the moment I make one statement that isn't pro Jate or Suliet, you guys jump at the chance to start shit with me and then try and blame it on me.

I've tried being as polite as possible with you guys, I've tried ignoring the purposely taunting comments here AND on other spots... I can't win with you guys and I'm not gonna bother trying anymore.

You're a bunch of bullies, plain and simple.

And you're the worst kind of bullies too. You try to play innocent in everything. I know I'm not the only person that you guys do this to, so it's all good. Keep playing your games and trying to start shit.

I'm sorry for your stepdad. And it seems that everytime you get into something with us something bad is going on in your life.

OMG! I didn't even say anything about that. If you believe SK love each other, is meant to be or whatever that's your business, I don't expect people to have the same opinion as I do. And again, th only thing I said was about Darlton saying The End was shit and that isn't right

I'm so sorry that my life is shit Nanda. Can't really help it that I can't seem to catch a break.

And you know what really bothers me, the fact that I wasn't even directing my comment, the one about being rude and antagonizing, it wasn't even directed at you. But obviously there's a reason you felt it was and I'm sorry but that speaks volumes.

I didn't mean like that. But you can't, every time your life isn't in a good place, starts to go after people. I don't mean now, just generally. You said yourself that that was the case with the Lost Awards thing.

And I didn't feel it was directed to me, but to everyone. Anyway, this is a pointless argument that is spamming this pick. This is not the place to discuss this

Holy shit Holly, calm down. If you don't want a fight, leave it be but don't play the victim. There's a reason you're always getting into arguments and it's not because the world is out to get you. Don't act like people are picking on you when you sure dish out your fair share.

I'm tired of talking to hypocrites.

I've noticed that seems to be your favorite word to throw around and It's pretty obvious as to why. You are one.

I'm sorry your life is crap right now but this is effing FANPOP! Nothing on here should ruin your day and if it does that's a problem.

Holly, I would just like to point out that my comment directed at you was in NO WAY meant to antagonize you, it was just a constructive criticism that was meant to point out the reason people responded the way they did.

We all have our favorites, and everyone is WELCOME to defend their own. That's what makes a fanspot work. It would be boring to have people constantly agreeing on everything, its not much of a discussion if everything is one sided. However, where there always seems to be trouble (and again, this is not specific to you but to online communities in general) is when someone takes someone else's opinion as a PERSONAL ATTACK. This is when things get ugly, and in your case we never meant to verbally attack you.

If things are seriously bothering you in your real life, I suggest taking a break from a fansite and deal with those issues. Pent up anger and frustration always needs to go somewhere (or else we all would start murdering each other) and its better to talk these problems out, rather than taking your anger out on us because we had a different opinion than yours. I've personally had these kind of problems myself, and have caught myself more than a couple times being a massive bitch (again me, not you) to people on here. When I catch myself doing this its probably a good time to quit while I'm ahead since anything from that point on is only gonna make me madder.

This is what I don't get though... I fully acknowledged that I let my emotions make me a bit more aggressive than need be. I APOLOGIZED and tried to move on. Yet nobody is harping on the people that came at ME and wouldn't just let it be.

But I'm just making it up that I'm being attacked??

I'm not saying everyone in the world is out to get me or anything, but I'm sorry, a few of these girls genuinely DO make a point to mock me, to talk shit about me etc. And somehow, some strange way, even with instances like this, where on my own, it wasn't prompted by someone calling me out on it or anything, I came on here and made sure to make it clear that my rant was just that, a rant! It wasn't directed at ANYONE personally! So explain to me this - how is it still being said that I started this stuff with anyone??

Where do you see being the one to start up the drama?? YES, I responded when provoked, but I'm not at fault this time.

I'm not perfect. I've STARTED shit before & I can admit that! I'd just really like to know why so many people buy in to this "we're so innocent & Holly is always the instigator" act.

I wonder if your opinions would change if you had ever been told to go and look at the horrible comments they make about me on the Jate spot. Do you know that they go on and on, for multiple pages sometimes, trashing me and my every comment?

It's real innocent huh.

Although I was expecting something different at the end, perhaps not so trivial as - the good one and the bad one and a mystical place where that bad one is being kept and there is someone who protects the world from the bad one, and protect the light form the rest of the world... I am smth. like happy that the ending was like this. After all that stress, disaster, sadness, misery, death etc. they all were able to be in peace (not like- dead, but they at last were able to stop worry about that all).

They could finally move to another dimension.
