So many great characters too. Jack, Locke, Sawyer, Hurley, Ben, Sayid.

Scenes that always stick in my mind is the creepy Locker/orange-peel smile, Locke pounding on the Hatch door shouting "I did everything you asked, so why are you doing this to ME!?", and Jack laying down on the beach at the end, and Vincent coming to lay down beside him.

The whole ending sequence there was perfect, a complete inversion of the first scene from season 1. The first scene we ever have of the show is Jack opening his eyes in daylight, lying on the beach, Vincent beside him as his lungs fill with breath. Jack then standing up, ready to take charge.

The final scene is Jack in near darkness stumbling back to the beach. We see him lay down, giving up his charge at last, his final breaths leaving his body. Vincent back at his side, and his eye closes.

Jack, the man of science, at last the man of faith, walking into the church, reuniting with his friends. Once lost, now found.

Yes, I loved how the ending was like the beginning.

It was fantastic, the first season was great and going into the show and not knowing a whole lot, it kind of took me by surprise with the 2nd season, realising it isn't just survivors in a 'jungle' and became a whole lot more.

Many great characters and a lot of them were a slow burn for me, where I began liking them more and more as the show went. Locke was fantastic and I was also a fan of Desmond. But all of them were great.

When it ended, I was trying to piece the timeline on when everyone died. My first thought was when the plane initially crashed, but soon realised that didn't make sense and they were alive at different points on the island.
