Michael Emerson is still answering questions about the series finale of “Lost.”
He says that fans are still asking him about the ending and he’s boiled it down to fourteen words to explain it all.
“Everybody was dead, but the plane really crashed, everything on the island really happened,” he tells SciFi Wire.
Emerson, who played Ben Linus for five of the six seasons of the show, says that he liked the finale.
“It’s such a good finale, you know, humane and soulful. The antechamber to the afterlife. It’s what people fantasize about,” he says.
If that’s the case, and they are all dead. What about the Pilot, Sayer, Kate, and a few others that left on the plane from the other island?
Yay! He’s basically just laid out the extremely obvious things that I still can’t believe people think is ambiguous.
@Gary: Kate, Sawyer, Lapidus, Richard, Miles and Claire left the Island and presumably lived long, happy lives before finally succumbing to old age. When they did die, however far in the future that was, they went to the flash-sideways. Because that place exists outside of time, it doesn’t matter when people died, they all appeared in that place together.
Remember Christian’s line to Jack when they were in the antechamber? “Son, here there is no now.”
