Okay...I seriously don't think I've cried as much in any show or movie since My Girl came out in high school as I did watching the season finale of Lost. But I absolutely LOVED IT!!! It may be my new Sense & Sensibility. I was crying every 10 minutes through the show, then while I put clothes in the dryer afterwards, then while I brushed my teeth, then I went to bed, but had to get up and call my Mom to talk about it and cry some more. There were a few tears an hour later when I finally got in bed and then I was a bit choked up talking about it while doing my Visiting Teaching today and none of the other ladies had even seen it. Don't even say, "Sawyer and Juliette" or I'll start again...They didn't answer every question, but I don't think it could have ended any better...other than Sayid ending up with Shannon. Where was Nadia? That was a bit lame, but the rest made up for it...and Ben!! I was so happy about Ben! So glad I never lost faith!

The finale was earnest and hopeful, and like all things that share those qualities, it likely will attract mockery in some places. But not here. Here, let's celebrate the joy in a TV job well done and well ended, and in realizing that there are rewards in maintaining faith in people and producers alike.

And in a truly great show. -USA Today

It sounds a little funny but I LOVE a television addiction. I love having something to look forward to all week and then truly being able to just sit down and enjoy every second of it.

I really never got into Lost but after reading your post I just might have to check it out.

I was going to write you on facebook to ask you what you thought, but i guess now i don't have to, haha. I bawled a ton too, but probably not as much as you. pigs sister hasn't seen it yet, so I think she'll come up to watch it here, which means i get to watch it again, haha. I do plan on re-watching the whole series though... and yes, i'm glad about ben too :) but I do have to say, I think that I liked Charley and Claire's reunion the best. Sawyer and Juliette were a very close second though ;) same with sun and jin. pretty much, they were all great :)

Yeah, they were all a toss-up. Nicole like Jin and Suns the best. But when Sawyer said, "Juliette, it's me." AAAHHHHH. Killed me! I also laughed and cried through Sawyer standing in the hospital room with Jin and Sun smiling at him. So good!
