Before I read anyone else’s thoughts…
There’s only one part I don’t understand at the moment—the rules of the sideways world, and why some people aren’t “ready” yet (like Ben! What was the deal with Ben?)—but altogether I am thoroughly satisfied with the episode, the conclusion and the entire conceit.
I long ago said to myself that when the end came, I’d either say “boy, that came out of nowhere,” or the total opposite “why didn’t I see that coming?” and I have to say the latter is true. It makes perfect sense, and the whole thing is based upon thoughts I had all the way back in season 2. Only I didn’t know yet what my realization meant.
Now I do, and I can’t be happier with the ending. Not because I was “right” all along, but because the show stuck to its guns and made the entire thing about the characters and their stories, from day one to the last.
Thanks LOST. To paraphrase Ben, this means more to me than I can put into words.

i think all the people in the church are going to heaven, and ben didn’t go in because he’s truly bad and ends up in hell. so he didn’t go in either because he’s going straight to hell or he has some repentance to do.

Ben didn’t want to let go because he finally has alex back and can start a family. Also he was disgusted for what he did to not just Locke but everyone and didn’t deserve to go, or he felt that way atleast

I didn’t get the rules of the side-ways world, either. Major confusion. But it was a good ending and it made me happy in a sad sort of way. I can’t believe it’s over. :( haha
