People seem as polarized as Jack and Locke (or Jacob and Smokey) when it comes to the season finale of LOST... and perhaps that's appropriate. In this spoiler-laden video review, I'm happy to admit I fall on the satisfied side. From purgatory to redemption, the conclusion's supernatural summation leaves as many questions as it does answers, but I don't think Jack is the “shepherd” we should be expecting to spell out the truths of our metanarrative that LOST dances with. While most television deals with “whodunits” or sleeping around, LOST plays with life’s larger concepts. This undeniable imagery can be brought out in conversation, and six years of invested hope in these fictional characters can lead to dialogue that's even more life-giving.
