In case you don't recognize it, this is a picture of a bird off the coast of Louisianna. When I look at the picture it makes me want to cry.

LOST
And when Jack’s eye closed and the screen went to the trademark ending of just saying “Lost”, fans all over the world cried foul.
As far as I’m concerned, we got them. It was always about Jack and his experiences on the Island.
All the mythology was just a bit player. It didn’t matter what the numbers meant. It didn’t matter what the light was under that carrot-shaped rock. It didn’t even matter what the "Man In Black"'s name was.
It only mattered that Jack realised his destiny. And in the end, once more it was dialogue that was used to explain it to us, this time by way of his father, the aptly named Christian Shephard.
“The most important part of your life is the time you spent with these people. That’s why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you…to remember, and let go.”
In other words, we the writers want you to enjoy the story for what it was, a story about a set of characters. We had subplots, we had cliffhangers, we had multiple mystery boxes, but at the end it was always about the characters. Remember them, and let go. It’s over.
