Eh, I'm gonna have to go all Star Wars on Lost (in my head, Star Wars is a stand-alone film, and its official sequels and prequels, which even George Lucas admits contradict major plot points in Star Wars, are all shadow worlds, on the level of books and fan fiction).
So with Lost, I'm going to self-create in my own head something along the lines of what I believe was intended all along - that THE ISLAND is limbo, and the sideways universe is a matrix-like illusion that the Losties eventually wake up from. Some of them, like Sun and Jin, find themselves not waking up after all - since they are "dead" on the Island Limbo - - but it doesn't matter, since everyone else soon finds out the Island is also an alternate world of limbo - and they will all soon or someday move on to full-scale death and whatever afterlife and other alternate worlds lie beyond.
Sheesh, Lindelof and Cuse, do I have to do all the work for you??
I don't take this schizophrenic course often with mere works of art. It was necessary for my Star Wars sanity ... and now I'm afraid it's necessary with Lost to save my soul from being Lost.
