Lost Finale

Trying to work this one out. I honestly thought Jack would be the only one to reject this life they had on the island in favour of the fantasy life, and by rejecting it become the new smoke monster to Hugo's Jacob. This is what the original smoke man did, I think. He goes into the light, discovers that there is this alternate reality where his life is great and he has a family and a great job and everything, then wakes up back on the shitty island, except now he can turn into smoke and kill people and rip out trees. Wouldn't he desperately want to get off this island and go to this other life and find out if it is real? That explains why smokey wanted to get off so bad - because they never really explained why in the show. And wouldn't you look at all the people on the island running around with their pathetic lives, not even aware of this other reality, with contempt, and kill them and think nothing of it? Like he did. Why would Jack so easily and suddenly give up a thriving medical practice, and, the big one, A SON, for this reality on a crappy island where he has nothing! And is dead! It was weird that they all seemed so calm when they realised that their lives were fake. Throughout the whole show, Jack has avoided reality, ignored the obvious, and plowed on regardless. When Jack on the island woke up in exactly the same place and exactly the same pose as the smoke monster man did when he went in the light, I thought, Wow! Jack's the new smoke monster! Didn't see that one coming. Perfect. Hugo is Jacob, the purest of all the survivors, and Jack, probably the most deluded and blocked, is his opposite. Nice. All because he refuses to give up his son in the fantasy world who he loves (probably should have shown that more, in retrospect, instead of the busy father gradually losing touch with his teenage son). Instead we are told that this fantasy world is just their collective imagination while they wait to be together when they are all dead. I don't get it.
The problem with alternate endings, and I bet there will be two or three on the Special Edition Box Set, is that writers can cop out, making one ending to please most of the people, and one ending for the 'real' fans, the one's that will buy the DVDs. I don't know if that's what has happened here, but it sure smells like it.
A lot of people have already said that this Lost finale reminded them of the Star Wars prequels. Whoa. It wasn't that bad. It didn't take what had happened before which you loved and then rape it and then try to sell it to your nephews like the Star Wars prequels did. I love Lost, and while it had a weak ending, it wasn't really about the ending. So many of the episodes, especially the back stories of the characters, where so good. Some of my favourite TV ever. I'll miss it. But there's still Breaking Bad and Mad Men and heaps of other stuff I haven't watched yet. Plenty of things to keep watching.
