It's always been JATE
WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE LOST SERIES FINALE. SPOILERS AHEAD.
I was one of the fans who actually loved the series finale of Lost. Yes, I was pissed that I didn't get the answers to all of my questions, especially the ones concerning the island mysteries, but in the end, it came down to whether you had watched Lost for six seasons because you were intrigued by the series mythology - polar bears? Dharma initiative? time travelling?! - or because you enjoyed watching Jack and Kate and Desmond and all the other beloved characters and learning about their pasts and watching them grow and change with time. I loved Lost for its complex and layered characters, and so I was happy with the finale because it was all about the characters and love lost and refound and souls reaching across time and space to find one another. I cried during those last fifteen minutes, thinking about how Kate had lived a life without Jack after the island, loving him and unable to have him for the rest of her life. I cried as the scenes intercut with Jack reuniting with all his friends and loved ones in that church and Jack stumbling through the bamboo grove to end up where he had first begun his island adventure, his eyes closing for the last time. And that's why I love the following video so much - I've always been a Kate/Jack shipper and the finale definitely swung our way!
