What Does The Title Of The Lost Finale Really Mean?
As we all know, Lost is a rich tapestry of allusions, mysteries, clues, references, symbols, and bad wigs all converted into a robust red wine that represents evil and poured into a bottle that is then tightly corked. Nothing can be taken at face value. Everything means several somethings. Probably. Or, maybe.
This is especially true of Lost's episode titles, which are usually so fraught with hidden meanings they are never merely "announced," but "unveiled."
From TV Guide:
The series finale of Lost is eight episodes away and ABC has unveiled its title.
So what title could emulate the entire series and leave us feeling satisfied?
"The End."
Seriously. That's the title of the last episode of Lost we'll ever see.
"We couldn't probably make a more clear statement as to the fact that we are bringing our story to a close," said executive producer Carlton Cuse in ABC's latest Lost podcast.
