Lost' finale's closing images not a part of story - Tulsa World

Posted: 26 May 2010 12:16 PM PDT

"Lost" may have left us with many mysteries to unravel after its series finale on Sunday night, but one of them was accidental.

The last episode concluded with the image of lead character Jack Shephard's eye closing — an echo of the series' very first scene, in which Shephard opens his eyes after surviving a plane crash. But after the final "Lost" logo appeared on the TV screen, images ran alongside the credits of the wrecked plane that started it all.

Some "Lost" fans and TV critics were left wondering if these images were a last Easter egg from the producers, a clue meant to suggest that no one survived Oceanic 815's crash landing — and therefore everything we've seen over the last six years never really happened.

Well, ABC wants to clear the air: Those photographs were added by the network — and not producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse — to soften the transition from the moving ending of the series to the 10 p.m. news. The network never considered that it would confuse viewers about the actual ending of the show.

"The images shown during the end credits of the 'Lost' finale — which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach — were not part of the episode, but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news," an ABC spokesperson wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

In other words, don't read more into it, even though for six years that's all "Lost" fans have done with the series' embedded nods to literature, science, art

and philosophy and the many pause-your-DVR moments and multiple viewings that some episodes have demanded. Lindelof and Cuse, who have said they will not do interviews about the finale, declined to comment.

"Lost" fans may continue to debate elements of the show's mythology for years to come, but this particular mystery has been solved: As Jack's father, Christian, explained in the episode, Jack was dead and everyone else in the church was too. The sideways flashes woven through Season 6, then, were a step in everyone's afterlives, a way to re-connect before moving on permanently.

Love or hate it, that's the final answer.

Obama's Supreme Court choice reflects policy of 'restraint' - Financial Times

Posted: 27 May 2010 07:22 AM PDT

Conservatives paint Barack Obama as a radical in sheep's clothing. Nowhere is this more at odds with reality than in the 44th president's judicial philosophy, which will receive another round of scrutiny next month with hearings for Elena Kagan, his second nominee to the Supreme Court.

In spite of allegations that Ms Kagan is a closet subversive, not least by Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House Speaker, who sees her advance as evidence that Mr Obama is running an un-American "secular socialist machine", her nomination has disappointed liberals. With impeccable centrist credentials - and almost no "paper trail" of decisions with which to impugn her - Republicans will have a hard time discrediting her nomination.
