This article contains spoilers for theLostfinale and the epilogue The New Man In Charge.
Perhaps you may have heard, but theLostfinale was a touch controversial.
Some would argue thatLostdid a mostly fine job of resolving its many mysteries.
In fact,thats the official position taken here atDen of Geek.
Many others, however, have found the finales focus on emotional catharsis over logical resolutions to be unsatisfying.
Thats right: theres an epilogue to theLostfinale that you may not have even heard of.
People dont consider it part of the canon.
I do, but the look on peoples faces when theyre like, What about Walt?
Thankfully, you’re able to find it now on YouTube pretty easily.
So we did just that for you.
What Happens in The Lost Epilogue?
The New Man in Charge consists of two short scenes.
Ben apologizes for that nasty bit of kidnapping business and affirms that Walt is special.
He then invites him to come back to the one place he truly belongs: The Island.
Walt leaves with Ben to a car outside where Hugo Hurley Reyes (Jorge Garcia) is waiting.
How can Walt assist with the Islands continued protection and maintenance?
Thats just one last question the show leaves lingering.
What Mysteries Does The Lost Epilogue Resolve?
Here is everything we find out from the epilogue…
Why Was the Island Still Receiving Supply Airdrops?
Did this reveal that someone was still out there tracking the Island and keeping note of their every move?
All the airdrop indicated is that the Dharma Initiative was really terrible at logistics.
The Logistics Center in Guam was never relieved of duty and therefore kept sending along supplies to nobody.
Why Were There Polar Bears on the Island?
Part of that research consisted of the usual stuff bear pushes button, bear gets fish biscuit.
But there was another part of that research that clearly got a little stranger.
Unfortunately, that means that many of Dharmas polar bears were transported to Tunisia where they eventually died.
Why Did Dr. Pierre Chang Go By So Many Names?
In future orientation videos, he will be known as Marvin Candle, Edgar Halliwax, and Mark Wickmund.
It would appear, then, that someone was not discreet.
What Was With That Weird Bird on the Island?
In the season 1 finale, Hurley hears something call his name in the jungle.
Then in the season 2 finale, the sound is revealed to have come from an enormous parrot-like bird.
What Was Room 23?
Early in season 3, Kate and Sawyer come across a backroom in The Hydra known as Room 23.
The Hydra orientation video reveals that is not entirely true.
Room 23 is more of a memory-wiping mechanism than it is a memory-altering one.
The Dharma Initiative would periodically kidnap Hostiles/Others to glean information about their culture.
What Happened to Walt?
Unfortunately the answer to that is not a particular happy one.
It also suggests that his future is brighter than his past.
All six seasons of Lost are available to stream on Netflix and Hulu now.
