Epic. I loved the episode. And the ending with Jack dying was touching.

Maybe I'm confusing your thoughts here, but the whole island and all was not "purgatory", just the sideways universe was.

These were some of my biggest questions at the end. But I think they touched on this. When they ran into Ana Lucia, I believe Desmond said she wasn't ready. Also, Ben knows the truth, but says he is not ready. I think perhaps for some, the island wasn't their defining moment in life, and so the gathering with the other survivors to move on wasn't their gathering. However, for some I would question that, such as Echo.
Btw, I heard this morning on the news that they left enough unanswered questions that they're going to have explanation shows next season. Such as, "How I Met the Smoke Monster" and such.
I have not checked if this is true. I'm assuming it's a joke until proven otherwise.
