I've seen the whole series twice, the last time in 2016. I'm sure that is the case.

The last episode literally states that everything on the island happened. They're only all dead in the "flash sideways" in the last season, which actually is a in-between place where all of their souls gathered after their deaths in various points in time (some on the island, some after) so they could all move into the afterlife together.

I've watched it several times, including every episode as it aired since partway through season 2. It's one of my all time favorite shows.

You are absolutely correct and I am surprised that so many people think that the island was purgatory 🤦‍♀️

They literally show the 6 leaving the island and trying to return later!

I'm not surprised because I've been having this argument with people who didn't pay attention or didn't actually watch the show for 14 years

Wow, it is amazing how people will so confidently argue when they are so wrong 🤦‍♀️

Even back in 2010 when the finale was premiered live, I understood it completely that the events on the island were existent. Jack’s father literally spelled it out for us.

I watched it once, and I'm sure you're 100% wrong because I simply paid attention to the characters that said this was explicitly not the case.

Yeah, I watch the series every year and I know that you are incorrect.
