See fans with this kind of thinking disappoint me. What more do you want?! That is clear answer of what the island is....more things will be explained over the next few weeks. The writers have done an amazing job over five plus seasons and will do us right. If you are not satisfied with the island stopping evil answer then I don't know what to say to you.

dude that is not the final answer to "what the island is". the whole show has been leading us up to the point where the island is a cork metaphor? that's it? i want something tangible.
we still don't know who jacob and smokey or the rules are so we don't know what the island is IMO.
so far we just got a broad idea of what it's purpose is. or jacob isn;t being entirely truthful.
as i said a while ago. books will probably come out after this show is done. too much money to be made and too many pissed off people when they don't answer half of the questions.
i don't like that BS that they want everything to be ambiguous. you can't have major plot points be "whatever you want" over and over again. that's just throwing +%$% at the fan and hoping your audience will fill in the blanks. i still think they will answer walt and why the mothers can't have babys.
more importantly i think that the visions that charlie had were the MIB manipulating him. i think all those visions of boone and eckoa nd charlie were MIB. that is him influencing people on teh island like richard told jacob he would
I think too many LOST fans fail to realize that many things have been answered already but just because it is not said explicity and some miss the clues/answers you end up with people who are frustrated or want more when what they need has already been placed in front of them.
My wife and I have been watching LOST religiously since the show came out and this guy is right. They have answered a ton of stuff already and last weeks episode really made it all click for us. I keep tabs on this post and after last weeks episode and talking about it with her I was about to jump on here to explain what I thought. One guy a couple pages back explained it pretty well and to tell you the truth, it's pretty difficult to explain. All I can say is just wait, after the season finale you will be thinking this was one of the greatest shows ever.
and i hate fans like you guys who put the writers balls in your mouth and pretend they can do no wrong.

for example: desmond turned the key and all of a sudden started getting flashes. that isn't implying anything. that isn't answering anything. that's not ambiguous. it's just a writers technique to get someone to see the future without explaining how or why.
you guys defend them at times when they use obvious writing techniques to get out of finishing something they started. oh yeah Walt, his story is wrapped up because locke said "he's been through enough" ooookay. ingenious. yup i just don't understand it
i said the metaphor isn't an adequate explanation. once we learn the rules and who jacob and smokey are then we will learn the true nature of the island. and flatbush you said that it's a clear answer yet you also said more will be explained. so obviously it isn't crystal clear yet.they only wet our beak. for the record i'm not upset that is what the island is. i'm all good with that. doesn't bother me one bit i knew it would be something supernatural or religious
we are all fans of the show. you have to understand that i'm holding to show to an EXTREEMLY HIGH CRITERIA because it's already a top 10 show ever. i'm just waiting (not so patiently) to see how far it's gonna go down the list... top 5? top 3?
Yo nobody is riding the writers balls. I think its just simply that some people get it and some like you don't and are missing the point. You have ridiculous expectations for everything to be explained at once. You want more than a simple CLEAR answer to what the island is....sometimes a metaphor is the best way to give an answer to something and it works. Just take it for what it is!! Why does it HAVE to be explicitly explained to you.....LOL like the writers have time to go into a whole lengthy explanation about the island.
The metaphor was clear to me and many others but I think your ridiculous expectations are blinding you from seeing the answers that have already been presented.
I said there is more to be explained because there are SEVEN EPISODES LEFT! And obviously the writers are going to answer more questions. I hope you enjoy the last few episodes of the show but it seems to me like you don't get it and no matter what you are going to be disappointed.
