   What is your favorite afterlife TV series or episode?
   
   Afterlife Cinema is a topic rarely analyzed in film studies but it is my primary interest as a film scholar. I am conducting a survey here to get your opinions and thoughts on the above question for an article I want to write. (Examples include: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Six Feet Under, Supernatural, South Park, Thriller (w/ Boris Karloff), Twilight Zone, Are You Afraid of the Dark, & Ghost Whisperer.) Please do not include your personal beliefs or impose them on others. (Such comments will be reported.) Please visit my HubPages profile for my thesis & blog links to help inspire your answers.

   contrary to the rest of the world, I loved the final episode of Lost.  Sure, they could have justified every instance in the story to make coherent logical consistency in some real world round up and we could have been impressed, or they could have done just what they did, make it all a process of letting go of one world to pass onto another, another where all our friends are waiting for us, where we all arrive after trials of courage, and sacrifice for one another, forged each of us and showed each of us just how good we can be and are... the sideways universes offering additional fields for trials and movement to goodness, and the beautiful rememberances of seeming strangers realizing their histories of true love with one another... loved that was what the series was all about, some people thought it was a cop out, I thought it was an act of courage by the producers to let 5 years of series resolve there... and I also liked the note that tne of the group, one at a time, carries the burden of caretaker of the I'll End, of God in a sense, and that the caretaker, in this cycle, was Hurley, they put all the right qualities for such a task into his forging... the good and bad part is you have to watch all five seasons without awareness of that is going to be the final resolution in order to get the full "wow" moment at that ending, the dog laying down beside Jack at his final resting place, among the bamboos, the same place his eye opened in episode one the same place his eye closes in final episode, his last sight the plane through the trees against the clouds...
