‘Where did Walt go? Where’s Aaron?,’ one ‘Lost’ die-hard asks. By Josh Wigler The cast of “Lost” Photo: ABC NEW YORK — While the “Lost” finale Sunday night certainly provided closure on several of the show’s main characters, it didn’t necessarily answer some of the burning questions that kept fans on the edge of their seats for the better part of six seasons. But what questions were fans hoping to have resolved? To find out, MTV News hit the streets of New York and spoke with “Lost” viewers about their lingering questions. Although she was mostly satisfied with the way “Lost” ended, Megan Betts revealed one line of questioning that could have used some clarification: “Where did Walt go? Where’s Aaron? What the heck was with the children on the island? That was the one thing that bothered me that was never really answered.” Many fans weren’t clear on the resolution of the sideways universe, an apparent afterlife of sorts where the souls of the “Lost” cast congregate after death. “They were playing the parallel universe next to the ‘Lost’ universe, so I was trying to figure out if something was going to happen. Are these worlds going to converge?” asked Vincent Perissi. “It left me wanting more. I wanted to find out what was still happening.” Other watchers were left wondering exactly what the island is and what it represents. “I always thought the island was kind of a testing facility,” posited Derek Hagerty. “That’s what I’m going to stick with.” “As sad as I am to say it, what initially everyone who watched the show seven years ago thought a sort of purgatory,” Jenny Hank offered of her own theory. For certain fans, the ultimate significance of the island isn’t particularly important to how the series wrapped up. In fact, some “Lost” enthusiasts felt that the finale resolved all of the show’s most important questions. “There will always be questions and there will always be things they didn’t answer,” argued Mike Cayhurst. “But then again, there are things in everything that never get answered.” But for the fans who are still left wanting answers, don’t lose hope: executive producers and show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have promised that an upcoming “Lost” DVD bonus feature would resolve many of the show’s dangling threads. Of course, that leads to yet another burning question: can you wait until August for the DVD’s release?
