In the final part of this Season 6 fan-edit, Desmond's purpose for returning to the Island is revealed, as Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer must find him to help them stop the Man in Black. One of them will become the Island's new protector in place of Jacob.
Original Name: LOST - Season 6
Original Runtime: 203 minutes
New Runtime: 117 minutes
Amount of time cut: 86 minutes
This one is a combination of the remaining episodes with no more "afterlife" ending. We follow the story on the Island while flashbacks reveal what happened to Desmond when he was blasted with electromagnetism.
(EXPAND FOR CUT LIST, MAJOR SPOILERS)
Thanks, Neglify, for watching and critiquing my workprint of this. Your help is greatly appreciated. There is a DVD commentary, and Neglify joins me for the last 40 minutes or so. I would recommend not listening to the commentary until after you've watched it through once, as there might be spoilers.

- "Previously on LOST..." This recap is a little longer than the others, being the finale.
- Added "FanEdit.org Presents" and "A Fan Edit By DriggyDriggs" after the recap.
- Opening scene is Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer standing on the beach looking over the water. This made a perfect opening. They say they need to go find Desmond, then we flashback to a few nights earlier and see Desmond get blasted with electromagnetism by Widmore's people. Throughout this part, we reveal through flashbacks what happened to him. The last flashback is right as he is being lowered into the cave. In my edit, he actually went to an alternate universe/timeline.
- Cut Ben, Richard, and Miles walking through the woods and chit-chatting.
- Cut the next scene of Miles walking over the spot where Alex died.
- Cut them walking into Ben's house and chit-chatting some more.
- Several small cuts were made throughout to improve the pacing of the on-Island events leading up to the stand off between Jack and Flocke.
- Cut all shots of Desmond being conscious after he "pulls the plug." In my edit, his consciousness goes back to the alternate universe when he is exposed to the light again.
- Completely changed the ending. Since there is no more afterlife ending, I had to completely rework Jack's death. Now, as he is dying, his life on the Island flashes before his eyes.
- I chose not to go with the purist ending of Jack closing his eye, and that's it. That just won't work with my ending. Instead, once Jack closes his eyes, it fades to white, then we get a nice LOST style WTF ending. You'll see what I mean. ;-)
- Keep watching through the credits for a bonus scene. I added a portion of the "New Man in Charge" special feature. I chose not to include Ben shutting down the Dharma station. Now, after the credits, he goes to see Walt.
- Added some music and sound fx to quite a few places.
- Added credits for guest stars, writers, and directors for all episodes.
- Removed all the spots where it goes to black for the commercials.
