Just wanted to add, everyone keeps saying that they all died on the island. That was not what the sideways flashes meant. Jack's dad made it clear when he said "There is no 'now' here. Some died before you, some died long after". It was a purgatory, but one they created to find each other and remember after death because they had become so close in life.
They all united in the afterlife, but because time is meaningless, that doesn't mean they were all dead at the same time and the island wasn't real. Those that escaped did escape and died later. Those that died on the island, did when they did.
Some of the questions people wondered about were answered:
Richard didn't age because Jacob gave him that gift.
People have been trapped on the island for ages, likely why there are temple people. Before there were plane crashes, ships were crashed. The ancient statue and temple was likely representing how far back people have been landing there.Jacob's mother was an island protector and the process she went through with Jacob and Jacob with Jack has probably been going for centuries. The island was 'corking' something' bigger and older than just the Man in Black, whether it was literally hell or not, they did leave unanswered.
I know they left a lot unanswered, but given the mess they made, they did do alright this season in trying to explain a lot.
