Even though Purgatory is not what the ending was about...

Yes, you're right, of course, but that's what people always want to talk about. It's an irritatingly persistent rumor, and remarkable how much nobody remembers the character explicitly saying the island was real.

I'm pretty confident that most of the people who say that have never actually watched the show. Because I refuse to believe someone could be dumb enough to believe it when an important character virtually looks directly into the camera to say "Everything that happened on the Island really happened."

Well, sorta - the writers confused the issue by making purgatory relevant to the last season when it wasn't before. Had they not done that, a lot fewer people would be confused.

Eh, if you have watched 6 seasons of a show and you can't be bothered to actually pay attention to the dialog in the last episode that is on you.
