Nope! It was the time spent with those people that would eventually lead him back to the one he loved. Imagine if they never crashed he could either still be pushing the button or have died lonely in the hatch.

Hey, guys help me out...I'm blanking on what happened to Desmond on the island.
Only Miles, Richard, Lapides, Kate, Sawyer and Claire left on the plane, right? What about Desmond? Ben and Hurley pulled him out of the cave and I think he was still alive. But he never got off the island, right? So did he live out the rest of his life on the island? Never saw Penny again?

No he couldn't. Jacob put him there. If Jacob didn't exist, he never would have been there.

You mean that they were just chalk on a wall and didn't really matter according Jacob? Which is why they were stamped on the hatch, being broadcast on a loop, winning Hurley the lottery, etc. Because they were just numbers on a wall according to Jacob. Quite an answer.

Hurley was the manager (#1) while Ben was the assistant manager (#2). They ran a damn fine fast food joint for the remainder of their lives ...

If they didn't introduce the fact that 6 of them got off the island at one time, then the best ending would be their rescue.
If it wasnt for the 'Flash-Forward' episode, which was lights-out great, I would then say that story-wise, they should never have left the island in the middle of their 6 year run.

But when the guy got to Season 6 and all the questions, I started to laugh. Just because of the absurdity of the fact that all this crap happened and there's no apparent reason why other than to get characters from point "A" to point "B".

Waiting to see how this gets deconstructed here:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/show...sh-images.html
'Lost' exclusive: ABC sets the record straight about the series finale's plane crash images
You know those Oceanic 815 plane crash images that ran after Jack's (Matthew Fox) eye closed and the "Lost" logo appeared on our TV screens? Some "Lost" fans and TV critics have wondered if they were a last Easter egg from the producers, a clue meant to lead us to conclude that no one survived Oceanic 815's crash landing — and therefore everything we've seen over the last six years never really happened.
Well, ABC wants to clear the air: Those photographs were not part of the "Lost" story at all. The network added them to soften the transition from the moving ending of the series to the 11 p.m. news and never considered that it would confuse viewers about the actual ending of the show.
"The images shown during the end credits of the 'Lost' finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news," an ABC spokesperson wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.
That means, Losties, that we were not supposed to think that Christian Shepherd (John Terry) is a liar. What Christian told his son, when they were reunited at the church, should serve as guidance for our interpretation of the series' ending.
So let's review: Christian told Jack that he was dead and everyone else in the church was too — some had died before Jack, as we already knew, and some died long after. The sideways flashes then were a step in everyone's after-lives, a way to reconnect before moving on permanently. While there still may be unanswered questions related to that religious and spiritual conclusion to the "Lost" story, the photographs were really just a nostalgic, transitional touch added by ABC executives — and not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
Love or hate it, that's the final answer.
