It took a blog post on a completely unrelated subject (http://io9.com/#!578...-ending-of-lost ) to put it in perspective for me.
Icarium, and the folks that are already dead traveling with him through the desert.
I think all Erikson was just trying to tell us how bad he thought series finale to Lost really was.

I finally get what Erikson was getting at with Icarium Spoilers, and not just of Malazan Series...

Well, considering how many holes he left in his own ending I doubt Erikson is running around pointing fingers.
Then again I haven't seen the last season of Lost.

I liked reading that post, thanks for putting it up here. I agree with what he said. I would have preferred seeing what the man in black would have done if he had escaped. It wouldn't have been too hard for them to show it, seem as they had a lot of kooky stuff going on anyway. I see that this is what SE has done in his series, he didn't close all plots but he didn't need to, he gave us closure which is great but also left us wondering about certain things and looking forward to future books. All in all it was a refreshing read this morning from a different point of view
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

I like the way that the title ‘Lost’ means different things throughout the series’. At the beginning you think it is because they are lost on an island somewhere, then when you learn about their past it is about how all the are characters are lost, and when Jack gets home to LA he is ‘lost’ and he wants to get back and then they are lost in time, and then they are lost spiritually, between Living and moving on

No offense intended. Your other half is right, and so am I (he says pretentiously with the firm conviction that the ending was bullshit).
