Here's what I think happened ...the writer's got sooooo involved in the twists, turns and cliffhangers they developed over six seasons that there was no way they could tie up ALL the loose ends soooo....they used their own hatch, escape hatch that is, and made death and an unexplained afterlife the climatic ending. WOW ! This ending could work for any tv show. It made all the components of the story, the island, the numbers, the statue, the ship, the hatch, Dharma Initiative, etc...etc... pointless. It was the easy, and sentimental, way out and very, very trite.

Yuck.

I have to agree with you there. Why throw out a hundred mysteries and leave almost all of them unanswered?

Regardless I really like JJ Abrams and find that everything bothersome, mystery wise, about Lost is done differently with Fringe where the plotting is more tight and almost everything but the main over-arching story is done in little 3-6 episode arcs.

I used to be a Baptist.
We weren't allowed to go to movies but we could watch movies on tv.
To me that was always an inconsistency.

Oh, okay.

Yeah...so many inconsistencies and double standards...and in the meantime, people on the outside look at us like we're insane. It's sad. I think most people in the UPC mean well...but some things have gotten out of hand Scripturally speaking, haven't they?

To get back on topic...I do feel a bit duped by the Lost finale. I was thinking more about it earlier, and realized that the ending had nothing to do with the previous events in the show itself. It was a reunion for all of the characters before they "moved on" to eternity, but that was it. Any show could end that way, but it still didn't answer so many questions.

'Twas still a good show though...

I agree. Just wasn't the same show without Barney.

Not only did you miss the 'season' ender but you missed the 'SERIES' ender too....guess you will have to NOT ever know what happened. Your loss.

There was a couple of endings they could have gone with, and to me, they took the easiest way out.

They may have taken the easy way out, but I am sure this is where it was heading the whole time anyway. Also, not sure what other ending would have fit in place well enough that everyone at least were somewhat at peace with it. If it had ended in a huge battle then it might have left a bad taste in a lot of viewers mouths, IMO.

I started on the show in the second season, but after I had watched the first on DVD so I have been invested since the beginning essentially. I think that is probably the best ending that could have happened to kind of given full closer to every characters story line and made it believable in the context of the LOST arc. This basically boiled down to Jack's show and his redemption from his falling, IMO. I agree with you about the meaning of Jack's daddys name.....that was a neat thing.
