I think at some point we're all going to have to come to terms with the notion that they never would have answered every question in order for this show to have any legacy. Even if they create new content in the future (which they likely won't), they're going to intentionally leave some puzzle pieces out for us to figure it out for ourselves. Nevertheless, the extent of mystery remaining in the background is going to leave everyone disappointed.
Unless, of course, you only cared about the characters, in which case...good for you. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This particular ending has been written out for us for three seasons now. You should have all accepted it already.

Anyone sane would know this series is basically The Bold & The Beautiful on a tropical island. The sci-fi elements were poorly written from the start, and they were just there to lure in the extra viewers that they betrayed PERFECTLY at about season 4. Yeah, the time travel stuff is actually plausible, fun and what makes this all worthwhile. The lost sheep are finally home. ..and I also have to agree with LeHah. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I'm glad I was never obsessed with the show as much as the average Lost fan seems to be. For the most part it was just another show I watched, so while I did enjoy it, I didn't care enough about it to get fixated on every single detail. I never really read all the fan theories or followed discussion concerning the deeper meaning behind things that happened on the show. That's not a knock against people who did do all that stuff, but I think that's the primary reason why they had such lofty expectations for the finale.
I wasn't disappointed with the finale. I wouldn't go as far as to say I was satisfied with it, but the show passed the point of ever being able to deliver a satisfying ending seasons ago. For what it was I thought it was good for the most part, and considering how this show has played out over the years it was probably the most fitting finale we could ever get.

Honestly, the last season wasn't so bad if you completely disregard the entire "sideways" timeline. There is a resolution of sorts for the events on the island, though it would have been nice if a few more things were explained.

As far as the flash sideways goes: Spoiler:

I'm probably not the first to notice the similarities.
Henry Ian Cusick in Lost. John Dye in Touched by an Angel. It all makes sense now. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

LeHah, I'm curious: if you don't watch the show, why are you in this thread?

I watched the entire series through on Netflix Streaming, but missed a couple episodes this season.

Maybe he knows somebody who does watch it and they just talk about it all the time and he just kept trying to convince them what a waste of time it was and now he feels righteously vindicated

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I remember a conversation we had during what, Season 3, wherein you told me it was all a waste of my time and that you'd never watch such a stupid show. JJ Abrams does such a shitty job with everything he touches, and how it's definitely below you to watch that shit. Did you change your mind? FELIPE NO |
Just finished watching it since I was at work last night.
My only opinion on this is: What. How ya doing, buddy? |
Every cliffhanger between seasons (except for the revelation of the flash forwards) was related to the mysteries of the island, not Jack and Sawyer. On second thought, though, the finale wasn't that bad. Spoiler:

2.) After hating on the show for all the reasons I knew were true, I decided to get my hands dirty on it because I'd honestly rather pick something apart from the inside instead of just hitting flyballs out into right field. I wasn't arguing in a vaccuum but people like you, people who are devoted to the show, automatically put up a barrier of "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT" and then I can tell them when I rolled my eyes when Clancy Brown blew his head off in front of Desmond or how trite it was to introduce Mr Science Teacher and then blow him up in the same episode or any other number of things. 3.) A lot of friends I respect like the show. Unfortunately, much like Halo, this is now something I cannot see them eye to eye on because it really is as awful as I've said all along. 4.) And yes, it is a show thats below me. I've stepped over smaller piles of shit than this but in the cases of Firefly or the Terminator show or one or two others which I simply don't like, I can see why someone may like them. Lost, though, is just outright bad. The formula for every episode is the same: This is what happened last time, crazy! Heres some more exposition! Hey Hurley is still fat and loveable! Wait, something weird is going on? Smoke Monster / Ben Linus / Island Thing / Statue / Underwater Base / Someone Is Shot. JUMPCUT/RISINGSTRINGSANDPERCUSSIONHIT. It was like someone took the worst episodes of The X-Files from the last three seasons, stuck them in a blender, rearranged them and called them a show. All it is is plot twist ontop of plot twist for 6 seasons and it amounts to - nothing! Surprise! No lube! (Paul Dini, who was a script supervisor for Season 1 and part of Season 2, said that the show had a definitive ending from the get-go but he hasn't said what it was. He was waiting to see what the final episode was before he opened that can of worms. I'll let you know if its stupider than what was used.) Most amazing jew boots |
After wasting my time watching the finale that I downloaded I really only have one thing to say: What a stupid show. I actually feel BAD for watching it all this time.

BTW I think the Smoke Monster was a guardian of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall and Jacob knocking TMiB into the waterfall woke it up and it's been on the warpath ever since. As for how and when it got there...

The only thing that makes sense is that none of it mattered because they were dead anyways.
That's how you explain all the magical bullshit. There is no explanation because none of it happened. To be honest, I haven't really given much thought to the finale. In a way, I washed my hands free of it at the last second and I won't give it another thought from here on out. Whatever the explanation, I don't care. I'm not going to revisit this show, I'm not going to invest in the complete collection, I don't care to see the alternate endings and I'm certainly not going to be following anymore ABC shows. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy that I was entertained and intrigued by something for so long. I'm satisfied in the same way that you would be if you had just gotten out of a really shitty relationship. Sure, you'll probably miss the person and it's disappointing at first, but you choose to remember the good times and accept that in the long run, it probably wasn't going to work out anyways.
