I may have not dedicated six whole years to this show but that didn’t make me any less pissed off after watching the four hour finale. Back when the show started, I was a bit of a party girl and unfortunately didn’t watch much TV. When I finally found out about the show a few years later, I was in the sit at home and watch movies and shows online stage and so I caught up on the first 4 seasons in about two weeks. Needless to say, I was hooked.

Four seasons later, I am sitting here and I am still stumped. We were all waiting for this amazing conclusion that will explain everything, including the reason why we’ve all been watching this show for the last six years. The finale didn’t answer any questions, big or small. Some dedicated fans were very upset at the writers of Lost, saying they have been patiently analyzing every single episode and patiently waiting for the answers, only to see an ending that was lazy, empty and completely wrong. I agree.  The last season was the imaginary? What? And even if it was, I haven’t waited 6 seasons for them to die and go to heaven. I wanted them to get off the damn island and live a happy life, or stay on the island, I don’t care, but live dammit. In case you are confused, apparently the whole “flash sideways” that shows the characters living the life they would have lived if the plain never crashed , only with a few weird twists like Jack having a son and Sawyer being a cop, was actually the midway before they passed on which they created themselves. They needed to remember the people that were important in their lives and deal with the issues that haunted them through out their lives, so that they can let go and move on in peace.

Even worse was the fact that the scene in the church was like years in the future from the final island scene. Hurley and Ben already ruled the island for Lord knows how long and now they are dead and Ben is going to heaven? HA! Crucial characters of the last few seasons however were no where to be seen. What happened to Lapidus and Miles? When did Penny die? Why was Claire’s baby dead??? I can’t, this is too much. Finale scene aside, I’ve got a few more questions. What made the numbers, “THE numbers”? Where did the Dharma initiative come in to play? What was with all the island rules, like who could heal (Locke and Rose), who can kill who, who can leave the island and who can talk to who. What connection did the island even have with the outside world? Unfortunately all those questions and many more might never be answered.

There is one question however I can answer, according to the Times, an ABC spokesperson said the following about the wreckage images shown at the end of the episode.”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. The images were not added by the producers of Lost but by ABC itself.” Wow, thanks for that, I indeed feel decompressed.
