I loved “Lost”, up until the series finale. On a personal level, I consider myself a neo-Pagan and am quite interested in all things metaphysical; as an ending for a complex, multi-layered story that I have invested in…. NOT SO MUCH.

I said that I may have enjoyed it more simply because every single reviewer said the ads, except the Target ones, were pissing off. Also, think about it, without breaks, your mind is set on the episode for the full one hour and 40 minutes, no interruptions, no loss of train of thought. I used to watch shows with ads before, so I do know both sides.

I totally agree. The story was always more about the characters than the plot for me too, but the problem with this season was that the character moments were extremely weak and far between. In previous seasons, characters developed and changed in all but the worst episodes. This season there was very little character development at all until the end, unless you count Jacob and the MIB, who were both so unlikable that I couldn't even be forced to care about them. Since the season focused on these two characters, it felt almost self-contained to me, detached from the rest of the series. I thought things would somehow come full-circle in the flash-sideways, but the fact that it turned out to be purgatory made it inconsequential. There are too many internal inconsistencies for the flash-sideways to be satisfying. If this was supposed to be the place that they made so that they could be together before they passed into the next life, then what's the point of them not knowing one another? Also, the whole “let's bring the entire cast back together for the final moments of the finale” concept is such a cliche, overworked audience-pleaser. I honestly held the writers to higher standards than that.

What a disappointing final season to what could have been one of the greatest television series of all time…
At least I can still re-watch seasons 1-5.

Sayid with Shannon made sense – he could be 'a man in love' with her, without baggage. Had he been w. Nadia, he'd have been 'the torturer' – He felt like a 'good guy' and whole with Shannon.

How can you possibly comment in this thread having seen only 1 of the 120 episodes?? Fail!

Just build the ads into the shows with even more product placement

The only complete episode I have ever seen of Lost was the Series Finale one and I thought it was terrible. Boy, am I glad I never wasted my time watching this show!

But fans of the show rejoyce! There will probably be a Lost movie in which the cast goes through “The Light” and they find themselves back on the Island right after the original crash.

Monkey — Darlton have actually said that the footage of the plane wreckage was just a tribute to the show, not part of the finale. So, no, it was not the Ajira flight. They managed to confuse a lot of people with that 10 second clip.

that highlights some of the most memorable moments of the series, fans were left with a love letter super-great for those of us who had invested six years of our life in this unforgettable odyssey.
