There hasn't been much talk about this excellent season. What did you all think?
Here's one guy's thoughts:

If there were some flashbacks to the `40s we'd all have more to talk about.
I find it amusing that the show went back to 1977. Id never dreamed anyone would want to.

the only thing I didnt like was Miles yelling out: DAD!!!!

An intrigueing tv show.
How many years ago did they first show a glimpse of that colossal statue's 4-toed foot? I believe the network asked them to lay off it.
Very happy to see it explained a bit more. And Jacob too.
I jsut hope next years grand finale wraps up all the loose ends.

I liked the view of seeing The Black Rock sail to the island as well.

Which dates that scene to about 1845!

 

[MrBern]

It was nice seeing a resolution for the characters, Bernard & Rose, and the dog.
Whoopie Goldberg had been asking about them recently, but the actors didnt give up any spoilers.

[MudInYerEye]

I feel so had. Steaming bowl of rancid tripe.
Other writing staffs should take note of THE WIRE's ending in regards to the proper wrapping up of a series.

*SPOILERS*

First off, MUD!!! Where you been man?! Great to see you here!
Now let me be the minority by saying I feel satisfied by the series finale of LOST.
As a seriously dedicated fan, I felt frustrated by the direction of Season 6, realizing quickly that they really were not going to address the questions/ mysteries of the previous 5 seasons, And the ones that were answered were just casually put out there. This final season began a whole new storyline, and I wondered why the heck the writers would do such a thing, considering how much explaining they had to do. When the Jacob/ Man in Black story was finally told, I felt ripped off. If this was the "Big Picture" we were waiting for, well...I totally didn't care. With three episodes left, they were STILL gonna be mysterious about the Island, what it really is, what's at stake, etc.
Tell us SOMETHING.
Well, in the finale, we know that the Island and it's mysteries are NOT what the story was about after all, and in the end, all the unsolved mysteries didn't really matter.
I was moved by this episode, and thought several of the scenes were some of the most touching I've ever seen on television.
I'm not naive enough to think that this is always the ending the writers had in mind. This story line began in the final season, so what they did essentially was give a resolution to this season, not the entire series.
They left so many questions unanswered for 5 seasons that this was truly their only way out of having to prove they all meant something.
But still for me, in the words of Juliet, "It worked."

 

[MudInYerEye]

I'm shocked that you'd accept such a flagrant cop-out. The whole thing reeks of sloppy, lazy writing. Never again will I pay any mind to an Abrams product.

 

[MrBern]

I gotta go with Mud on this. They avoided an ending and have not admitted that they really didnt know what they were doing. Its like a pyramid scheme.

and they all died happily ever after...

epilogue - 'we want answers'

Apparently the DVD has 12 minutes of epilogue footage that wraps up some details like where the Dharma food drops came from & what ever happened to Walt.

[Chasseur]

I have to agree with feeling ripped off. What a dissapointment, a wrap up with no wrap up... Made me about as mad as the end to Battlestar Gallactica...

Hmmm... I watched the first season because family and friends raved about Lost. I tried to care about the endless parade of murderers (it seems like everyone had killed someone in the neverending stories) and at first thought some of the interweaving plot lines were well-written.

But at some point I got tired of people 'dying' and then coming back somehow. And one day I finally said to my family, "It's an endless series of red herrings," and stopped watching.
