So last night I watched the series finale of Lost - began from S1E1 back in February and worked my way through it slowly.
Honestly having seen the ending now, knowing that a lot of people hate it I have to ask - why is this ending hated by so many people? While parts of the mythology regarding the island in S6 may have felt a bit rushed, I thought the ending of the show was beautiful and did justice to the characters.
What questions that weren't answered are people so angry about? Ultimately, I think that while parts of the plotting were wobbly at times (later on in the series), the show was always emotionally potent and that is what makes me love this type of show.
Similar to The Leftovers (which is a better show, but that is beside the point: it has the Lindelof connection) - I can accept plenty of unexplainable crazy shit if it evokes strong emotions/feelings.
Ultimately, to me, a lot of the potential questions that could be asked of "Lost" or "The Leftovers", could be answered with "who cares?" - because why should everything have a neat, tidy explanation?
I'm satisfied. Lost isn't a perfect show by any means, but I disagree with those that think the finale flopped.
