I seriously do not know what to make of this final episode of Lost. When I really think about it. I'm more than pissed off that there was no big reveal about the "sideways" reality. I mean they said "Hey, it's just a between place before their souls move on." or whatever but then what the hell did it mean when Miles told Sawyer that Juliet said "It worked." Everything about this last season says "we forgot that we didn't realize we actually needed more time to pull off the actual story arc and did a hell of a hack job cutting all the truly interesting things out. Yeah, I got sappy when all the characters found the people they fell in love with on the island but, the fact that they were all dead and it wasn't some phenomenon created by the explosion on the island was actually disappointing. More importantly, all the crap that happened in the "between" place didn't even matter, none of it represented anything. None of the extra characters mattered, let alone the characters that were part of the story that didn't get taken to that church. Screw it, take seasons 1-5 and end it there. It all blows up and that's it, no breaking down the mystique and turning everything into a jumbled mess. Not to mention, that this series that I thought was great actually plagiarized the plot to a movie that was terrible for the same reason this finale was, Passengers. Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson are stuck in a place that they created before they "move on" to wherever. I loved this show and it seems like they writing an amazing story and decided they should run out of paper before they run out of ideas. So many interesting things introduced this season and immediately torn apart because there was no time to explain it. So they smashed it to bits and glued it back together with mud before they smashed it again. Jack becomes guardian so he can lose all his power immediately afterward and have the least interesting fight in the entire series. Hurley becomes guardian and he said last episode he definitely didn't want to and seemed ready to leave with everyone else. I really thought they would step it up a notch. Instead, we got shaky cams, rain, and a corked glowing power cave that apparently glowed enough to illuminate to the outside but it didn't fill the cave itself when you entered. This whole thing was handled amazingly well if you look at it as a rushed catastrophe that had no chance of paying off on 5 seasons worth of incredible cliffhangers. If you want a really well done season finale, go watch grey's anatomy, their writers have some serious guts and went f'ing crazy with it.
