LOST’s finale _was_ bad. And what’s crazy is they had the makings of a great one all ready to go. It almost feels like they drew the finale out of a hat or something that they passed around the writing table. It’s.. an ending, but not nearly as satisfying as it could’ve been. IMO, they should’ve finished the show with the two realities we were witnessing being two realities created post explosion. No nonsense about Limbo or whatever. If you feel the ending is the good reality, so be it. If you feel it’s the bad one, cool too. If you feel it’s both, also great. The show is largely about faith and consequence. So make the finale about it too. |

It was clear to me by the start of season 3 that the writers had no plan, that they were making it up as they went. That is why they had filler episodes, one which introduced new characters only to kill them off at the end with 0 impact on the overall plot.
The finale was more of a Rorschach test for what you thought the show was about. I even tested a friend of mine on this, making a convincing case about how the whole show was the Island bringing to life the gay subtext between Jack and Sawyer. (She is still raw about that)
I think the best way to understand the finale is with a Nihilist bent: it's whatever man.
