In my finale Jack comes out of the cave as the man in black and Hurley beats the shit out of him, but is interrupted when an alien space ship crashes onto the island (piloted by Farraday, of course). The smoke monster begins to massacre everyone on the island, and in desperation Jacob appears and instructs Hurley to pull a secret lever located under Linus' bed (next to his child porn collection), bringing the lizard god statue back to life after a thousand years. There's a huge battle between it and the smoke monster, and the smoke monster manages to escape into the space ship before the lizard god can finish him off. He takes off, and the four toed lizard, infuriated, picks up the island and smashes it to pieces and sinks to the bottom of the sea. Smokey then flies to LA, where he kills everyone in sideways land. The final shot is of Jack's eye, with Locke's big knife sticking out of it.
Something in that vein would have made me pretty happy.
Yeah I've been stewing on this for another day and I think my problem was that, while I was never really looking for answers but enjoying the ride, I didn't gave a monkey about most of the characters. Therefore, while the ending was nice touchy feely I was hoping for more imaginative scenarios than "they all died happily ever after".
Not hating too much just a bit peeved that, after sitting through one whole series which basically treaded water, it felt like they rushed it all at the end.
Guess that's what comes from having a lifetime of quitting series at the halfway stage though.
yeah for real, Jack and Kate were the worst characters on the show for 5+ seasons. i can't believe they gave the killshot on the main 'villain' to Kate. secret chimp; :melt :melt

I don't know why people care what the creators "made up" or didnt... I mean... the whole thing is a story of fiction, right? I understand that people want the whole show to have a deep meaning that speaks to the human condition and our place on the planet and the ultimate purpose of our existence and blah blah blah...
It's just a tv show. I had more fun thinking and guessing and discussing this show than any other I've ever watched. That right there is something pretty impressive.
It's not holding up so well to a re-watch. I got all nostalgic for the first 6-7 episodes... but then I kinda stalled and haven't watched another for a few weeks. I want to at least make it to the 3rd or 4th seasons when shit starts to get really weird.

When you put it in those terms, basically yes.

"Nina Hartley jerked people off less than Lost did."

The Wire is next on my watch-a-whole-series list.
But it was still super interesting to watch (melodrama aside).
