Lost Series Finale (Spoilers a-plenty!)

Well, I watched the Lost series finale! It was pretty amazing and I felt really happy with how it ended. Not everyone agrees with me, but I felt like it was a great ending to a great series.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!




So basically, not every question was answered. In my opinion, the show was never about the mysteries as much as it was about the characters. And in wrapping up the story about these people, they did a very good job.

I love how the alternate time-line worked out. I love the overall realism inherent in the depiction of the way things are, and how they managed to make it optimistic at the same time.

The recent episode that gave us the history of the Man in Black and Jacob was one of my least favorites. I don't care about those characters, and I don't care that much about the island's mysteries. Things are the way they are, and it takes the fun out of something when you go and explain it all. In fact, that's probably the thing I liked most about that episode; the lack of clear-cut explanation.

I find it very interesting that all of my friends are split pretty evenly about their enjoyment of that episode. Some loved it for providing many answers, and others (like myself) didn't care about it because we want the story to keep focusing on the characters we know and love.

Kind of like how a lot of people were getting upset with Robert Jordan, may he rest in peace, for continually introducing and developing new characters in his Wheel of Time series while not advancing the well-developed characters' various plots. (Nonetheless, still an amazing series and perhaps my favorite. I highly recommend you get started if you haven't read it thus far!)

It will be interesting to see if approval for the series finale follows along the lines of love/hate for the MiB/Jacob episode, but with opposite representation.

Now I suppose its time to start watching one of the new series that people have been recommending. V, perhaps? (Gotta love anything with Morena Baccarin in it!)
