 Disappointing end to a great seriesDec 16, 2010
By C. Fogus
"sercrow"
I was certain we would see a SciFi, paranormal, Rod Serlingesque type of ending. Instead we got an emotional and spiritual ending that really didn't fit the mold the writers cast the prior five seasons. To be honest, I'm very disappointed with season 6 as a whole. The first five seasons are absolutely classic television masterpieces - has there ever been a more classic cliffhanger ending as the last episode of season 5?
The sixth season seems rushed out the door and not well thought out, from a creative angle. If I were to sum up S6 in one word, it would be mediocre, hence the three star rating. This ranks up there with Dallas as one of the worst conclusions to one of the best TV series ever made. There, I said it. I feel much better now.

 Totally disappointingFeb 04, 2012
By M. Fielek
"obm"
For five glorious seasons "Lost" was one of the greatest television serial dramas of all time. The twists, the turns, the big reveals, the attention to detail: it was totally engrossing. The show had built itself an entire mythology and it seemed that something utterly mind-blowing was behind its many deeply-intertwined mysteries. Then came season six. Since that infamous final episode aired, there are two kinds of "Lost" fans: the ones who insist that people like myself are wrong for "demanding that every little thing be explained and spelled-out for us" and the ones who know they got jobbed and jobbed big time by that bogus season six. The Hanso Foundation? The Dharma Initiative? Electromagnetism anomalies? Vanishing land masses? Time travel? Widmore vs. Linus? Forget that: it's a cork and all you need to know is that everyone will be dancing and smiling and hugging again together someday, except for certain cast members. Oh, I see.
What I'd like to do is take season six and throw it into that pool at the "temple", fish it out and replay it to see if maybe the magical island waters turned it into something non-stupid instead of the nonsensical, supposedly "character-driven" piece of claptrap that originally aired. I mean seriously, no one expected EVERY mystery to be fully explained by the end, but come on. They just flat-out blew off five years of awesome sci-fi mythology and back story and instead delivered a bunch of contrived, nonsensical hooey. The "sideways flashes" were mostly pointless time-killers full of "hey, remember him/her?" gimmickry designed as a cheap swerve and the Jacob/MIB stuff was simplistic, boring faux-profoundity masquerading as good storytelling. It was a massive disappointment.
The problem wasn't that people like me wanted answers we didn't get. The problem was that the show dropped five excellent seasons of narrative because its creators couldn't find a satisfactory way to bring that narrative to some sort of logical (or fantastical) conclusion and instead resorted to a bunch of silly claptrap and flimsy metaphors designed to paint over those five previous seasons with a big broad brush. I hated it and I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Worst ending possible!Nov 02, 2010
By TazmanianD
The whole excitement and point of this show was the mystery surrounding the island and the long list of bizarre happenings that occurred to those on it. If there was any show that ever promised an explanation this was it and it failed in the most epic way imaginable. The end answers NOTHING! The end explains NOTHING! I still couldn't tell you what the island is or answer any of the several hundred questions I was left dangling with.
The writings apparently thought it was acceptable to make up, entirely at random, the story and that us fans wouldn't be T-d off. It's The Matrix and Battlestar Galactica all over again (only worse).

Lazy, Boring, And A BetrayalDec 01, 2010
By Vito L. Ramos
This season is easily the most disappointing event in Television history. The Red Herring side flashes never amount to anything but "AHA! Fooled you!" in the weak final episode. The writers took everything that was starting to make sense in the show, and flipped it on its head. Then kicked it, and told it to shut up. From the new "Temple" people, who amount to fodder, to the new revelations (cave of magical light.....) this season drags its feet and then jumps off a cliff. All the things you wanted to know about the Time Traveling, What Daniel Faraday was doing off the island-and what he meant when he told Jack and the other that they don't belong there- is never answered. But that doesn't even scratch the surface of where they went wrong here.
Magic? Really? You mean to tell me that all the amazing things that happened in Season 1 2 3 4 5 can be explained away by magic? The whispers were what now? Really? Why? Its head scratchingly brutal, and has made the other seasons completely unwatchable on an investment level because you know that the questions you are asking while watching, will NEVER be answered, not in any logical way. Not in the way the show first presented it's mysteries. It's not riveting, it's not entertaining. It IS frustrating and it IS disappointing. Thanks for nothing Lost writers.

Bittersweet and Generally UnsatisfyingSep 08, 2010
By P. Mastrosimone
Prior to season 6, I would have rated Lost as a 5 star show without question. Despite a few weak singular episodes from seasons 1-5, all in all I loved this show and was a HUGE fan. Perhaps obsessively so, I read all the episode recaps (Doc Jensen being my favorite), looked for spoilers and often debated/chatted with friends, family and co-workers over this amazing show. I defended its honor when people would question the direction or label it confusing. I had, up until "The End", a lot of confidence in Cuse & Lindelof as writers.
Despite my increasing worry throughout season 6, I kept the faith right up until the finale. I will say that "Across the Sea", did almost put the nail in the coffin, but I still wanted to believe there would come an "ah ha" moment when it would all tie together. I was even willing to allow a few things unanswered questions or things left open to interpretation, but I never expected them to end the show in such a cliché' manner. I also never thought they would end the series without telling us what the island was. "A Cork" is not an answer, it's a cop out!
I also felt the sideways world ended up being completely useless and I was baffled that our Losties would choose a multi-denomination church, instead of beach, as their final meeting place. Jacob and MIB ultimately, despite a lot of indication that they were, ended up to be of little importance to the overall story. Honestly, as it turned out these fine actors played out to be more filler then storyline. There we were at the end of the road and the whole story of these two is that their non-mother was crazy and one brother flushed the other down the golden island toilet, thus turning him into the smoke monster. Huh?
After a lot of careful consideration, I've drawn my own final conclusion in an attempt to provide some personal satisfaction. I believe the writer's either had another ending in mind and for some reason couldn't pull it off. Or they lied and never really knew how to end the show. But here is the kicker, if you didn't know how to end the series or how to answer questions that you posed in the first place, why not go for another season? I'm sure ABC would have loved to milk Lost for all it's worth. You didn't do your show or your legions of loyal fans any justice by wrapping it up so absurdly. We didn't need Dogan, Lennon or the sideways world at all. We didn't need Sun to stop speaking English for no apparent reason or Shannon to come back for ha ha's. What fans wanted was answers, conclusion and a little something to think about when it was all over.
And hey, if you wanted to go all religious, why not have the island be purgatory all along? Sure everyone guessed it in Season 1, but at least it would have made all the island nonsensical stuff somewhat believable. The audience could have chalked up the millions of unanswered questions as part of some ultimate soul test. Instead you ended the show with footage of the plane crash and then came back and said it was just for fun, no relevance, the island was after all, "real"! Jimmy Fallon said best during the 2010 Emmy's, "I didn't understand it, but I tried."
