 I wish I could un-watch this season July 31, 2010

The first three seasons of Lost were amazing. Season 4 was pretty good, and Season 5 was good. Season 6, however, was a complete disappointment. The ending was a total let-down and didn't explain anything. If anything, it made the series make less sense than before. If you're a Lost fan and have yet to watch season 6, I would recommend just not watching it. Make up your own ending, because it will be better.

I've been a devotee of Lost since its inception in 2004. When looking at the series as a whole, Season 6 was, indeed, satisfactory. There were a couple of stenchous episodes ("Across the Sea," for one -- too little, too late), but I wept through the entire series finale. For one thing, Michael Giaccino's music hit the nail on the head. Imposing, yet poignant, foreshadowing yet beautiful. I cried for days afterwards because what was important not only about the final season, but the series finale, was how far every character had come (except for Kate. The writers did NOT do that character justice). The flashes-sideways of what might have been had the plane never crashed were touching and meaningful, and by the end IT DIDN'T MATTER that every question wasn't answered. The IMPORTANT one was. (Funny how we hope for answers on T.V. and in books when we can't get them in life. Why should they be any different?) All told, I'm glad this series had a finale that would NOT allow for any follow-up series or movies. Anything other than the ending presented would have degraded an original, imaginative, character-driven work that will go down as one of the most provocative endeavors in entertainment history.
Loved It Til 'The End' July 30, 2010

Lost is a show that had everything in abundance - drama, suspense, mystery, love, humor, poignancy, terrific acting, beautiful scenery -- well you get the idea. I loved this show. From the heartpounding Pilot episode on, I was hooked. When other people stopped watching and said it was too confusing, I stuck with it. When the writers announced a few years back that they were going to set a time limit to this series, I was thrilled. Things were getting a little too crazy and Lindelof and Cuse had introduced a few too many mysteries. This was a golden opportunity to wrap the story up, answer dozens of questions, etc., and there was plenty of time to do it.
Season Six started off with a bang for me with LAX. I loved it and it felt like things were indeed going to come full circle with the characters. There were lots of episodes to come. And then of course, came 'What Kate Does' and even though I really disliked it, I'm the forgiving sort and I figured things would get better. I did find myself disturbed by the introduction of yet even more new characters (Dogen and Lennon) when we still lacked resolution for most of the familiar ones. C'mon, guys, there isn't THAT much time to get to all the Island Mysteries!
And I couldn't help some misgivings over what seemed the needless, rather baffling torture of Sayid. But I'm easy to please and I forgot about all that for the next several episodes. Dr. Linus featured some brilliant acting by Michael Emerson. Of course, eventually we got to 'Recon' and as much as I adore Josh Holloway it was a pretty sub-par episode that really added *nothing* to the plot. Nothing. Besides, I never liked Charlotte anyway.
But things picked up again with the next episode (and the *true* highlight of the season) with Nestor Carbonell's incredible, career-defining episode, 'Ab Aeterno'. Holy cow, what a performance! It was like a big screen moment on the small screen and one I enjoy watching each time. That brilliance was followed by several more good to very good episodes.
Then, of course, as all true Lost fans know, came 'Across the Sea' which quickly demonstrated that turkeys aren't just confined to Thanksgiving. I actually felt embarrassed for Titus Welliver and Mark Pellegrino. The woman who played the mother was dreadful as was the whole episode. Thankfully, that was followed by 'What They Died For' which (hopeful Lost fan that I was) had me convinced that 'The End' would really provide some soul-satisfying answers.
Now, you have to understand that I actually liked almost all of Season 6. There were some great performances - Nestor Carbonell in Ab Aeterno, Matthew Fox delivering some of his best acting of the whole series ("want to try another stick?" was great), the always brilliant Michael Emerson, Josh Holloway in the dock scene when he was talking with Kate (they didn't give Josh enough to do Season 6 [very disappointing], Terry O'Quinn for his dual role as Locke/MIB.
That being said, I can't overlook all the flaws. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the show or that I won't ever re-watch my DVDs (I'm buying Season Six if that tells you anything) BUT for me, The End (of Lost) was horribly unsatisfying.
Some people say to those of us who didn't like it: you just didn't get it. The fact is, I did. I still found it disappointing and frustrating. There weren't just a few unanswered questions. There were dozens. Some of the answers were rushed (the Whispers for instance), some didn't make any sense, and some just weren't answered satisfactorily (if Walt was so "special" why did he become so "dispensable", why was Widmore so determined to get back to the Island? why, instead of exploring Claire's three years on the island were we introduced to characters like Zoe, Lennon, Dogen, whom we didn't care about?, how did Sayid end up with Shannon instead of Nadia? what was the origin of the statue? how did Jacob make all that money to finance his off-island travels/ventures? why did "mother" kill "real mother"? what was so special about Aaron?, etc., etc., etc.)? And most pressing of all -- why do Lost admirer's hate having these questions asked? It's not disloyal. It's just realistic.
I did like the Sawyer/Juliet reunion scene at the end. I think it was the only one that really hit home for me. As for the rest, the scene with Vincent was great...
Overall - great series with a disappointing ending. I'll watch it again, but the thrill is gone.

Lost is without a doubt, my favorite TV drama ever. Most of what people complain about, particularly "unexplained mysteries", are actually indeed answered. Lost almost never hands you an answer with one or two lines of dialog. Instead, the writers choose to show you their answers by weaving it into the tapestry of the show's narrative.
From the beginning to the end, Lost is about the characters and their relationship to each other being told in a mythical setting, and this is where people loose perspective. I knew from the start that you weren't going to find out just HOW The Island came to be, and I kind of like it that way. It's the equivalent of asking where the sun in the sky comes from. It just exists. Lost comes close at times to religious explanations of its mysteries, and this is where viewers become uncomfortable and dismissive. Many who complain about the ending forget that this dynamic of faith vs reason has always existed between Jack and Locke. Its what makes them tick as characters, and why they are so interesting to watch.
To anyone interested in getting into Lost, I suggest to start at the beginning with season 1. Its not ot say that the entirety of the show doesn't loose its way from time to time, nor does it have an absolutely perfect track record with its plot. However, it is a very rewarding experience, and if you let yourself buy into the show you won't be disappointed.
A STINKER OF A SEASON AND A LET DOWN July 30, 2010

Despite strong performers and high production values, LOST's Final Season was a HUGE let down.
I'll pretend it was some strange "flash-upside-down". I'd rather be left with unresolved mystery than an insulting, lame 'let's walk into the light' ending that diminishes the very parts of the program that were enthralling for 5 seasons.
Well, they made their money I guess. Now they're crying all the way to the bank.
