I was fine with the stuff that happened on the Island.  It wasn't awesome, surprising or anything like that, but it was ok.  But that last half hour was some BSG voodoo B.S. and I was really dissappointed by it.  All the time spent on that" alternate timeline" over the last season felt wasted to me. (even though a few of the "moments" were well done and emotionally powerful)Overall I don't feel I wasted my time with the series though.  The journey was fun and not all journeys can end perfectly.  NickelCrew.net 

i liked itbut i agree with ronin on the "Alternate timeline" although it was an unexpected twistto me at least  

I was expecting so much more for a ending...that ending actually made me give up on I guess Abrams other show Fringe, I love Fringe but I just don't want to be this dissappointed again. I was like waiting for like Loc to come back cause Hugo never talked to the dead loc but he pretty much talked to all the other dead lost people. I was like waiting for this big awesome ending that would end all tv series that we know it but this??????? Limbo for dead plane crash people. :P I was so pissed last night. I can't tell ya how really let down I was for a ending.

The show was great, but the stupid alternate timeline was never cleared up and the whole point of the show was about being on the island, so if they focused on the questions and gave it a super cool ending with smoke monster everyone would have been happy.The ending was incredibly cliche though. Ending the story the way it started obviously clears everything together and makes it cool right? Yeah the first two times somebody did it. Now it's cliche and way to predictable especially when he was wandering through the bamboo forest.

If I would call anything a waste it would be ABC's summer line up, not LOST.  I'm going on record as enjoying the finale despite it's predictable scenes and unanswered questions.  I would never call it a waste.

I'm not going to dwell on this too much ('cause lord knows, I've done so elsewhere), but this to me was an incredible let-down of a finale. A lot of "loyal" LOST fans like to say things like "that's how real life is -- you don't get all the answers!" Blah blah blah. But you know what? LOST isn't real life, it's a work of carefully crafted fiction. And I think the writers are going to come up with all these intriguing mysteries, it is their responsibility to give them some sort of resolution (if not an outright explanation).Also, keep in mind they created a few ARGs in-between seasons, each of which were heavy on things like the Valenzetti Equation, Hanso Corporation, Pierre Chang's rabbit experiement, etc. So, if they truly felt as Desmond told Jack, "None of this really matters," then they sure acted like the ultimate tease with all these weird twists and turns that they neatly ignored.
