OK, I've been a fan of this show since the first commercials that a new show was coming called Lost and showing us glimpses of what was to come. I knew that I would love it. I got many friends hooked on the show. The show started to veer off a few times, but still, we always stuck with it for the promises that all our questions would be answered. Now, to be fair, The End kept me on the edge of my seat every minute. I dutifully teared up at the right moments, and in my heart, I cheered on our Lost family through every moment. I feel very let down that the finale left us with far more questions than answers. They pulled a silly Dallas "Bobby Ewing never really died" on us ending. Bob Newhart's "it was all a dream" was another great comparison. I understand that no, not a dream, just an after death trial, but the resulting disappointment is the same. Most of the final season wasn't real and we can all forget the promise of answers to many of the questions that the writers themselves developed. I watched Supernatural for 5 years. Supernatural was also planned for only 5 years and they wrapped up the fifth season with an episode that was clearly written to be the series finale. That show did sci-fi perfectly without insulting the audience and it delivered everything that was promised and more. I'm not that hard to please with the ending, and I wanted to love it. This was a real let down.
