I hate to beat a dead horse, but I've still got a few things on my mind with regards to the above explanatory post. My first, and perhaps largest problem with the explanation (or possibly the show itself) is the religious aspect that seems to be the general interpretation of the show. For literally the first 5 seasons, I saw absolutely zero religious undertones in the show. Frankly, I didn't see all that many in the final season until the last few episodes. Again, this type of shit makes me feel that the creator had no fucking clue where the story was going, and finally at the last minute he threw together a piss poor conclusion and tried to make it epic by throwing in religious symbolism. I do not like it. I would have much rather them all be dead wandering around in some afterlife or something. Or even they were part of some weird psychological experiment, or even they were hooked up to a fucking next-gen mental video game type shit. Hell, I would have preferred the explanation that Hurley took 30 hits of acid and hallucinated the whole god damn thing.

Moving on to unexplained events/unanswered questions. I'm ok with a little mystery. Lost was a mysterious show, which thrived on the unknowns. In other words, questions like, what is the island, who is Jacob, why were those people selected, how did the lighthouse show reflections of very distant locations, etc. I'm fine with questions of that nature being left unanswered, I guess. The problem I have is that when there are significant events/questions that seem to drive the storyline in a certain direction (i.e. why did Ben have the Arab kill all those people, why did the others want Walt so bad, why did they make him take tests, who the fuck was Eloise and why was she the only one who was aware of things like Desmond time-traveling, and Desmond in the after-life. Questions of this type I want to know, because it's part of the story, and these events drove the plot line.

I am still very disappointed with the ending. I think season 4 or 5, or even 1 was the best. Honestly, season 1 very well might have been the best.
