The Lost Years

So this morning, my girlfriend, my sister and I all met at 5am to watch the finale of 'LOST'. Full of excitement I didnt really know what to expect. I knew with only two hours they wouldnt 'answer' all the silly things and that it would all be wrapped up very fast ending with some meaningful metaphor.

What I didnt expect is that they would just end it with sloppy and lazy writing which left most people frustrated that they had watched for so long to only to be told they had been stuck in purgatory and are now off to heaven.

I have read a few people saying they were happy with the ending and have enjoyed the show throughout. I guess I am with them, but I do feel dissapointed that the double episode was let down by the writers having to squeeze too much in and still leaving massive gaps in the story, even the continuity of events within the episode were confusing..... How did ben get out from under the tree?

I really hope there is more to Lost than just this finale, maybe a prequel and sequel movie series?

Personally I would love to see a history of dharma spin off mini-series.

As when all great tv shows end its a sad times but see it as a journey, its not the destination that matters its the getting there.
