Main Title

A fitting ending to Man's ultimate journey, although a season too soon

First of all i have to say that i have been crying my eyes out during the finale. When it comes to the emotional part of the series, this finale gives great closure. Having said that, i am left with the feeling that it could have been so much more then just a happy ending. During the 6 years Lost has raised so many questions about the meaning of the island, the forces behind it and what the exact purpose of the oceanic survivors are, the Others, etc etc. This final season i feel like all those factors have been turned from vital parts of the storyline (and possible plot) to nothing more then faded memories and incidents. It was as if the writers had a choice to either work up to a solid closure or hold true to the mystery and suspense of the previous seasons but leaving viewers with a lot of unanswered questions. I really feel if they had added another season (or two), the current ending would have been more then just a happy end, but actually a closure which would have done the previous seasons justice.
