Lost finale

I liked the Lost finale.

I’m still trying to absorb it. As a character story, it was great. I realize the final season wasn’t going to answer everything anyway but we saw a conclusion that was good (maybe made weaker men cry) but wrapped up a lot of story.

I’d forgotten more of the mysteries than remembered anyway. Such as what was Walt’s mysterious powers? I was reading a message board that was going off on how this wasn’t resolved. Shit, I don’t even remember anything about that. So who cares. Certain things can just be left alone. Would knowing what happened to Walt and whatever powers changed the ending or made it better? Would knowing what the island really is changed anything? or why babies couldn’t be born on the island?

The show was great this year. It was just a great show. It ended as a great show. If you want everything answered to a T, read LOTR books. If you can manage to sit through that tedious bullshit, then you can gripe. Me, I’ll watch the movies and let a few things go unanswered like in the lost finale, which did really answer the important big questions.
