Every other show will be held up to this one, and it's good to have something to aspire to. This season kind of sucked - the mystical temple, magic waters, and mythology was overdone and hammered into the scripts. I don't know anyone who didn't get the ending - it's pretty obvious if anyone watched the series, or even this season. But the NYT poll said only 2/3 of the viewers liked the ending, and I'm in the unhappy part. First of all, when I say I want a happy ending, I don't want the protagonist to DIE in the last 5 minutes. And is there really a happy? Because if Jack's OWN SON wasn't real in the sideways world, who's to say all the happy reunions were real? Okay, he gains his LOST pals, but loses a son. Yeah, maybe the son wasn't real, but then what about all the people we know? Logic disconnect. I loved this show – it showed that television can be art.

I truly enjoyed this show and the fact that it was thought provoking on many levels. I really appreciated that the creators always wanted us to think about something whether it be a book a character was reading OR a song that played etc..IMO it was almost like a game in that you second guessed EVERYTHING that happened in order to make sense of certain situations. Alot of the fun was the next day talking to famiy & friends about their thoughts. I will truly miss this this show. There will be ALOT of series that will be created to try and copy this formula but I doubt any will be as well written and thought out. Tom,

To each their own. It's the people who NEVER watched it who attempt to denigrate it that piss me off. I was disappointed in the show when it was spinning it's wheels in season 2 and into season 3. Once it found it's feet again I consider it one of the best written shows of the last decade. I have no problem with someone who actually watched the show and decided they didn’t like it.
