Well, I just watched the finale again. Now that all the hype and anticipation is behind and all the inevitable Loved It / Hated It back and forth has died down ... I watched it again and took it more as it was so to speak.
Know what?
I liked it a lot more! I think I appreciate more of the clever little touches that were thrown in, the first rate acting and the genuine emotion.
I highly recommend that those that have the finale DVR'd watch it again and see how your view of it changes (if at all)
I really anxious for the DVDs to come out now - I would think to commentary for the finale will be interesting to say the least!

I'm watching all the episodes on hulu.com. Help me.
I watched the finale, then Season 1, then skipped ahead to a few episodes of Season 3 and 4 (WEIRD), then watched the finale again (warm fuzzies again).
So, I'm slowly going through Season 2 now.
There isn't much television that startles me and freaks me out. When the smoke monster shows up, it's quite epic. That thing means business!
I never heard anyone say they liked the DS9 finale
DS9 has one of my favorite series finales ever. Bitter/sweet to final fadeout...
I just started watching Lost a few days ago.
In fact, I just finished watching all of the first season along with the first few minutes of Season 2, ep 1. I have to say, this show is starting to remind me very much of Stephan King’s The Dark Tower books.
Things that remind me of The Dark Tower are:
o the guardian of island reminds me of the bear
o when Jack threatened Sawyer to cut off his meds and he explained to him what would happen to his arm, that is exactly what happened to Roland after he had his finger bitten off by one of the lobster-creatures.
o Eddie was a heroin addict like Charlie.
o the first few minutes of ep 2.1 (season 2, episode 1) made me think of the ancient city in which Blaine the mono originated.
As I launch into watching season 2, I now think the Island and its lore are remnants of a world that has moved on.
On to the Ka-tet of Season 2 . . .
I'm only on ep 2.5, but I have to ask, what was Desmond going to do after the food ran out???
Now I am on ep 2.8. I have to say the woman, puerto rican cop is a bit too stereo-typical for me, but in the interest of the show I'll roll with... hope this gets better.

That is addressed. Keep watching.

Well, it's "addressed" in the way that a lot of questions on that show are addressed - the specific question of how Desmond eats is answered, but the answer is never given any explanation.
One of my biggest gripes with the show as a whole was that they often seemed to come up with a mystery, then give a vague or nonsensical answer to it and expect you to be satisfied with that, without going into further depth or tying things together.
I'm pretty sick of shows with big mysteries/twists (BSG, X-Files, Lost, Heroes, etc.) that ultimately fizzle because the writers (despite claims to the contrary) did not know what the end would be or changed their mind along the way.
This. (Nice to see BSG and X-Files in particular called out.)
The ending was a load of crap. (But then again, Lost hasn't been good since Season 2.)
My verdict: The journey wasn't worth it.

We were given the same answers the people actually on the island were able to put together, even a little bit more but not much. The only things we got to see that they were totally clueless about were the interconnections between them all. (Which actually ties in very well with the ending.) So, yes there are some questions that never get satisfactorily answered. To go further would have required leaving the characters completely to show things they have no way of knowing. And since the show was all about the characters, [i]that[/] would have been a nonsensical way to tell the story.
