[QUOTE="Wicked Willow, post: 54791657, member: 109935"] I still can't shake the impressions that the creators really had no clue about the island's mysteries to begin with, and thus chose to ignore most of the stuff rather than trying to unravel the web they had created. I'm not saying that I am TOTALLY dissatisfied with the finale - there were too many perfect little shots and character scenes in there - but I do feel let down by the creators: LOST relied upon the notion that its weird incidents and mysteries were more than just props, and would make sense to the viewer once the secret behind it was revealed. Well, now it turns out that there was no secret to reveal - the creators themselves made it all up as they went along. If that's not disappointing, I don't know what is. Furthermore, let's look at this from a merely technical storytelling-perspective: the Flash-Sideways world had no bearing whatsoever on the events on the island, and vice versa: the whole narrative strand around keeping the MiB from leaving was completely irrelevant to this post-mortem get together, and vice versa. Not to mention that Jack's son was just a figment... oh really? And what's it with Desmond going to the Flash-Sideways? What's with the shot at the beginning of the 6th season, showing the sunken island? What's with Daniel pointing out that the flash-sideways is the result of him detonating the hydrogen bomb? [/QUOTE]
