What?

That was my reaction to the Lost series finale. After 6 seasons of a riddle wrapped in an enigma surrounded by mystery, I was looking forward to some answers. Who in the heck is that Japanese guy that "tested" Sayid by drowning him and torturing him? How did he get to the island, and what did he have to do with Jacob and the Man in Black? What was Walt's deal? Remember back when he kept showing up with water dripping from his mouth, muttering something creepy? And the whole thing about Juliet saying, "It worked" after she set off the nuclear bomb?

I was expecting at least a few of those questions to get answered by the end of the series. And THEY DIDN'T. AT ALL. Argh. I admit, I did enjoy seeing the alternate lives of the survivors. I liked seeing them find each other. I bawled my eyes out when Charlie and Claire were reunited, and again when Sawyer and Juliet found each other. I did enjoy all of that, and it was fun to see Boone again (not that I haven't seen him on Vampire Diaries) and Shannon and Juliet. But I really don't understand why they chose to spend an entire season, especially the final season, on one simple concept--how they find each other to get to heaven. They spent the other 5 seasons throwing one question after another at the audience, only to leave them hanging there, unanswered. Not cool. It doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love the show, and think the creators were completely genius. They just didn't deliver when it came to wrapping up the show. Imagine the Harry Potter series ending without knowing what happened to half the characters. That's how I felt. What did you think?
