um...yup. That's about exactly how I felt. They had plenty of time to wrap up everything over the last 18+ episodes, but instead, decided to confuse things more with the whole Flash Sideways, and basically pull the "tada they're now dead" moment at the end. I swear, they could have just as easily had it be a kid with a Hawaiian snow globe and it would have been about the same. Kinda like BSG, they had the obvious path out, to finish the series in a way that would have made sense and answered all the questions and instead, decided to go off on the oddest tangent they could find
From what I've gathered, the general consensus amongst fans of the show has been exactly our opinion and I completely agree with you. Instead of tidying things up nicely, which considering that Abrams, Cuse, and Lindeloff only wanted a 5 season show and stretched it to 6 (ABC wanted 7), they had ample time to wrap it all up. Totally disappointing cop out. :\
Huh. I was on the fence at first about when to finish the series, then I caught your spoiler by accident over on Facebook. I then realized I didn't care too much whether/how much it got spoiled -- if the television was good, it was good, and I'd get satisfaction out of it anyway. Having decided on that, I then decided I wouldn't mind reading your recap. Holy hell, I so don't want to watch season 6 now. I may do it someday if I want to get it out of my system, but I concur, all that filler could have instead have been used to create a point to everything. At least parts of it were a fun ride.
See that's the thing - seasons 6 itself wouldn't have been so bad except for the finale. Lots of cool "supernatural" things were brought in during it. The problem mostly is that they all but dismissed it in the finale.
