Despite feeling more than a bit hoodwinked by all the "oooooh, spooky mystery! What does it all mean?" and having half of season 6 wasted on building towards a plot line that ultimately falls outside the scope of the show, I still think I liked what happened.

But, y'know, still processing.

I like what happened, too, on an emotionaly level.
On an intellectual level I'm pretty disappointed though. I wanted to know more about the big statue and what the light actually was and stuff. I feel like the writers didn't really know what they got themselves into and just pussed out on it.

I wouldn't be as broad as to say I didn't like what happened on an intellectual level. In terms of literary arc and themes, I think the show in general knocked it out of the park. It's still by far the best television show I've ever seen, and pretty much the only one that can be described as "literature

I'm okay with not knowing precisely about the light - I just wished they touched more on the people who originally lived on the island -(like the people who built the big statue and the altar down near the light to begin with).

My friend on facebook who I'm having essentially the same discussion with just said she heard they left so many things open so they can make a movie.

A movie, you say?

Somehow, that doesn't seem like their style.

I assumed, at my most cynical, that it was to bolster DVD sales. I read an interview about the final episode where Cuse and Lindelof said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that they would explain stuff like why Walt is special, just "not necessarily in the episode". I took that to mean DVD special features. Maybe they mean a movie.
