What do you think about the ending of Lost and the show in general?

I watched the first series then was annoyed that there was no kind of conclusion. It felt very drawn out and slow.
I guess I'm not a patient person. I prefer to wait until all the seasons have been shown, then I can watch them all together.

The only long running U.S dramas I've watched and really got into were The Wire and Breaking Bad.

So...I didn't watch the end and I can't comment on it. I'm just diverting the question a little :-)

I love Lost ^^ The first three seasons were truly incredible. I've watched them through about 3 or 4 times. The remaining seasons up until the end were not so great :( They never clearly provided explanations for so many things and just kind of winged it in the finale. This problem existed from the first season though because they designed the story for one season at a time instead of outlining a proper explanation from the start until the end.

I liked the very ending when Jack closes his eyes in more or less the same place that he originally woke up, but I didn't like the rest of the ending, the man in black possessing Locke and that strange glowing energy. Didn't make any sense to me and although I enjoy coming up with explanations myself, there needed to be more explained :S

None the less, I really enjoyed Lost and it's not everyday a show like that comes along :)

I watched some of it and found the episodes to be slow and kind of boring. Might be just me.

Ending of Lost was a joke, that was the worst TV series ending i ever watch...

Thing about Lost ending was that they left it open for interpretation.

Dunno if I read this or came up with it meself, but as I understood they all lived out their lives in some manner after the events on the Island, as , I think, was displayed, and then finally when they had all passed on and reunited with everyone again in the afterlife, they were able to move on.

It did go from plausible to sci-fi scenarios, which a lot of people don't appreciate, and the ending was very much unlike what you see mostly, so it's understandable that some people weren't able to cope, but I liked it for an ending, since it did feel like a proper way to wrap it up out of all possibilities.

End was totally shit imho.

They couldn't backup all the random things they were writing about for years, so they decided to end it as stupid and shitty as possible.

Red herring: the show :P The first 2 seasons were rather interesting, 8/10. But the later seasons and the finale were just terrible: 2/10.

Loved the first two seasons. Suffered through the rest. The final couple of seasons were simply boring and very confusing.

The show literaly lost me at some point ...

The last seasons were trash, they only existed because of some 6-season contract or whatever.

The first two seasons were epic, the third I actually still liked, season four and five were just meh but season six with the afterlife was somehow cool I thought. ;)

I didn't watch season 3 and don't feel like I missed anything. I think I skipped through most of season 4 on the ABC site (watch a minute, skip ahead a bit, watch another 30 seconds, skip ahead, etc.). At least, until they announced that the show would end after X seasons. That brought me back for the majority of the rest of the episodes.

The ending? Meh. Nothing was explained that people hadn't already guessed at and been told, essentially, "no, that's not what's going on" -- so that was shit. But I respect and like that the ending was what they'd originally written when the show started. I took nothing valuable from that show as a beneficial human being, only as a storyteller (keep people in suspense, even if the suspense is built on shit that came out of your ass, and you'll have an audience).

As a show in general though, nice premise, great characters, good stories, amazing production (practically unseen outside of a few cable television shows at the time), and generally pretty cool. If it didn't make such a focus of shit it never intended to explain, I would love it. Since it did, I just kinda don't care about it.

Also, a lot of the reason why I started watching Lost (Season 1, Episode 1), was because I thought it looked a lot like Far Cry. :D
