    I think that even the best writer in the world cannot find a satisfying reveal of 10 years worth of secrets build-up.

    I think the final was the perfect balance between tying all the loose ends and not fully explaining what the island is. (Or rather, they did in some way, they just left some bits to the imagination).

    And to everyone thinking that the finale makes it so the entire previous seasons did not happen, sorry but you just didn’t get it.

      The only thing to “get” is that the show was written solely to drive engagement: constant cliffhangers at the cost of a coherent or consistent plot.

        I agree on the cliffhangers, sometimes unnecessary ones, but I find its plot to be one of the most consistent I watched (especially over 200+ episodes in 10 years), both compared to its contemporary shows and to modern ones.

        Sure, many aspects are conveniently hidden behind unrevealed misteries and mistic rules, but it was done in a way that is still enjoyable and that didn’t feel overly forced.
