I loved the Lost finale. It was obvious from the two big flashback episodes earlier in the season, (Ab Aeterno & Across the Sea, I think) which were extremely short on the promised answers, that we were not going to be getting any. Instead, it was about rooting for the characters rather than getting invested in the mysteries of the Island or the Sideline. And the latter device was an excellent mechanism to have our cake and eat it too. The lives and deaths we had watched meant something, but we also got reunions and fulfillment of the characters.
