How freakin' hard could it be to "find" an ending for this show? Geez.
Try this one: Iran decides to test fire one of their new nukes and picks both islands not knowing they are inhabited by the Others and the crash survivors. There. Ending solved. I gave up on this series long ago when it plodded along like a daytime soap where nothing ever really gets resolved. That's insincere story-telling... which Desparate Housewives also suffers from. But I understand that the drive for $$$ encourages this kind of story-telling.
