I have been fairly disappointed all season. I feel like they totally blew it. I really didnt think they would really boil the entire thing down to simply morality tale of good vs evil where the good guys literally ride off into the sunset. Maybe the Lost writers planned it that way all along. If so they conned everyone into believing the "everything is not what it appears to be" lie they've been touting since the beginning. There were some touching moments and some fine acting in the last hoorah but really, it was just another easy wrap that deftly avoided actual complexity. From series that's been paying lip service to complexity since it began. They asked us to believe they would do better and promised to deliver and in the end, they didnt. No real suprise there but disappointing none the less. It wasn't terrible but it could have and should have been soooo much more.I don't feel betrayed as I did with Galactica but I definitely feel like I was promised gourmet meal and got McDonald's instead.

Did anyone care? I'm still gathering my thoughts. I'm holding off on discussion of specifics for fear of spoilage. I'm torn, really torn. There are somethings I liked and somethings I didnt. I think they may be the same as the things I've liked and disliked about the show the whole time. I rewatched the pilot episode and while I am not thoroghly convinced that they had the whole thing planned out, I think there was some definitive planning from the beginning. I think Locke teaching Walt to play backgammon was indicative of such. I'm walking away from six seasons not feeling Galactica'd but not necessarily satisfied either. Anyone else?
