That's my reaction to the series finale of ABC's Lost.
I guess the showrunners weren't kidding when they said it was a spiritual show.
No, they didn't explain everything – in fact, they left a great deal unexpained – but I think that's just as well.
I'd still kinda like to know what the polar bears were doing on the island. I know they had something to do with the Dharma Initiative, but what? And what purpose did the numbers serve? And … well, okay, they left most of the details unexplained.
But any explanation probably would have seemed silly anyway. Best to leave it to our imagination.
What they did instead was cut to the heart of the show, which was never the mumbo-jumbo mythology, but rather the emotions and soul-searching yearnings of the characters. And they did it in a way that, as you'll know if you watched it, spoke directly to the concerns of this blog.
Again I say … wow.
And now it's over. So what the heck am I gonna watch next year?
