Well, I'm not upset because purgatory was a Christian/religious concept foisted on a sci-fi show in the last 15 minutes. That guy was not watching the first season, when it was obviously all about purgatory. (The writers simply lied through their teeth about that, too, in their constant denials).
No, it's simply that it was returned to purgatory so clumsily and poorly, and did really negate too much of what came after the first season - ya know, like the five other seasons.
But, I'll get over it. Most series good enough to end on their own terms end really, REALLY badly. I don't see why Lost should be an exception. But it's sad. For a mystery show, the end was important. If Roseanne, or Dallas, or The Sopranos ends on a sour note, I can just ignore that and re-watch any or all of it with pleasure. I can't do that with Lost. Knowing that the mysteries not only go unsolved, but cut short in a lazy, GAY cop-out way makes my enjoyment of re-watching those mysteries unfold nearly impossible.
That's ok, really, I don't re-watch much tv. It's not gonna have any effect on my life. But it still sucks.
And in a 5-year-running message board thread about a television program, I think it's ok to express our opinions about it here. But I'm not skipping meals or sleeping poorly.
