And that's the one reason I'm, on the other side of the equation, pretty cool with the ending. It was clear it was intended that the show end that way (not necessarily the sideways world being limbo, but the characters discovering themselves in limbo, and linked emotionally through their ordeals and growth, and then moving on). So on the broad scale, I'm ok with that being what happened.

But yeah ...

It didn’t really made a connection with all the mysterious happenings on the island and in my opinion it was a bit of a slap in the face. I felt that they stumbled at the finish line and didn’t deliver an ending worthy of the roller coaster ride they put us through for 6 years.
So there's that. And I think the ending was a great ending to Season 1, a crappy ending to Season 6, and a pretty lame ending to all six seasons.
