Well, when I said "clear," i didn't mean satisfying.
It was clear to me that's where they were going in the beginning, and I never believed it when they said that limbo/purgatory was not what the island was. So that's "clear to me" since I always presumed the worst.
I suppose i slyly hoped that, once they nixed that idea and the series grew into something else, they'd be clever enough to write themselves a new finish. But if all they could manage was a "sideways universe" to be the new limbo - all I can say is I'm not very much surprised, though awfully disappointed.
And that's not to say I think even that idea couldn't have been pulled off well. I just don't think it was. Though, to be fair, during the finale and right after, I felt very emotionally satisfied.
