That was a good read. And it helped me come to the realization of what's been bugging me about the finale and why I also keep going back and forth on it.

Since the sideways world just turned out to be a pseudo-purgatory, everything about it is flawed and is completely unnecessary. All it did was to serve the viewers with a happy ending. I would have been fine with a much darker ending without the happy purgatory party. Cut the sideways world out entirely and insert more island story, let it end the same, and I'm good.
