I had the last episode of Lost waiting in iTunes for nearly a week to be able to have time to sit and watch it and although the first half of it was OK in pulling some of the strings together, the second half made me want to puke. It turned totally chick flick and religious in nature. I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that the christian religion had to take front stage at the end with them going towards the light from the church.

The whole series had magic in it and for the writers to focus on the hocus pocus of religion should not be so surprising, but it did mean that the ending could have been as inventive as many of the stories from all of the show. They could have had the Smoke monster finish them all off. They could have had some sort of final ending on the island rather than the stereo typical ending that pandered to the need of christians to validate their beliefs.

There was a need for there to be a final ending to answer the basic questions of why and so on but I still think that they could have had a messier ending instead of the too easy all riding off into the sunset that they gave us. That’s a Hollywood thing though, they think that the happy ending is the what the public wants.

Well that is that the confusion is all over and the actors will have to leave Hawaii where they did the filming and go get a proper job.
