For things to be completely coherent and understandable for the majority of society, they need to be somewhat predictable and uncreative so that they mirror what members of the public have seen before and can therefore understand.

Lost was always a show that raised questions, made people talk, created crazy fan groups online and forums where people gather and discuss theories... I think it would've been somewhat disappointing if the conclusion of the show didn't continue that nature of questioning, thinking, and discussing among fans. I think the show was relatively coherent if people actually watched every episode... it left a lot of things open but that doesn't mean that it is incoherent.

I like that even after the finale people are still discussing, theorising, and addressing ideas that were left open.

I don't want everything to be coherent and understandable.
I hate having everything explained to me like i'm an idiot.

So there's a few loose ends & red herrings, so what. Happens in every show.

Think about that scene in The Matrix Reloaded with The Architect. How lame was that? Just sitting us down and explaining a bunch of stuff from some all knowing being? I'll draw my own conclusions thank you.

[boo boo]

There's a difference between leaving things a mystery and being incoherent. The show itself isn't hard to follow if you pay at least a little attention.

Yeah I'm disappointed they didn't answer some of these things. It could be because the writers were lazy and didn't really have any answers, it could be because they just wanted to let the audience have fun with them, it could be because they're saving stuff for some kind of spinoff.

The question I most want answered is why there were so few Australians on a plane coming from Australia.

This bugged me, too!

Jacob was a racist. I don't think he likes black people either.

fluff.

I finally got around to catching up on the Lost eps after 6x13 and watching the finale. It was more spiritual and emotional than I expected, but without being maudlin. I think they wrapped it up nicely and I don't mind that there remain unanswered questions but like some of you, I'm wondering what happened to Walt. And I'm amused that they kept the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet love rectangle going until the end.

[boo boo]

I found it kinda odd that Jack was cool with his wife and Sawyer making out and sh*t, and Kate was cool with it too. Man those 4 really trade it up a lot, even in the afterlife.

And why was Sayid with Shannon and not with Nadia? Wtf. He spent a good portion of his life trying to find this woman and he gives it up for a chick he shagged once? I never bought into the Sayid/Shannon love angle.
