    No matter what is said about Lost it will go down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time. There's no doubt about that whatsoever.

There's no doubt about that whatsoever. For six years the Island has dominated millions of people's lives with the endless mysteries and myths, and had us breathe every breath with each one of the members Oceanic 815. The big question was how would it all end? Sadly, not the way a show of this magnitude deserves. Whilst I can only speak for myself, i'm sure im not alone in feeling hugely let-down and disappointed in what was an average ending for an exceptional show. Rather than answer any questions, they created more! But I suppose in away that's what made Lost what it is, and the one thing that cannot be faulted regarding the ending is the emotional aspect in bringing closure to the protagonists stories which is carried out superbly in some deeply moving and poignant scenes to bring each characters story to a close, also they have thought carefully about how each person will interpret it as you can interpret whatever way you wish, which in a way is very clever but in a way is a cop out as surely its the writers responsibility to bring a definitive ending? Season 6 itself picks up straight where season 5 left off and returns to the present where Jacob has been murdered at the hands of The Man In Black, who is soon revealed as the Smoke Monster in the human form of John Locke (keeping up?) who reveals that he is going to leave the Island and intends on destroying it in the process. The alternate timeline in the final season seemingly indicates that the bomb in season 5 worked and all of the members of Oceanic 815 land safely back in LAX, and this is ultimately the key part of the final season. Thus setting up the main story for season 6 both on and off the Island. Whilst they (being the writers) do provide some answers regarding the numbers but their no hugely significant their merely each Candidate's number, as it turns out Oceanic 815 were crashed with a view to replacing Jacob as the guardian of the Island. There are some amazing episodes amongst the 18, and some not so. Ab Aeterno is a phenominal episode, where as Across The Sea is a disappointment. There are deaths along the way but thats to be expected and the deaths bring around some of the most heartbreaking and touching moments Lost has produced. Ultimately it all leads to The End, the inevitable showdown between Jack and Locke isn't quite what it should have been, destinies are fulfilled, heart-rending and tender goodbyes shared, the fate of the Island is solved and the shock truth about the flash-sideways (alternate storyline) is revealed, concluding with Lost's unforgettable and genius final scene. All in all an epic tv series which delivered some of the best TV ever scene as when it was good it was at times unbeatable but in the end had the impossible task of bringing it to an end. Either way, you can be sure that Lost will continue to be the centre of heated debate for years to come!!… Expand

    Never has there been a more prime example of writers that don't know how to end a series. The flash forwards were bad. The tasteless reintroduction of dead characters was bad. And the number of unanswered questions and episodes of nothingness was way too high.

    Я думал, что после предыдущего сезона ничто не сможет испортить этот сериал... Но как же я ошибался.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Possibly the most anticipated final season in the history of television long time viewers were hoping that the shows many mysteries would be answered in a satisfactory way. The season opens with the realisation that an alternate reality has been created, as a result of the survivors actions in season five, in which Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed. The so called 'flash-sideways' into this reality taking the place of the flash-backs or flash-forwards of previous years.

    Throughout this final season we were also given further insight into the islands purpose and history as well as why the survivors found themselves on the island. The connection between the islands story and the previously mentioned flash-sideways is gradually resolved throughout the season leading to an emotional and unexpected conclusion.

    As the end credits rolled fan reaction to this conclusion understandably varied wildly. If you could accept the creator’s argument that Lost was about the characters journey it can be seen as a fitting conclusion. For many viewers however the finale ultimately left too much unanswered and some of what is answered felt a little unplanned, not really fitting with the shows ethos. Nonetheless it can't be denied that along the way Lost was one hell of a ride.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After excellent five seasons, expectations were high for the last season of one of the greatest shows ever made. Unfortunately, Lost failed to fulfill those expectations.

    First of all, let me say that Lost is my favorite show of the past decade. I enjoyed every twist, every reveal and every cliffhanger to date. I loved the season 5 finale(The Incident) and was thrilled to find out which direction the show would take to bid farewell.

    Soon into the premiere, we find out that Faraday's plan did not work. They were still on the island. And what came next was the dull, boring and unconvincing Temple storyline. I watched the show several times and I actually do not remember anything that happened in the Temple. The B storyline(Sun, Ilana, Frank, Man in Black), was equally frustrating. Nothing actually happened until the great tragedy that happened in The Candidate(death of Sun, Jin and Sayid)

    Another thing that happened this season was the introduction to flash-sideways. I loved the idea(eternal fan of alternate universes), but that idea was(at least in the beginning) poorly executed. Until Desmond-centered episode, the flash sideways had no purpose for the characters, and neither did for us.

    To be honest, I did not enjoy the Richard-centered Ab Aeterno(which is a critical darling), but I loved Desmond-centered episode(Happily Ever After).

    All that negativity aside, the last four episodes were incredible and almost pitch-perfect. The show picked up its pace and delivered a very strong ending both on- and off-island. The Jack-Christian talk in the end is one of my favorite moments ever.

    Lost will no doubt be wrtitten in the history of television of one of the most popular phenomenons of modern time. And I feel proud to have been on its path for so many times.    … Expand

    Last season of cult series. At the time of viewing there was a feeling that even already everything bothered screenwriters. And though the series formally ended on the 4th season, the 6th season - full completion of series. The benefit the last 3 series are removed very abruptly.
