The ending of Lost makes much more sense if you binge watch the show as I did. Waiting a week between each episodes must've made it insanely confusing.

The problem with lost is that most people watched week by week which probably is a diffrent kind of torture if you binged it you'd see every question was answered and it wasn't confusing

People who didn't understand the Lost finale, didn't really pay attention to the show. Lost was not a show to have on in the background, and still completely understand.

When I first watched Lost I was really pissed of. It was my favorite show so far but the finale left a bad taste in my mouth. Then, last year I decided to re-watch for pure nostalgia and I have to say that I love the finale now. People (and I) were expecting a sci-fi oriented finale, because the show had some sci-fi elements, but watching it again made me realize how the show was much (much) more focused on the philosophical, religious and dramatic subjects since the 1st episode. I'm so glad I gave it another chance, because it is one of my favorite shows ever. Ending included.

I don't care what anyone else says... Lost, in my opinion, is and will always be the best TV show.

The way they did my boy Locke in this entire show was criminal. He could at least got some revenge before the twist.

The ending of Lost wasn't confusing if you pay attention. In fact, basically all of the questions in the show are answered at one point or another. The problem was the show was too complex and required too much attention to detail for the masses to handle. People these days need shit thrown in their face and broken down for them to get it. Lost's story was genius.

The first 4 seasons of Lost is the greatest t.v. ever. The filler and incohesiveness in the last 2 seasons knocks it down a couple spots.

I liked the ending to, Lost. Afterlife or not it exemplified how important each character was and how they affected each other's lives. A sorta Its A Wonderful Life.

Just when I thought I was finally getting any answer on how Lost ended and I'm still left hanging 😬

[kingbrutusxxvi]

I love how LOST was so confusing that even the "explanation" given here doesn't actually give you any answers. Too funny!

[sourcedrop]

I liked and understood the lost series finale. I liked how everyone was in the there together even though they all died sometimes years apart from each other. There's no time in the afterlife, baby.

How I Met Your Mother had a terrible last episode.

I hate that some people were so confused about the ending to Lost. I thought it was very straight forward!

Everybody Hates Chris ending was inspired by The Sopranos

surprise Dexter wasn't on this list. only because the finale season was soo horrible. deb dying, Dexter becoming a mountain man, Dexter killing debs killer with a pen right in front of everyone, and Dexter leaving his son with a serial killer. granted he trusts her. i just don't think that's something Dexter would have done.

I didn't have any problems with the end of Mad Men, I thought it was genius to imply that Don wrote the famous Coca-Cola commercial.

Personally I think Lost was originally supposed to be purgatory and being that everyone predicted that as the show's premise the writers had to deny it (what are they going to do admit to the show's plot twist?) The writers then rolled purgatory as the plot line for the final season.
