ONE OF THE WORST

Around New Year, there are the traditional "Top" lists that publishers, writers and bloggers spit out as filler content in the dead of winter.  One such Top list was "The 7 Worst Television Finales in History" post. LOST was on the list.  Without commentary, this is the summary from the article:

At this point, "Lost" is synonymous with unsatisfying series finales. After six seasons of intricate plot build-up and a never-ending series of loose ends and questions about the true nature of the island and its inhabitants, the writers released they had written themselves into somewhat of a corner.

Instead of answering the audience's questions, the two hour finale "The End" ended up smoothing over most of the show's most important and unresolved problems by explaining that they all were in purgatory, though if they had really been there the whole time, no one knew.

Ask a "Lost" fan about the finale and you're sure to summon rage and frustration years later.
