I watched the much hyped Lost finale last night. In one sense it was satisfying. All the relationships that I loved about season one were revived and resolved (except for Juliet and Sawyer, which happened after I started watching).
But of course the show failed to truly wrap up its loose ends. But was I expecting it to? Lost has always been chaotic- that was one of the reasons I stopped watching after season three. Most questions were left unanswered and fanboys everywhere can go crazy trying to connect the dots.
But the finale truly drew from Lost's strengths: the relationships between thoroughly developed characters as well as a sense of "otherness," otherwordly and liminal displaced sense of time and space. Ultimately the show cannot return to the beginning, but there is no where for it go except back into mystery.
