Lost's sixth and final season drew both raves and criticism from its passionate fans who wanted answers to the series' many loose ends. Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse found a way to wrap up some lingering story lines while introducing entirely new ones when they decided to employ a "flash-sideways" plot device, showing us an alternate reality in which Oceanic 815 never crashes (a consequence of the hydrogen-bomb detonation that occurred in season 5's finale). This method allowed some long-gone characters to return (Boone, Charlie, Libby) and even showed sunnier outcomes for some of the survivors' more unhappy pasts (Locke, Hurley). But in the non-Sideways world, the bomb's detonation doesn't change their course, and the survivors find themselves delving deeper into the island's mythology--notably, the yin/yang of the demigod Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) and the smoke monster, a.k.a. the Man in Black (Titus Welliver), as well as some curious denizens of a temple (a subplot that doesn't add much to driving the story forward). As the smoke monster's scheme to escape the island leaves a trail of carnage, culminating in a face-off with that other villain Charles Widmore (Alan Dale), some primary characters meet their end in season 6 while others find the redemption they'd been seeking since the series began. Moreover, some survivors finally find out their connection to the island (and each other) when the two realities start to intermingle, leading to a tearful finale that satisfies and frustrates at the same time (though when it comes to Lost, what else is new?).
While each cast member is on their "A" game, the final episodes really belong to Matthew Fox, who received his first Emmy® nomination for this season. Nestor Carbonell is also a standout in "Ab Aeterno," an episode that finally explains the ageless Richard Alpert. In addition, a few small details are wrapped up in a bonus short, "The New Man in Charge," which serves as an epilogue. Other special features include "The End: Crafting a Final Season," which interviews legendary TV producers such as James Burrows (Cheers, Friends) on the pressures of wrapping up a series. It also shows the finale script being printed out on red paper (so it can't be copied) and delivered to a specially built locked mailbox outside Jorge Garcia's home. Garcia, who plays Hurley, is then seen reading the script for the first time and weeping. "See You in Another Life, Brotha" goes deeper into the flash-sideways storytelling; "Lost on Location" highlights behind-the-scenes action behind specific episodes; the always-hilarious "Lost in 8:15" wraps up the entire series (only through season 5) in eight minutes and 15 seconds; and "A Hero's Journey" is a ho-hum set of interviews examining the heroic arcs of several major characters. Bloopers and deleted scenes round out the bonus features. But with all the lingering questions in the series, it's a shame Lindelof and Cuse didn't add commentary to more than a handful of episodes, because this is one DVD set that sure could've used it (not having any commentary on the finale is near unforgivable). You do, however, learn that the black-and-white stones game played by Jacob and the Man in Black is actually called Senate (hey, you gotta take what you can get). So long, Lost; it's been one hell of a journey. --Ellen A. Kim

I was certain we would see a SciFi, paranormal, Rod Serlingesque type of ending. Instead we got an emotional and spiritual ending that really didn't fit the mold the writers cast the prior five seasons. To be honest, I'm very disappointed with season 6 as a whole. The first five seasons are absolutely classic television masterpieces - has there ever been a more classic cliffhanger ending as the last episode of season 5?
The sixth season seems rushed out the door and not well thought out, from a creative angle. If I were to sum up S6 in one word, it would be mediocre, hence the three star rating. This ranks up there with Dallas as one of the worst conclusions to one of the best TV series ever made. There, I said it. I feel much better now.

For five glorious seasons "Lost" was one of the greatest television serial dramas of all time. The twists, the turns, the big reveals, the attention to detail: it was totally engrossing. The show had built itself an entire mythology and it seemed that something utterly mind-blowing was behind its many deeply-intertwined mysteries. Then came season six. Since that infamous final episode aired, there are two kinds of "Lost" fans: the ones who insist that people like myself are wrong for "demanding that every little thing be explained and spelled-out for us" and the ones who know they got jobbed and jobbed big time by that bogus season six. The Hanso Foundation? The Dharma Initiative? Electromagnetism anomalies? Vanishing land masses? Time travel? Widmore vs. Linus? Forget that: it's a cork and all you need to know is that everyone will be dancing and smiling and hugging again together someday, except for certain cast members. Oh, I see.
What I'd like to do is take season six and throw it into that pool at the "temple", fish it out and replay it to see if maybe the magical island waters turned it into something non-stupid instead of the nonsensical, supposedly "character-driven" piece of claptrap that originally aired. I mean seriously, no one expected EVERY mystery to be fully explained by the end, but come on. They just flat-out blew off five years of awesome sci-fi mythology and back story and instead delivered a bunch of contrived, nonsensical hooey. The "sideways flashes" were mostly pointless time-killers full of "hey, remember him/her?" gimmickry designed as a cheap swerve and the Jacob/MIB stuff was simplistic, boring faux-profoundity masquerading as good storytelling. It was a massive disappointment.
The problem wasn't that people like me wanted answers we didn't get. The problem was that the show dropped five excellent seasons of narrative because its creators couldn't find a satisfactory way to bring that narrative to some sort of logical (or fantastical) conclusion and instead resorted to a bunch of silly claptrap and flimsy metaphors designed to paint over those five previous seasons with a big broad brush. I hated it and I'd give it zero stars if I could.

The whole excitement and point of this show was the mystery surrounding the island and the long list of bizarre happenings that occurred to those on it. If there was any show that ever promised an explanation this was it and it failed in the most epic way imaginable. The end answers NOTHING! The end explains NOTHING! I still couldn't tell you what the island is or answer any of the several hundred questions I was left dangling with.
The writings apparently thought it was acceptable to make up, entirely at random, the story and that us fans wouldn't be T-d off. It's The Matrix and Battlestar Galactica all over again (only worse).
