And does anyone else feel a lot of similarities between Lost Seasons 1-5 vs Season 6 and Star Wars Original Trilogy VS Prequels?
One of the ones that's really getting to me can be seen here at the end of this video:

And that is this: A redefinition of what the show was to fit new material. i.e. "Star Wars is just for kids, why are you getting so upset about it?" and "Lost was always just about the characters. If you read more into these mysteries than was meant to, that's your fault." And the air of superiority among people that liked it and how they look down on people that "refuse to 'let go'". They're essentially saying, "You're so immature (and so, so, so much less mature than I) because you're so hung up on the mysteries. Maybe one day, when you grow up some, you'll be like me and will see the show for as beautiful as it is."
To be fair, I'm probably doing the opposite. I do really think that as the emotional high wears off, a lot of people are going to look back at it... or rewatch parts of the show, and will realize how much the show was focused on the mysteries of the island, how unsatisfactory the answers we did get were, and how many mysteries were just left hanging. They'll realize that the 'emotional' part of the finale was really just a big switcheroo, and that they were promised filet mignon and wine, fed hotdogs and diet soda, and sent home with a full belly.
People are accusing me of 'expecting too much.' I expected it to be good, and to have some decent surprises, and for it to wow me to some degree like all of the past season finales have done. I don't think that is too much to expect...
