“I cared most about the characters, and the fact that the characters were all together at the end of the series was the thing that mattered most to me,” he told PEOPLE. “And so I found that really satisfying because, as actors, we could say goodbye to each other in those final scenes.”

Right, because its all about actors’ experience. Meanwhile the production was making the conscious decision to fuck the audience and throw out some dumb-ass half-baked hand-wavey pablum so they could run out the clock and get paid. They landed the plane with the last drop of gas in the tank.

Lost could have been a grand unification of science fiction and fantasy with a solid character drama as a foundation. Instead they turned it into a soap-opera that insulted the intelligence of a dedicated audience. I’m still holding a grudge about it.
