LOST: The Complete 6th and Final Season

**** - The best dramatic TV shows that are aware of the fact that they are heading into their final hurrah walk their audience up to a precipice and then fling them over edge to a measured and well thought out ending with some bombast. As much as I have enjoyed watching “LOST” over the past five years, I must admit that that formula is not followed here. Instead, the precipice is reached and then the audience is nudged to the side and led step-by-step down the side of some other less dangerous cliff to a soft landing. I don’t necessarily dislike the fact that conformity was eschewed here, but I was also hoping that all of the mysteries that were introduced at various points in the series would be wrapped up, or at least solidly hinted at enough for the viewer to form a conclusion. That didn’t really happen with “LOST”. Without getting into any detail, there were a number of issues that I was hoping would be resolved that weren’t (more than one of which was pretty vital to the overall premise). While that is certainly a disappointment, I must say that the mysteries that were resolved were pretty well done and whether or not everyone had all their answers fed to them, it must be admitted that the journey of the final season was a pretty fun one in which to partake.
