LOST : Finally comes to an end! Or, does it?

There is no need to say anything about LOST to the modern generation. It has been a long running series (6 seasons) and has kept the suspense and speculations going episode after episode, season through season. And like all good things in life this highly rated serial had to end at some point, and end it did this month on 23rd. Wish i could say, "What an ending it was!". Sadly that's not to be..
I was left unsatisfied and perplexed by the ending to this long running series. Not to spoil the fun i would merely say that not all the issues were tied off and not all the mysteries revealed. The ending was merely a half-hearted attempt to see some kind of closure to the series, a closure that would leave a warm after glow in the people, tie up cleanly with their religious beliefs, so that they can overlook the various issues not answered, the various plot twists introduced just to keep the series interesting that had nothing to do with the original story line.
If you look at it on the episode level (micro) each episode was interesting and left us mystified, kept us just enough in the dark to keep us returning for more and more of the island.However if you look at the entire storyline arc (macro), you are left stumped. So what was the island? Which timeline was real? Was the world (sideways arc) really just a purgatory where dead people stayed till all their friends came along? And it functioned just like everyday world? Then what role Desmond had to play to bring them all together? And when was one one ready to "move on" ( the police officer, Lucia, who set desmond, sayid & kate free wasn't yet ready..).
Various people are saying that it was in keeping up with the tune of the sci-fi genre of the show that not all storylines are explained, not all loose ends are tied off. I would just say that the writers had taken too many liberties with the story down the lane, had branched off too much, that it was not possible to tie off all ends ...explain all the mysteries...atleast logically.Well maybe it's just me, but the ending episode did not bring the show full circle.It left me intellectually unsatisfied. Ending the show with Jack dying in the bamboo jungle ( it started with him opening his eyes there) may have been symbolical of the full circle that the show traced up...but it did not explain much!


In the end i have come to realize this that the show was never meant to bring anything to logical conclusion. It was just a good drama wrapped up in the garb of sci-fi. Let's leave it to that. And for that whatever it was worth, it was a great show. Now the search for new series that may hold our attention in the same way begins...
