Exactly. Twitter is downright infuriating right now at the people who obviously didn't listen to anything Christian said to Jack at the end. It's frustrating because I'd always said that I was proud of the LOST fanbase because they were such a smart group...well, that statement has certainly been tested the past 10 hours...
Whatever you do, just give it a chance. I found myself at times in seasons 2.... and 3 with having a hard time understanding what was going on or why they were showing what they were showing... but it's all explained and you just have to give it some thought. It frustrated me at times, but that's probably the beauty of the show. There's a hidden message behind all of it.
I think people who are truly fans of the show are a smart group: they enjoy the questions the show poses as much as the answers it gives. What the finale has revealed is that there were an enormous amount of (for lack of a better term) "hangers-on" who were just sticking it out to get answers, and not really enjoying the characters, themes, etc. When they weren't spoon-fed answers in a nice, neat package, they grumble. Not too surprising, really.
I'm actually very emotional today about the ending. I teared up during the flashes last night but then I really started to cry at the very very end, and not because of what happened on the show. I've been a borderline obsessed fan for 5 years now and as the final scene played, I realized that it was all over. It sounds kind of lame, but it felt as if a friend had died. I watched the last 20 minutes or so again this morning and could barely watch it because I was crying so much. A friend of mine had to work last night so he was having a LOST Finale party on Tuesday. I don't know if I'll go to it because I don't know if I can watch it again so soon without crying.
