\"LOST\"
If there\'s one thing you can say about LOST is that it has been a rather compelling storyline for the past six years. As a cultural touchstone sort of thing, you gotta admit that LOST has a hefty place in the hallways of pop culture. The overall consensus seems to still be brewing in regards to the finale but it seems to be ranking with the masses quite a bit higher than a lot of other big shows of its type (Dallas, Sopranos, etc).

For me, the final episode was just about everything I wanted. I can\'t remember the last time I watched an episode of TV and felt so locked in. A group of friends had a BBQ and we watched it projected on a huge screen.. it was movie-esque in every way. The writers did a great job of tugging at heart strings with a good pacing, throwing in a bunch of high action sequences (Jack vs Smocke on the cliffside was pretty epic) and continuing their Island Mythos with the contents of the cave interior.

I hate to be that guy but I was pretty disappointed in the very final scenes. I\'m not so emotionally invested in a TV show that I really care all that much how they ended it but it felt like a very safe, very tidy way to wrap it all up. A cop out if you will (and a bit of backpedaling). That being said, the journey to that destination was great. I loved 98% of the finale and the series as a whole has kept my attention for many years.

What were your thoughts on it? Did it deliver for you?
