Interesting review! I'm sorry the finale didn't work for you, but I have to admit that I loved it. I've seen it twice now (I watched it the second time with my husband) and liked it even more the second time.
And I would have liked to see Desmond and Penny ending together in flesh, not as ghosts. We can't be certain that Ben was right and there was another way so Desmond could go home, the show leaves us in the dark about my second favourite pairing ever, damnit!
Yes, I was disappointed that we never got to see more of Desmond and Penny. And I don't know why, but I'm convinced that Desmond got off the island and back to Penny and Charlie eventually. I just wish we'd been able to see it!
The church scene was sentimental, yes, but I liked it. I'm not a religious person by any means, but I would like to believe that we do see our loved ones again after we die, so on that level it did work for me.
I think Ashes to Ashes probably did it better, but the Lost finale more than made up for it with the wonderful character moments we were given, so I was happy.
I'd even go as far as to say that the Ashes to Ashes and Lost finales are tied as my two favourite endings to any TV show. And I'm grateful that we got an ending to Lost at all, as so many shows are cancelled before they reach a conclusion these days!
