So who watched it then?
Personally I'm disappointed.
It was exactly what it appeared to be (despite the protestations that it wasn't by the producers) and none of the answers got answered.
Jeeeez.

And they never did answer what the polar bears where.....

Definately left it with an open ending for them to come back to it a few years down the road, mark my words!

I never understand why people get so hung up on the polar bears, I thought it was explained a looong time ago that the Dharma people brought them and were experimenting on them (hence the cages on Hydra Island). Presumably they escaped when it all went t*ts up and swan over to the main island.

Edit: This from t'internet:

quote:

Polar bears were brought to the Island by the DHARMA Initiative, who held them in cages at the Hydra station. Text on the blast door map suggests that DHARMA Initiative researchers were attempting to genetically modify the polar bears to allow them to survive warmer climates. At least some of the polar bears survived the Purge, after which they were freed from their cages and swam to the main Island. After the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 in 2004, survivors of the crash occasionally encountered and were threatened by the bears, and Charlotte Lewis discovered the skeleton of a DHARMA Initiative polar bear in Tunisia that same year.

Didnt watch it after season 3, like so many American series (heroes, ER ) etc the plots seem to go pear shaped and the writers run out ideas. They should finish them on a high instead of dragging them out.

I'm afraid it had to be the worst ever ending in history. I was a huge fan of it especially in the early days but the last 2 seasons have got more and more confusing. Seemed to me the writers ran out of ideas on how to confuse us and how to make a really good ending so opted for an easy `everyone dies when the plane crashed` ending.
Perhaps they should have all been in an experimentation lab run by Dharma, like a virtual reality type of thing?
I went to be bed last night after watching Fridays episode and the 2 1/2 hr last one all in one sitting and was left feeling very let down.
Perhaps we should all go round to the writers and put them in a cage with the polar bears or the smoke monster!

I have now decided to not design/build my car and go into writing the most convaluted pointless story, sell it to some dumb TV company and make millions, then buy Ferrari and make some really awesome cars!!!

Heroes is starting to go that way but ER??? Come on its only a hospital drama and the best. If they stopped that should they stop Holby or Casualty, or why not go the whole hog and stop Corrie / Eastenders / Emeradale, etc. They are a complete waste of time!!
I know perhaps we should just turn the TV's off and go building our cars instead!

Heroes is being finished as far as I know. As for corrie and eastenders not that I watch them but the plots just seem to go on and on which is why I made the point with American series.
Cheers,
Bob

Hi,

Well I didn't think it was a bad ending. Me and the missus have never missed an episode and I'm not afraid to admit I am somewhat sad to see it finished.

In true LOST fashion, I think each of us will work out what we think it was all about, and there will be many differing opinions.

Well I think it was a load of bollocks.

As one of the people on a forum I read said

"I thought it was a sci-fi program and it turns out I've wasted six years watching a semi-religious soap-opera"

Each to their own. I suppose a lot depends on whether you classed it has a "Sci-Fi Program" or a "Character Based Drama" or maybe "a bit of both".
