    Sounds like Minority Report. Maybe worth a look.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      It was a tulipty ending though. It was all a dream/they were dead all along, reeeeal original there! Those last couple of seasons were a giant middle finger to all faithful viewers.

      I would have explained it as an extra dimension or lost land, like the bermuda triangle and the disappearing associated myths, created by scientists trying to alter the earth's magnetic field. That is just one idea and far better than the last couple of crappy seasons off lost.

        What was not resolved was what the hell the whole thing was on about in the first place. Who were the original Others, why was the island there and how did it have those powers, how did the island call people to protect it and give them immortality, etc.

        A what rather than why conclusion.

          That sounds pretty tulipy to me. As would just about any grand explanation of Lost. Much better to end it and keep people sort of guessing.

            Think you need to watch it again You obviously weren't paying attention first time round.

            Personally, I quite like Californication, but it went down hill a bit after series 3.

            Also enjoyed Deadwood, but that died a premature death.

              Jericho looks alright too, although another cancelled too early type of show but at least it was wrapped up at the end of season 2 (apparently)

                    Seems like you werent paying attention, so re-watch it yourself:

                    What did they answer?

                    Yup, it's some kind of holding station for your soul, while you sort your emotional baggage out from the wreckage of your life. You might want to call it purgatory, or limbo. (Steve Busfield certainly will!)

                    So as I said, dead all along and the whole island was purgatory. Very unoriginal ......

                      From your article.
                      It does feel like a decent enough finale
                      Kinda negates your whining

                      Personally I enjoyed lost. The only thing I would have changed is to make the last couple of seasons full length rather then the shorter efforts they put out
