Will you be looking for answers that aren’t there? In short, YES. There is no there there.
The vast majority of people were really disappointed by the ending and the way everything didn’t make sense when all was said and done.
I watched it for the first season because I liked the characters but when that polar bear showed up, I knew there was little chance that anything would make any sense any more.
So I gave up for the next several years, but I did watch the last several episodes because the finale was so over- hyped. Plus I also read several seasons worth of recaps from various sites to catch up. The ending was one big MEH.
And I’m so glad I didn’t invest several years of my time into this mess. Because that’s exactly what it was; it was a TOTAL MESS which made no sense in any context at all.
There are far far better series in which to invest your time IMHO. Blackberry’s list is an excellent start.
BTW: I discovered the same thing about The Dome. I started watching it for the first few episodes because of Stephen King. Then I DVRd the rest of the season figuring I’d watch it later.
But after the season finale, it was apparent that it made even less sense than Lost, so I just erased the remaining 10 or so episodes and freed up space for something more interesting.
