A couple of things:
1) I know this is tremendously lazy of me, but has anyone recently compiled a list of questions (on this forum) that have yet to be answered?
2) As fun as the time travel has been, and discussing alternate timelines, etc., I had always hoped that the show wouldn't actually go in that direction. It's just so convenient to write off inconsistencies with time travel, or dream sequences--which could still be the case; we don't really know what Dave and Libby in the assylum was really about--that I'm looking at the final season with both excitement and trepidation. How the heck is the season five finale going to play out? Are we going to be put back into another timeline, one that doesn't require the "reality" of everything we've watched for five seasons? Sure, I think Damon and Carlton have promised us that they won't have the entire series end with Hurley waking up and it was all a dream, or some such lame thing as that. But at the same time, I'm really really hoping the last season doesn't turn into one giant allegory for the middle east conflict, or worse yet, a six year ad promoting Disney's technology cures all doctrine. I just want this show to make sense with a reasonable amount of self-consistency and honesty and not just a foil for the "real" message.
No, I'm not expecting every question and inconsistency to be addressed . . . but I'm just anxious about this whole thing being done right, whatever that means. Does anyone else share these anxieties, or is it just me? Curious as heck.
