Does it really need to be a complicated ending?

Sorry if i messed anyone up but realized the post should be here--not over there.
IMHO i hope these loose ends all wrap up into a simple, neat bow. All the H-bomb, Polar bear, time travel, smoke-monster-bodysnatcher, can't have a baby without dying stuff had better connect somewhere without giving me a migraine!! Right now the story lines feel like a box of yarn that was played in by some unruly Dharma bunnies--I would say kittens but I didn't see any cats on the island. My head is spinning!
Yes! we are getting answers but one get answered and two more pop up---At least for me.
I love this show but, Holy Locke its a lot of work!
Oh yeah, one more thing, I am truly hoping the connection to all these loose ends will be a ridiculously simple in-your-face-from-day-one concept. NOTHING would make me happier----but I don't think its going to happen.

I think the only neat little bow option would be to say it was all a dream or something lame like that, and I don't think that's going to happen.

Lost will keep us theorizing long after the show is over. That's the fun of it.

i agree i don't want a lame ending like something you would see in the twilight zone. At the same time I don't want to be left feeling confused when the show ends. I didn't need a physics or theology degree to figure this show out thus far but now it is getting more difficult for me. I am so glad to be able to listen to Jay and Jack and get the info deciphered for me and learn something along the way.

I'm doing a physics degree, it doesn't help...

I would love a ridiculously obvious "why did no one think of that?!" but non-cop-out ending to Lost. That would easily cement the writers as the winners of the greatest-people-ever award (something which I think they are already nominated for). But I think the show is way too complicated for that, so I think they will leave us with a giant ball of tangled string, superglued together, covered in two inches of duct tape and on fire. It'll be undo-able and after a couple of years, with some clever uber-fans, some assumption and the occasional nudge from the writers and D+C we will eventually untangle it. We will be left with a kind of prism, through which we will see Lost differently, and millions of people will buy the dvd boxsets and make everyone lots of money. That would be the second best ending, giving us something to do in the post Lost-pocalyptic world.
