Why does lost end

Throughout six seasons of these dangling questions, I — like many other fans — was ready for answers. The Numbers represented, among other things, candidates to replace an immortal being that ruled the island? The smoke monster was made when that being threw his brother into a magical cave of light?

And in the finale, we finally learned that the island kept its mystical energy because Following season after season of increasingly clever answers to increasingly clever mysteries, seeing the banal reality of a giant drain stopper was something of a letdown. But I loved the finale anyway. And that, in retrospect, is what the show was actually the best at the whole time, anyway.

Viewers waited for a finale that answers the logical riddles Lost clearly presented. When its creators aimed to home in on a nuance that was subtly woven over the course of six years. If you think of Lost as a first draft for a better series to come later—The Leftovers and The Good Place, that is—the Wrong Steps becomes more delicious. Lost began and ended as soon as the Golden Era of TV began to emerge.
