Josh Spiegel: As someone who's been watching since the beginning (and someone who, almost unconsciously, became less concerned with some of the big questions as time went by), I was fully satisfied. Of course, I think that completes my time as the resident BOP Lost Apologist, but what can I say? I'm not usually an emotional person, and I've cried at only a couple of movies during my life, but something about the execution of the finale (all the way up to the perfectly fitting last scene) really got to me. Going into the show, I wanted one thing only: satisfying ends for the characters. The finale did that. I'm satisfied.

Tony Kollath: Take. This. Quiz. (written by BOP Lost Apologist Josh Spiegel)

Daron Aldridge: Reagan, I guess we'll just have to agree about Shrek, then.

Jason Lee: I think the title of "How Well Do You Know Lost?" could have been the title for the series itself over the last four years.

Jim Van Nest: I don't know that the ending could have been done much better. Without giving anything away, I LOVED the resolution of the sideways timeline and I very much enjoyed the conclusion of the Island timeline and the final scene was perfect.

Eric Hughes: For me, the show's mythology wasn't the hook. It was the characters. So for the writers to disregard "essential questions" about the island and the rest of it in favor of the characters was absolutely fine with me. I'm trying not to sound hyperbolic about this here, but I was beyond satisfied with what was spit back at me. "The End" was beautiful.

Jim Van Nest: Eric...I'm with you. How the island became what it is and that kind of thing...I didn't care about. They explained what it was. The how and why...doesn't matter. One of the major points of the show was faith. The how and why fall into that area. I've heard several folks that I would consider to be pretty religious have problems with the ending of the show. All I can think is that it runs pretty well even with religion. I mean...how and why did *insert diety of your choice* get his power? Those questions don't matter. You take that stuff on faith and do what you're supposed to do.

The more I think about the finale, the more I like it.
