Lost is sort of a paradigm for TV shows not ending well. It can be really challenging to set yourself up for a successful finale, especially when you don't know how many seasons you're going to get. I think that in the case of Lost, they just couldn't come up with an ending that would make everybody happy.
Welcome to the October 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
