Lost?

So the season finale of Lost is fast approaching and frankly I cannot wait. Last night, a friend of mine and I were discussing the epic programme and were amazed to realize that we have been completely lost in Lost for a total of 6 years! that is quite long enough I think. during the first few series I even contemplated the writers getting together everyday and fusing random and crazy ideas together to make bizarre episodes that show no continuity at all, just to laugh at us viewers trying to work it out. Since Oceanic Flight 815 crashed onto an unknown tropical island however long ago in 'Lost-time' we've seen it all. We've seen the island disappear into the ocean and re-emerge in another time, we've seen polar bears, black smoke (which we now think is a person?!) and we've seen people mysteriosuly return to the island. There's been so many unanswered questions I couldn't count them and it's so frustrating. but thats what makes the program so fascinating. I remain glued to the screen for 45 minutes, concentrating so hard in case I miss something, some subtle link or answer to a previous episode. You really have to be on the ball. When it's all over I'm definately going to have to get the whole box set, take a few days off and watch the episodes back-to-back, to hopefully make sense of it all. I just really hope that by the finale episode they tell us what has been going on all this time and don't leave it hanging. I have my own ideas about what the island is and why the people are there and i really dont mind if by the end I'm proved wrong - I just want to know!
