I'm noticing that a lot of the people who had problems with the ending were not paying any attention at all.

I mean, Christian tells Jack directly that the island and everything that happened on it was real, and that he's at the church because he and everyone else is dead ("some before you, some long after you").

What answers were you looking for? And if they gave any answers could they live up to what we wanted or would we get the Lost equivalent of Midichlorians?

One of my friends at work is upset that they didn't explain in detail how the time travelling, immortality-bestowing, teleporting island. I told him that he's the reason that we have midichlorians ("But HOW does the Force work?").

There are a LOT of unanswered questions, but I don't really care.

Hey now. I hated Battlestar Galactica's ending. Still love the show. People who are disappointed with LOST's ending are misunderstanding the point of the entire show.

From the very beginning, all the way back in season one, the core of the show was Science vs Faith. Jack represented science while Locke represented faith. However, Jack eventually realized that Locke was right and spent all of season 5 and 6 basically trying to make up for the fact that he was wrong about everything.

Naturally, the ending goes along with the "Faith > Science" theme, and that got people mad. But they told the viewers that they weren't going to answer every question ("Every answer I give is just going to lead to more questions.") and they even said that some of the answers are more mundane than you might think ("It's just a line of chalk."). But some people are just never satisfied unless they understand EXACTLY how hyperspace/lightsabers/smoke monsters/etc work.
