It was terrible storytelling and something a 12 year old trying to copy Rowling and Tolkien would write. If you thought that was a good story then you should go read some Dan Brown novels. They'll entertain you for days.

There is a way to use supernatural stuff without making it over the top and utterly cheesy. Lost has been more of the cheese as of late but in this episode they shot straight for the moon without looking back.
Agreed. Though if there's anyone out there that thinks a big part of Lost hasn't been the mysteries then I have to wonder if they were paying attention all of these years.

And I'm not going to say I expect answers to everything. Some things are better left to the viewers imagination, but if the best that they can come up with for why protecting that light and the island is important is because Jacob's Mom said so, take it on faith then the producers and writers are dicks and don't care about their audience, regardless of faith being a central theme to the show and a lot of the characters.

Seriously, either we get answers to some of that stuff or Lost this will likely be one of the worst endings for any TV show I've ever seen.
