I loved it, but they basically used that to distract us from the fact that they told us very little of what the island actually was. What is the light? Why did it turn all volcano when it was put out? I really wish they had given us this fundamental of answer.

Those bastards.
I'm with you and Miriel. I was simultaneously enjoying all the happy feelings and pissed that they answered nothing (well, except what was up with the alternate timeline, but that hardly counts). I never even expected them to answer everything, but not giving an answer to the fundamental question that has pretty much been the driving mystery behind the entire show was low. Really low. It felt like they were pretty much saying they had no idea how to give a satisfactory answer (even if it was a cryptic one) so they didn't even bother and tried to cover up the pile of poo they left in the middle of your room with some air freshener.

I enjoyed the episode as a season finale or partial conclusion, but as a series finale it was very wanting. The writers and producers are dicks.
