Combine that with season 6's numerous meta-jokes in which the writers actually make fun of fan theories (stupid, insulting lines such as Richard Alpert having to tell Hurley that no, he isn't in fact a cyborg) and you have zero expectation that the show was going to wrap everything up. So, by "Man of Science conclusion" do you mean that it was Science-y to deduce that the show wouldn't attempt to answer those things? I don't know if that if Science-y as much as it is obvious-y.


I totally agree with you about Desmond's flash-sides quest being made less-good once you know he's an agent of new-agey-spiritual-awakening-mission-from-God stuff.

Yes; not letting the faithy ending sour your liking is a faithful attribute. That doesn't clash with how I see the show working wrt science and faith.
Well, I should have mentioned I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. I honestly don't think you'll find many exceptions.
