I thought the finale was adequately satisfying, particularly since I'd already realized that there wasn't enough time left to resolve all the mysteries that had been created in the first few seasons. But imagine how much better it could have been if those mysteries had actually had payoffs in addition to the satisfying character arcs contained in the series. Lost was great television, but it could have been even better. Someone should take inspiration from Lost's success and build on it with an even tighter epic mystery series with major character development.
