How would you ideally have liked Lost to end then?

I was quiet happy with Lost ending with the Flash-Sideways reality being the real reality. Everyone seemed happy, they still remembered the island, everyone was still alive apart from whichever out of Rose & Bernard that was going to get cancer now they didn't make it to the island.
I was a bit disappointed when it turned out they were all dead, especially after watching Ashes to Ashes a few days earlier.
I know it wouldn't fit the show, but I'd always wished Locke would come back to life (maybe from the flash sideways) and turn up at the end to destroy the smoke monster.

I would also have preferred the Dhama Initiative to have had more involvement with creating the island and some of its mysteries.
2) It is unclear whether it is faith or sci-fi, but the flash sideways becomes the main reality.
3) They all remember and are grateful to be alive because they know they died previously.
yeah there was that shot of the island under water, obviously yet another waste of time or was that meant to symbolise something.
I just wanted something grittier, less "lovely, lets all go off into the light, all happy chappies"
I would have been happier if they had been aware of the 'second reality' and it just *was*, and that was that, not a 'and they died happily ever after' ending.
Why kill them all off? They could have just made the alt the new reality.
They should have made Ben the new Jacob as he really wanted to stay and be somebody. The Jack/Hurley/Ben thing made no sense.
If they were matching them up in the ending why did Sayid not get his wife?
They could have had Eloise explain the physics of the numbers and time travel instead then blow up the place.
Do you know, I thought this was where they were going and I was fearful that it would end this way.
For me me, it would have made void all of the experiences on the island, and I'd have been fuming.
Funny to think that in alternate reality of our world, you are in the "I liked it" and I'm in the "I hated it" brigade
The flash sideways would of been a 2nd chance of life created by the bomb going off.
with them all remembering they had died in flight 815 at the end.
Something along those lines anyway.
Technically they weren't as the alternative reality flashes hadn't happened yet. The island life was supposed to be reality.
A bit miffed at the ending, especially after seeing pretty much the same thing on A2A. Heads will roll if Jack Bauer is also in purgatory tomorrow.
I would have liked it to end with:
Jack kills John, and dies due to the stab wound.
The island's magic is finished, cue everyone leaving in the plane.
As the plane is flying, sudden turbulence, cut to Hurley looking out of the window and saying
'Oh not again'
Roll on season 7-12
I didn't mind it and in some ways liked it but i thought this show was more scifi than fantasy, i thought everything could be explained at some level, but oh well its a nice ending to an interesting show, perhaps in the end having all the answers could be disappointing because it can take away some of the mystery and magic in life.
Hadn't Eloise just realised like the others, ie. Kate, Charlie, Claire, Desmond, Locke, Sawyer, etc. that they were in 'purgatory' but she didn't want it revealed to Daniel because she wanted a second chance with him. Desmond was the opposite to Jack, where as Jack fought off the feelings of his past trying to make him remember, Desmond embraced it and helped others remember, although i'm pretty sure that if Desmond hadn't of interferred everyone would have worked it out sooner or later anyway.
During their time on the island they weren't!
Season 1 and 2 are still the best, masterpieces, and its nice to be able to look back and watch all the wonderful episodes with an almost infinite list of great scenes.
I "got" the ending, I just think it was a poor one for a show that for 6 years has made me go OMFG. To me the ending made me feel like I was a balloon that someone had popped and I was a deflated, sad and disappointed mess on the floor. I was genuinely gutted that it ended how it did and whenever I've explained it to people today, it's made it worse and made me angrier and angrier (and yes I know - it's just a TV show - but I don't think I've ever loved and got so involved with a show as what I did with Lost)

Though they still seem to think the finale 'proves' it was a video game.
"To the nay sayers who have been so critical of me and my theory over the years- watch all 6 seasons again. You have missed so much"
That's even more misguided than thinking they were in purgatory the *whole* time.
Well I hope that you can eventually find a TV show that satisfies you 100%. It's just one of those things, I guess. You can look at things with expectations and "can't wait for the next WTF moment" and being blown away all the time, but your expectations progressively become less likely to be fulfilled. Don't get angry - it's not worth it.
Babylon 5 and DS9 both did their endings better than Lost did.
Even Dawson's Creek had to do another finale after the first one was considered rubbish.
