How would you have actually done the lost finale? they have a "How it should have ended" LOST but it didn't make a lot of sense.... appropriately. I've tried to talk about this with live action people but my sister shot me down "No, Jacob was right, everyone's in purgatory, ending was crap, I don't want to talk about it." But what could have they done with the sideways timeline to make it less crap?

I don't think I would have changed the ending. They left all the island questions open for us while closing out the story of our characters.

I'm somewhat in agreement here. If anything I would have worked harder to build to that ending earlier on. There were a lot of game-changing revelations dropped right before the finale. The mystical struggle between Jacob and the man in black probably should have been revealed at the beginning of the season instead of 3 episodes away from then end. Or better yet, not at all. It was a fun episode but it added a layer of confusion.
The whole final season had a tonal shift the separated it from the rest of the series. I would have worked some of those elements in earlier. And I'm glad they don't explain what the sideways timeline is exactly, but it apparently left everyone with the conclusion that the whole last season of the show is a dream. If that's not they're intention they should have been a little more specific.
I didn't think it was crap, though. I enjoyed it.
Here's a thought: What if they all died in the explosion in the previous season finale? Then everything that happens in the last season in both timelines would be them in some kind of purgatory.
