That still leaves half this last season which was presented as being important somehow, when all it was was an extended, interwoven denouement. Seeing it with hindsight, I still feel like they chose this ending very late in the show's run. Like middle-of-this-season late. The resolution doesn't seem to match with other things they hinted at throughout season 6.Sure, maybe Juliet, dying in the hole, somehow saw into this pocket heaven and decided to quote it to Sawyer before she died, but then why did she say, "It worked," as if in reference to their desired goal of creating an alternate timeline?Sure, maybe Smokey was just blowing smoke up Sayid's ass when he said that he could give Sayid exactly what he desired, but it sure sounded like Smokey thought there was some way to create an alternate reality.And I suppose Desmond, when zapped with electromagnetism by Widmore, had a near-death experience and somehow managed to share his consciousness between reality and the timeless pocket heaven, but in the flash sideways Faraday makes it sound like setting off the nuke actually did something. If we accept that the flash sidewayses were just glimpses of the pocket heaven, then the entire nuke thing was kinda pointless. The rewrites and continual changes to the 'truth' behind the show are egregious enough that they keep me from enjoying it without reservation.  Like I said, I enjoyed it, and as a character drama it was really good. But as a sci-fi/fantasy show with a consistent world, it disappoints me.</blockquote>
