The Divisive Lost Series Finale (Daily Beast)

And this answer is what is causing the fan polarity: Because in the Sideways world, we learned in the final minutes of the finale, all of the characters are dead. The Sideways reality, a place where the Losties were able to let go of their traumas and connected with their loved ones, wasn’t really a timeline at all, but a purgatory that they themselves had created in order to find one another again, to reconnect one last time with the most important people in their lives before they could move on to the afterlife.

Lost was the ultimate long con (io9)

It's way too early to tell, but I have a feeling that this will go down in history with the "Patrick Duffy stepping out of the shower" thing on Dallas. It just felt like a cheap, cop-out ending. In a sense, nothing that happened in the "flash-sideways" universe mattered because they were all already dead, and they were going to "move on" eventually one way or another. And nothing on the island mattered, because... well, it just didn't seem to matter very much.

In fairness, unlike BattleStar Galactica whose final 30 minutes unraveled the entire series, the final minutes of Lost only unraveled the Flash Sideways. And after sleeping on it, it wasn't so bad really. Who wants to be my #2?
