I think the writers took the easy way out. They had too many unexplained story lines to tie up at the end so they took the easy way out in explaining all of them.

i really think that people's opinions on this vary due to why the loved the show.

i like character studies and it was a character driven show. People who wanted answers (my wife included) wanted answers and plot. after talking to a lot of my friends about their opinion of the finale i noticed a common trend.

people who liked the finale were the type of people that were ok with an "unhappy ending"

just a good example: Gone Baby Gone. i loved it. my wife hated it. my friends lined up similarly on Lost
