# ^^ Sadly this
I was really sad about the show ending, but after I got over that I thought, "hang on a minute..."

What about:

The island's origins ffs?
Why the others were such bastards in the first 3 seasons, then turned out to be a bunch of women and children in a polystyrene temple?
Where did the pallet drop come from?
What was the significance of the numbers?
If desmond is the only person who could survive being in that chamber, how come people were able to build it and jack was able to sit in it?
How was this 'clever' person who found the island?
The island exit in tunisia...WTF is that about?

And about a billion other things which would have gone to make and awesome finale'
