FLATIRON — After six seasons of mind-boggling twists and turns, ABC’s "Lost" came to its long-hyped conclusion Sunday night.
But the finale left some New Yorkers observing that they’d found more lingering questions in the finale than answers.
“What happened? I still don’t understand. What was the purpose of the island?” said Lee Campbell, a 41-year-old plumber from the Bronx. “Maybe they’ll have a 'Lost' movie and answer all the questions then.”
Dave Morrison, a 23-year-old East Village resident, agreed.
“There were a lot of characters that were kind of abandoned,” Morrison said. “It felt like there were a lot of questions that were unanswered.”
East Village resident Julia Fincher, 23, said she was happy to see a return appearance by Vincent, a dog featured heavily in the first season, and proposed a cop show spin-off series starring Josh Holloway’s Sawyer and Ken Leung’s Miles.
“I was really sad,” Fincher said. “I would always watch it on Tuesday nights with my friends, and I’m going to miss that a lot.”
Many city residents were struck by the romanticism of the series’ wrap-up, which centered on bringing the show’s main couples back together in the afterlife.
The scenes between Sawyer and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) made Wallace Palladino, a 24-year-old accountant living in Midtown East, cry.
Some viewers, however, found the resolution provided by those scenes insufficiently satisfying.
“I’ve been watching 'Lost' all the seasons, and it’s been a weekly passion of mine, and I was really disappointed that all that really happened was that each couple reunited,” said Melissa Schisler, a 30-year-old massage therapist from Prospect Heights. “There wasn’t really any wrap-up beyond that. It just ended.”
Rana Lewis, a 30-year-old filmmaker from Brooklyn, took a similar view.
"I want the last six years of my life back," she said.
