Last thoughts (or, at least, last posts) on "The End." LOST was just a grown up version of "Sesame Street." Take an otherwise normal-seeming locale which seems not to connect to the outside world, fill it with an ethnicly and otherwise diverse group of people, sprinkle in a monster or two, a big beloved audience surrogate who sees and talks to someone no one else can, someone who lives under a hatch to an unseen environment, etc., etc. Intersperse this story with fascinating, amusing, and sometimes bizarre or fantastic clips about numbers, opposites, foreign languages, etc. With me so far on this belabored comparison? My problem with the ending of LOST is that it was all street, no clips. So why did we ever have them?
