The season three finale of Lost was so, so lame.

(Spoilers follow.)

1. No Smokey? (Well, I guess in the form of Walt.)
2. No hint at the toe-statue? I'm sorry, but a shocking ending without precept does not make for a good cliffhanger.
3. The writing was horrible: Mikhail took a SPEARGUN to the chest, survives, and manages to detonate a grenade UNDER WATER...
4. Of course The Others weren't really going to kill Sayid, Sawyer, et al. We "need them" for future seasons (why write it in, then?)
5. Locke's actions at the end--by the radio tower--just don't make sense, unless there are some more explanations that will come later.
6. No more cool stuff with Jacob?

The whole thing just felt uneven. Last year's season finale was awesome; it had a good flow.

Keep milking it for the remaining three years, Cuse and Lindelof.

Sigh.
