Great, now I keep reading and thinking really fast thanks to that vid.

hard to explain, I just didn't like it ... probably it has something to do with the whole spiritual nonsense in it.
Observation I've made so far, skimming through reviews all over the place: Europeans tend to be more 'offended' and disappointed by the esoteric and quasi-religious finale.
Hypothesis: Europeans are usually more skeptical and suspicious about such metaphysical revelations (men of science) whereas Americans more readily embrace these notions (men of faith).

For all those disappointed with the finale, what else were you expecting?

What the finale should have been like, by Lira
In the middle of the night, while everyone is asleep, an explosion hits the island. They wake up and see what happened: yet another plane crashed in the island, and they look for survivors. They first dig through the debris when the first signs of life appear: their plane crashed again, and their doppelgängers come out of the plane, one by one.
Astonished, each one of the survivors looks for their new twin. They recognise one another, but fail to understand how they could possibly meet, given the fact that they're the same person yet they have no recollections of having been in that situation before (you'd imagine that, if one of them came from the future, they'd remember this previous incident). Then, slowly, everything that happened in the first chapter happens all over again. Except for the fact that, this time around, they have company - themselves.
Once the old team realises what's going on, the new crew becomes suspicious of these copies lost in an alternate reality. It doesn't really matter to them why they met - they soon understand that the survivors that have not met their life-mate must have died since the first crash. Soon despair takes over the island and the veterans try to recollect the facts so they keep track of what happened in order to save as many noobies as possible. Fast forward six years, everyone that survived in the first run died this time (and whoever died before will survive now).
Now that they've got more people, the plane they tried to fix is more airworthy than ever, and they manage to go to Sidney.
As they approach the airport the air controller tells them there's something wrong. And, once they land, they find a copy of their plane, with everyone on board, in another gate.
Back to the island, two planes crash with two different sets of passengers, and we understand everything is going to happen all over again. It's happened in the past, and it will keep happening in the future.

There you go. No questions answered, everything makes sense with a simple explanation (the space-time continuum is warped in the island) and I didn't need to watch the programme to come up with this :D

Pretty good porn spin-off potential, too. Good work, Lira.

You're welcome. I wonder what the spin-off should be called.
Doppelgangbanger sounds too nerdy...

could be ... I'm European and I'm totally disgusted by everything that has to do with religion and faith :)
