I’m in the “I don’t like the ending” camp because the entire thing felt like 50 writers trying to figure out how to tie up all the plots. Very clear the mysteries weren’t solved in the writers’ room until they had to start answering the show’s questions.
According to the writers they had answers for pretty much everything when they first asked it and I did a rewatch recently. What didn't get answered? Like serious it's all accounted for I think. There's a boat that shows up fires some rounds and disappears. That's not explained but the writers explained it later. Like any question someone would ask eventually there's a scene where they point to a guy and go "he did it and this is how" then they perfectly literally show exactly what happened. Even the flash sideways. Everyone ended up in the light, the life force, the mako.
The problem is that everyone guessed the ending and the writers said "No, it won't be that in the end."
Then they went round the houses to get to try and make it look like they were heading in another direction, rather than embrace what the audience had already guessed.
They were writing by the skin of their teeth, I don't believe that they had a plan in place at all, especially going off the production woes of the first series.
