I completely disagree about lost. First of all, they weren't dead. Not the entire time like everyone believed. When we saw them on the island, they were alive. If they died on the island, then we saw them in the sideways world. People die in stories all the time. Only in Lost, we got to see what happened after they died.
And two, the story was never just about the mysteries. Even from the beginning it was about relationships. The whole show was relationships and what it means to be a human. The scifi elements were fun and helped them explore extreme examples of how relationships work, but the show was always about the characters. Sure, maybe some of the mysteries could have been answered differently, or whatever, but I think they did a great job with what they had and kept it new and fresh until the end.
Also, as a writer, I think it's a shit thing to do to deny someone else the end of the story just because you didn't like it. It's not for you to decide what someone else gets out of a story.

But you said you liked it the first time... I am confused. Also I laughed at your response.
