And by "a bunch of things" I assume you mean practically everything.  Smart people like shows that don't make stuff up as they go along.   ;D

I agree.  They couldn't have been more explicit that everything on the island actually happened.  I loved the finale.  I was a little disappointed from the lack of explanations from a sci-fi perspective (honestly, they couldn't have possibly explained everything in a way that made complete sense so I'm glad they didn't even try) but I was completely satisfied with all of the main characters' story arcs.

NOT ME!  I really really want to know why Richard visited CHild Locke in the Orphanage and then tested him, I want to know what the result was, I think that maybe Locke was Jacob's mom or the MiB reincarnated.  Maybe that is why Richard was so scared when Locke chose the Knife.  If I can get an answer to that I will be happy.

They never said it for certain, but it seemed pretty clear to me.  Locke and company were bouncing around in time at one point and he was explaining to Richard that they were from the future.  To prove it he told him that he was going to be born on xx date in xx hospital or something to that effect.  He had left him an item (I want to say a lighter or something).  I believe it was one of the items that Richard placed before him as a youth expecting him to recognize and claim it as his.  It wasn't the item that he picked as the youth and therefore failed, but at that point he wouldn't have known it.

In the enhanced version of that episode, it says that the test he gives him is a ritual test performed in ancient tribes to test for reincarnation.  Locke had been jumping through time telling Richard all kinds of stuff and I think Richard was just trying to verify whether he was telling the truth and if he was who he said he was.  I'm unclear as to whether he passed the test or why Richard seemed mad afterward. 

Just watched the finale.  Loved, loved LOVED it!!!!  Don't listen to the haters.  This show was absolutely superb.  One thing most people don't always get is just how hard it is to write such a humongous ensemble story like that, and just because everything isn't completely obvious and it forces you to think, then it must suck.   The ending was poetic, and beautiful, and makes perfect sense to me. 

That being said, there was a shiteload of unexplained stuff from early seasons that does make it seem like they did a good deal of making it up as they went along.  Still, last few seasons were some of the best fantasy drama I've ever seen on television.  There will never be another show like this one. 

LLUncoolJ:
There were definitely some things early on that were never explained. There were also some episodes that were complete filler. But the last 2 or 3 were really good. They had set a point for the conclusion and began working toward it. I'm not sure the jumping around in time made a lot of sense in the grand scheme of the story, but I enjoyed it, especially the time they lived in Dharmaville in the 70s.

BTW, Fringe really ramped it up in the second season. Check it out if you liked Lost, a very capable replacement.
