Lost It

Funny thing about the television show 'Lost'- every skeptic watching the final episode expected an explanation for all the inexplicable things that had happened. An island moving around, smoke monsters, food dropping from the sky, how is that going to be explained?
In standard fiction some endings are unacceptable. Like who shot JR in the ancient series 'Dallas'. The 'it was a dream' solution made everyone angry. The bullet shot at the end of
'Sopranos' just annoyed people. Suicides, dreams, and murdering to resolve the plot rarely makes it past an editor. These are considered cheats.
But what if the characters were dead all along? Okay. That makes sense.
