[spoiler] What was so bad about the ending of Lost? (lemm.ee)

I just finished watching Lost. I didn't watch it in the previous decade, because everyone told me the ending was super bad. Now that I've finished it, I don't get it. What was so bad about it?

Something similar happened to Babylon 5, it was designed as a 5-season series and then they were told season 4 would be the end. So they hurriedly wrapped everything up for the season 4 finale.

And then they were told they were getting a fifth season after all once that was all locked in, so they had to create a whole season of filler for season 5.

Imagine if the 5th season was just a sitcom about the daily lives of the characters after the conflicts were resolved.

That explains a lot, Season 5 never felt like it fit the series
