[Steven Lyle Jordan]

I realize that the show was primarily about the characters' journeys, and not really about the mysterious working of the island... which is why I'm happy with the ending.

But now, I wanna know more about the mysterious workings! Just because!

Spoiler:

I agree about the obvious tack of suggesting a post-Lost "Hurley and Ben run the island" scenario. I wouldn't have a problem with that, as long as it was more about learning exactly what goes on on that island, why it's important, and who it needs to be protected from. I kept expecting to see something like Jason's Golden Fleece, a dragon's heart, giant energy-bending pyramid crystals or a thunderbolt from Zeus down there. But really, any basis for the "power" that went on down there would have been satisfying to me.
