The show placed so much emphasis on the mysteries, and that is why a lot of people tuned in. It was exciting to see all of those connections and weird happenings and wondering how the writers were going to finally explain everything and tie the story together. Instead they seemed to have ignored everything they set up and threw in the deus ex machina of "you don't need answers - just faith".
Like someone above said - the ending made huge amounts of the show's content totally moot.
