Lost Finale (might have Spoilers!)

[atgcpaul]

Are you sure, or did it seem that way? Reason I ask, this has been a sore point for me all season. So, when we were watching the finale, we DVR'd it. When we watched the first 30 or so minutes, I think there was a total of 3 or maybe 4 minutes of commercial breaks.

There was also a few long stretches of show that was a great change from the rest of these past 2 seasons.

According to this, 1:45hr of show, 45min of commercials.

If you go about 1/3 way down to the "Frequency" section, Lost is right on
track with other prime time shows. They showed exactly 30% commercials.
So they didn't use any more commercial time than they normally would have,
but the periodicity of the commercials definitely fluctuated quite a bit. Maybe
the beginning was just fluff while the interesting stuff towards the end was
definitely littered with a lot of breaks.

My wife watched Lost, I didn't really. But she finished it last night and looked like she felt ripped off.
It seemed to me like they didn't know where to go with the end, so they used something like that tireless ending in movies: "oh, it was just a dream." I get really tired of movies like Click, explaining away 90 minutes of bizzare with a dream. It's weak.
