On the Lost Finale...

Gee, thanks LOST for devoting nearly half of your two and a half hour series finale on a mystery that was manufactured only at the beginning of this season - and leaving all the the red herrings from seasons past completely unresolved. Here are some of my other grievances.

So what exactly was island? What was its purpose and why was it able to travel through time?

Something to do with electromagnetism I guess.

So Kate professes her love for Jack after years of being a total c*nt to him and just being useless in general. Isn't that just a little too convenient so she could be Jack's constant?

 Bai Ling probably had scheduling conflicts.

Some people were suspiciously absent from the church at the end. Where was Michael and Walt? Mr. Ecko? Faraday and the redhead? Miles and his dad? Richard? Even Ben was invited. What gives?

Obviously, François Chau commands a sizable paycheck.
