In response to "Yeah...I'm pretty tired of having to explain the L O S T ending. For something that was so perfectly clear for me..." by Jim

Is it too much to ask for a simple answer about the island?

If there is a lot of people complaining about the ending, then you gotta admit it wasn't for all. I was frustrated with the island part. I still think the creators took the easy way in leaving some of the basic questions unanswered. But that's just my opinion.

    - That would be the "electromagnetic anomaly" portion of things. -- nm - Ender May 25, 21:11 4
      - So the "electromagnetic anomaly" affected just a few of the Ajira passengers? - FabioParme May 25, 21:22 3

        yes, cause that's what happened. if only there was an electromagnetic expert on the original flight it could have been explained. I don't think having - dogbert May 25, 21:48
