Hi,
You should have stuck with your initial assessment.
Yes, indeed. They deserve great credit. They were able to do in a single show what usually takes a season or more. After that show, no one would even want to make another.
The problem is that we don't know when Jack died. Did he die of a stroke on the airplane? Did he die when he landed in the bamboo grove after the plane exploded?
There are really only two possibilities. Either it was all a death dream in which case Joyce did it better. Nothing needs explaining, because nothing really happened and the writers could do anything they liked. Or some parts of it were real, in which case, many questions were raised -- questions which, apparently, the writers did not have a clue as to the answers.
Either way, it was a crappy ending. It was a cop out.
