Hi,
I think most Lost fans wanted at least a few of the outstanding questions answered. If you're wondering which questions, then the laundry list in the video linked to by Sabra is a good start. I'd scrap all the sideways crap of the last season. I'd get all the writers, producers, directors, actors, key grips, and best boys, and anyone else who ever got within five miles of the shooting together with a few dozen of the best posters on the fan sites. I'd lock them in a high school gym with flat beer and stale pizza until they hammered out a coherent back story for the island and what had happened through season 5. Then, on the basis of that story, I'd have them work out an interesting and plausible ending for the story.
For season six, I'd use flashbacks, memories, talks, arguments, whatever, to reveal the back story, intertwining it with the events that would lead to the grand final. Some of the crap they pulled in earlier seasons might have to be glossed over. Some of the mysteries would have to be left unexplained. But, by damn, I would not have abandoned everything the show had done, let down the fans, and used that over boiled bunch of tripe of as a final episode.
Perhaps, one day, someone who cares and who actually has a brain will redo the final season. But I doubt it. For one thing, just getting that cast back together would be nearly impossible. And after that last season, no one would fund it anyway.
