In the truest sense, "The End" revealed Lost as largely being a waste of time.

So much good stuff over six seasons gets fumbled by the final moments of The End.

It's weird to suddenly start getting big answers, isn't it?

"One day you can make up your own game, and everyone will have to follow your rules." - a young Not Locke/Smoke Monster, to Jacob

"No, trust me, you don't want to be on board that sub." - Not Locke to Claire

"If you're gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother... I think I have a right to know what you're getting in exchange for it." - Desmond to Sayid

"Wow, what a coincidence." - Hurley

"The island isn't done with you yet." – Charles Widmore to Desmond

"A wise man once said war is coming to this island. I think it just got here." – Not Locke

"Do I sound like somebody who has a plan?" – Richard Alpert

"I'm the smoke thing." – Not Locke

"How different would it have been? The island still got you in the end." – Ben to Lapidus

"I know what kind of man you are. " – Sayid's brother to Sayid

"Someone's coming to the island. I need you to help them find it." - Jacob to Hurley

This is Lost, baby, and the final season is going to be one hell of a deliciously mind bendingly bumpy fun/death ride.
