Did you miss the Nerd Superbowl last night? Well, if you did, Losties were glued to their TVs last night for the two and a half series finale. After six incredible seasons, Lost had viewers on edge wonder what in the world was going on. Would the Oceanic 6 get off the island? Could they reverse what happened? How would their ‘flash sideways’ lives end? Losties and viewers who couldn’t find anything else interesting to watch wanted answers. Yet, ‘answers’ is a loose term for what exactly the finale revealed. We won’t reveal any spoilers incase you didn’t catch the finale last night. But the ending is epic and most fans were left satisfied. Well done, Lost, your six-year run captured viewers and left most in tears and shock.
