IT’S got to have the most apt name of any TV show in history.

The Lost finale has left me – and quite a few others – pretty baffled.

Of course, a show which answered approximately one question per episode while asking at least another 100 was never going to have a straight-forward ending.

But still we tuned in in our droves – an incredible 600,000 UK viewers on Monday, 68,000 of them live at 5am – hoping for some sort of epiphany.

Over the years on the mysterious tropical island, we’ve encountered polar bears, a rather vicious creature made out of black smoke and more mad scientists than you can shake a stick at.

This is the place where a jumbo en route from Australia to the US and a plane carrying a religious mission from Africa both managed to crash.

All the build up over the years put a lot of pressure on the creators to come up with a final episode that ties up all the loose ends.

But, the fact is, there is no logical explanation for either the mysteries surrounding the island or what brought together characters like Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Hugo and Sun.

Many viewers will feel that continuing with the series despite everything has proved a waste of time.

But, I’ve decided, what’s 120 hours stretched across six years when you’re laid on the sofa in the company of Matthew Fox, hunky Dr Jack in the show?

You can’t satisfy everyone I suppose.

But, as they say, it’s better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all…
