The writers made a deal with ABC to end the show after six seasons. The writers made sure to plan for the end and provide answers to all the big mysteries. If you're not satisfied with the answers given, it's your choice, dude. Just like Lost, you can either wallow in misery or accept what happened and move on. If it's any consolation, I forgive you.

It's a shame. I was starting to give up on FlashForward until they revealed that Janice was a double agent. Then they reveled she was a triple agent! And then they reveled that she blew her cover to save Mark!!!
Maybe the problem with FlashForward is the same as with The Handler -- I think many viewers simply can't keep track of what's happening and lose interest. That's probably why Lost's focus on the characters was successful.
they were holding on to their fantasy about what life would have been like without the island

That's the show I watched last night. He explained perfectly. I suppose some people were expecting some rational explanation, and I can see how they would be disappointed. Darlton said all along there wouldn't be one, because they were let down by the midichlorian explanation in the Star Wars prequels.

I remember them saying distinctly that they would not give a scientific explanation. They gave the example of the horrible midicholians explanation in the Star Wars prequels as to why such explanations are always disappointing. They said they like the Harry Potter series where it's never explained why some people are born witches or wizards. They just are.
Juliet said it worked because they were able to live out a fantasy in which the island never existed for them.
I want to know how Ben ended up in Rousseau's trap and who was shooting at the outrigger. Oh well, those are minor mysteries.

It's what came out after Jacob threw his twin brother into the hole with the light and the water. Every answer results in another mystery, doesn't it?

It wasn't all a dream. After the Losties died (after the very real events on and off the island), they went to purgatory, aka the flashsideways. Then, realizing that they were holding on to their fantasy about what life would have been like without the island, they accepted what happened to them and were set free.

I don't understand why other Lost fans haven't liked the last season of the show. The big questions were answered, but they seem not to like the answers provided. I've been a fan since the beginning, and I thought the end was beautiful.
The one part that left me wondering was the shot of the fuselage in the credits. The best explanation I read was that it's the final remains of the 815 crash after all the Losties died. It's the mystery that other people brought to the island in the future will wonder about, like we wondered about the hatch, the statue, Henry Gale's balloon, and so on.
I was using Windows 2000 in October 1999, months before it was released. I saw several BSOD, but it was still better than Windows 98SE. After Microsoft released IE 5.5, the BSOD disappeared and for the first time I was able to run Windows for weeks at a time with a reboot or crash. Perhaps Windows NT was more stable, but I never used it.
They should hire professional statisticians to look over the work before making claims that have such staggering and widespread implications for the universe! I'm looking forward to Watts Up With That's debunking of all this sham science.
I can't wait for Watts Up With That to release a few pictures of some of the survey participants walking out of tanning salons and living near radar towers and claiming the study is a sham as a result. Besides, everyone already knows that scientists keep doing these studies just because they're greedy for all the grant money they get rich from.
You clearly have no idea of the magnitude of the conspiracy to suppress the cure for cancer. All those cancer researchers just want to get rich from the grant money by doing more "research"!
Where do you think you are? This is Slashdot, where no one cares about the unintended consequences of their actions or policy changes. We just want to get software for free, get music for free, park for free, to use other people's brilliant ideas for free. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

Chrome has grabbed about 7% share in one and a half years. It is an impressive feat, so there's no need to exaggerate.
Unfortunately, most of the excess carbon dioxide that doesn't remain in the atmosphere seems to result in ocean acidification.
Man cannot increase the water vapor level directly, because it quickly precipitates out of the atmosphere. That's why it's a feedback, not a forcing.
