From what I gathered, Ben didn't feel he was ready to move on yet and possibly wasn't completely redeemed. Which is why he had things to do.
Question for you as you just completed a watch for the first time.
While there were obviously unanswered questions, were any of them important enough for you to actually freak out about not getting answered? Because there's a lot of that still from people who love to complain about the show and it always amuses me to no end.
For myself, there wasn't anything unanswered to me that was really glaring. Once item that I wanted, but was trivial, was one of the time jumping scenes where they were being shot at in a canoe. I don't think they ever looped back to show who was shooting at them and why, but, this is pretty inconsequential.
Overall, my biggest beef with the final seasons was
A) some of the answers were just underwhelming. The numbers in particular, but, this was more because the mythology of the numbers were built up so much.
B) A lot of the characters and new mysteries introduced in season 6 were not interesting.
For all of its flaws as a series, it still was very unique television, and they really had a great core of characters.
I feel like getting angry at LOST for having an underwhelming ending is like getting angry at a roller coaster for slowing down at the end.

Pretty good analogy. The rest of the show was fantastic no matter what your feelings are about the end.
I think it's the opposite. As a viewer, it drew me in because of the mystery and the hint of future rewards and spoils. The fanbase around the show was fantastic and really covered up a lot of its flaws: clunky, terrible dialogue, massive logical inconsistencies, bad acting, woeful storytelling.
It was just a really, really bad drama with a great hook and a lot of hype. There is no reason why anybody should credit the SHOW and not the experience of watching the show week-to-week... because there is a very real difference. The show itself is garbage melodrama that I regret watching, the experience was thrilling.
I'll never, ever lay my eyes on it again though. **** that show, **** Lindelof, **** those terrible actors.
But where did the polar bear come from?
They brought it in to perform tests on it. Or is this a joke question.

Joke question. I think he's making fun of the people who constantly demand answers to rather trivial questions (or questions that have already been answered).
It's actually been a while since I've seen it and I've no idea where the polar bear came from. You could have told me Hurley brought it in his hand luggage and I'd believe you.
Always said I wish I could go back and watch LOST without having a clue what happened. I've forgotten a ton about the show and am thinking about doing a re-watch but I fear everything would come rushing back once I start watching again.
Interesting that those that have re-watched feels it holds up well, it always struck me as an experience that would lose its incredible impact upon repeat viewings.
The first season is one of the best seasons in television history. It's so good. The quality of show dipped after that - but Season 1 was magical.Just finished my first rewatch of the show since the original airing.
I'd seen Season 1 numerous times in the past, but finally made it through a rewatch.
It was just as good as I remembered...absolutely incredible.
