I haven't read any theory about Lost or what it's creators intended until those handy links above. The show always struck me as largely an emotional parable about fear and uncertainty in the wake of 9/11. With lashings of brash Christianity, cod philosophy and suchlike.
I similarly found last night's finale easier to appreciate on an emotional level and some of those flashes of realising previous personal connection moved me. I really wasn't looking for a resolved plot, so I'm finding it hard to relate to the annoyance of those who clearly did.

More about property market and wealth trends - streets with median house prices of $1m go from only 15 a decade ago to 352 five years ago to 535 today (with 230 of them in Auckland).
Herne Bay is the new 'winner' with seaside Cremorne St boasting a median of $5.6m. For a house.

Agree there's a world of difference between "builder" and "property developer" or "large materials supplier".
The disgrace over the way this fiasco was handled falls on both Labour and National governments - especially given that Canada had already provided an example of both problem and solution if only our leaders had bothered looking up from enriching big business or covering their arses.
Sofie, that's a more constructive sounding McCarten - and the debate sure sounded like an interesting one to be at.
