Mawkishness is maybe the polar opposite of resonance.]]> Twin Peaks' aesthetic and overall tone seems to lend itself so much better to all the ambiguity. And while Lost may achieve some long-term resonance, the problem with the finale was that it just devolved into sap.

Whereas soaps don't really end, they just die after a long, long time. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it too. I'm just disappointed; I wanted to see it all come together artfully and gloriously. @Hippity: I don't know if it sucked, exactly, but it was a pretty big letdown after the fact. And no, it was by no stretch of the imagination great. What was interesting about it to me was how it managed to hit all the structural beats of an ending, even if they were completely divorced from much of a coherent structure within the show as a whole, thus providing the emotional sense and satisfaction of something coming to a close. I mean, I was simultaneously annoyed by the finale and filled with a sense of resolution, even though very little was actually resolved. Smoke monster and mirrors, I guess.]]> Lost, such as that it would have one main overarching story line that all the subplots would tie into, and that it would have an end (even before the fact that it would indeed have an end was announced).

It was the first time anyone ever tried to do a serialized long-form story so large over so many seasons on network TV, and as such, it was probably doomed to be a bit of a bust. But one hopes it laid some groundwork for a future success.
