After promosing so much for six years i feel a little bit let down with that ending.

It was actually a really good ending, there was a lot to think about and those not liking it seem to not totally get the ending.

Spoiler: 

They weren't dead all the time, everything on the Island did happen. The flash sideways was a place that one of them created so that when each of them no matter when they died could easily find each other again, and eventually they all went to heaven/moved on together.

The reason for not everyone being in the church was that although others were in the world that was created they weren't all as close as the main characters had become. However in the case of Ben, he didn't feel ready to go with everyone.

I know its over but have added spoiler tags for those that may not have seen it yet.
