Lost Finale

Tommorrow the last episode of Lost will be broadcast. According to the fansite wiki Lostpedia there are about 116 Solved mysteries, 16 partially solved mysteries, and 13 unsolved mysteries, and 1 canonically explained. 5 of these unsolved mysteries were brought up during this recent season. It seems unrealistic that all 29 remaining mysteries will be answered but keep in mind that some mysteries such as Adam and Eve, the Origin and nature of the smoke monster, and the whipsers have been addressed, but not with out bringing up a few quesitons in the process. I think the problem with unanswered questions is that the producers honestly planed to answer a lot of them but then they thought of some way to make the show wacky and they got so excited that they ran out of time. Some of the unsolved mysteries include the Hurley bird, the supply drop, the sunken island. Walt's been one of the biggest mysteries since season 1 and I'd be surprised to see him in the finale at all tommorrow. Something silly about Lost is is that some mysteries should be answered. In season 4 or 5 Locke visits Walt after shcool in New York and all they did was say hi. Wouldn't Locke want to know why he saw him in the Season 3 finale when he was in a pit; wouldn't Walt want to know how Locke got of the island. A simillar thing happened in this season when Kate and Claire were together and Kate didn't ask why Claire walked off that one night leaving Aaron. It's unrealistic that asking these questions would not have occured to the characters but in reality the characters say what the screenwriters want them to say. They might actaully be able to solve quite a few mysteries by simply stating or implying the the smoke monster (whose name we may or may not lear) is the solution. But a lot of mysteries will have to wait a few years untill Lindelof and Cuse are at Comic Con or in an interview about their next project.
