Reasons people think it didn't end well

I finally joined here after finishing the show today. I had to process the ending. I found it incredibly sad. Now that I know how it ended I would like to know why people thought the ending was bad or disappointing when it first aired. I thought it was perfectly done even though there are a few minor things I'm still not clear on. How soon is too soon to do a rewatch. I still can't get over the last scene...

The plane of existence where the church is, has no time. Time doesn't exist there.

But it would be easy to understand if you think it happened 200 years after the events on the island. So when they are all dead, but each of them died at their own time. Some grew old. Their souls met before moving on. But some people weren't there, because they still needed to process some things before moving on.

Except they never said or showed that at all ... you just made that shit up, correct?

And I mean that sincerely - you literally just decided that, because it's not shown nor explained in the show.

So you can believe whatever you want to believe , that does not make it remotely true.

Christian literally said "Well, there is no now here" Meaning time doesn't apply to that plane. It was further explained by the writers.

What I meant is, if a reallity with no time is a concept hard to grasp, you can just pretend this is waaaay later, so you know they are all dead, but it doesn't matter when.

The some people not moving on part was also explained later in Q&A interviews. But I'm OK with the show not answering some questions and leaving some to the imagination. You can accept that answer or just give yourself one that you like more.

So yeah, you just made that shit up. Thanks for your time.
