How Stephen King Would End Lost

I hope this is just because they put him on the spot, because as much as I like King, it's not a very good idea.

Quote from thetailsection.com
"Here, in his own words, is how Stephen King would end LOST:

I would take the main guy, Jack – the first shot of the whole series is his eye-ball close up, right? What that always said to me was that from now on, everything I see, Jack’s the eye of the beholder. So I would do something at the end where I flashback to the airport when they were getting on the plane, and I would have him taken away by people who wanted information out of him.

I would have them hook him up to a machine or something, or feed him drugs, and reveal the whole series had been Jack’s hallucination, built out of fragments of his real life – people from his past, people in the airport, his father, of course, and the numbers. The whole thing would be a lot of shuck and jive. I’d make it work somehow. It would creak, but I’d make it work.
"

Though, it is very Twilight Zone...but this isn't 1960, and this isn't one 30-minute episode. It wouldn't work, and would be as big a tragedy as the Matrix Revolutions fiasco.
