Now that it's a closed canon, would you guys recommend it?
Absolutely. You have barely scratched the surface of the Awesome.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think know how it ended would make a rewatch or new-watch more interesting.

I think that would depend on why you dumped it.
I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed it from start to finish and am not tempted at all to rewatch.

All right, someone just pointed out that it was Miles who said that Juliet's last words were "It worked." And that's what she said in the Sideways world after Sawyer reset the vending machine. She wasn't referring to the nuke at all! Huh.
I laughed so much when we saw that the "it worked" line referred to a candy machine. And then, today I rewatched the scene and at first Juliet says, "If you unplug it, then plug it back in again - the candy just drops right down." And I thought that's basically what Desmond and Jack were doing in the final episode! And I laughed some more.
I love that scene, though. I was waiting all season for it and it was worth the wait. For me the finale worked just because it had so many beautiful moments.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was rolling my eyes at the characters, iIrc. I did not give a damn at all about the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle, and the show seemed to be a lot about that at the time. I'm trying to remember just how far I got into it...I know they had gotten into the Hatch...

Oh, I remember that being tiresome. You can fast forward through all that, now!
Yeah, it got better, I'd say. Other characters had way better arcs.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The fact that it was actual bit of dialogue from Sideways-Juliet didn't come up, I don't think.
That was what was annoying me. Misdirect. I'd been waiting for the final Sawyer & Juliet dialogue to come up - but I didn't think "It worked" would. We were supposed to think that was an actual message via Miles - like some of the other messages he communicates.

Some humor courtesy of my brother.
We were on IM when I told him I had to go watch the finale. "Hurley devours the island," he predicted.
When I returned, I told him he wrong.
Tonight, he said, "You're a liar, Hurley did eat the island."
"No, he didn't."
His response: "He drank the island, he drank it up."
