The final season will be awful. I will watch, but it will be a letdown.
My main reason for thinking this way is simple: There is no chance for a "big reveal" anymore, not to the degree we hoped for early on in the series. Whatever climax the show reaches, it will probably be 2/3 of the way through so that they can wind it down. Long ago they could have kept the story going in a direction to easily end with a mind-blowing final episode, but I really don't think they can anymore. I've actually forgotten how many directions the show is currently going in, but none of them are as interesting as others I thought would play a bigger part long ago.
For example, after the first few seasons I thought we'd see more of a path along WHY "bad guys" were trying to find the island. We've learned plenty about the island, but not enough about why it would be kept secret, how it could affect the rest of the world, and why it's hidden (note: I realize we now know that the island moves).
I just hope we find out where those damn kids went that were on the smaller island. It has bugged the living crap out of me for 2+ seasons for them to have just left out those details.
