Just assume that you will get very disappointed with the ending. This will reduce the disappointment with the ending.

The ending itself perhaps isnt so bad, but if you were watching the show when it came out (you know: weekly discussions, speculations), you would get very disappointed -> the authors said that the show wouldnt end with a particular ending.. and then it had that particular ending.

Ending of season 1 and beginning of season 2 is very good TV. I also liked the season 5, despite the very disappointing ending.

This is untrue. The creators did say that the show wouldn't end in a particular way, and it didn't end that way. However, there was an element within the ending that had some superficial similarities to the way that the creators said it wouldn't end, so some people misinterpreted the ending as being the way the creators said it wouldn't be.

I think they said it wasnt supposed to be a purgatory.

Then the last episode was kind of a purgatory.

They could have made a final episode where they just show all actors, instead of what they did.
