Lost ending was lame. "It's about the characters" is a lame justification too. It's a drama tv show. Having characters that don't suck is expected. It's not a nice to have, it's a must have.
The point isnt the characters dont suck. Its that the focus on the character narrative popularized the concept in modern form.
The flashbacks were specifically character driven arcs, not devices to further the plot which was more common. People often forget but Lost absolutely modernized character driven narratives with set pieces attached which wasnt a common thing.
