Oh, sidenote, I know it's a small thing but I would have liked to know a reasoning behind some of the more... distinct noises that smokey made. Like the crazy mechanical sound that was sort of like a rollercoaster going slowly uphill.

That's an incredibly small thing. I think the answer is "cool sound effect"

I loved the characters, loved their individual stories, was pleased and teary-eyed when they re-connected, but even during the final episode every single viewer was not aware of the point of the flashsideways. 10 minutes of exposition explaining that to close a series is a cheat, in my book.

Well, it was (technically) a twist. It doesn't invalidate the rest of the sideways stories, it just forces us to view them differently when looking back on them. It's not a cheat to not reveal key plot information/twists until maximum-impact moments. Movies do it all the time.

Anyway, my annoying question: All evidence in the show suggests that the heart of the Island is literally impossible to find unless the Protector shows it to you. So what does the nearly-immortal Protector really have to do other than not take anyone to it?

My guess is that the well, Dharma stations, etc were tapping into various ports of the "heart", and they could eventually map it back... maybe. Which leads me to:

Think of the center of this wheel as the piss cave, and the magic wells as the arms:

Frozen donkey wheel/dharma symbol anyone?
