I disagree, I think the opposite. In the beginning, yes there were mythological unknowns, but they would slowly get explained with real world explanations. Toward the end of the show that stopped happening.
I think the flashbacks in the first few seasons lead to some of the strongest character development, that also shifted in the final seasons.
I watched it straight through, loved it. However, my point of contention isn't how it ended, but the shift from real world to mythology.
