Strange Ending for a Comedy

It seems that I wasn't the only one thrown off by the strange twist of events at the end of Love's Labour's Lost; it was so weird & it didn't really seem to be consistent with the rest of the play. That and the fact that this play was so much shorter than what I'm used to from Shakespeare made me wonder if this wasn't just an unfinished play--But it was published in 1598, in the middle of Shakespeare's career.

That question made me think, though, that if any group is having trouble coming up with an ending for their play, it might be because it was unfinished at the time of Shakespeare's death.
