Walter said:I just turned the TV off, halfway through the episode, becauseFuck this show. Seriously.Sun just hit her head on a tree and forgot how to speak English.
Yeah that was awful.
Locke running after her like he'd been tranquilized was the all time low for me though. I like Jin though so the fast-forward parallel universe stuff was tolerable despite the cheese, and well I AM excited that Desmond is back, though definitely not because of how it was treated in the show.
CowTip said:It was a very boring episode. I've never seen such a highly anticipated season have so much filler. This could very well be the most disappointing planned finale of all time. The side flashes were a terrible idea. A pox on the writers I say. I'm sticking it out to the end, but ugh.
Yeah it's too late for us now. Eluvei, just leave us behind and save yourself while you still can. Don't repeat our mistakes.
CowTip said:And flying off the island is the only way he can escape? How does that make sense? He's had multiple boats to ride on... I just... /sigh.
Yeah, none of it makes any sense unless Evil Dude really just plans to kill them all, like he told Jacob. It's what I've been expecting him to do but honestly at this point it's hard to tell what bad idea they'll come up with next.
グリフィス said:It goes beyond this episode, considering what they set out to do with the remainder of the series, this season has been an unmitigated disaster even the most pessimistic of Lost fans didn't see coming. It started out slow, and if anything, has seemingly regressed since The Temple. Since then, we've just been watching them go in circles in the jungle, and it makes it sad what they've done to characters like Locke, Sayid, and Claire because the payoffs haven't justified it in any way. It's basically been the worst of Lost all rolled into one season, I feel like they could have done almost anything else and it would have been better. They haven't even done a decent job on the criteria of just making another entertaining season, let alone a satisfying finale. Basically, this would be the lamest season of Lost under any circumstances.
Sayid may not feel any emotions anymore but his lines sure elicit DISMAY and BOREDOM in me.
"War just got here." Oh fuck me, reaaaally? Widmore the Moriarty wannabe is now the chosen one, savior of mankind? Fuck that. And super evil smokey can't do shit either, great. Maybe they should just confine him between four tightly placed pillars and leave him there then. Oh and are there sonic pillars around the submarine too? Because I didn't see any. Why didn't he fuck the sub up and destroy whatever was there?
Lastly, going back to the Temple people, good job of introducing yet more characters no one cares about and who served little to no purpose only to kill them soon after, just like for the science team fiasco. At this point the remaining episodes might as well all focus on Jacob's girlfriend whose name I can't even remember.
P.S. When Jack started talking about how he'd seen a case of aphasia like Sun's once, it was so blatantly expository even the actor seemed embarrassed.
