What I Liked:
- If everyone on Lost died in the next episode except for Ben and Locke and we had to spend the next season and a third just watching Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn play off each other, I might be okay with that (as long as we get guest spots from Desmond and Faraday)
- Bye Caesar. I guess you were just a redshirt who got a lot of lines.
- Ben didn’t kill Penny! Thank God. This was the one thing I was fearing all season long.
- We got to see Widmore’s reign as leader of the Others and his banishment
- I like new confident, almost all-knowing Locke and more importantly the effect the role reversal has on Ben.
- We finally get a closer look inside the Temple…or at least under it.
What I Didn’t Like:
- We didn’t get to see what happened when Young Ben went into the Temple and what about it changed him.
- I still don’t like the copout that Ben doesn’t remember anything about getting shot.
- Ben and Charles Widmore’s “youthful” hairstyles. Ben looked like a newly-retired member of A Flock of Seagulls and Charles…well, I don’t have anything witty to say about the Brillo pad he was wearing
- Tania Raymonde (Alex) still can’t act. I agree with James Poniewozik. She is the Sofia Coppola of Lost
