What I Liked:
- What a great episode! Definitely one of the best of the season and probably will make the top 15 episodes of Lost ever.
- Jeremy Davies gave an amazing performance and I hope if isn’t overlooked come Emmy time. From his confidence as he tried to get his plan moving to the look on his face when he realized everything he believed was wrong and he was betrayed by the person he loved the most (finally someone on the show has mommy issues)
- The scene between Daniel and young Charlotte was touching (although it’s sad that adult Charlotte remember him as some crazy man)
- The look on Juliet’s face when Sawyer called Kate “Freckles” and how quickly she gave her the code for the sonic fence like “Time to go, bitch”
- Desmond lived!
- Confirmation that Charles Widmore was Daniel’s father
- All the call backs to previous episodes this season like young Charlotte’s line, the opening scene to the season, Jughead
- As everything started to fall apart, LaFleur slowly turned back into Sawyer with the nicknames
- Jack is out of the weed haze he’s been in since heading back to the island and is actively involved again
- The shootout with Radzinsky (even though we know he’s going to blow his brains out in the Hatch, I wish he could die twice)
- The final scene was just…WOW. Faraday didn’t just get shot, his whole world imploded on him looking into his young mother’s eyes and Davies played it perfectly.
- A special shout-out to President Obama for wrapping up his press conference on time. He must be a Lost fan
What I Didn’t Like:
- If he really is dead, I’m really really going to miss Jeremy Davies. His performances were one of the biggest highlights of the last two seasons.
- Now, despite how great an episode this is, I’m concerned if this is the endgame – altering the past to change the future. I don’t think is (we still have another season to go plus the people in the present) but I really hope that’s not how everything gets resolved.
