What I Liked:
- Great acting all-around especially the tense shootout at the future Swan station
- This season has been Josh Holloway’s moment to shine and he did not disappoint
- Jack and Sawyer come to full-fledged blows
- Rose, Bernard and Vincent! I’m glad the writers effectively wrote them out of the show but in a completely satisfying way that was true to their character
- We finally meet the infamous Jacob and see the four-toed statue (it appears to be Sobek)
- I liked Jacob’s flashback showing him nudging Kate, Jack, Sayid, Sawyer, Locke and Hurley along.
- It also appears we have met the true villain of Lost (I’ll call him “Black” from this point forward because it couldn’t have been a coincidence that he was wearing black while Jacob was in white during the first scene)
- Sun found Charlie’s DriveShaft ring!
- I’m glad that the “what lies in the shadow of the statue” people are the good guys too.
- We finally know what lies in the shadow of the statue: “That which will save us all.” (translated from Latin)
- I knew it was Locke’s body in that box!
- If this is the end for Elizabeth Mitchell (it appears so), she went out with a bang figuratively and literally. I don’t think I ever wanted a person to be saved during a cliched “don’t let me go or I’ll fall” scene than I wanted Juliet to be saved
What I Didn’t Like:
- Sayid bleeding to death in the back of the van and I have the radioactive core of a hydrogen bomb, sure, I have five minutes to chat
- The fact that Kate played even a minuscule factor in Jack’s decision to set off the H-Bomb made me groan and wish that Jack got shot.
- I hated Juliet’s flip-flop to go along with Jack’s plan because of Sawyer’s glance to Kate during Bernard’s speech about being with the one you love. But I was okay with it more than I was Jack.
