psocopteraOn further reflection: I still love it. Yes, there are a lot of things that don't make sense, but, enh, it was fun, they told a good story, I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and write off most of the mysteries as a long con on the part of Smokey or Jacob. They acknowledged that Jacob was a dick with stupid and arbitrary rules, so hey.
A partial list of things I liked:
- that Kate got to kill Smokey. She got to do something significant! Something fitting her backstory
of having tried to kill to protect someone and it not working out!
- Kate and Claire off to be Aaron's two mommies.
- Rose and Bernard!
- that Richard discovers an interest in life after all.
- Lapidus! flies the fucking plane!
- Sun and Jin's sudden magical English skills in the do-over, hee.
- Hurley. Oh god, Huuuuuurley. I think Josh was bothered by how emotional I got when he takes up the mantle but wah, that was like The Moment for me, Good defeating not only Evil but also Dickishness, but at the cost of Hurley getting to have a life... wah.
- Sawyer and Juliette!
- I was a little dubious about Sayid/Shannon - I was always more of a Sayid/Nadia shipper - but, I dunno, I'm willing to believe that Nadia was always kind of mixed up with the war for him, and Shannon was something totally fresh and new. Or just that you can love someone deeply like he did Nadia without them being part of your karass and the group we see at the end isn't all of everyone's personal loved ones, it's the karass.
- I wish we'd seen Eko in the do-over, but I guess he wasn't connected enough to everyone to be part of the karass? Or maybe he just went straight to heaven to reunite with Yemi or whatever?
