Its too bad Bob Denver is dead. I think it would be really cool if at the end of season 3, you finally got to see the HE that is leader of the others, and it was Gilligan.

I believe last season that the "Black Rock" which Rousseau mentioned frequently turned out to be the ship wreckage where Jack, Locke and the others found the dynamite to blow open the hatch.

I must be the only one that thought they did a good job with Walt. I couldn't really tell a difference.
I thought the episode was a bit weak because it seemed forced that doc would just go ahead and let Michael call the shots. It also seemed a little fake that the only one who noticed Michael had an agenda was Sayid. Also, shouldn't Locke have already told Sayid about the ?-hatch? Sayid should be down there repairing things and finding out what else they can watch with those cameras. |

The last 15 minutes were awful. What in the world was the behavior by Charlie? We go from daytime insanity and Charlie stumbling onto the beach to nightime. So, Charlie doesn't/can't explain where Eko and Locke are and no one checks out the hatch? Huh?
The show feels like it's written by the same people behind "The Scary Door" on Futurama. |

There are about 10000 things that I hated about the last 15 minutes. The writers had a chance to give us some answers.
But instead we learned that the Others think they are the 'good people'. And we learned nothing about what happened to the hatch. We learned nothing about where the Others actually stay. Nothing about what happened to Walt. Nothing about why they wanted Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. These are plots they started in season two and should have been answered in season two. |

I don't understand why people get mad that plotlines go for more than one season... it's not a sitcom. Anyways I didn't like the last 15 minutes very much either, but not because it left unanswered questions.

Agreed. If what you want is just a bunch of answers and a completely linear plot might I recommend the following shows: CSI CSI: Miami CSI: New York Law & Order Law & Order: SVU Law & Order: Criminal Intent House Some of those shows are great, some are decent, and some are not so great, but you're almost guaranteed (with a few exceptions sprinkled in here and there) to get all of the answers to all of your questions with about 8-10 minutes left in the show.

I didn't mind the last 15 minutes. I didn't necessarily enjoy the "artic pole" scene all that much, but the rest was fine. It's looking more and more like Charlie could be infected, who knows...

Meh, for you that might be the case, but for others it's because this isn't written like shows that are episodic in nature. And while I agree that the writing has gone a bit downhill this season, it was very good (IMO) last year during that finale... and people had a huge problem with that because it left unanswered questions. This show is about mystery and suspence... they've answered some questions and left others unanswered, thats the whole point of the show. If people have a problem with that, then you're watching the wrong type of show (see HB's post for shows you might enjoy more).

Yes, and they've done so at the expense of any semblence of reality. Jack and Sayid were once screwing around in the "basement," they didn't find the shut-down switch down there? They found their orientation film on the shelf and Ecko had the missing parts in a hollowed-out book. Despite that, Desmond's rubber band-bound book still sat on the shelf untouched? Sawyer, Kate, Jack, and Hurley all find out that Michael is leading them into a trap AND he just killed romantic interests for two of them... so naturally, no one flinches. The guy would have had the living shit kicked out of him, on natural reaction alone. I'm fine with them not paying off a lot of the mystical stuff with the island, but the moment you have people not even acting remotely human, it becomes tough to tolerate. I'll probably pass on season 3 until it's completely done airing unless they tighten up the airing schedule significantly. |

I thought it was a great episode. It closed some doors and opened a few new ones. We now know what caused the plane crash.
We know what happens when the button is not pushed (pretty clearly explained by Kelvin and then demonstrated at the end). We found out where the pneumatic (sp?) tube sends the results of the observations and can now suspect that it might have been the placebo (unless you believe they are, or were once, picked up periodically). We found out what happened to Desmond and how and why he is there. We got to see Michael and Walt reunited. I am pretty pleased with the "results" of this one. And now we have some new storylines opening up. Michael's directions to leave let us know that there is, presumably, a way out. Pen and her resources give us someone on the outside looking for the island now (and I suspect her father is involved or the CEO of Dharma?). We will be wondering all Summer what will happen to Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Echo, Desmond, Michael, and Walt (I'm guessing that some of them will not be back). There is the possibility that more people could be added to the island from this system failure. I can understand people not caring for the last 15 minutes, but I liked the Penelope twist. |

Even if I agree with everything above, what does any of this have to do with people not liking this show because it isn't episodic? Quote:
It will be shown in three "bursts" of shows next season, to end the confusion from week to week.

The second season was nowhere near as good as the first season, but I liked the finale tonight. I'm absolutely certain I'd really enjoy the show more just waiting and watching the DVDs (as far as season 3 and beyond), but I don't know if I could stand the wait.

The idea that we should expect no answers or we should expect CSI or Law & Order is ridiculous. I don't want EITHER of those. I don't want everything answered in every episode. But each season should have some kind of overriding arc and "some" of the questions should be answered in the finale.
This season was just a mess. Every single episode seemed to be some kind of pointless exercise until they could get us to the twist in the final 5 minutes. We didn't learn much more about the characters from season 1, they killed two characters that had just started to become very interesting, and they ignored other characters. If the writing was good, they would be able to provide lots of answers, while coming up with plenty more questions at the same time. The sad thing is it seems like the writers have run out of ideas, so they can't afford to answer anything. I mean, last week we got a whole damn episode that spent an entire hour telling us what every viewer with half a brain already knew.

They've been in there pushing the button for at least a month. You don't think you'd be taking an extensive look around the hatch while killing every 108 minutes? I know i would have listened to every record, checked out every peculiarity about the place, etc. And I would certainly open a bound-up book to see what the hell was inside, especially after two important pieces of info have been discovered in or hidden behind books.

well I'm still enjoying the show very much. You have to suspend disbelief at times, but really it's been like that from day one.
so, I'm starting to suspect that the Others ARE good guys; rebels in the Star Wars vein trying to bring down some sort of evil world takeover plot from Dharma.

The shut down button was under a hatch covered by a set of computer equipment inside the room with the computer. I don't believe that's the same area (or had access to the same area) as where Jack and Sayid went.
