Re: This week's LOST
SPOILER WARNING! (Just in case...)
I agree with BK and DR Jennifer on this--an episode like this would have been acceptable maybe four weeks ago (like the Richard Alpert episode was), but not during the final three weeks and especially not after the way we last left Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer on the beach.
And as for the episode itself, it felt rushed, crammed, full of plot holes and, worst of all, emotionally uninvolving. And I was not fond of the young actors--for a series that has consistently cast actors of incredible caliber in almost all of the significant roles, they've pulled a clunker with those two boys. Mark Pellegrino often looked puzzled about what he should be doing as Jacob, but Allison Janney and Titus Welliver saved the day as far as I'm concerned.
I'm just marking this one as a total misstep and hoping for the best in the next week's hour and then in the finale.
