Land of the 4 toed giants!

So the big season finale came and went.  As predicted some things were explained, but not fully, and more questions were left.  How long do they think they can drag this thing out?  Some of the things that happened were almost laughable.  When the giant 4 toed foot statue was discovered, I though “this has to be their attempt at humor.  But then I realized that’s one of the big problems with the show is that it takes itself too seriously.  When shows do that, eventually they become a mockery of themselves.  Another funny part was when Desmond followed the other hatch dude and found his sailboat.  The amateurish CGI of the boat in the cove looked like something out of a 70’s sci-fi show!  Not to mention the psychedelic sky effect when the hatch blew up. Oh man, it was painful to watch almost.  The big cliffhanger at the end wasn’t even really that big.  As soon as the guy reached for the yellow phone, everyone knew they were calling Desmond’s rich girlfriend.  The whole “you can find anyone when you have money like I do” pretty much gave that one away. 

A couple of obvious predictions for next season: 

Of course Walt will turn the boat around and go back to help his friends.  John will miraculously survive the hatch meltdown.  Our beloved trio will escape the others with the help of Rambo Sayid.  That’s about all I can think of for now.  Yeah, a summer without Lost!
