Flash Back to the future

So the season finale was a bit of a mixed bag for my tastes. I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10. There were definitely some good points, but a lot of dumb stuff too. Here’s the good and bad according to me.

Jack is even more of a whiney bitch than we thought. OK we get the whole “fallen hero theme”.  We actually got it in season 1.

Jin can’t shoot for shit.

Bernard sucks.  A 12 year old girl can keep a secret better than him. 

Wouldn’t it have been easier to cut the power cable to the underwater hatch, thus turning off the signal jamming?  Hmmmmm.

Ben’s treasure map may have been the gayest thing ever.

God Damn! Walt grew about 2 feet in the 8 weeks that have supposedly passed since he left. He looked like he was ready to try out for the NBA.

Scentless Apprentice kicked ass.  Absolutely the best song placement of the show so far.

How can you drive a van through a jungle with no road?  It’s a VW bus, not a Hummer for crying out loud.

Sayid snapping that guys neck with his feet, then sawyer killing Tom was sweet.  Finally, something happened.   Big points for that scene.

Wouldn’t it have been better for Charlie to go outside of the little room to shut the door.  What was the point of locking himself in there to get flooded.  Seems like he could have saved Des just as easily on the other side of the door.  And by the way, why the hell won’t patchy die already?  That dude is like an unflushable turd.

Finally the ending.  So the whole flashback was a flash forward.  That’s the big cliffhanger?  Wow, talk about a serious let down.  So Kate and Jack get off the island, but what’s to say it was from the time with the phone and not 2 seasons from now.  That’s the problem with a flash forward.  Is everyone going to start having flash forwards now?  So will Jack somehow come to his senses and try to stop the rescue?  Who the hell knows, who cares?   I thought it would be a tough wait with some huge event happening for the cliffhanger, but with this lame twist it will be a piece of cake.  School’s out for summer!
