I wasn't a huge fan of this epi, but I do like how they are forming "sides" in this big showdown to come. Sayid is a character I've always wanted to see redeemed, and at peace with his life choices, but it doesn't look like I'll ever get my wish. Very, very dark stuff going on. I loved Ben's mini-scene, though, and the way he backed away from Sayid. Awesome.

I have two way view of the show.
1. I hope/try to trust that they are going to end it fabulously. Nestor said in the interview that he has got all the answers he needed and some extra too. So hopefully something great is yet to come.
2. The whole thing is kind of childish and randomly invented like "Guys, what are we going put there next week? I have an idea: polar bear! In the jungle, how cool is that!? Like in this old comic book. Hey, why not put this in too?". And there is no greater plot / point, so we finally end at the thought: This sucked!
Season 6 have somewhat seemed like latter one, but the things may turn, maybe in the next episode... (Or maybe, and most possibly, it is mix of both.)

I still trust the writers. Clearly they are building up to something huge, so there is bound to be some filler as they do so, but...wow. Something really evil is happening.

but guys we must know one thing for sure that new characters have a role in the upcoming events the writers of series aren't so stupid to destroy the great success of the series,by themselves although I of skeptics on the subject of increasing the characters and dramatically Line of the new temple , but in any case I love this series a lot and will watch it to the end In general, it still in the beginning , It is possible that the abc production company 's officials plans to make this part as the final season with the largest number of Episodes

I have decided not to continue watching the show. I can't even be bothered with Ben's episode next week I think that you are jumping the gun. But it's your decision. Having read a lot of fiction, I've seen occasions like the type LOST is doing, where you don't know where their heading till the end approaches (or sometimes, you don't know till the end, period). And, no, 10 episodes away is not the end yet. Ten episodes is equivalent to 10 chapters. Each chapter, for a 40 minute show, is about 150-200 pages. So you see, we have ways to go.

The last 6x 40 mins have been filled with utter rubbish and Jears tho. I can't take anymore. As far as I'm concerned Juliet nuked the place, they all died, the island sank to the bottom of the ocean. Bad Robot.

Bad Robot. LOL, Steph. It's just a show. It's a show that is pushing the buttons and will be talked about for years. There will be college courses about this phenomenon. You and Sandy should just take deep breaths and calm down. Remember that before Michael showed up, we all loved the show with the Jears. Jack is important because he messes things up. Kate is important because somehow she will save them all. Is it confusing, you bet it is. And that's what I love about it. Now, let just say one more thing. A lot of people are dreaming about Ben and Annie. Some are getting angry because it definitely looks like Annie won't show up. Well, yes, she won't. As good an actor Michael is, he would flunk in a love story. He just doesn't cut it. I am sure that's one of the reasons the show did not continue with that storyline. Michael is funny and is able to play great sinister characters, but not love scenes. And it's OK. Not everyone can do sisnister characters and be funny, too.

Yes it is just a show, thats why I have chosen not to continue watching it. I don't see why it's such a huge deal.
The Jears pissed me off from the beginning- I never watched the last part of S1 and only watched the first half of S2 last weekend. I only began properly watching S3 after seeing the S2 finale a few months before on TV.
I couldn't care less about Ben and Annie. All I wanted was for the show to actually deliever some of the bullshit hype its been giving itself. It hasn't

Kate is important because somehow she will save them all. What makes you think that??? Somehow, because 1. she is #51, which is 15 backwards 2. she was supposed to be the heroine when J.J. thought up LOST. Jack was supposed to have died in the pilot and not the pilot. and 3. She just happened to be there at the Temple during Sundown, and by the looks of Unlocke, she was a variable that he was not counting on.

Actually I'm not angry - I'm just disappointed.
Maybe my expectations were too high - but it's the last season...THEY have built up expectations, THEY have hyped it up and so far we've ended up with some pretty poor stuff. Poor enough that fanfiction writers could do a lot better.
And yes - I watched "Lost" before Michael turned up - but it was the character of Henry/Ben that intrigued me so much that I kept watching. I was on the verge of giving up because, to be honest, the Losties - especially that godawful Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle they keep beating us over the head with - were irritating in the extreme. Before Henry/Ben turned up - Locke was about the only character that was even a tiny bit intriguing.
I'm fully aware that not all questions will be answered. I'm fully aware that some of us won't like the answers we do get. And yes, I'm fully aware that Ben isn't THE most important character in the show.
I don't like the way the show is going at the moment but I'll probably stick with it even though the main questions I personally wanted answered are so obviously not going to be.

hrrmm....I'm not sure I buy it, but it's an interesting theory. I kind of think Kate is a dead woman walking, now that's she's walked into the wrong side of this battle, and she is now a target for Claire's psychopathic tendencies...
I think Jack OR Hurley will save them all. No matter what happens, though, I have felt for a very long time that Hurley will have a major role to play in the climax. I think he is the most "special" of them all, which is why he was chosen to guide Jack to the Lighthouse.

I agree entirely, except for the bit about continuing to watch it Whether you watch or not is entirely up to you. You are the one missing out on the convo. But just let me say one thing: In storytelling there's a thing called BUILDING UP YOUR STORY. That's when all sorts of what some might construe as boring or uninteresting is weaved. This weave just happens to be the foundation of where the story is going. Without the foundation, the story is nothing. Just think about that.
