Lost – Season Finale – The Incident
As a longtime Lost viewer, last night’s two hour season finale was a bit of a letdown. Yes, there were some questions answered including what happened to Bernard and Rose but wedging “Jacob” into everyone’s past lives felt a bit forced and awkward in a way. and don’t get me started on the the fist-fight between Sawyer & Jack and the shootout at the Dharma camp. Those two scenes (along with some others) simply felt like they were just milking the clock, trying to stretch the story into a two hour special.
here are some random thoughts on last night’s show -
- It still seemed unnatural for Jack to decide to go through with the bombing of the Swan especially now that he revealed it was all because of Kate.
- And Juliet getting sucked down the shaft was sad but her motivation for going along with Jack was also a bit murky and underdeveloped.
- Learning that Jacob is just a man that doesn’t age (like Richard) wasn’t what I was expecting. sort of “meh” for me. I was actually distracted somewhat trying to remember where I’ve seen the actor (playing Jacob) before. It took me a while but Mark Pellegrino is best known as Rita’s ex-husband on Dexter.
- Oh, finding out Locke is actually quite dead was a nice twist. So I guess the living Locke isn’t Locke at all but “Man no. 2″ in the opening scene.
- and it appeared to me that Jacob was aware of Locke’s plan with Ben. So why didn’t Jacob put up a fight before Ben stabbed him? no struggle? for such a mystical figure, Jacob was pretty easy to kill. or can Jacob even be killed? hhmmmm…
- and the biggest downer of all – having to wait til 2010 for the next episode. so frustrating!

If I tried to jump back into Lost I'd be so lost. Haven't watched it since the ending of last season...Or was it two seasons ago....I forget. I do wonder how it's all unfolding though. Very tempting.

LikeMolly, my guess is that the explosion didn't fix it at all. Probably made things worse.
