Not great, no. Definitely did not need to be two hours.

I was kinda annoyed once Jakob started appearing in people's pasts without doing anything (Sun and Jin, Jack). Just to be there.

He touched everyone, for some reason, probably destiny.

If you understand a city as a living organism, and you understand how nature works, then you must know that diversity only makes things stronger. In other words, it's not the people coming into a city who weaken its character, it's the people who leave because they can't accept change.

Once I saw the candy bar get stuck, I thought, "Christ, if Jacob uses the vending machine and offers Jack the extra candy bar..." It was painful.

Jeez! Yeah, how awful it is to have a scene where somebody gives somebody a candy bar! Series ruin-er!

I thought it was weird that Jacob helped everyone except Sayid. Jastroch says that he saved him from getting hit by the car, but the timing suggests to me that Sayid and his lady would have cleared the path of the car if not for Jacob's interference. Either way, it's just odd that Sayid's encounter with Jacob meant so much more than the others.

And agreed, there was no need for 2 hours and it was less of a cliffhanger than the average episode. But still, it had some pretty cool stuff going on.

Totally, that's what got the Honeymooners cancelled. When Jacob handed him the candybar, I just shut off the tv and wept.

Great SERIES finale! Man, everyone's just dead. How very existential.

I've never seen a series just end with so much annihilation. Amazing.

They should have a LOST II. I mean, just never resolving who Locke actually was. Wow.

It took some balls to finish off a series so open-endedly.

It's the end of the season, not the series. They have one more to go.

I mean to go from reviving Locke after his fall with a touch and pulling Sayid aside while his wife is run down to giving good tidings at a wedding and handing a candy bar and lame advice about how "sometimes you have to push it". It was just ridiculous. After a while I didn't need to see him popping up everywhere. They turned Jakob into Waldo or that money you could have saved from Geico.

"Who's that?"
"That's the karma you could have saved with Jakob."
I always feel like, somebody's watching me........
