Well first of all these two episodes had me on the edge of my seat the entire two hours which is why I'll give it a high score. But what ticks me off is that they should have wrapped up at least one storyline. Either they break out and not rescue L.J. or they didn't break out but get L.J. back. It doesn't make sense that they killed Sarah so fast and not L.J. Another thing that made me frown on this show was when Lechero said he wanted to break out with Michael. Just before he said it, I kept telling myself "Don't say it" but he did which made me lose faith a little on this show. It's the same idea as the first season but come on, Michael is smart but not that smart. How many ideas can a guy come up with a plan to break out with less time and more pressure plus more people? And I am so tired of Mahone's character that I am waiting for the day when he gets killed of the show or leaves it another way. I always thought he was annoying since he came on last season. One last thing; I am so glad that Michael didn't give up on L.J. I would have been so mad if he gave up the plan because he found out that Sarah's dead. So I will continue to watch this because it looks like the show will still be exciting, but just hurry up and finish a storyline soon so it won't drag on.

I knew that my cable didn't go out in that last scene, but I was waiting for something else to happen. A sound, a flash, anything! Then the credits rolled. Not even music was playing during the credits. No way, how could you end the greatest TV show ever like that. I would have still been happy if they end it just all of the family eating there together. But building the suspense like that then ending it is like a projection going out while watching a movie. Although, I'll go with everyone else saying that Tony died. There are so many things being pointed out that can lead to Tony dying. Anyway, most of this episode was about wrapping up the show. Phil gets killed in what I thought was one of the most grotesque scene of the show (Who would want a job trying to figure out what does a skull sound like when it gets crushed by a huge SUV). Meadow picks a career and maybe a new husband, AJ gets back on his feet, and Uncle Jr won't cause anyone more trouble. Who knows if it's going to stay that way if Tony did get killed. Too bad Dr. Melfi wasn't in this episode but I'm glad Paulie survives. But now he has to live with that cat. So, might as well say that this was the greatest cliffhanger in TV history.

Wow! Bloody episode. Now that's what you call an episode leading up to a finale. I can't believe Bobby got killed in a train store. But I thought it was fitting after seeing him wear an engineer's hat while playing with his trains back in the first episode of season six. Poor Sil, he's practically dead, too. I wished he would have been one that makes it. And Dr. Melfi quits on Tony, that was a surprise for me. Then the family goes into hiding, kind of made me think that they might end up going to the witness protection. And the last scene with Tony alone holding what looked like an anti-aircraft gun just builds up the suspense for the last episode. Damn! What else is there to say than it was one of the best of the series.

Charlie! Why did it have to be him? He had so much to live for. His death scene was the best, and heart-breaking of the series. And to comment on why he didn’t just go outside to close the door, it was because it could only be locked from the inside. So when Desmond saw Penny in there, Charlie knew that Desmond would stop at nothing just to have a chance to talk to Penny and would have killed himself trying. Therefore, Charlie actually saved Desmond from killing himself. Now the flashbacks -or forwards, really - were a nice twist, but did it have to focus on Jack the whole two hours? It would have been better if they showed at least someone else for the next hour, then meet at the end. So it would seem that Jack and Kate get off the island sometime, but who else and how long? Now seeing Jack and how f* up he is in the future, makes me believe that Jack may end up dying on the island, because I don’t believe those flash-forwards can come true. Maybe Desmond will do something about it.

Anyway, I wasn’t really bothered by it, too much since the island scenes were awesome. Jack and Juliet finally kiss, but he still in love with Kate. Hurley finally does something heroic, and Alex and Rousseau finally meet (but I’m still hoping for her flashback episode). Although I thought that the Locke and Jack showdown would be bigger. The episode was more of a Jack and Ben showdown. Locke just showed up the last ten minutes of the show, and I was surprised that Locke let Jack use the phone after trying so hard to keep everyone on the island. Would it have something to do with what Walt said? Also, on the beach scenes, Sayid just continues to show why he’s my favorite character. Breaking that guy’s neck with his legs was a cool scene. And I can’t believe Bernard told the Others everything. Oh well, he’s just a dentist after all. It was funny, though, that the Others didn’t even know his name, they just referred to him as “the dentist.” I was also shock that Sawyer killed Tom in such cold blood. I wonder if he is still upset about meeting the real Sawyer after all these years.

Lastly, about the flash-forwards, would you accept “Golden Passes” from the same airline that crashed on a creepy island and survived for more than 3 months? I would spit at them!

This has to be my favorite episode of the series! Well, right next to the Pilot. My goodness, the final moments had my heart racing. It just scared the pants off of me. It’s the scenes with Jacob’s meeting and the mass grave that makes this show truly great. What surprised me the most was that Ben may indeed be mad. Usually showing a character’s flashback makes the viewers feel more sympathy towards that character, but this episode’s flashback was the complete opposite. During the beginning of the flashbacks, we were feeling sorry for Ben. His father hated him, never remembering his birthday. The way he hated being on the island and the girl who befriended him. All that changed when he help the hostiles destroy the DHARMA initiative. If you hate a place, you don’t kill everyone who lives there, but that is what Ben did. Which reminds me, what happened to that girl Ben liked. Did she die too? Then when Ben shoots Locke just because he thinks he is smarter than Locke makes me feel that Ben is not going to survive next season. Also when Locke is beating up Mikhail and Ben is yelling for someone to stop him, yet no one helps him, just tells you that none of the Others won’t care if Ben dies. Although I wonder how Locke is going to survive a bullet to the gut. The beach scenes were good too. Sayid questioning Jack’s trust was awesome. Yet Jack is still defending Juliet and thinking of a way to fight against the Others. I believe that whatever plan Jack thinks of, will go wrong or someone might die cause of it. Overall, a classic episode. My only complaint though, is that another character has daddy issues.
