This episode is five minutes of story wrapped in twenty-five minutes of filler.

I put my finger on it. This looks like a really high-quality fan fic production.

How the story evolved from this is any man's guess. It seems like they were writing backwards for this one rather than knowing in advance. Much more questions than answers after this one.

I wouldnt even say its high quality, as someone said it reminds them of

" special effects and the wardrobe of the old Hercules show on UPN."

For a show with only a few episodes left and alot to explain this episode has been terrible. Probably the series worst.

All these seasons for this bullshit? How in the hell is there going to be any replay value to the earlier seasons after this excrement? Good riddance.

So, the backstory to Jacob and MiB is that they never got any straight answers about anything either.

Yeah, honestly, I'm starting to feel like I've wasted 6 years of my life on this show...

That seems to be the biggest mystery to this fucking island. Why can't anybody ever give a straight answer on this rock?

You can tell it's a shitty episode because the music is working so hard to try to make the episode exciting.

Seems like this one's given us plenty of answers.

Stupid, nonsensical answers that show the writers have read the Dark Tower and Riverworld too many times.

But answers.

This could've been done in 6 minutes. Not an hour.

Yes, and Lost could have been done in three seasons, not six.
