I was on board for a lot. I'll admit to getting choked up at some.

Minus points for the 6 seasons of sloppy writing that forced them to do the 2hr pre-show to get everyone back on track. But they win a few of those points back for it being a fairly decent recap and a decent save.

Minus a few more points for the ending. Slapping a "coexist" bumper sticker on a big shiny crucifix does not nondenominational make. Bleh. I'd have been fine with the religiosity if they hadn't leaned do heavily on such purely Christian elements.

But all that said, I'm not disappointed with the whole package. They did a good job of reminding me why I gave a crap about the relationships, and making me give a crap about them again. Again, I would have been happier had they not made me forget in the first place, and I didn't love everything about how they wrapped them up, but it was enough for me to give them credit for creating some good story arcs.

And I'll cede CP's point about the crappy origins episode. Jack is the protector because Jacob said he is. Jacob was the protector because Jacob's mom was the protector. Jacob's mom was the protector because she was told so by the previous protector, and that previous protector told by the previous...

Didn't blow my mind, but didn't leave me angry. Plus, I can't wait for the "Hurley and Ben" animated series.
