I have to admit, there was such rampant stupidity in that episode I was wondering if the creative forces behind Grey's Anatomy were working overtime. And not even in the "physics don't work like that" way but the "inexplicably inconsistent characterization from what we saw 30 minutes ago" way or the "no, seriously, none of you thought of that?" way.
Sadly, Lost is a show that works best when it's audacious both in questions and answers, not coy ("Oooh, what's in the crate? Make sure nobody refers to what it really is until the dramatic reveal"). But the idea that despite traveling back in time the Losties only manage to create the circumstances under which they were trapped? Done to death. Terminally uninteresting. Worse than a nuclear device that tumbles down a million-mile deep shaft without a hiccup and is still somehow primed to detonate when a kitten leans on it.
I was holding out for another game-changer, or at least an interesting reveal, a hook to keep interest up 'til next year. I don't know about you all, but I don't think I can sit through another episode of that, much less a season.
Edit: Does this mean the last season of Lost is going to be the last season of Buffy with the First Evil? If so, oh, God, count me so out. Bad enough the Lockebox reveal conjured memories of the BSG finalé (___ has been dead all this time) and the bomb the first season cliffhanger of Sledge Hammer!
