I wondered aloud if Eric had been a team player and supported Miles' Lame Couch Facing the Oblivion of Freedom, but still quietly seething, would he have been sent home? Yes, because Miles' art ALWAYS "works" for the judges.

Whoever they get will have to top this season's judges' willful disregard of the inherent lack of talent in their contestant pool. Week after week, I'd expect them to rip Lee for his "singing," but they were just seeing dollar signs. Bland sells! Seriously, the logical acrobatics they had to do to argue THIS is the "best season of Idol" was painful to watch. Moreso than the actual performances.

I came for the Sue but stayed for the Crazy Guidance Counselor Germaphobe. Sadly, this episode had little of either.

If Cheney were on fire, would you REALLY pee on him to put him out?

Lindsey Lohan . . . because she doesn't mix with water.

Ignoring the Kumbaya moment at the non-denominational L.A. church, and going back to the Island for a moment, not-quite-where we left off . . . with Ben and Hurley. First off, after ALL we've seen for six years, we're left with this "Top Gun" moment? ("You can be my wing man any time!" "No, dude, you can be MINE!") And second, I had the DISTINCT feeling that five minutes into the future, Ben would push Hurley off a cliff or into a gorge or hit him with a large rock so HE could be the leader (again). Because how many times did Ben seemingly flip-flop allegiances in the course of the last two episodes? I know, I know . . . Ben was reformed, right? So, he's going to play second fiddle to Hurley?

I don't care if the entire production staff was higher than the tippy-top of the SURPRISE Season 6 lighthouse, just totally MAKING SHIT UP on the fly as a DARE to see if they could magically tie it all together at the end. Working from that set of drug-fueled parameters, couldn't they--presumably some of the best T.V. writers the Networks have to offier--have come up with something better than this? I don't HATE it, but I'm not going to buy the DVDs for later viewing because it'll just frustrate me.

Somewhere in Oahu, there's a cocktail napkin with "white light" and "see you on the other side" written on it. See? TOTALLY prepared.

It's okay. When Jack was a bad father, he was only a MAKE-BELIEVE bad father.

I've heard the "trust the writers/producers" arguments for the past couple years, and I'm not buying any of them. You get the feeling, as I've read here and elsewhere, that the "writers" were flying by the seats of their pants . . . no plan, no scheme. The fact that they've let slip Ben was supposed to be a three-episode character gives you some insight into just how LITTLE planning there was or has been. Every season, they've tweaked what the Island is by adding mysteries and characters and amped-up drama. And I feel like the last 10 minutes of the entire run is . . . kind-of a cop-out. I didn't need all of my questions answered. I just wanted an ending that honored the HUGENESS of all that the Island represented (or was hinted to represent). But, no. We get, "Yes, the Island stuff was real. Now, HUG ONE ANOTHER AND WALK INTO THE LIGHT."

I don't know if anyone has discussed this (yes, I've been reading) but, over the past couple seasons, has anyone noticed how EASY it is to travel between the Island's landmarks/hotspots/deathtraps? Like, those first couple seasons, they had to hike across the Island and camp out overnight just to get from the beach to . . . just about anywhere. And, now, it's, "We're going to the Black Rock for more dynamite," and--no matter WHERE that conversation occurs--it's a 10-minute walk.
