shipperxStill digesting. (Yes, still. It's going to take me a while). But did like this review
Especially this part:
There's no getting around it. We are having a mighty tough time writing this review. Like the episode itself, our reactions to it are somewhat hard to quantify. Don't get us wrong; that was a very enjoyable night of television, no doubt about it. We wanted big blubbery scenes and we got them in spades. No complaints on the Kleenex front.
What absolutely floored us, however, were the last 15 minutes, which left us sitting in our chairs for at least an hour after the show ended staring off into the distance and occasionally uttering a surprised "Oh," or "Well...that happened." Despite whatever misgivings we may have about it, that we had that kind of reaction means the ending was an entirely appropriate one for this show. Because when it was at its best, Lost could provoke the most delicious "WTF?!" reactions like nobody else could. OF COURSE Lost would end in a manner that dropped our jaws.

And now the TWOP recaplet is up and it seems to be garnering an A- in the grading by viewers.
Excerpt:
In short: Wow. @$#(. Hummina. And mostly: glurglesplortz.
I'm not going to fake it. I have no idea how to do this as either a recaplet or an immediate review. I've been ruminating on this show since Wednesday, September 22, 2004. Now I've got to cough up something to tide you over until the recap is done, and yet, I'm out of wine, so this is what I like to think of as a blurt.
This was fan service, but I mean that in the highest sense, rather than in its lowest and common sense. One thing I've always wanted, and one thing I've understood about other fans, is that we came for the mystery, but we stayed for the characters. "The End" was perfectly, wonderfully, unapologetically sentimental...
