Spot on. It is as if the words sprung forth from my own noodle. I have to admit that I have had a creeping feeling at times that I'm watching an echo of season four - not all the time, but at times. The barrage of concept episodes, without "regular" Community episodes to anchor it, to set it up, to ground it, makes…

I care, Mr Matar. I care.

Hey…I'm getting the impression that you're mocking me, sir.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the quality of their friendship. I think it was a pretty dark topic that was treated largely as window dressing to justify the concept. They have been doing that a lot this season. I have found it much funnier than last season, though.

Oh, and not to be that person who gleefully replies to his own post, but I also think Jeff being 40 - or 35 in season one - makes his relationship with Annie very off putting.

This strayed a bit too far into "The Simpsons does Hamlet" territory, as in a series of deprecating jokes about the source material. I also felt the emotional resolution was ludicrous and shoe horned in. This season has been so full of concept episodes but they have lacked narrative justification. Or so I think. I'm…

Fair point. But Sayid shoots a little kid, though, and also commits murder in purgatory, which seems a little…iffy, ethically. One thing that annoys me about the flash sideways is that even its own events are irrelevant by the church scene. Sayid killing all of those people is supposed to parallel his descent on the…

You make a fantastic point. If she isn't blown away by The Constant, I should probably toss her.

And Kate has a lot of answering to do, since she is the only Oceanic Six person alive and yet here are Claire and Sawyer, who she said were dead, and plus she's never supposed to have left the state so I guess she's going to prison for a very long time.

The answer I despised was the whispers. How is it that Michael's spirit is trapped on the island for killing two people and then coming back and helping everybody, sacrificing himself in the process, but Ben, who committed a genocide before the show even started, is free to roam in purgatory? Plus the way they…

That's probably true, but I think it invalidated the events on the island. "Oh, [character x] died? Ah well. They all met up in a magical purgatory of their own making[?]. I guess it doesn't matter." Religion is shoved down my throat all the time; I don't need it from TV shows as well. But that's just me.

Great list. I would consider swapping There's No Place Like Home with Greatest Hits, but I also think that Greatest Hits is one of the best uses of flashback and it actually made me care about Charlie.
