I hadn't watched the last episode until tonight. I heard from my Sisters family about how much like Lost it was, but to me this episode provided a ton of answers. It asks some more questions, but it makes everything a bit clearer. THere's clearly something in the code that allows people to recollect things when certain criteria is met. First season it seemed to be the "Violent Delights have Violent Ends" phrase. But that wasn't the case for Ghost Nation. So there's definitely something else.

Meh.

This continues to be a show with an amazing premise, but mediocre writing.

Was a weaker episode than #8. Seems like there is a lot left to do for the season finale. There is still a gap of roughly 7 days between where the main story is with MIB/Dolores/etc and where Bernard woke up on the beach and Delos figures out he's a host. That's a lot of ground to catch up in 1 episode.

I don't think they'll cover it all. THis episode was clearly about setting up the finale. It did a handful of things well, though it didn't really move the plot forward, just set the cogs in motion to shoot the plot forward for the finale. There's probably a dozen things that will happen in the last episode. And that will determine the fate of this episode.

Well seems like they just glossed over it. Only a couple of things really happened in that time frame. I think we saw a glimpse of where the series finale is heading with that post credits scene.
 
That was a really good finale. The show still continues to frustrate me, but I am optimistic that expanding the geographic scope of the show will help it from being too cute. This is show is at its best when it’s chewing through plot (see Episode 8 and the Finale).

I think the struggle of any show is the balance needed to flesh out characters and move the plot. They want you to care about people if they die or if they survive. Otherwise you're just cannon fodder.
