Trivia:

As Jack is driving to the funeral, listening to "Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana on his stereo, he is reading the obituary of the person who's funeral he is driving to. The date of death listed on the obit is April 5th, the same date that Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. It is possibly the first use of a Nirvana song on television since Courtney Love sold 25% of the rights to the Nirvana catalog.

An Amazing Episode that proves Lost is in the right direction

Although i've heard a lot about how the third season is no good, or doesn't live up to what lost used to be (i disagree i think its been great with probably only one or two weak episodes) This episode will change any naysayers mind.

The writing was top notch. With jaw-dropping twists, action, and emotion, the writers know exactly where they are heading with the show (thanks in part to the recently set end-date. I actually prefer this finale to the second season one and i cannot believe i have to wait until February because this episode leaves you wanting more.

Lost is developing quite a reputation for its finales now and this one will blow you away. The entire cast acted wonderfully with an amazing performance from Matthew Fox as Jack.

10/10 The best couple hours of television i've seen all year.
