10 out of 10 hands down. This season, while decent, has not had many stellar episodes where we are treated to a very fast-paced plot with elements of love, betrayal, and crime all in one. In fact, the last time I felt so utterly satisfied by an episode of Lost must have been back in the first season!
The past few episodes prior to this one have not been that exciting IMHO but here we finally find out Sawyer is not the only ex-con on the island--Nikki & Paolo whom were thrust onto the show kinda suspiciously have conned a guy out of $8 mil in precious jewels in their Pre-Lost Life.
Watching the quest for wealth which has no value on a deserted island drive a rift between them is pure schadenfreude. The end result is equally pleasing.
The ending was a VERY good cliffhanger-surpassing even my usual expectations of a Lost cliffhanger, which are generally above average anyhow since the writers are pure geniuses.
Watching Sawyer and Hurley shovel sand over Nikki and Paolo's graves just as Nikki begins to open her eyes made me spill my coffee all over my new slacks.
I should sue the writers-these were really nice pants. But I wouldn't want them to be distracted from writing such superb plots. I'll sacrifice all the pants I need to.
