*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Every time I am to write a review about an episode of Lost,I try to be all critic-y and serious.It finally dawned on me that I can't do it. I am a proud lost fan and I can be neither objective nor serious.
That's why I find it so hard to write a review about this episode.About every amazing Lost episode, for that matter.Because Happily Ever After was indeed amazing.Maybe beyond amazing.Maybe Ab Aeterno amazing.
There was absolutely nothing wrong about this episode.Everything falls right into place.What's not to love about it? Charlie's appearance and the magnificent bar scene he had with Desmond? Faraday's appearance and again, his scene with Desmond? Penny's appearance and,surprise surprise,her scene with Desmond?There is no coincidence whatsoever that every Desmond centered episode is brilliant.He is this series constant,for sure.And here he is again, after a long absence, in an episode packed with emotion and sentiment and at the same time an episode that pushes the plot forward, explaining in a few words wonderfully spoken by Faraday, the meaning of last year's finale:the bomb explosion, and what was its impact to the universe, to time and space as we know it,to everyone's lives.In the end, everything comes together in a realization that this is not the life that any of them is supposed to live and that everyone must be aware and do something about it.
Every episode of Lost should and could be like Happily Ever After.Exemplary in every aspect.
