At the begining durring the car chase when the reporter heard it was a Camero, did I hear her whisper “Oh no”?

I believe that was Jack. Hurley has had that car for a while (it was in the Tricia Tanaka is Dead episode) and it’s a rare car, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable for Jack to know it and put two and two together.

It amazes me how angry and frustrated people seem to get when Lost continues to be what it has always been: a serial with a logically bizarre but dramatically effective narrative, revealed in little bits and pieces over the course of a long period of time, punctuated by well-written dialogue and performed as an absolute acting clinic by some of the performers (man oh man, Naveen Andrews is a great actor). I like this sort of show. I like the very slow reveal, the very gradual escalation of tension and uncertainty, the periodic but not episodic payoffs, the weird digressions of plot, and the solid (Fox, Lilly, Garcia, de Ravin) to expert-level (Emerson, Andrews, O’Quinn, Kim & Kim) acting.
I can absolutely understand not enjoying that kind of show, but it’s not like the show is billed as anything other than what it is. The willingness of people to keep wasting time watching something that they fundamentally don’t like is terribly strange to me.

It’s marketed as a mystery. I love the fact that it has great back stories, character development, and is well scripted/acted, but my investment in that mythology is based on the puzzle solving/mystery hook. I understand why they some times have to take a surreptitious route in order to introduce new facts/plot development, and can forgive the occasional slow episode because of that. But it’s terrible story telling to build the momentum to fever pitch and then, after 8 months, do absolutely nothing to resolve that tension. Give me something, anything, to think about. Hell, I would even take more build up or a false release.
I keep watching because when they have their act together they put out some of the more compelling fiction around and they’ve promised that the series will end with a final, explosive episode. The logical part of me knows that since I’ve pretty much exclaimed, “Holy Shit” after every season finale, they’ll come through in the end. But everytime they over hype an episode like this, and get my hopes up for nothing, I become more cynical that they will actually tie up all the loose ends they’ve dangled before us.
