The writers and producers have clearly decided to bet it all on the finale. Hence, any real momentum built over the last couple of episodes dissipated in this episode like the air going out of a balloon. The penultimate episode was very anticlimactic.
This episode was tediously told via flashbacks. It produced no real excitement, tension, nor surprises. It was storytelling via box ticking. It was predictable and boring! Clearly, the goal was to set the all-is-lost narrative so that the finale will be chockablock with surprises and twisty-turns. And, maybe it will be. Unfortunately, we had to endure the reality of this episode to get to that possibility.
I am surprised that no one yet has thrown 'Ari Spyros' (Stephen Kunken) out the sealed-glass window!
