Warning: Spoilers
This episode goes down as one of my least favorites so far. I know......are you kidding me? But all I can do is explain why and remind you, you don't have to agree with me.....what I didn't like about this episode is that this one went for the jugular to try to rip our hearts out with undying emotion which was a bigtime overkill from my perspective. I know, Jack dying is going to be emotional, but to see the three kids still responding the way they do is just too much for my common sense. I mean, seriously, twenty years, and still acting like it happened yesterday. And then bringing Deja back on this episode was even more over the top. I mean why did they pull her back in on this episode? And why make us believe that cute young boy was going to be the one? I just thought there was too much manipulation and I for one Just didn't feel like playing along.

Now I will also add, this has been my biggest gripe about the show from day two....the manipulation they provide to try to rip our hearts out and go for the big wow moment has always been a sore subject with me. Even my wife is now coming over to this way of thinking, so I don't think it's just a guy thing. Anyhow, I think I've said all that was needed for me to justify my 5 star rating. No offense intended to the huge fans of the show and especially this episode.
