This season, the show has me like "Im not sure I still like...whoa, I love it!", like every episode. Its a weird one. I think its brilliant. Im not too sure it can be one of those shows you watch over and over again though. I have to go back and watch Season 1 again but Im not sure I'd watch 2, 3 again.
I found 3 not as good as 1...maybe better than 2 though. It was such a departure. But the acting, casting, set design, visual effects are all tremendous. The ideas are interesting. They didnt seem to build as much of a mystery box in season 3. I do like that they dont seem obsessed with tricking fans...they write their show and they have their mysteries or revelations and they make sense, whereas a show like Lost just created swerves for the purpose of tricking viewers.
Im really intrigued for Season 4 based on the post credit seasons of the season 3 finale. If Bernard was sitting there for 1000 years, it implies something really bad happened really quickly cause how could he have gone undisturbed? Was that an abandoned hotel? The manager never checked on him? lol And what of Stubbs??
I also like, amidst the shiny advanced SFX, they make time for emotional scenes. Bernard visiting Arnold's wife, for example. Delores' reveal of her real motives concerning humanity. Charlotte's reaction to her family etc. Great stuff.
One thing I had forgotten that i saw pointed out on youtube was the man in black host may have been seen before. i guess it was Season 2 where we saw him back at the park being kept by his daughter and trying to decide if he was real or not. It appeared to be a flash to the future so that could be the host. Which leads to questions of, if you share all the memories and experiences but are in a manufactured body, are you real or not?
Well since its over now, not a spoiler right? If you read the article they actually say they hope Wood isn't gone. Remember, there are still two Delores pearls (two right?). Lawrence and Charlotte. Oh and the Yakuza dude...the hooker took his head.
