EW Tune in Right After The Show for Special Recap! foolishness

ABC announced today that the final episode will be 2 1/2 hours long on Sunday, May 23. If you want to, you can watch 5 1/2 hours of “Lost” that night; there’ll be a 2-hour retrospective/clip show before the final episode runs.
If this show has 13 million viewers, then I’ll bet 10.5 million of them are furious. Jin and Sun just got reunited last episode, and now they’re killed off?
Quite an episode. One way to tie up loose ends is to kill all the main characters, I suppose.
When Sawyer and gang were about to take the submarine by force, I kept wondering why he didn’t turn to unLocke and say “Why do we have to do it this way? Turn into the Smoke Monster and take ’em out yourself!”
EW has a brief recap with some words from Cuse and Lindelof about this episode and its startling finale.
