That scene with Juliet screaming and falling down the hole--UGH. Always makes me cry. Just so powerful. I like that you can appreciate what's going on, even if you're not feeling it. It's just a different experience watching it all at once, I think. Plus, you never loved Juliet, so she just wasn't your favorite.
I loved the 'don't kill Ben as a kid' storyline because it was about Sawyer and Kate and Juliet's redemption--for them the driving force was not who Ben would be, but who Ben WAS, and I couldn't help but think that was a very internalized way of thinking. Which was just cool to me. And also, they couldn't kill Ben, because it ALREADY HAPPENED. I mean, it didn't matter what they did, he wasn't going to die, because time is an eternal round, and it had already happened.
By the same token, though, Jack was willing to wipe it all away, which to me was the biggest insult to Kate ever and made my hate for him grow ever greater.
And word to the wise: THEY AREN'T ALL DEAD. THAT'S NOT HOW IT ENDS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW PEOPLE THINK THAT'S WHAT THE ENDING MEANS. We'll get to that, eventually. :D
