Ok so I finally caught up with this after my vacation and holy shit were they able to pull everything together, or almost everything, you never know with this show. So, let's talk about some of the points you raised on these final 3 episodes:
The episode where Kevin is at the hotel must be the most fun one this show has had, everything was so ridiculous but at some point it made sense. Also the pace and dynamics were just spot on, it was fast, included lots of stuff yet it didn't feel rushed, great stuff.
As soon as I saw the scene with Evie and Meg on the bench I knew what was coming. Overall I thought this episode didn't live up to the greatness of the season as a whole, if for no other reason than the fact that I dislike Meg and have since the beginning of the show.
I am not a fan of Meg either.....she's just not a strong character and Liv Tyler is not a strong actress. Meg may be interesting had someone else played her....but Liv Tyler is brutal.....
Don't now what you're talking about, I thought Liv Tyler did a great job here and had some really cool moments.
Agreed, I'm not a fan of her but I think she brings a lot to Meg's character and is a big reason why she is so detestable at times. After the first season I wouldn't have thought she'd be the one to take the guilty remnant to the radical side they've become and after that 9th episode I'm very curious as to what the Psychic said to her that broke her so much.
Regarding the last episode I just loved it all the way. I remember thinking Kevin is the unluckiest guy in the world, he comes back from the dead and less than 24 hours later he gets shot and killed?! Poor guy. I wasn't a fan of that character during the first season because he was such an asshole but I like how he seems to be taking in some of Nora´s traits slowly and becoming better and more likable.
I also loved the scene where John finds him in the ER and goes: "I killed you" and Kevin just says "Nope". I laughed at that.
Overall I think I enjoyed this season a lot more than the first and I'm super excited about the third one even though it will be the last. I hope Perrotta and Lindelof are able to close this one in a good way even though they might have to speed things up
