Wow.
Welp. Another "10." Sorry, folks. I can only bend with the breeze here. What a phenomenal episode. And one I think may be the first truly polarizing chapter of this second season. I get the feeling - even though Season 2 has been way less divisive than Season 1 - that this episode, "International Assassin," may be too much for some. Because this showed us a very specific, detailed version of an afterlife. Or a limbo. Not unlike some of the ideas toyed with during the final season of Lost. And, well, we know how many fans felt about the way that show ended.
So this was Lindelof basically revisiting that concept. And there was no way this could be written off as a psychotic break. There's no real debate to be had here. Kevin went through this journey, through this celestial hotel setting, and it brought him back to life. And sent him crawling up out of his own grave at the end. A shallow dirt patch that Michael had buried him in. Meaning, Michael didn't really have a plan, right? He just came back and cleaned up his grandfather's mess. Virgil, however, did have a plan. Yes, he really killed himself, but it was so he could enter the hotel with Kevin and act as a guide. That is, until he drank the water and then became a permanent bird-killing fixture there (was that a box bird?).
