Lost was one of my favorite TV shows ever, until the disappointing last 5 minutes. So I had high expectations for this short. I wanted to see the island again and how life had changed there with Hurley in charge. Would he build new bunkers? Would Kate drop by to visit on vacation? Would we learn more about the strange Matrix-like environment in the series ending? This short didn't meet any of those those expectations and didn't spend much time with Hurley, so I feel the title was misleading. The scene with Michael Emerson and the Dharma workers was enjoyable, and played with the appropriate amount of humor. There were a few nuggets of information in here to answer some of the nagging technical questions left open in the series (Where's Walt? Who sends the food?).
If they had cut from Jack lying in the jungle to this segment as the ending to the series, it might have made leaving so many significant questions unanswered a little more palatable. However, after watching this it felt as if I'd just been handed a few scraps of old fish biscuit from the bottom of a polar bear cage.
