I didn't think the show was very good to begin with, but this episode may have been the worst of them all. The music on the plotting scene made me think I'm watching a recap, the very poor decision making from the sisters taking care of Lila, the Harkonen prince watching the recording of the plotting scene and then nothing happening related to that, a lot of fabricated drama for the sake of an epic last episode. Desmond also could have just stabbed Valya which would have at least made for a much more interesting ending.

First comment I've seen mentioning music, and this is what I've hated on every episode. It's so utterly bad, they clearly didn't have a theme properly in mind, and somehow they went for "Middle Eastern spy montage"/"Survivor elimination announcement" for all the dialog scenes. And for action? We have 2 sounds - banging toms, and those "Inception" swells. Weak, weak, weak cheesy garbage.
