I absolutely loved the final sequence:

Here’s an excerpt from an interesting review of “Sundown” by LA Times‘ Todd VanDerWerff:

Sometimes you watch “Lost” and think about the philosophical conundrums it presents or the way the characters interact. Sometimes you watch it and come away impressed by the show’s rock-solid direction or great acting. But sometimes, oh, sometimes, you watch the show and end up feeling that there’s just nothing else like it on TV, nothing quite so, well … awesome. When “Lost” is on, there’s nothing quite like it for bringing big, epic moments, and there’s never really been anything like it in the history of the medium. It’s a big, bold show when it wants to be, and when it pays off a whole bunch of setup with a big, action payoff, it usually delivers.

A good case in point is “Sundown,” which starts out as sort of a philosophical treatise on whether man is inherently good or evil and then becomes one of the most ridiculously fun-to-watch action sequences the show has ever turned out. For its final 10 minutes or so, “Lost” unveils the television equivalent of an Indiana Jones movie or the battle at Helm’s Deep in the “Lord of the Rings” series. [...] Those final moments — of Sayid emerging from the Temple’s inner sanctum to see the havoc that he had helped wreak, “Catch a Falling Star” strumming away on the soundtrack — were both downright eerie and somehow poignant.
