Good point. I never really meant the show has lost it's way emotionally, but it's the time now to get back to it, because it's been rarer than in the earlier seasons, for quite some time now
I know what you mean. Hell, I cried at the end of Season 1 when they launched the raft and Vincent ran out in to the water to be with Walt and Sun was watching her husband sail away.
Honestly, I think a lot of it was the music. The score just hasn't been as good in the last couple years.
I think the Oceanic Six score is as good and moving as anything else written for Lost, as was the use of score in Desmond's phone scene with Penny. But that was still all the way back in season 4. Seasons 5 and 6 so far haven't had much new in the awesome emotional score sense.
Maybe Michael Giachinno is too busy winning Oscars with Pixar or something.
