I disagree. This episode, although it contained an original premise and some very catchy comedic moments, failed to leave an appropriate emotional impression upon the viewer. If you want an audience to feel sad for a character, or tearful, even, you construct the scene so that it means something, so that there is an underlying message or some interpretation to be had in the events. You want to feel sad and emphasise entirely with the person... Not depressed and heartbroken because the writers you had previously thought were clever, witty geniuses have run out of ending ideas and so instead decided to reveal their true colours as blandly appeasing sadistic bastards.
Cloverfield could pull off ending on a cliffhanger and answering nothing, and in a way, that was its basic strength. Then again, it had spent over an hour stipulating the fact that no questions would be answered, and that the situation was inherently hopeless. Even there, though, the fate of the characters remains uncertain. TKOS simply spent its half hour building up an admittedly admirable plot in the usual respectable detail we've come to expect, only to toss in a blank emotional slate with absolutely no purpose at the last minute.
