I loved it. With Abrams having to connect every single thing in this series with the original trilogy, it was so nice to not have someone connected. It also didn't hurt that the scene itself was really emotional and well-done...especially with Ren making Rey say the words.

And, of course, JJ had to ruin it and retcon it and it made the Rey/Ren exchange make no sense as a result. But, as we've established, JJ Abrams is an awful director.

I also loved Snoke getting axed...as an obvious Palpatine ripoff, I felt his death was them again breaking off from the spectre of the original trilogy and letting Ren do the heavy lifting...and, of course, Abrams undoes this as well with a lazy rehash of Palps and Ren being tossed into the lackey role again. Good times, JJ. God, you suck.
