Well, that's fair. I suppose I don't in general think much of stories that are essentially philosophical inquiries, with a little bit of "plot" added on. I'm just not emotionally affected by the "Wow" at the end, like I was in Nightfall, or how I was affected by the dead child aspect of "The Dead Past." Also, I think that "The Dead Past" really demonstrates the apex of Asimov's technical writing ability in a way that the format of "The Last Question" doesn't really allow.
