Just for all you in a subjunctive mood:
The sentence feels too reduced, as though it needs 'and' included.
Do you think needs should be subjunctive and why?
Again, the Subjunctive!

I don't this sentence calls for the subjunctive. The condition (i.e., needing "and" seems true (at least to the speaker).The sentence feels too reduced, as though it needs 'and' included.
If you said, "The sentence felt too reduced, as though it were missing an "and," then the subjunctive would be in order.
Most present-tense sentences with as if or as though take the indicative, since the condition described appears to be true.
In the past tense, the subjunctive will often be used when the condition described is probably not true. (He looked as if he were about to die.) He wasn't, but he looked that way.
