Lost - Season Finale *Spoilers*

[AuroraGyps]

When Artz was going on with Hugo my wife said, "I wish they would blow that guy up..." Damned if they didn't!

Same here... "somebody PLEASE blow this guy up!". Before they found the dynamite, I remembered the thing about it being more dangerous when it was kept in hot weather. I actually looked at the cat, cause there's no else here to talk to and said, "Ya know, I think dynamite sweats nitro when it's hot... this can't turn out well." Sometime I amaze myself with the stuff I remember. Now kids, remember what we all learned from Leslie... do not gesture wildly when holding sweaty dynamite.
Also, Hurley rocks. I love when he gave Walt the "thumbs up" sign when he got onto the plane with his tongue sticking out. I don't know why, but it was cool.

revelations in the final episode:
the monster is some kind of black cloud
the Others are scruffy looking humans with a boat and gasoline and access to modern equipment, judging from the boat
the hatch is a tunnel with a ladder going down
I am.... really confused. But damn if I'm not looking forward to next season....

GREAT! I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't feel like it was dragging.

Hurley rocks as always. The comic book thing was great. The first thing I thought was, "oh yeah it's in Spanish- makes sense!

I like how they expanded on the watch and why Jin tried to kill "Mike" over it. Also nice to show how he feels he is now free.

I'm not sure why people seem to have expected a lot of answers. This is a season finale, I expected BIG cliffhangers, not answers to everything. And did they deliver on the cliffhangers!

Also, I'm glad they finally got around to Charlie finding the heroin.

And I think Jack is right, they are going to have a Locke problem.

I had Locke pegged as the evil island shamanistic type from midseason. By the series' end, he's going to be the Big Bad Evil of "Lost." So far, he's the only character who has a vested interest in remaining on the island, and that's before he started communing with its secrets (which he's still keeping ...).

Some random point commentary if you will.....

We finally got to see The Others. Nicely done. You knew someone had to have a boat. Hell, that's what they came on. Well, maybe not the same one but you get the idea.

Is Sawyer dead? Or was Blastin' Science Outsider the "Big Death?"

All the little revelations about the day before they became characters on an island.

Sayid is now officially (if he wasn't already) a Big F'n Hero. Jack may be the Leader and Locke is the Resident Mysterious Cool Dude but Sayid is the Hero. BFH.

Poor Charlie. Pulled between his love for Claire and his love for heroin. And gets mauled by rocks. I'm surprised he didn't shoot himself in the process. I still really like his character. What's the over/under on a relapse in eps for next year? I'll start the wagers at 4.

I'm glad they hung us at the ladder in the hatch. Showing what's inside would have been a letdown. Hurley's frantic stomp was a highlight of the ep as was his mad dask through the airport.

For the first time I really liked Walt as a character rather than just a plot element and Michael's son.

Jack's line in the sand with Kate was a long time coming. It will be interesting to see if she comes through. And while I'm on Jack, let's get some romantic tension back between him and Kate. He needs someone who can be a designated second in command and she would be a great candidate, love interest or not. Sayid can't do it because he'll be too busy being the BFH and like bulding a machine gun or curing cancer or something.

What the hell is Shannon going to do from now on? Being the unstable, emotional one and arm-candy for the BFH?

What becomes of Danielle? I say make her a regular. Well, at least keep bringing her back. Her scenes are mezmerizing.

Do Sun and Jin reconcile? I hope so now that Jin has made peace with his demons.

Does Walt come back as cyber-Walt?

Small dissappointment: They didn't get Kate enough to do. But the show's so huge that I don't blame them. She's had plenty of time in the sun.

Sawyer's Star Wars reference was awesome. Does he think he's Luke?

Did anyone else cringe when someone said, "This is going to be unpleasant." Then the camera panned back?

Aaron is a good name for the baby. I likes it. I wonder how they'll explain her memory loss. Did Danielle shock it out of her? Who else is working with her?

Does anyone else think that Locke is like Yoda only twisted?

And lastly: Will next season be better than this one? I vote yes, considering all the plots they have set up. We'll still only get half-answers but that's the fun of it.

Midseason? You knew he had to be the badguy from Day One. It's the crazy eyes.

Midseason? You knew he had to be the badguy from Day One. It's the crazy eyes.

Nah, I still wanted to be Locke on Day One.

Now I'm just back to wanting to be Sawyer.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Is Sawyer dead? Or was Blastin' Science Outsider the "Big Death?"

I think Chunks of Ardtz was it.

What the hell is Shannon going to do from now on? Being the unstable, emotional one and arm-candy for the BFH?

Become the crazy loose cannon in Jack's Camp once the survivors break down into Jack's Camp, Locke's Camp (betting Walt is with him, and maybe Hurley, Charlie and Claire) and the Others. She hasn't made her last attempt on Locke's life.

Does Walt come back as cyber-Walt?

I think Walt comes back with scary Stockholm Syndrome and rides the "is he on our side or theirs" line for a long time.

Aaron is a good name for the baby. I likes it. I wonder how they'll explain her memory loss. Did Danielle shock it out of her? Who else is working with her?

Given that her and Ethan working together seems odd, at best, based on what we thought we knew, I suspect that her trauma has given her whatever the technical term is for a split personality now. Sometimes she's Danielle, sometimes she's an Other.

Does anyone else think that Locke is like Yoda only twisted?

I dunno, Yoda's pretty damn twisted to start off with. And I think Locke is probably more like Col. Kurtz.

And lastly: Will next season be better than this one? I vote yes, considering all the plots they have set up. We'll still only get half-answers but that's the fun of it.

Yeah, I'm going to be waiting on pins and needles for next season.

Interesting. I wanted to be Jack at the beginning but now Sayid is the man.

This could be a whole other topic so it's best to let it go here...

I was both disappointed and satisfied with the season finale.

I don't think it'll be the big question of the summer, as the writers alluded to. This has nothing on "Who shot JR?" Everyone talked about a death, and it was yet another background character we knew for only two episodes. Various cast and writers said that questions were being answered, but in reality few if any were.

Irony in full bound, as Hugo's lucky day got him on the plane.

Mira Furlan is great, and she really needs to be added to the cast permanently.

Arzt's death was simply rediculous. It meant absolutely nothing, and furthermore killed all suspense with Jack's team, since I knew at that point no one with them would die.

It's readily obvious the people on the boat were Others, given Danielle's mutterings and the fact that they went after a child.

By far and away the best scenes in the finale were with the raft crew. I don't know why it seemed so different for them than everyone else, but I cared more about Sawyer, Michael, Jin, and Walt than any of the other characters.

I still don't get why they ever let Claire be alone now, seriously. You'd think these people would have learned or something.

Gotta sleep, have more thoughts tomorrow.
