Why would there be differences between the novel and the show? They're written by the same people.

Rats, didn't see any end of the episode crash, that would have been groovy too. :/
The things I found most interesting in this episode were that they finally gave an exact date (September in 04) which blows a lot of theories out of the water. They also suggested that the island is still somehow connected to the rest of the world. Which blows some OTHER theories out of the water. I have to admit being a little bummed that the button actually was for something, I was really hoping it was just some big psychological mind job. I did like that whole field full of reports from the Pearl hatch just laying in a pile. The Dharma Initiative doesn't look too eco-friendly do they?
I think it is safe to say the DI is still got things running on the island. Why would there be food drops otherwise. What just happened when the Swan hatch pulsed could change all that. They may just want to ditch the whole place now.
And I've gone from just passively disliking Michael to actively hating him. That's the way to rais a son? Show him that it is ok to kill your friends and the people that help you in order to accomplish your goal, what ever it is? He's really shown himself to be a pretty dispicabale character.
I agree with some of the sentiment of some of the others who have posted on here, it's going to be a long wait for Season Three.

I just re-watched my DVR of the finale, and mine did not have a plane crash at the end. As the credits rolled at the bottom of the screen, there was a promo for "The One", an "Idol" style show from ABC, then the local news promo which lasted until after the credits ended.
Is it possible that the plane crash scene was one of those "extended" scenes over which local affiliates sometimes broadcast local content? You know, sometimes a local commercial will end, and you will see the very end of something else before they return to a show. Am I making any sense here?

The description given above sounds exactly like the crash of the tail section to me, so until I see proof otherwise, I think it was just a snippet of that scene caught by some of the network affiliates.
I know I sure as heck didn't see it and there aren't any pictures of it over on Lost-Media's extensive phot galleries that I could find. And surely if it were real, SOMEONE would have posted it over there by now...

Frankly I'm stunned that so few people caught it...but then I'dve missed it if I hadn't been lazy in changing the channel. I saw it mentioned only once over on tv.com, and no one commented on it after. Once the post-episode hullaballo calms down, sites like Lost Media should probably have a screencap of it. Lostmedia currently only has 500 photos that only go as far as Eko running to the beach to get Charlie.

Better. Not stupendous, but better. No question, my favorite part of the episode was seeing the giant 4-toed statue. Way, way cool.
It was also nice that we got some confirmations - that indeed there was a major electromagnetic source that was somehow important; and that the Others do have some pretty good infrastructure on their side of the island (that was a nice looking dock structure they had there). Interesting to see that the Pearl station was indeed the psychological experiment (the pneumatic tube to nowhere!).
I don't believe that anyone died over at the Swan - I think the piece of hatch landing near the beach was thrown/pushed by the magnet when the failsafe was activated. And there was no big kaboom. As well, I am definitely curious as to what the "incident" was.
The stupidity of the Lostaways still bothers me, though. Not finding Desmond's sailboat (even though it was less than an hour away - I don't buy any "hiding it" explanation, as the Lostaways have clearly found small hidden things all over the place. Whatever). And, like I said way back in Season 1: for all the Lostaways know, there could be a resort over on the other side of the island...

I didn't see it either during or at the end of the episode (my station went straight to the news), but I actually did see this scene shown in some Lost previews during the plast week (on the Canadian network). It did indeed look like a space shuttle. Weird.DonTadow said:

When the four were captured by the others, they were a few shots of a girl with black curly hair. Is that Rousseau's daughter? I bet she helps them escape the Other's compound next season.
Libby was driven crazy by that Widmore guy, who probably went on the rampage after finding out that Penelope met with Desmond. He is also behind Desmond landing on the island, and using the Others to trick him into staying in the hatch for three years.

The rocky terrain where Desmond killed Kelvin looked new to me, and it has to be less than an hour away from the hatch, not the shore where the plane crashed. It could be on the Other's side of the island. That still is not an excuse as to why they didn't scout it out.

He also let Boone die, though a) it's questionable whether he could have saved him, and b) letting him die and killing him are two different things.

Hey maybe that giant statue was what ripped the airline pilot out of the cockpit in the 1st episode ,and rattled the trees and made that screaming noise.
