Unless it's a flashback to the past, and the magnetic signals travel through time!!!!
But I doubt it.
So . . .
Planet of the Apes-esque statue.
'Proof' that they're in the modern day.
I know Eko and Locke aren't dead. This show doesn't do ambiguous deaths, so they're obviously alive. And pissed at each other. I can imagine Desmond being dead, but he was a really well-wrought character. I don't want to see him go.
The only thing I'm actually miffed about is Charlie and Claire getting back together. It just seemed too easy. They never had an event that defined their reconciliation.
'Henry Gale' clearly looks to be the leader of this group, though he probably has a superior.
I kinda wish Desmond had checked again to see whether Henry Gale did press the button.
I don't want to hate Michael, even though he's a horribly messed-up person. I would love it if they redeem him somehow by having him actually bring help, even if it means his downfall.
Are we missing any characters? Rose and her husband, I s'pose, didn't get much screen time. Ana Lucia won't be coming back, which actually disappoints me. I liked her at the end. Libby will clearly show up in more flashbacks, especially if Desmond isn't really dead.
Let's see. We saw Sayyid's torture teacher, right? Am I missing any other key plot points?
