LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

[Remus Lupin]

Here's a question: From what point in history was Jacob's and his brother's mother (their real one?). She briefly spoke what might have been latin (but it also might have been Spanish? Her dress looked vaguely Roman, but there was little else (except maybe the dagger?) to give us an historical clue.

Also, the statue had not been built yet, and the statue was Egyptian, but I don't know if that can tell us a lot about the historical timeline either.

 

[RangerWickett]

It was Latin. I was amused by the American accents of all the natives, though.

At this point, I don't think the history matters. They spent a whole episode basically showing us a glowing cave, and that Jacob is even more of an *ss than I though (and Smokey more a sympathetic victim). It revealed almost nothing we had not already been told, and would have worked much better, I feel, if it had been spliced into the episode as a flashback, from Smokey's perspective.

That would have stayed much more true to the nature of the series, and let us have actual plot advancement, without wasting time on fluff. The events of this episode did not warrant 43 minutes of screen time. (I felt the same with the Ricardo episode.)

Thoughts on the penultimate episode?

• I'm not convinced that Jack truly is the protector. I picture Sawyer arguing with him that his life is with Kate raising kids. I think Sawyer will be the protector.
  
• I love Desmond's calm, assured demeanor.
  
• Was Evil Locke telling the truth or whole truth about what Widmore said? I'm not sure.

Overall, I liked it. It wasn't great as it seemed to be just the calm before the big events, but it was still good. I can't wait for Sunday.

 

[Jack7]

I'm not convinced yet that Jack will end up being the only protector. And I suspect that Desmond is somehow gonna be bringing in a second team to raid the game.

I'm very much looking forwards to the last night, especially since Un-Locke is shooting to destroy the Island. I think that means something other than what he thinks it does.

And something other than what Ben thinks it does.

I'm gonna miss this show.
In my opinion the greatest television show of all time. (So far.)

 

[Starman]

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how the alt-reality is going to end up playing out. Will they be able to choose which reality they want to continue living in? Will the alt-reality just go away?

 

[Jack7]

I'd be shocked if Locke and Un-Locke don't have a confrontation.

By the way, my kid was jumping all around me this evening when I got in from training. Did anybody see the pic of Jack, his kid, and someone else? I just glanced it.

Was the someone else a female, as in his wife?
If so who did it look like?

You know what though. I hope Mr. Eko makes a last appearance on Sunday.
I kinda miss him.

 

[Remus Lupin]

Man, they weren't shy about starting to shed supporting characters tonight, were they? Richard, BANG! Zoe, BANG! Whidmore, BANG! Smokey was tying up loose ends faster than you could say "Dharma Initiative"!

It was Jack, his kid, and Christian.

 

[John Crichton]

There is only one way this will end: Jack vs. Locke.

It will be epic.

Ben double-cross in 3, 2, 1...
