When I saw that look on Sawyer's face (great silent acting by Holloway) I remembered Ben from S3: "You're a good con man; we're a lot better."  |

That line forever just reminds me of this now:

This was GREAT episode in my mind. The losses of our favorite characters were SAD, but I think they all went in the ABOUT right way. I don't think any of them are ever getting back off of the island, and with Ji Yeon off the island... Sun and Jin wouldn't have ever stayed. Sayid... poetic. I'm not spoilering these because hey, the show has aired.  I love how Sayid gave the clue about Des to Jack and I hope that there is a kick-butt final 5. Sounds like Locke is coming to get them though... but he doesn't know... about DES. |

lol spinal that's from a StrongBad sketch isn't it? and I'm still hopelessly sad about J&S - it's like they shot my puppies or something. So not fair. so MiL wants them all dead - Widmore seems to really want Kate dead xD just for kicks, Des is in a well and Miles, Richard and Ben are off somewhere together (did I forget anyone?). I must confess I have NO clue where this is going - and that kind of annoys me - I thought I'd be able to have some sort of theory this close to the end, but i don't - and I haven't seen any convincing theories so far. all I know is that if it turns out the out-of-island reality is the one that sticks in the end I'll feel betrayed - it was not that storyline I've been watching for the past six years... it would be like cheating - at least for me. I don't know. I love the show, it keeps me on the edge of my seat and all... but I'm getting the feeling the end is gonna be disappointing - to me at least. ETA: I didn't mean to be a downer but i recognize the post has that quality to it  just putting my thoughts out there, I'm still a big fan and I *hope* I'll be proven wrong. |

I don't know if MiL wants them all dead or not. If he did, why did he save Jack from being killed?

I'd ask the same question but there are a lot of little inconsistencies like that on Lost - it wouldn't be the first one. So i'm not really holding on to that one for now. I guess he just thought it would be easier get them all together and then killed? I mean think of how many times have they been through this? We know there have been other candidates, and maybe MiL just wants to get it all done as quick as possible so he wants them all together? |

^ easy, if Jack was killed all smokey would have is sayid...and you think the captured camp with widmore would just march into the jungle with "no feelings" sayid? Nope, smokey used Jack to get the other candidates back and then have them all killed at once.

Oh and what is the difference between killing someone and causing them to die? I think you would 'break the rules' both ways... semantics. he didn't cause them to die, though. If they had done nothing, they would have lived. He only gave them the means to cause their own death (just as Kate getting shot by Widmore's people could have killed her, and that isn't Locke breaking the rules) I actually thought there was a bit of a plot hole with the bomb, though. if Kate hadn't been shot, Jack wouldn't have opened his pack, so the counter would have run down and stopped just like the dynamite, so Locke surely couldn't have predicted they would see the bomb in time to want to deactivate it (aka activate it). |

If he did, why did he save Jack from being killed? people are potentially useful resources. why leave them to waste when they might be able to help you somehow? I guess only Des and Sayid get that Jack is the candidate, otherwise Locke probably would have thought Jack better dead than alive. |

except when the plot demands a compassionate heroic self-sacrifice. But I guess we just have to put that down to the Lost world having a different reality of human motivation. |

They didn't know that his scale could be re-tipped, if you will. |

here in NZ we didn't have a week off from Lost before this episode, and they're advertising 'four episodes to go'.
does this mean NZ (maybe UK and other places, too?) will be screening the first hour of the finale and making us wait artificially for the last hour and a half of it?!
any other non-Americans on the forum?
