Awesome episode, I wouldn’t mind if the series ended right there. I’ve still got some unanswered questions though (most will probably be answered next season):
What’s the story behind Jacob?
What happened/happens to Richard and the others?
Why can’t Miguel get killed? (the one-eyed man)
Who was in the coffin?
Does Desmond have any trouble before returning to the beach?
Does Penny find the island now?
What happens to Ben?
Was Naomi who she said she was or was Ben lying again?
How did Walt get back on the island and why was he so much older?
Are there any more hatches?
What about the monster? Is it related to Jacob?
I don’t see how they can stretch this out 3 more years…
1)I’d assume she will, since she now knows about the crash survivors and that Des is there with them.
2)Naomi said she was with Penny’s people, which we now know was a flat out lie. Regardless of her intentions we know that Ben was not entirely wrong in what he said about her.
3)Walt is a psychic. He can project his image for others to see and hear. The actor has aged ahead of the show’s timeline and had to be removed for continuity’s sake, so him actually being on the island isn’t necessarily what we’re seeing.
He tried to write the script for his “father” rather than himself.
Pretty sure Jack was paranoid and just stressed (trying to find the island) out from the cotin and the constant body clock changes from flying in and out of LA every Friday, when he was talking to the CoS about not being as drunk as his father.
I don’t know…how do you explain that dharma hasn’t realized everyone in there crew was killed off? It’s not like ben was a leader there and the officials at dharma will be like oh…we haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone but you for the last however many years, that’s ok everything is probably alright.
It could be someone completely out of the blue…everything is usually connected somehow in lost though.
He killed himself on purpose so everyone else would get rescued.
^
It could be Dharma was still dropping food because, Ben was the only one controlling what communications got out and what did not. If it is Dharma, it could be right now, they are finally figured out, some shit is going on.
That or someone’s idea of alternate realities is correct and the group that is coming is from another dimension, where things are different, i.e. Jack’s pop might not be dead.
Pretty sure, Locke hopped off into the jungle to either connect back with Jacob and/or take control of the remaining Others.
S1&2 had me hooked like a heroin addict, but something about the mad side-story subplottiness of S3 made the show lose a lot of appeal for me. even the scenes with my favorite hottie on the show kate don’t really do it for me anymore; and that scene by the river where kate stops and jack tells her he loves her felt like a desperate attempt by the writers to engage the audience again.
BUT… the climactic flash-forward definitely flipped the script, and going off of what ev lily told kimmel on his show a few weeks ago about Lost concluding 3 seasons from now, hopefully we’ll see some concise, focused writing reflected in the coming season(s).
He flipped the switch. He spoke with Penny. THEN Mikal knocks on the window and shows him a grenade. Charlie and Des should have quickly ran out to the moonpool and swam back up.
The ONLY reason I can imagine that Charlie was so stupid as to not simply escape after accomplishing his task, was that he perhaps felt that he needed to die to “complete” Desmond’s vision. Desmond said Charlie swims down, flips the switch, drowns, and everybody gets rescued. Maybe Charlie thought that if he swims down, flips the switch, and then lives afterward… that nobody would get rescued.
^that’s the conclusion I came to after giving it some more thought.
Also I’ve been thinking more and more that the obituary scrap Jack was carrying was Jacob’s. If it’s a character we haven’t been introduced to yet and one Kate’s natural reaction to was one of revulsion, that’s the best explanation I can make with the info we have.
he did it so that the Looking Glass would not flood.
The door could only be locked from the inside.
anyway,
what I wonder is during the flash forward how is Jack able to integrate himself back into society??
The survivors of Oceanic 815 were all pronounced dead to the public, yet Jack walks around the hospital and gets referred to by name all over the place. Mother freakin dead man walking O_o
the flash forward could jus be a desmond vision, but I donno about that.
Either way, I didn’t really like Charlie a whole lot until these past couple of episodes. I didn’t dislike him, as some do, but I mean he wasn’t a favorite of mine or anything.
True but with communications turned off, what use did they have for the Looking Glass. Also by the damage done to the room Charlie was in, having the door open would have given him and Desmond enough time to get out (provided there was enough gear for two men.
