He met her already. Tracked her down at the stadium running.

I've read they pose as many new questions as they supply answers, but I will leave horse heads in the writers' beds if they have plans to follow up with a film. Twin Peaks anyone?!

I assumed the concert was the one with Jack's son, or, are Penny and Jack's son performing in the same concert? Which would make it very weird for Penny to be Jack's son's mother.

You're right and I also forgot that Sideways Desmond already met Penny at the arena (thanks KS!)

I don't know specifically, but there does seem to be some kind of injury "cross over" to the Sideways Jack. First there was the appendectomy scar he had no memory of, I think there was another cut on an earlier episode, and now the multiple minor lacerations on his neck.

I think Desmond has done this a few times, remember his "first" encounter with Jack? "See you in another life, brotha."

I wonder if Desmond ever got to see the movie "Groundhog Day."

There's also the possibility that the island ultimately has to be destroyed in order to prevent NotLocke from unleashing evil on/destroying the world.

I rather liked the bare-bones way they went about it. It would have seemed stupid to me if they pretended there was some suspense - - like as if Jack wasn't going to replace Jacob from about the fifth episode of the series.

Anyway, they had the Ask Jacob Questions Around the Campfire scene that I've been waiting for all season. I can't really blame them for only covering the major, major questions - otherwise that scene would have had to have been a double episode all its own. Would have been fine by me, but I can see why they want to move things along at a brisker pace.


And I think Richard's alive (otherwise why not show it?), and I'm sure Ben is double-crossing Flocke. How much more could that have been telegraphed? Like I said, twists are fine - cheats are not. Ben is still on "our" side.

I think Richard is alive because he is like Jacob - immortal... or immortal to the point he has to be stabbed to die.

Do we know if Jack's son goes to the same school Locke and Ben teach at (and Alex attends)?

The blond in this pic is Ashley. She's my cast mate for "Once Upon One Time". :)
