For some reason I think it might be Ben in the casket. I think it's Ben or Locke.

Loved the flash forward. That was awesome. What is it that they have all been lying about, as Jack said? Maybe they didn't tell anyone about the Others?

Totally rocking finale. I hope we get to learn more about what Walt may have said to Locke.

Lost season three-right around the corner
 

Ok after watching last nite's finale episode i have a ton of questions. Is Charlie really dead? Remember Locke was shot dead or left for dead after being shot and he returned last nite. I really hope that wasn't the end for Charlie. And why did he have to lock himself in that room anyways? Couldn't he have shut the door behind him and ran with Desmond and jumped into the water? Kate i'm assuming when she told Jack that "he's gonna be wondering where i am" she meant Sawyer. Funny how they showed that clip of them after getting off the island and then Jack saying they have to return to the island. For what i'm wondering? Why would you go back? Plus if it isn't Penny's boat who is it that is coming to rescue them and is Ben right when he said they are bad but then again they were rescued so that didn't make sense.

Life off the island might have been horrible and complicated thus leading to a downward spiral for Jack. It makes me wonder the fate of the of the other Losties after they came back and if the people that truly WANTED to stay on the island (Locke & Ben) actually were able to stay.

Let's give survivors of a horrible plane crash a golden ticket to travel by plane anywhere they want, anytime they want! :rolleyes: That's awesome!

I agree, frelling awesome episode!

I think it was Ben in the casket.

I think Sayid, Bernard, and Jin were spared because Tom (Mr. Friendly) et. al were questioning Ben even before that and just didn't think it was necessary to kill the hostages.

Yes, Jack's beard was horrible. (And his shirt needed to go too. :evil: )

I disagree. That keypad had 12 buttons. There are 12 notes (8 whole + 5 flat/sharp) in the Western musical scale. Any good musician could easily translate notes to numbers, it's not an uncommon practice when teaching music to do so.

But he didn't even try! In fact, he deliberately closed and locked the door. IMO, Charlie did not have to sacrifice himself, but I guess he felt he had to die to save Claire. Grrrr!

Oh HELL yeah! That was cool!

I actually did, out loud, yell "Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talking about"... much like my brother and dad who watch Ultimate Fighting.

Ah, a little silly comparison but didn't the people from Gilligans' Island go back after they were found? Is it some sort of complex that Jack seems to be having, perhaps a survivors' guilt or something to do with his 'hero' label? What happened? What did they leave behind? Is life too real back home and, like Ben said to him, what did he go back to?

Something I caught, is Kate pregnant? They didn't say. Could he be the one who is wondering where she is?

I love all of the comments on here, btw.

I was also quite sad/angry about Charlie dying. I guess the theory about him having to die per Desmonds' vision is it. He had peace with his dying, knowing {thinking} it is part of saving everyone.

I thought that Tom wanted to kill them but that Ben set it up prior that they would shoot into the sand. They made it look like he questioned Ben wanting to kill them but after, when we saw them alive, it made more sense.

He said something about not agreeing with Ben after all they'd just killed seven of their people. They made it sound like he thought it was a bad decision to kill them because look at what they could do but in reality he was pissed and wanted to kill them because of what they'd done.

LOL Is that murky enough? :p

Ah, that's a good call. I think you're right, it makes sense with Tom's line. But then why would Ben have spared them. His whole point was to convince Jack to turn around and give him the phone. Once Jack believed they were dead, he had no reason to listen to Ben anymore. Hmmm.

That, I don't know. Perhaps saving them for some other purpose? Some other leverage later?

I think it's Ben, too. The neither friend or family line, coupled with Kate's dismay that Jack assumed she'd be at the funeral led me to believe it's Ben, too.
