Yeah, that's a cop-out herring if it's not strictly Christian-Limbo, but limbo enough that I still have to bend over backwards.
And bewitched, I'm not watching it for the answers. So I didn't care why Jacob "granted" Richard immortality - I just didn't like the way it played out. Richard didn't want immortality - he seemed to just pick it as a boobie prize. I think the rationale could have been made more clear - seeing that it is such a classically damning choice.
Anyway, I care about questions more than answers. It satisfied me so much that the the Jacob-Team Losties sat around a campfire and talked with EACH OTHER about being candidates for all of two minutes. I didn't care if there were no solutions. It was just long since time they actually accepted it and were discussing it.
I also enjoyed seeing some more of Jacob and MIB's interaction during the Black Rock days and finally have them say out loud that Jacob is a good god and MIB is a bad god, and they are out to influence the world for good or evil as the case may be.
The chips haven't moved one iota this entire season, but I feel they are FINALLY on the table.
