[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I think we are to assume that Desmond took Lockness Monster's boat, since he knew how to sail.

I only wish the Island had been Limbo, as I think planned. Jack seeing his Dad, Locke being able to walk, Walt reading a comic that included a polar bear and essentially manifesting one, and the whispers (which reminded me of The Others), all seem to be evidence of this plan. Seems like the writers went out of their way to convince us otherwise when so many of us guessed that, creating a diversion that looks in retrospect like very bad writing. But I don't mind that the show was about flawed people coming together, forming various kinds of relationships, and coming to terms with themselves. Purpose of the show stays true but I maintain it would probably have worked better if they hadn't gone so far out of their way to tell it.
