Um, CP, I meant after that. Once they pulled Desmond up, what happened to him? He simply disappeared. If he was going to Desmond-disappear, they should have left him in the cork room where that was supposed to happen. Instead, sloppy writing or editing had them "save" him only to have him completely disappear with no explanation.
And it was stupid having Jack "save" Desmond, since he knew full well that Desmond can withstand the energy of The Light, and all he had was a hit on the head - while Jack had a fatal stab wound. Dumb.
Stupid editing and poor post-production compensation were also responsible for Ben escaping the unescapable tree fall. Lame.
scaeagles - I would have liked it much better, too, if the sideways timeline actually converged with the Island. I think them all being dead the whole time in the sideways world of matrix-fantasy was a cop-out, and kinda too creepy.
In that sense, did Juliette's detonation of the nuclear bomb really "work?" Faraday was wrong. Flight 815 didn't go on to land safely in Los Angeles. I suppose it was successful in that the Island did not blow up, and I guess the Dharma-stuck Losties were all catapulted forward in time to meet up with the other present-day Losties. But I'm not happy that Faraday was made wrong and the alt timeline is just where most Islanders go when they eventually die.
I'm just happy to be right that the story was about Limbo the whole time and though the writers can create a lot of good stuff, they were pulling most of that stuff out of their asses.
