Lost!

I have to say, though, that I found Richard's being "doomed" to live forever to be kinda lame. Jacob couldn't give him any of the things he really desired, so Ricardo seemed to have made that one up on the spot while grasping at straws for what one wishes for when granted the proverbial 3 genii wishes.

They could have at least attempted to tie it in to the survival instinct just refreshed via his ocean water-boarding a few moments earlier. But you could see in Richard's face at that moment that he was just - ok, well, um, I guess ... um, live forever?


Still, it was my favorite episode of the season. Finally getting around to the Losties talking about their candidacies, and more of the conflict between old time Jacob and MIB - plus I've always said the off-island stuff is the best - and it doesn't get better than Period Romance Novel stuff with scruffy yummy Nestor.

He chose living forever because dying meant going to hell. It wasn't just, "Uuuh, I can't think of anything else", it was his only option left.
