Lost!

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm more excited about what's brewing in the alt timeline than what is going on in the Island (LOVE how that is all playing out), but I am looking forward to seeing how both will converge.

Jack assuming Jacob's role felt very anti-climatic, so I hope that was intentional.

I would have been surprised if Ben's vendetta against Widmore had just gone away, but if we're supposed to believe that Miles discovering Ben's "daughter's" grave caused him to about face EVERYTHING, I'll be pissed. HIs "because no one else will have me" episode was one of my favorite in the series. That said he's always been two-faced.

If Richard doesn't have a pivital role in the finale, his character will seem totally pointless in retrospect.

Lockeness Monster saying he wants to destroy the Island made me think of the opening scene, where we see the Island underwater. Always assumed that was the alt timeline, based on the bomb exploding and causing that re-boot, but now I'm wondering if it was foreshadowing the finale in some way.

I rather liked the bare-bones way they went about it. It would have seemed stupid to me if they pretended there was some suspense - - like as if Jack wasn't going to replace Jacob from about the fifth episode of the series.

Anyway, they had the Ask Jacob Questions Around the Campfire scene that I've been waiting for all season. I can't really blame them for only covering the major, major questions - otherwise that scene would have had to have been a double episode all its own. Would have been fine by me, but I can see why they want to move things along at a brisker pace.


And I think Richard's alive (otherwise why not show it?), and I'm sure Ben is double-crossing Flocke. How much more could that have been telegraphed? Like I said, twists are fine - cheats are not. Ben is still on "our" side.
