Last night, I watched the best two hours of television I have ever seen in my life -- the LOST finale. I just wanted to post some of my thoughts/questions and get a reaction from those of you who might have viewed the episode, as well.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, SCROLL NO FURTHER!
Questions:
- What temple are the Others going to, and why?
- Is Mikhail invincible, or was the spear gun simply set at a "non-lethal level"?
- Along the same lines, are Mikhail and Locke able to harness some sort of healing power of the island? After seeing Walt, Locke seemed perfectly fine to me.
- Who is Ben protecting the island from, and what goal does he really have in jamming the transmissions?
-How is Penelope sending out a transmission to the island, yet she doesn't seem to know the island exists? (she questions Charlie when he says they're on an island).
-If Naomi isn't with Penelope, why did she have a picture of Desmond?
-Who is Naomi with? Was she lying about flight 815 being found, or was that sincere?
-Who was in the coffin???
-Is Jack's dad alive again, in some sort of alternate future reality?
-Why isn't Kate in jail?
-Who is the "he" that Kate mentions will be waiting for her?
Awesome Moments:
-Rose's many one-liners
-Ben asking who the person in the Looking Glass was, the woman responding, "He won't tell me," and Charlie shouting in the background, "It's Charlie! Tell him I said hi!"
-Desmond diving down to the Looking Glass and postponing Charlie's existence at least long enough for him to complete the mission
-Charlie writing "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand, rather than some cheesy message to Claire
-Sayid, Bernard, and Jin not really getting shot after all!
-Hurley's kamikaze VW van trip
-Sayid snapping a guy's neck with his legs!
-WALT!!!!!
-Locke rising from the grave
-Rousseau finally reuniting with Alex
And that's all I've got for now, except one last thing. The whole situation with Jack wanting desperately to go back to the island but not being able to get there reminded me of a story or movie I've seen/read/heard in the past, but I can't place what it was. All I remember is some sort of fantasy land and someone desperately wanting to go back, but they grow old and forget about it, maybe? The only thing I can think of that sort of relates is Peter Pan, but I don't think that's what I'm remembering. Anybody have any idea?
Let me know your thoughts/questions/comments/theories. We've got plenty of time to discuss!
