He must be have been just using his form in the same way as he is using Locke's as Jacob's brother is clearly very dead.<br /><br />So even though I felt really sorry for MiB, the entity taking Locke's form is much more sinister.Val Stevensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-39690195035700357832010-05-10T10:46:08.103-05:002010-05-10T10:46:08.103-05:00A great episode.

Was one list created by Jacob, the light house list perhaps, and one by the Man in Black? Why is Kate's last name, Austen, not crossed out in the light house, but is crossed out in the cave?Much to do about nothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846589123410692448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-53277647257041923512010-05-10T05:07:54.865-05:002010-05-10T05:07:54.865-05:00One other thing.

He must have found out from Eloise who's been keeping him at arms length for years but has now told him - she must have had an audience with Jacob, directly or indirectly via Richard, once she killed her unborn son. That would be toooo weird not to have an audience with Jacob. Hence at that point they must have worked out what was going on hence all the future monitoring and touching by Jacob, and the planning for what was going to happen when the endgame was reached.<br /><br />By the way what happened to the supply drop answer we were promised at the start of the series. Is Eloise going to parachute in? Can't see it for such an old lady but you never know!

I was happy he died like that because it was a return of the old Sayid...which makes me wonder slightly (but only slightly!) about a return of the old Locke in that timeline...?<br /><br />As for Jin and Sun - it was soi ridiculous that they've been speaking Enlgish that it had the effect of distancing me from any real emotion - you want to tell me they would really have spoken a foreign language in that situation? And like others have said that they were so wrapped up in their love that they would have forgotten the daughter they'd just been talking about?! It was all a bit too Titanic for me...<br /><br />As for Sawyer pulling the wires and Jack saving him - contrasts with Jack saying the bomb should be detonated and that being the cause of Juliet's death, but Sawyer rejecting him...<br /><br />Finally - Sayid must have known Jack is pivotal because Desmond knows and told him...whether or not Jack is the final chosen one, I'm not sure because what about the original "prophecy" over Aaron when Claire was looking at giving him up for adoption in the original timeline?<br /><br />I will be devastated if Kate dies - that was what I found upsetting this episode, although given how dreadful she looked on the sub, I'm struggling to figure out how she had more energy on the beach having just nearly drowned as well!<br /><br />And Jack's crying...awesome acting - loving his character in these last episodes!Gill (UK)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-4074827912969922402010-05-08T08:24:44.054-05:002010-05-08T08:24:44.054-05:00It was SO great to chat about LOST and catch up!!

In other words , what ending to the story would ruin their LOST experience. For me it would be a bobby ewing (not sure how to spell that!) it was all a bad dream shower scenario. I think it would make fascinating reading to see what is making LOST fans nervous in the run up to the finale. Still loving your blog!

Annoying really, Great character!<br />Interesting to know what might of happened to the bomb if Sawyer hadn't pulled the wires. I presume If Jacks right and MIB can't kill them it was Sawyer who effectivly killed all four of them!<br /><br />The way Jack didnt take cover on the dock and stood out in the open with bullets flying everywhere proves his point ( Can anyone kill the candidates but themselves?) Kate was the only one shot (not a candidate)<br /><br />Cant wait to see how Richard/Miles re-appear.<br /><br />Is it possible for Richard to appear in the flash sideways?<br /><br />By the way e, its been confirmed that the Finale over here is Friday the 28th!!

He was one of my favourite characters, the one-liners just made the show IMO XD Although, just like @Nick said, we didn't see a 'Lapidus death shot', so I'm still hopeful! *And I hated how Jack etc were only bothered about Sun,Jin and Sayid.

Just because he, as Smokey, had a stare-down with Eko, Richard and a few others, doesn't mean he could read their minds.<br />I am sure Lapidus, Sayid, Sun and Jin died this time. But we may see them again!

There will always be a Ji Yeon parentless. But what's new? The same thing goes for Aaron and Walt. For me the sideways takes away from the deaths.

When John shows Walt the black and white stones and asks him "Do you want to know a secret?" I first thought he meant that the island had healed him, we never learned what he told him, but now that we know more about John, what do you think? I suspect it has to do with the smoke monster.I am questionning everthing about John now....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-14923461635983021962010-05-06T07:37:53.397-05:002010-05-06T07:37:53.397-05:00Let's face it people.

Much easier to wrap up the story if there aren't as many people to write into the finale. All I can say is Frank got the shaft in his death scene.<br /><br />e, <br />When he is the smoke monster MIB can read minds at least partially. I think that is what the commenter was talking about. I never assumed he had that power when in human form.

Just reading your recap made me sad all over again. What a gut-wretching story. I don't know if I can take the last episodes if they are going to be like that. <br /><br />In spite of all my efforts to stay spoiler free between the time the episode aired and when it became available on Itunes and I could download and watch it, I still saw enough to know that someone died but not four of them! No, no, no! <br /><br />When Demon Locke handed the backpack to Jack, I shouted at my husband, "He's given him his own backpack and I'm sure the C4 is in there" but it didn't prepare me for what followed. <br /><br />I was actually glad that Jin did NOT leave Sun to die alone...and since Jacob said their love was very important, that gives me hope that the two timelines will merge and the "good guys" and even less good ones who have made peace with their past and atoned for the bad they did will somehow still be around. Starting from Charlie all the way through Sayid. And even the real Locke we know and love. I think that's what Juliet meant when she said "It worked". <br /><br />And yes, I also think Bernard knows what is going on but in a good friendly way and not like Eloise Hawking.<br /><br />The crying at the end with Hurley and Kate and Jack was so poignant. But I was afraid Demon Locke was going to shoot Claire, he was so mad. I think Demon Locke knew some of them had lived simply because he wasn't free..the cork is still on the bottle and he's still stuck inside.<br /><br />My daughter couldn't watch the episode with us tonight and she's expecting me to watch it with her tomorrow night but I'm afraid I'll start crying as soon as it starts. I'd better get my act together before then.Sherylmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655704819519115035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-20964200661187999832010-05-06T06:00:17.676-05:002010-05-06T06:00:17.676-05:00May 23rd will be the two months post surgery for t...May 23rd will be the two months post surgery for the dissection and valve replacement!
