Wow. Crazy. They really pulled out all the stops on this finale, and I would say it made the season 1 finale look like a piece of crap. I loved it. For a while Lost was just kinda eh and I wasn't even sure if it was worth following closely anymore but this? This is gonna make me come back in Season 3 (which I'm sure is what the producers were going for when they made the finale ).I like how we actually have answers (or at least what we think are answers), yet there are still questions. Obviously. A few things that come to mind. Maybe not a "few", but you get the point:
- The Others' camp, with a fake hatch. That means they put it there just for the purpose of fooling Michael? Huh?
- The "statue" that was just a foot that only had 4 toes...it seemed kind of cartoonish and strange.
- What's with the hieroglyphics on the timer? Obviously they have to reset it but what do the hieroglyphics have to do with anything?
- How did the "Quarantine" door just come falling out of the sky?
- Are Locke and Eko fine, and what about Desmond?
- (Still) Where is the island, why do the Others not want to be found, and what makes them say that they won't be no matter what?
- How come everything turned all white when Desmond turned the key (perhaps this is some physics-related question that I don't know the answer to, not necessarily a strange thing in the show..)?
- How is it that by following a certain bearing, Michael and Walt are just saved?
- Why did the Others want Jack, Kate and Sawyer, and is it just a coincidence that they happen to be in a bit of a "love triangle"?
- What kinds of tests did they have Walt do, and what's the point of them?
- Most importantly of all, is the show going to start involving characters not on the island? The idea of that is just so odd, I really hope they aren't going to.
*Sigh*
Still a good episode nonetheless, I just hope we get the answers to all these questions in the last season. Good luck, JJ and Damon.
