I'm sure we'll dissect more stuff within the coming days, after more people have watched the episode :)

personally, i thought the finale sucked compared to last year's. i called a bunch of stuff (to the exact line a couple times), and the whole locke in the coffin thing was painfully obvious after the first hour.

My big question is what about Daniel's boat? Was it within the realm of the moving island and it went with it? No one besides the people on the island know that Daniel's boat-full was on it's way. If it didn't move with the island, why didn't they turn up in the future?
- i asked this same question...doesnotexist
- Oh, and Alpert's aggressive use of eyeliner creeps me the fuck outlocustsloth
- because they died?doesnotexist
- i guess, but that seems like way to big of an opportunity for the writers not to exploitlocustsloth
- i bet that weird guy (jeremy davies/daniel faraday) leads the oceanic 6 back to the island...doesnotexist
- I don't mind the eyeliner. There's always one guy...Jaline

The way this one ended actually works for me. Consider this; the next time we see an new Lost episode wil be in January of 2009. Last season's cliffhanger (the flash forward, some got off the island, but they gotta go back thing) just had me chomping at the bit for more. This ending leaves me with interest enough to tune in when it comes back (and play the ARG in the meantime), but not so much that i buy a calendar and countdown the days. Everything is set for the next initiative; it's almost like coming up for air when you're diving underwater, looking for something. You still want to get back down there, but it's nice to take a breath.
- I was thinking the same thing. Not as exciting, but it's almost better that way.Jaline

i also loved how the beginning of the final 2 hrs picked up the moment after the last scene from last season's finale.
- yeah, it was weird too. I forgot about that scene.Jaline

Here's a great web site a coworker sent me:

This is the timeline du jour if there ever was one. Lots of good stuff.

Other thoughts:
• Charlotte was born on the island! i thought Miles was great in the scene where he asked her why she was leaving, but how did he know (what dead person told him)?
• Find out what the backwards phonecall to Kate said here:
http://losteastereggs.blogspot.c…
• Did Sun accidentally and/or unknowingly give Locke up when she told Widmore that the 6 were not the only ones to make it off the island
• Is Sun just using Widmore to find the island or is she prepared to be in league with him? And who is the other person she blames for Jin's death? Kate? Jack? Locke? Ben? Widmore?- Yes, i am a bit obsessedlocustsloth
- yes i like this.doesnotexist
- Hmm...I think Sun hates Ben and Jack (from what Jack said at the end), but there are others she could hate.Jaline
- I bet all of her hatred has to do with Jin's death. Which makes sense. I'm still wondering about Charlotte.Jaline
- But we'll probably hear more of that next season. Also, Juliet looked really good in the last episode.Jaline
- Also, your response is fine :)
Mine was longer anyway.Jaline

Hmmm, makes you wonder what the horrible thing that happens on the island after they leave is, since all the mercenaries got killed. It must have been pretty bad to make Locke want to leave.
- maybe it's not really locke...OoooOOOOOdoesnotexist
- Maybe that's Jacob, who is really Locke from the future/past. Or maybe Locke left for a different reason or way.Jaline
- some other way.Jaline

@blackfrancis, ^ Yes, arguably the coolest fucking scene in the episode.
I'm starting to believe that Widmore used to be on the island, but was "taken off" the very same way that Ben was -- by pushing the teleporter mechanism crank, and zapping away, unable to ever return. He DID say "It's always been my island". It's very possible that he was somehow suckered into leaving the island this way.
The only thing I'm not keen on is how, other than the Farady/Juliet/Sawyer/Bernard/etc... there only seems to be like five "nameless" survivors remaining. Overall the survivors camp on the island is dwindled down to like 10 people (or so it appears). This is a little bothersome, even if the number of heroes is down, it was always nice to know there were some 40 odd survivors roaming around the camp.
Now that we have only a handful left, and then the entire Others camp... are they simply going to absorb the remaining survivors and form one big group? Is there even any conflict left on the island? You've got the remaining survivors, and the Others, lead by Locke (who has no ill will toward the former) -- so is there any reason for anyone to fight and not just get along? I'm confused about what sort of dynamic there is left between these 2 factions.
- I think Widmore had Ben's "job" at one point in time...blackfrancis

The thing I really want to know the answer to is what Sawyer said to Kate.
- Possibly something regarding his daughter / family.Jaline
- True.cursiveshotgun
- The thing she wouldn't tell Jack about... ow, my head hurts.gadg3tg1rl
- Well, Kate was right beside him in the helicopter too and he had to move fast.Jaline

Here's an article about Matthew Fox's knowledge on the how the show will end.

kult's theory about Widmore makes sense. There's a theory going around that the island appeared UNDER the Black Rock and that's why it's in the middle of the island. Maybe Widmore was on it and that's why he was buting the painting of it at the auction a couple episodes back. THen, as kult suggests, he turned the frozen donkey wheel and was banished
- I like that theory. Does that make Widmore is an immortal like Richard. Maybe he was on the Black Rock too...
blackfrancis - I think the painting was on Widmore's wall next to his bed in the scene where Ben visits him.blackfrancis
- I like that theory. Does that make Widmore is an immortal like Richard. Maybe he was on the Black Rock too...

To Kult's post, and the one question I've asked often:
What about all the kids on the other island? The other survivors? No mention of them for this entire season. I don't think the writers and producers can just let that go so easily.

- in addition to these (maybe) is the 15 or so extras who died on the freighterlocustsloth

My wife, who likes Lost, but keeps that rational "WTF" attitude about the whole show, made a very interesting point:
Why did Ben move the island if he knew all the mercenaries that "threatened" the island were dead...
My reply was that he needed to move it so the survivors he "allowed" to leave (Jack, Kate, Sayid...) couldn't tell anyone where its located.
If she'd have called "bullshit", I'd have been in trouble...
Help me out here and give me you're theory.
- Also, the head soldier told him that they'd never stop coming after him and the island, so it's just better to move it now.Jaline
- B/c ppl (probably with Widmore) had already reached the island throughout the season. Naomi and crew = suspicious.Jaline
- Yes. Thanks J.blackfrancis
- But does that ean Ben doesn't know where the island is either? Thus, "once you move the island, you can't come back"blackfrancis
- He's now manipulating Jack,Kate, etc... to get back to the island for his own selfish reasons... Maybe...blackfrancis
- I wonder if he actually thinks he won't be going back to the island (ie. he dies?) b/c he had to perform the task.Jaline
- But we know he doesn't from the future clips. Well...we think we know.Jaline
- He's had his whole life + Richard to discover the secrets of the island. Secret things + his Dharma...blackfrancis
- knowledge = a hardcore (near religious) fanatic + a man versed in science. What is Jesus was just in rotation...blackfrancis
- (What if) duh... What if Jesus was in rotation... what if someone's savior didn't matter. What if what needs...
blackfrancis - saving is a place or ideal. And only one person is the true carekeeper of that.blackfrancis
- also - the last thing in the timeline of Lost we know about is the last scene of the Season 4 Finale.blackfrancis
