And Now We’re LOST For 8 Months…
The season finale of LOST was last night. *big sigh*
If you Tivo’d it and haven’t watched it yet, click away now.
Come back after you’ve seen it.
Okay, everyone who did watch it, let’s get down to it.
 Update: I’ve changed my mind about John being in the coffin. Click here for my new thoughts.
 The flash-forward to the future that we saw tells us that John Locke died alone and off of the island. No one attended his funeral; only Jack showed up in the hopes that Kate would as well. How sad. I’m wondering if they forced John to leave the island in some way. Maybe he was unconscious. Whatever it was, it was the death of him.
Kate isn’t with Jack, but she is with someone. My guess is Sawyer. The secretive way that Jack met up with her has me thinking that Kate is still on the run. She wasn’t pregnant though, which is curious. Is she not pregnant now, or in the future, had she had the baby already?
Things that were nice to see - Danielle and Alex finally meeting, Ben finally getting the shit beat out of him (although I feel in this particular case he didn’t deserve it, as he knows something no one else does and they really shouldn’t have made that call; but he does deserve it for all of his past actions), Penny knowing for certain that Desmond is alive and on the island, Hurley running down Ryan in the Dharma van and saving the day, Jack finally telling Kate that he loves her, and seeing John up and walking - albeit in a serious amount of pain and suffering.
Charlie could’ve gotten out of that room in time, and sealed the air lock from the other side of the door. He could’ve waited for the room to fill up past the porthole (equalizing the pressure) and then swam out of it, under the station, and back up through the submarine pool. He didn’t have to die, although I suppose he thought that he did in order to ensure that Claire and Aaron got off of the island. It was sad, but in a noble way - I didn’t even cry. Just sighed.
I did a lot of sighing last night.
Hubby continues to remind me the lesson we learned from the finale of Heroes - that the future isn’t set in stone. Perhaps the gut-wrenching mess of a life that Jack has off of the island doesn’t have to be the future. Perhaps John doesn’t have to die. Maybe they will have a happy ending.
And that’s all I want, in the end. For everyone to have their own happy ending. If that means that John stays on the island because he wants to, so be it. If that means that Bernard and Rose stay there too because of her cancer, so be it. If that means our Losties get split up in the end and some leave while some stay, so be it - as long as it’s their own choice.
And now we’re the ones who are lost, for 8 months while we wait for the show’s return. I hate that. But at least I’ll have Harry Potter this summer, and Halo this fall, to keep me occupied.
*sigh*

I hadn’t realized that it’s 8 months until Lost will be back. Seems like too long of a wait.
I’m holding out hope that Charlie will not die, although I guess it makes sense that he will die to make sure that Claire and Aaron are saved.

i’m intrigued as to why you think it is john in the coffin. i’ve read many different speculations, but yours is the only one i’ve read that had no question to it. intersting.
i dont think the future we saw was *THE* future, set in stone, as you put it. i think it’s a possible future. we’ve already seen that the future isn’t set on lost, as desmond keeps changing it too keep charlie alive, until charlie felt that he needed to die to save claire and aaron.
8 months is a long time to wait for answers, i’m sure we’ll all be waiting anxiously.
