Sperler alert!
And a word of warning, this discussion is a little bit random and scattered...Sorry about that.
Wow.... What a payoff.
I don't know about anybody else, but I was certainly not disappointed. As much as it was fun to speculate about the questions being answered, I knew they would never answer "all" of them. I am satisfied with how they needed it, though. it came back to the characters, and that's what the show had always been about(for me, anyway).
I thought the opening montage contrasting the "sideways" world and the Island world was pretty well done.
Some really great moments in this one.
It was great to see Rose & Bernard(and Vincent) again. I loved how Rose very delicately told Desmond that he had to leave because they "didn't get involved", but when Flocke threatened to kill them if Desmond didn't go with him, Rose said"You don't have to go anywhere with him." Rose has always been one of my favorite characters on this show, and that was such a perfect moment for her.
I liked Jack saying that he took the job as Island protector because the Island was "the only thing in my life that I didn't ruin."
I also liked Jack defending Locke in the cave "You're not John Locke. You disrespect him by wearing his face, but you're nothing like him."
LOVED the mountain fight!!
"I want you to know. jack. You died for nothing."
And then Kate, :"I saved you a bullet." Flocke is DEAD.
Jack:"I'm fine. Just find me some thread and I can count to five."
Ben and Hurley decided to stay with Jack.Jack tells Hurley that he will have to take the job now, that Jack was just meant to stop Flocke.He passes the "torch" to Hurley. Desmond is still alive in the cave, jack saves him, and puts teh cork back in the Island. the water and the light return.
Lapidus gets Miles, Richard, Claire, Kate and Sawyer off the Island.
Ben tells Hurley that he should run the Island however he wants to, perhaps beginning with letting Desmond leave.Hurley asks for Ben's help in guarding the Island, Ben accepts, and says he'd be honored.
In the "sideways" world, a lot was going on. I gotta say, this was really moving for me.I found myself tearing up quite a few times. Desmond's plan starts to come together.
Is starts when Sun and Jin remember when they are looking at the ultrasound. Sniff,sob.
then Boone & Hurley reunite Sayid and Shannon. Sniff sob.
Aaron's delivery triggered Claire, Charlie and Kate. Sniff, sob, sniff.
Locke is triggered by moving his toes. Sniff,sob. He tells Jack, I hope somebody does for you what you just did for me."
LOVED Jin and Sun's interaction with Sawyer.
Sawyer..Excuse me, JAMES and Juliet. Sniff, sob, wail. This one was sooooo good.
"Kiss me, James."
"You got it, Blondie."
Jack and Kate at the concert. Doesn't quite trigger Jack, but I thought Kate's,"I missed you soo much." line was fantastic.
Ben: I'm very sorry for what I did to you, John. I was selfish, jealous. I wanted everything you had."
John: If it helps, I forgive you."
I thought it was interesting that Ben didn't go in with the rest of them. I presume he wanted to work through some things with Alex and Rousseau. I liked his moment with Hurley.
Kate brings jack to the church, and Jack goes to see his father's body. He touches the coffin, and that is his final trigger, and he has a conversation with his Father where he realizes that he is dead. that they are all dead, but that they have all died at different times, and the "sideways" world was something that they created together so that they could find each other after they died,because they were all important to each other. "Nobody does it alone. You needed all of them, and they needed you."
It was time for them to move on. Jack goes in to see them all. Christian opens the door. They all see a light.
back on the Island, we see jack wander back to where it all began, where he landed after the crash. He lies down, he sees the plane take off, so he knows his friends are safe. Vincent lies down with him, and we see his eye close....LOST.
Wow.It moved me. It's corny, but it's the truth. I don't know that I really knew how much I cared about these characters until this episode, but i found myself really moved by them rediscovering each other, and remembering all they had been through. I like the idea of that.I don't know if it's just because I have lost a couple of people close to me in the last few years, but that concept hit me very hard. I thought it was a great explanation for the sideways reality.
I know I have more to say, but i want to get this posted, because I want to hear what you guys have to say.
What did y'all think? What did I miss?

LOST 6.16:What They Died For"
S-blah-P-blah-O-blah-I-blah-L-blah-E-blah-R blah A-blah-L-blah-E-blah-R-blah-T.
"I lived here 30 years before you did, also known as last week."- MILES!!!
Wow. I guess I should have seen Ben's regression coming,and I kinda did, as soon as he met up Widmore, but it still was a bit shocking.
I don't know that I'm in a mood to just recount the episode, so I think I'll try and free from it a little bit today.
First- I think at some point in the season Finale, someone(presumably Ben, if the protection from Smokey that Jacob enjoyed transfers to Jack) will hold a knife to Jack's throat...That's why I think he keeps seeing a cut on his neck in the Alternate Reality.
Why does A/R Locke need to let go? What does he need to let go of? I presume he is the one holding the A/R together...But why?
Loved the scene with Alex and Ben and Danielle in the A/R. Emerson played that so well, you could just see the confusion of the Island memories and his current reality swirling in his head.And it seemed like he was sad, but didn't really know why.
Very interesting to see Desmond manipulating all these pieces in the A/R. Everything is going to coincide at the "Concert". Where do you think Hurley and Sayid are going? To see Juliet?
It was very interesting to see the rage build in Ben as first Widmore showed up, and THEN said that Jacob INVITED him to the Island.It was like haymaker after haymaker being landed on him, all after the initial blow of passing Alex' grave.You could just tell he was gonna snap, and when he did...Oh Man. "He doesn't get to save his daughter." Yikes!!
Do you think Widmore whispered the truth to Smokey? all that Smokey said was what we heard Widmore say, he didn't add anything from what Widmore whispered.
Do you think Ben will help Smokey destroy the Island? I don't see him aiding in that endeavor.
Didn't you know that Richard was dead as soon as he walked outside? i was thinking, "Richard! He doesn't need you to join him anymore!! A lot has happened on your walk to the Dharma barracks!" But he ddin't hear me, and he got "Smoked".
So, now Ben is with Smokey, and they are going to use Desmond to destroy the Island-I still don't think Ben will help Smokey do that, but we'll see.
Now, to our Final Four: It was nice to see Jack trying to ease Sawyer's burden about the bomb.
And it was interesting to see Kate and Jack agree that they need to kill Locke...As if they were still holding out hope there may have been some other way.
Jacob finally has a sit down with the candidates. We find out quite a bit in this conversation. Kate was crossed off of the list because she became a mother, but the job was still hers if she wants it.
He tells them taht he brought them to the Island because he needed one of them to take over protecting the heart of the Island from Smokey, whom he admits he created, a "mistake".
"I didn't pluck any of you out of a happy existence. You were like me.Alone."
"You want us to kill him"
"I hope so, because he most certainly wants to kill you."(or will try to kill you, i didn't write that quote down.)
Jacob wanted them to have the one thing he never had: A choice. And if they choose not to choose, "This will all end very badly."
jack stepped up, "This is what I'm here for."
"Is that a question, Jack?"
"No."
"Good."
Jacob takes Jack to the stream,and he has the same ceremony that he had with his Mother. Jack asks how long he will have to do the job, and Jacob tells him "as long as you can."
Jack is now like Jacob.
Sawyer gets in one last dig.
Coupla questions(or maybe just one)- Why do you think Miles is still alive? Comic relief? or do you think one of the dead bodies on the Island is going to have an important piece of info for him? I'm leaning towards the latter...Jack's Dad maybe ? Or maybe Smokey and Jacob's fake mom?
Okay, that's what I got...What did I miss ? What do y'all think?

LOST 6.15: Across The Sea
Blah blah blah Spoiler Alert....
Talk about a flashback, huh?
So, what answers did we get?
We learned the identity of Adam and Eve.
We learned of the origin of Smokey.
We sorta learned why the Island is special.
We learned that the MIB and Jacob ARE brothers.
We learned about MIB's crazy mother.
What questions were raised?
How did their Mother end up on the Island?
How long had she been there?
Who exactly tasked her with taking care of "the light" ?
How many other people had she killed? I noticed a bunch of graves behind the pregnant Claudia(I guess that was her "killing spot"?).
How did she make it so that they could not kill each other?
Were Jacob and _________ special before they arrived, or did she make them special?
Why can't Jacob see the dead?
Do Jacob and ____________ know all the "rules" simply because of their community with the Island? Jacob because he drank the wine and accepted the responsibility and ______________ because he became Smokey?
What do you think we are supposed to think about the ghost of Claudia? was she just telling her son the truth, or was it some sort of manipulation? But by whom? Does the Island itself tempt and test people?
I loved "Every question you ask will lead to another question."
And "One day you can make up your own game, and everyone will have to play by your rules."
A coupla questions to people smarter than I? Is this like the Esau Jacob story? Or Cain and Abel? The chosen one not wanting to be "chosen", and the other brother stepping in?
Also, anyone know about when this was supposed to be, history wise? Anyone recognize Claudia and her people's clothing ?
Wow, my brain is still reeling from this episode.

LOST 6.14- The Candidate
Blah blah blah Spoiler Alert Blah blah blah blah
"Because it's going to be you, Jack."
Holy flurking snit! I guess shit is really happening now, isn't it? Wow, what a tremendous episode.
SAY-FUCKING-ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNEW that Sayid would redeem himself. And he did it such grand fashion. It was such a Sayid moment, "Listen to me very carefully..." But I'm getting ahead of myself.
We open in the A/R this episode, so let's get that out of the way. Jack tells John that he thinks John is (gasp!) a "a candidate"...For what ? For magical spinal surgery...John refuses. Jack ain't having it. "I could fix you."
Jack goes to see Locke's dentist(BERNARD!!) Jack is clearly thrown by the fact that Bernard was also on Oceanic 815(I loved that Bernard said Jack was hitting on Rose while Bernard was in the bathroom).Jack went to see Bernard to try and find out what happened to put Locke in the wheelchair. Bernard remembered that there was someone else in the crash with Locke...Anthony Cooper.(gasp!) Jack seemed a little surprised that Bernard remembered that fact, and Cooper's name. Bernard then tells Jack that he hopes " you find what you're looking for."
Is it just me, or did Bernard seem to know more about what was going on? Are we to think he has already had flashes of the crash?
Jack goes to see Anthony Cooper, and runs into Locke's fiancée Helen, who asks him to just leave it alone and go. she akss why it can't be enough that he saved Locke's life, and Jack says "Because it's not." Helen then brings him in to meet Anthony Cooper, and he is in a comatose state.
Jack goes back to see Locke, and while Locke is sleeping, he says "Push the button" and "I wish you believed me."
Claire comes to see jack about the music box that their father left her...It plays "Catch A Falling Star" which triggered(for me, anyway) a flashback to the great scene of Crazy Claire, Zombie Sayid and Kate walking through the devastation at the temple...Creepy.
Jack finds out the Claire was ALSO on Oceanic 815...He seems to be coming slightly unglued by all of these "coincidences". he invites Claire to stay at his house, because they are not strangers, they are family.
Jack then sees Locke as he is leaving the hospital(after Jin passes by Locke, and Locke seems to recognize him, if only for a second) and Locke finally tells jack that he crashed a plane with him and his dad in it, and it was his fault that his Dad was comatose. Jack tries to convince Locke that he has to "let go". He says that "what happened, happened".
As Locke is leaving, Jack says that He could "fix" Locke, and "I wish you believed me."
ISLAND
Jack wakes up in a raft on the beach with Sayid. And Sayid seems to make a little joke("At least you didn't have to paddle.").
Widmore puts Sawyer, Kate, Hugo, Lapidus and the Kwons into the Hydra cages. He says that he is doing this for their own good. When Sawyer grabs the rifle from one of the henchman("Doughboy"-ha!), Widmore puts a gun to Kate's head and says he has a list with 4 names on it, Ford, Reyes and the Kwons, so he doesn't care what happens to Kate. Sawyer relents and reveals to Kate that her name was crossed out in the cave.
Locke tells Jack that they have to save "your people" from Widmore. Jack says that they are not "his People", and that he is not leaving the Island. Flocke tells Jack that he could kill everyone of them right now, but he doesn't because he wants them to get off the island. He is a lying liar who lies!!!!
The power goes down at the Hydra camp where Widmore is. A brief aside for a small nitpick..Why didn't they have someone guarding the generator? And if they did and Sayid killed them, why didn't we see that? Not a HUGE deal, but still.
Anywjo, the power goes off at the Hydra camp, and we start to hear the familiar click that means Smokey is coming...Hurley: "And we're dead."
But Jack shows up and lets them out, saying "I'm with Him", and gesturing towards Smokey.They run and meet up with Sayid.
Locke goes to the plane and kills the people guarding it, and takes something off of the plane- C4. Widmore was going to blow up the plane.Flocke theorizes that Widmore wanted to get "everyone into a confined space" and kill them all by blowing them up. he thinks the sub is now the safer way to leave.
I was thinking that the c-4 was Widmore's "last defense". If Flocke managed to get on the plane, it would blow up.
They all head to the sub, Sawyer pulls Jack aside and asks him to keep Flocke off the sub. Jack says he'll do what he can. They get to the sub, Sawyer leads the first group, and they reach it easily( a little TOO easily for my taste).The rest go in a second group, and Jack and Locke bring up the rear. Locke hands Jack a back pack(and I swear, I said to My Special Lady-"Did Flocke just give him the bomb?")
As Flocke and Jack are walking to the sub, Flocke asks Jack why he feels he needs to stay on the Island, and Jack says, "John Locke told me I needed to stay" and then he pushes Flocke into the water. Kate gets shot by Widmore's snipers, and then Flocke and Claire get left on the dock. Flocke tells Claire that she doesn't want to be on that sub. the sub begins diving.
Jack finds the bomb in his pack("We did exactly what he wanted us to."), and tries to convince everyone that they need to leave it alone, that they will not die(just like Jack and Richard in the Black Rock with the dynamite), because Flocke can't kill them, but he wants them to kill each other. sawyer doesn't listen, and pulls the wires, which speeds up the bomb, and makes it so that Sawyer is actually the one killing them all.
Sayid then tells Jack that Desmond is in a well, and that Flocke wants him dead, which means that they will need him. Jack says"Why are you telling me this?" And Sayid answers: "Because it's going to be you, Jack." and grabs the bomb and runs away.
The bomb detonates, Lapidus gets hit by the door and some water, but I'm guessing we might see him again, simply because we didn't actually see him die.
Hurley gets Kate out. Sun is trapped. Jin, Jack and sawyer try to save her, Sawyer gets knocked out, and then Jack gets Sawyer out. Jin continues to try and free Sun, but he cannot. She implores him to go, but he says he won't leave her again. And they both go down with the sub.
Jack, Hurley, Kate and Sawyer all end up on the beach. Kate hugs Jack and keeps repeating that she couldn't find him. Hurley finds out about Jin and Sun, and breaks down, as does Jack. Sawyer is still pretty unconscious.
Flocke tells Claire that the sub sunk. Claire:"So, they're all dead?"
Flocke(disgustedly)"Not all of them." he walsk off.
Claire:"Where are you going?"
Flocke:"To finish what I started." YIKES!!!!!!
Okay, so now we know without a doubt that Flocke/MIB is EVIL. the only question is if Widmore and Flocke could still be working together. I kinda doubt it, but I cannot rule it out either. And where are Miles, Alpert and Ben?
I will admit that I teared up a bit when Sayid went all Anakin/Darth Vader on the bomb AND when Jin and Sun died.
LOST is really bringing it so far this season. Pretty damn excited(and sad) for the last four and a half hours( apparently, an extra half hour has been added to the series Finale).

LOST 6.13- The Last Recruit
Spoiler Alert...The Bacon has gone bad! Again, the bacon has gone bad!
Well,well, well...Things seem to be unraveling for our Flocke now, don't they?
All over the place, thing seem top be moving rather fast.
Island first...Flocke wants to speak to Jack alone. This points to one of my main reasons for thinking that Flocke is a bad guy...He always wants to talk to people "alone". It seems that he doesn't want anyone to have all the information.That seems like a bad thing to me.
Anyway, Jack and Flocke have a talk(BTW, I very much liked Jack asking Hurley if it was okay to talk to Locke alone);
Jack: Why John Locke ?
Flocke- "Because he was stupid enough to believe he was brought here for a reason.Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were nice enough to bring his body back in a nice wooden box"
OUCH. Poor Locke.Okay, John Locke has to be redeemed at some point, doesn't he? Can they really just be this cruel to him?
Then we find out that the MIB was appearing as Christian in order to help Jack find water and manipulate Claire.
Tells Jack that they all have to leave together. I still would like someone to ask him a follow-up question on that.WHY do they ALL have to leave? Nobody has asked that, have they? I understand that for getting the Oceanic 6 back to the Island they had to try and recreate the original flight(though I question the logic of that a bit, and I think we need to find out about Eloise Hawking allegiances before we know that that was, in fact, true), but why do they all need to leave together?
Flocke also says that Locke was not a believer, he was a sucker. Ouch again.
Claire tells Jack that he decided he was with Flocke as soon as he let Flocke talk to him. I don't buy that, but perhaps is that why Widmore turned on the people on the beach at the end? Are they all "infected" by Flocke? But then wouldn't Widmore be as well?
Sawyer tells Hurley that Sayid has gone "to the Dark Side" and Hurley makes an Anakin Skywalker reference about bringing people back from the dark side....Hmmmm...Does this mean something?
Zoe and the Sub Bunch show up and blow up some trees to show how tough they are(GHurley's line of "People trying to kill us again" when asked what was up was priceless), and demand that Flocke return what he took from them, or they will get more of the same, but worse. Locke destroys the walkie-talkie Zoe gives him, indicating he has no intention of returning Desmond.
he then makes himself out to be the victim, saying that they are "Claiming we stole something from them."
He's a lying liar who lies!! he tells everyone that they are going to Hydra Island. He sends Sawyer to go get the boat, and Sayid to go kill Desmond.
Sawyer takes Kate with him, and tells Jack to bring Hurley, Sun and Lapidus to meet them. Jack asks about Sayid and Claire, Sawyer responds" Sayid's a zombie and Claire's NUTS." AWESOME line.
Sayid goes to kill Desmond. Desmond asks Sayid what Flocke offered him.Desmond then asks what Sayid will tell Nadia when they are reunited.
Flocke goes back to check on Sayid, Jack takes the opportunity to take his folks and go. Claire sees them and follows. Kate allows Claire onto the boat. Claire says when Flocke finds out.. "He's gonna be mad."
Flocke finds Sayid, and Sayid says he killed Desmond...What do you think ? I don't think he did it. Fro one, we didn't see it happen, and the first rule of tee vee is, if you didn't SEE it happen, you don't KNOW that it actually happened. Plus, did Sayid seem a little different when talking to Flocke? I thought he seemed a bit different...Perhaps a little more lively?
On the boat, Jack doubts what they are doing and Sawyer tells him to get off the boat if he's not with them.Jack jumps into the water.
jack and Locke are reunited on the beach.
When the Boaties get to shore, they are greeted by Zoe and the Sub Bunch. JIN AND SUN GET REUNITED!!!!!!!!!!! And Sun gets her voice back.
THEN, Zoe gets th order from Widmore to take them all into custody. And they order the air strike on Flocke----AND JACK!!! Flocke saves Jack and says.."It's alright. You're with me now." DUN-DUN!!!!
A/R-
Locke wakes up in the ambulance and says he was supposed to marry Helen Norwood,and that his first name is John. Sun is riding along on the gurney next to him, and she says-"No! No! It's him!!" Which I'm guessing is a bleed over from island world.
Sawyer thinks that he and Kate seem fated, Kate correctly guesses that Sawyer didn't arrest her at the airport because he didn't want to explain why he was at the airport. Kate once again proclaims her innocence, which she did not do in the regular reality, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think she ever said she was innocent...So could she actually be innocent in the A/R?
Sawyer and Miles go and arrest Sayid for the murders at the restaurant.
Desmond just "happens" to run into Claire as she is going to the adoption agency, and convinces her to have legal representation.He brings her to a lawyer on the (gasp) 15th floor!! That lawyer turns out to be(gasp) Ilana!! Who has been looking for Claire(gasp)!! She has been looking for Claire because she is going to be reading Christian's will.. Jack and Claire meet and find out that they are brother and sister.
Jack gets called to the hospital to operate on....JOHN LOCKE!!!
And Jin and Sun and the baby are fine!!!
Alright...What did I miss? What do you guys think? Did Sayid kill Desmond?
Well,well, well...Things seem to be unraveling for our Flocke now, don't they?
All over the place, thing seem top be moving rather fast.
Island first...Flocke wants to speak to Jack alone. This points to one of my main reasons for thinking that Flocke is a bad guy...He always wants to talk to people "alone". It seems that he doesn't want anyone to have all the information.That seems like a bad thing to me.
Anyway, Jack and Flocke have a talk(BTW, I very much liked Jack asking Hurley if it was okay to talk to Locke alone);
Jack: Why John Locke ?
Flocke- "Because he was stupid enough to believe he was brought here for a reason.Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were nice enough to bring his body back in a nice wooden box"
OUCH. Poor Locke.Okay, John Locke has to be redeemed at some point, doesn't he? Can they really just be this cruel to him?

LOST 6.12 Everybody Loves Hugo
Spoiler Alert...Blah blah blah
Wow. Another great episode...I must admit, I'm a sap for Hugo and Libby as a couple, too.You can definitely count me among the "everybody' that loves Hugo.
And I want to take a moment to give a shout out to Jorge Garcia...He is sooo good at capturing the humor and the heartbreak of Hugo. It's nice to see him emerging as the leader of this group,too.
Okay, enough of that. we got one of the BIG ANSWERS last night...We now officially know what the Whispers are...They are the spirits of those who cannot "cross over".The only question I have there is this: Is it the Island that is keeping them there, or is it something else? I assume it's the Island, but there seems to be some room for theological debate there.Not that I care to have a theological debate about it...I'm just saying, is all.
Let's do the Island first....
The ghost of Michael appears and tells Hugo that he needs to keep a lot of people from dying.He tries to talk Richard and Ilana out of blowing up the plane.His logic, after Ilana says that if they destroy the plane, Flocke will not be able to leave the Island, that "Neither will we,and then we'll be stuck here with it, and it'll be angry at us.", was fantastic. That didn't work. Then Ilana blew up. Yikes!I gotta be honest, I figured that she would die, I just figured it would be a few episodes from now. Ilana blowing up did not convince Richard. Jack's line that "maybe Ilana blew up to tell us to stop messing with the dynamite" was classic.
Hugo then acquiesces to Richard and they all go to the Black Rock, which Hugo blows up because he is protecting everyone.
He then claims that Jacob told them that they need to go talk to Locke.Richard doesn't believe him, and Richard, Ben and Miles go to the Dharmaville to get grenades. Jack, Sun,and Lapidus follow Hugo to go see Flocke.
I also really liked Jack's admission about not ever being able to fix it.I thought that was well played. I ahve always liked jack, but if any of you folks are among the Jack haters, did this make him any mor palatable to you?
Flocke, in the meantime, walks Desmond out to a well, and after waxing philosophic about Widmore's intentions, pushes Desmond into the well. A move, by the way, that Jen saw as soon as she saw the well. I could not tell if Flocke now knows of Widmore's plan because of what Desmond said or not.Of course, we don't necessarily know what Widmore's plan is either, I'm just assuming he wants to capture Flocke.Because, while I do believe that Widmore just wants power, I also think he wants to keep Flocke on the Island.
And obviously, Flocke pushing Desmond into the well implies that Desmond is some sort of threat to Flocke, for sure. I also wonder if that move(or any other violence towards Desmond) could be where Flocke's followers start to really question his motives.
I also found the smile on the ghost kid after Flocke gets all flustered and yells for Desmond to "IGNORE HIM!!!" was pretty interesting. The Ghost Kid is getting under his skin. Could he be part of the reason that Flocke is confined to the Island in the first place? Hmmm.....
Hugo,Jack, Sun and Lapidus go to see Flocke and Flockees. They all agree to a truce, for the moment anyway. Flocke gives Hugo his "word".
My only fear in this is that these are the exact people that Flocke needed. I fear he may be manipulating all this somehow.
One other great, small moment was Sun's face when she sees that Jin is not there...Such resignation, it was so sad.
In the A/R. We see Dr. Pierre Chang/Dr. Marvin Candle give a speech about Hugo's great philanthropy and give him an award, and then we see Hugos' mom cut him back down to size.But she sets up Hugo on a blind date, and who speaks to him at the restaurant? LIBBY!!! I loves me some Libby, and it was nice to see her again.
She then asks Hugo if he believes that two people can be meant to be together.Then she says"You don't remember me, do you?" I actually gasped, when she said it. then she goes on to tell him about the plane crash and their attraction to each other. The Dr. Brooks comes over and gets her, and loads her back into the van to go back to the mental institution where Hugo and she had both been in the pre-Island world.
Desmond "happens" to run into Hugo and asks him if he believed Libby, and Hugo said yes.Hugo decides to go and see Libby at the hospital, and then bribes his way into see her.
She tells him some more about her deja vu esque type feelings, and he asks her out. they go to have a picnic on the beach, Libby once again tells Hugo that he is "doing fine". they kiss, and Hugo begins to remember the Island. we see Desmond drive away, clearly imlpying that he is manipulating a lot of this action.
Then, we see Desmond sitting outside the school where Ben and Locke work. he tells ben taht he's scouting the school for his son, Charlie. Hmmmmm.... the n he proceeds to run Locke over with his car. Maybe the best LOST ending ever. Just batshit crazy!!
After last night's episode, my wife and I were talking about how we think that maybe when Widmore tested the electromagnetic pulse thing on Desmond, he teleported Desmond's Island "conciousness" to his Alternate Reality body, and vice versa, and that is why the A/R Desmond is now slowly unweaving the alternate reality by "showing" people the cracks in it, and why the Island Desmond is so willing to go with the flow, he knows what the A/R Desmond is doing(even if we don't fully know). Did Widmore know that this would happen?
Okay, that's what I got. What did I miss? What did y'all think?

LOST 6.11:"Happily Ever After"
Spoiler Alert.......Blah....Blah....Blah....Blah.....Blah....blah.......
Wow, I think maybe I'm just too dumb for LOST.Last night's episode is the first one in awhile that I feel i need to watch again to figure out exactly what I was supposed to get from it. I kinda feel like the show itself right now, part of me thinks he knows what was revealed last night, and then my alternate reality doesn't quite get it...Or maybe it's vice versa. I don't know...Or do I? No, I definitely don't...Or do I? Nope, still pretty sure I don't.
Now, don't get me wrong, I loved last night's episode(even though Charlie was in it), I'm just not sure that I fully grasp what Desmond seemed to grasp.
But let's see....Based on Daniel WIDMORE'S statements to Desmond, when Jughead was set off on the Island, this reality(what we see as the "alternate" or sideways reality) was created.And according to Daniel, it "shouldn't be".
And now, some people are having these "visions" of what went on in the other reality...Charlie saw a vision of Claire(I'm guesssing), Daniel felt like he already knew Charlotte, and Desmond saw the freakiest thing of all, he saw Charlie's death and Charlie's warning about the folks on the freighter. Presumably, the other Losties have had these same moments, they just are not sure what they are yet.
Mrs. Widmore(Eloise) seemed all too aware of all of this, and doesn't seem to want this reality disturbed(presumably because Daniel is still alive?), or does she just want to keep Desmond away from Penny?
Now, on the Island, we learn that Desmond is there because he survived a "catastrophic electromagnetic event", and Widmore needs him to do that again(or two more times, if you include the test from last night). I'm guessing that Desmond is going to be called upon to lure and trap the MIB inside that chamber, and that will either be the way to re trap the MIB or destroy him.
I'm not sure I understand why he was so willing to follow Sayid, though. He seemed almost like he was in a trance, didn't he? I'm note sure I get why that is. Is he just completely surrendering to fate? whatever happens, happens? I'll be curious to see if Locke has a use for him, or if he just wants to keep him away from Widmore, or have him killed.
I don't know about you, but i was pretty freaked out(in a GREAT way) when Desmond saw NOT PENNYS BOAT on Charlie's hand. I think I might have gasped. VERY cool.
Loved seeing Eloise and Daniel again.
Loved some of the phrasing, Eloise saying"It's about TIME".
Desmond asking Charlie: "Is none of this real?"
"Always a choice, brother"
the MRI guy giving Desomd "The BUTTON". Ha!!
Widmore sharing the good Scotch with Desmond.
The other line I thought was potentially very revealing was Mrs. Widmore saying(and I'm paraphrasing, my note taking was off it's game last night) to Desomnd in the A/R:" You finally attained what you always wanted, my husband's approval." isd that a glimpse into what the A/R reality is providing our "heroes" with?
I think that's all I got...What did I miss ? What did you guys think?
