That theory in the Lostpedia link is pretty good. The finale rocked. i was glued to it the whole time (well, ok, the whole Jack/Kate talk at the end dragged a bit and i wanted to fast forward, but otherwise)
So the things that i liked that stuck out:
- Vincent, Bernard and Rose: that was just great. The way they treated Sawyer/Kate/Juliet like visiting relatives that always fuck up the place was hilarious. Bernard's offer to Juliet for tea was interesting. As if he knew something. Can almost guarantee that comes up in some way again
- Juliet changes her mind: i think this is the one time i laughed out loud (man i wish there were an abbreviation for that phrase). How stereotypically female it is to have the guy go thru all this shit, hijack a sub, walk five miles, stop a van, beat the crap out of a guy and then say "Ya know, i think i want it the other way instead". Its the moving furniture and hanging paintings paradigm times 50.
- Filthy Phil gets it: So incredibly satisfying to see a character you despise die in such a violent wayi was kinda dismayed to find out that the Locke i've been enjoying since he returned to the island isn't really Locke and that he's just a puppet. But, as i read in an article on darkufo, i don't think you can count Locke out quite yet; that there's a bit of Locke still left in that spirit.
It could go a number of ways from here. i don't think they'll be blown back to before the crash because that would kinda invalidate the 2007 timeline with the shadow-statue people and Jacob's nemesis. So maybe they go back to 2007 and help defeat the nemesis. How do they do this? By joining Bram in being the "Good Guys". The conflict between Jacob and Nemesis that they intro'd with was that man is inherintly destructive and nothing will change that. Jacob's point (that this is not true) will only be proven when the people on the island work for good rather than for themselves or some malevolent purpose.
But, in short, i have no idea what's in store for the last season. They've got a lot of lose ends i'd like to see tied up (Blackrock specifics, Richard's story, Claire/Aaron, Desmond, etc) and only 17 or so episodes to do it in.
- Totally agree about the tea thing and the "relatives that always fuck up the place" LOLjuhls
- With the tea scene, Juliet paused for just enough time that it was a bit uncomfortable and weird for the viewer as well.juhls
- I do find it interesting that all the men here believe that actions matter over emotions. I'm not even an emotional person, and Ijuhls
- know a guy would be equally upset about what Sawyer kept doing when Kate was around (not that Juliet wasn't wrong as well).juhls
- well) in her weird action at that moment.juhls

- Nevermind, my notes are weirdly cut off depending on the computer I use, arrrgghhjuhls
