Refer to "lost." thread.
I'll be watching it tomorrow evening, I suspect.
I remember Evangeline Lilly said that they will be making their biggest reveal at the end of this season. I sure hope so...but I don't have really high hopes since there's no point.

As a casual but loyal fan- I'll say...
*That* was the way to end a season.

it was all great up until the last revelation. sigh. so they DO get off the island, and their lives turn to soap opera drama shit (jack + kate).
desmond saw claire getting into a helicopter also. meaning...a bunch of people are getting off the island. for sure. and im sure Ben is the guy in the coffin (not a friend, and not family).
sooo now.. jesus christ, i was wondering how they could hold up 3 more seasons of this after killing off so many Others. theres like 10 others left..wtf.
im betting the last seasons dont even take place on the island, but just the characters going on their stupid way in the real world. sigh.

one of the best season finales i've seen in quite awhile.

i think charlie could have got out pretty easily.
i don't know what to make of the ending, i don't know what i was expecting...
i think locke is a total puss.

The thoughts I'm reading on another message board are that the funeral was for Locke.
A few people have suggested that, because Locke had no family and no real friends back in the real world, perhaps he killed himself. Jack knew that Locke didn't want to leave the island - he was happy there and connected to it - and Jack felt guilty for doing things that got the rescued.
Very interesting theory.
I also thought that Charlie could have escaped out that window very easily.
But I think he realized that his destiny did in fact arrive as Desmond had said it would. I think he was content with his fate and realized he was at the end.
On a side note, damn, I have a song I wrote about 4 years ago that's about the same thing, but in space, about being content with fate and the end of your life. Weird.

However, as I continue reading these posts, someone pointed out that the funeral was in a black neighborhood, and that they made a point of showing that. Perhaps Michael or Walt? Kate hated Michael if I remember, maybe they found out about him when they were back in the US, and he dies somehow.

maybe that was walt, he's definitely black and he's definitely a central part in the island's mystique

WELL DAMNIT...
... now what?...
... really cool though how we weren't looking at flashbacks... but flash-forwards!!!
Did anyone else just feel... GREAT! when Jack unloaded a crate of fists on Ben's noggin?
I know that's harsh... but they build you to hate Ben so well... very good acting and writing - you're left intrigued with the man (Ben)... yet hating him... yet... not wanting him dead...
... yet wanting him to absorb the fleshly pummeling that which is 'Jack's inflamed sense of rejection'...
... I took you down a lil Fight Club path right there... you like that.. don't you! :)

all i can say was wow...

Yeah, so uh,
is season 3 worth downloading?I phased out after the 2nd one.
Casual, not so loyal.
Will the time glued to the teve be worth it?

actually I didn't watch the whole season but only last 4 episodes and still continue. but the matter of the fact is, this finale was really hot omg!!!!!! and jack is the biggest retard I have seen.

*spoilers
hat was just too good for a tv series...
I really like they way they tackle it so it's not just about if the get of the island or not, because that could only have leaded to a very anticlimatic ending.
very curious to find out why jack went so insanse after leaving the island and how it all came about. defenitely not about the twists anymore, the drama aspect gets better and better in my opinion and that's the real reason to watch, regardless of what big trick they'll pull at the end.
....seems like they're heading into some dark depressive shit and it's really good to know that they decided to only make 3 more season with 16 episodes per season to tell this right.
anyways, my tiny hairs haven't stood up that straight for a long time and I watch a lot of films.
- RobotGunslinger0
oh and anyone who thinks that heroes can even hold a candle to lost after watching both finals has to be batshit insane
- tyranisus0
All I know is future Kate is even hotter.

whoever died was important enough to have a obit on the front page of a newspaper. I can't think of who that would be... And I like the whole funeral that no one shows up to. Who would organize a funeral and not show up?
I don't think we have seen the end of the island - with Jack all "we have to go back." It seems the island still holds a lot of mysteries - something that needs to be guarded or kept intact. I'm thinking Ben isn't all that bad of a guy.

I stopped watching back in February. It's great to see that it saved me a lot of time.

I only just watched the finale, and spoilers were everywhere right after it was finished. For example, I kept waking up at random times during the night because it's so hot over here, and even the conservative radio station here talked about the endings of American Idol and Lost at 4AM. The radio personality described the main points in detail! So I had to actually move to shut the damn radio off so that I couldn't hear it.
- You can't really compare "Heroes" with "Lost". The season finale of "Lost" was amazing, but "Heroes" had a stronger season throughout, whereas "Lost" was only good in the last half. The dialogue on "Heroes" is pretty cheesy though. "Lost" also has more experienced/known writers.
----------------------------
Flashforward thing
----------------------------The flashforward scenes were super cool, but unfortunately that damn radio woman gave that away and I couldn't avoid listening to the first part because I was so sleepy and couldn't move to turn it off!
- Also, someone on the boards mentioned that the island scenes were actually the flashback, and therefore there were no flashforward scenes.
- However, the funeral parlor had the name "Hoffs/Drawlar", which is an anagram for "flash forward".
----------------------------
Characters
----------------------------JACK / KATE: Ugh. I just can't get myself to like Jack. He was hot with the facial hair, but...I thought I would finally like him, but after seeing more (!!) of his angsty self in the flashforwards, I am kind of disgusted. Even Kate has moved on! That's hella weird, seeing as how she's all angsty on the island as well. I used to really like her but she's become so annoying. Angsty like Jack all the time, pining away for him.
Anyway, obviously both have shit lives in the future. I wonder if Kate gets with Sawyer? Or if that's someone else...
Basically, I think Jack is a necessary character but he's so damn tortured it's sickening. And for once I thought he was finally doing the right thing by standing up for himself when Ben was threatening him! Looks like that doesn't turn out well. Damn.
CHARLIE / DESMOND: I agree with mg. While he could've saved himself, he just "felt" that it was the right time to go. Making Claire and her child happy and safe was the only thing he wanted in the end. Too bad the baby never got his ring :( At least the writers didn't cop out and allow him to live.
He and Desmond had a nice friendship. Seeing Penny at the end was a nice touch, but I saw that coming since the actress's name was revealed in the beginning credits.
Poor Claire. I hope she finds out about her relation to Jack sometime next season. They have like nothing in common. But I have a feeling that Jack never finds out, since he is all alone in the flash forward. Or he could've driven her off, which is entirely possibly given his personality and anger issues.
SAWYER: I hope he's more of himself again next season. He has to cleanse himself of all the angst of killing his arch nemesis.
JULIET: I liked seeing her doing more weird, yet noble things. Still creepy sometimes though. I like her for some weird reason.
SAYID: One of the best parts was when he snapped that dude's neck. He's cool.
ROUSSEAU: I LOLed when she asked her daughter (Alex) to help tie up her father (Ben). Good casting with getting Alex to look like her fake mommy. I used to like that girl when she was on children's shows, heh.
LOCKE: I still don't get him, besides the fact that he may still be religious (although he never talks about it anymore). Walt's all grow'd up!
HURLEY: awww
NAOMI: wtf?
----------------------------
Funeral
----------------------------I have no clue as to who was in that coffin. I was hoping they'd reveal it, but we'll have to wait until...oh wait....we may never know! Unless they do more flashforwards.
This is what I found on boards:
During the opening scene of "...Looking Glass" Jack tears out an article from a Los Angeles newspaper. Later outside the Funeral Parlor he reads it. This is what could be determined:
'Los Angeles (Heading)
Man found dead in downtown loft (subheading)
The body of Jo*****antham of New York was found shorty after 4 a.m. in the ******** of Grand Avenue. '
