Ok so as the sadness wears away, the end of an era, an epic show, a TV phenomenon I cant help but be annoyed, befuddled and feeling a bit cheated.
I really really had my hopes that there would be MORE answers!
Dont get me wrong, the very very ending when Jack and his Dad were in the back of the church and Jack was coming to the realization of death was a beautiful idea of what happens when we pass on. I really did she a tear with the idea of your loved ones that were an impacting part of your life being WITH you as you continue your transition to heaven. It was also pretty sad just that it was over and to have all the characters in one place.
What i DID understand and LOVE about the tail end of the finale was how they got each other to remember and each "survivors" character kind of came full circle by "replaying" vital moments in their lives in the flashsideways
speaking of flashsideways: WTF!!!!!!!!!!! anyone want to explain to me the meaning/reference/representation...WHAT IT ALL MEANS?!
The whole 2.5hrs was also very action packed, but as the minutes ticked away, I just kept saying to myself "ummm ok...wait, what?!"
I kept trying to piece what we learned tonight to the last 6 seasons, but to know avail. I really am very confused as to what the overall story is.
also...there was alot of speculation about the very ending with Matthew Fox's death...and I have been up late arguing this with Justin:
What is the meaning of Jack laying in the jungle watching a plane fly by and out of nowhere VINCENT (the dog) comes and lays beside him!
anyone with any good clear concise, 1+1=2 answers PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
...or better yet the light in the middle of the island, at the end of the river :) WHATEVER....
ANYWAAAAY
FINALLY some answers! We finally find out why Jacob brought them there and their "purpose" or "prerequisites" for becoming a candidate. They had an emptyness, a sad existence in their lives. And now we know why some were crossed off. Now im going to try to fall asleep thinking of why each person was crossed off. Kate was explained because she became a Mother (admittance: i drew a tear on that one!) It is still a shame and am still curious like Kate was about why most of them then had to die?!? Was it to make good tv, was it because at the very end before they died they had fullfilment of some magnitude? (sorry i cant come up with an example of that at the moment - can anyone?
I KNEW Jack would totally step up to be the Protector. And although Sawyer was trying to be snarky, he hit the nail on the head with Jack's "God Complex". Is anyone else curious about the epiphany look that jack gave jacob after he drank from the cup? And now Jack is just like Jacob (im assuming this means he will not age and cant be killed)
I am very curious as to how they are going to explain the way that the Smoke Monster can be killed/defeated! Although he is not REALLY the bad guy, I have really come to like the complexity of LOCKE, his journey and his overall character.
The flashsideways has now become really really interesting? So what, now Hurley and Desmond know whats going on? We know that Desmond, Hurley, Kate, Sayid, Miles, and Jack will be at this concert. Miles' dad also has something to do with it, and since he is that freaky Dharma Initiative Scientist I wonder if they are going to somehow be beamed to the island? Or all mysteriously remember the other life. *i heard a rumor that there would be a scene (well now its obvious its during the finale) that EVERY character since the beginning would be in one scene. Now im thinking it will be at this concert!
Does Hurley know everything that is going on? He knew Anna-Lucia right off! (p.s i loved anna lucia, the writers of this show had to do some hell of a storyline tweak when she was arrested back in 2005!)
WHO IS JACK'S SON'S MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? Juliet? Anna-Lucia? That australian chick that helped them get connected with the freighter?
I cant wait til sunday, but i know it will be bitter-sweet. I also was disappointed that since i DVR'd LOST i was too late to text a "farewell message" to be played during the finale. But then again that maybe a good thing because then Id be looking for my message instead of paying attention.
Ok so there wasnt much insight tonight because, well, we had a bunch of stuff answered. So i guess we could just open this up to opinions and our own "farewell" messages to LOST!
oh...::sniff-sniff:: what are we gonna blog about next week? :(
it makes me sad that I didnt create this blog seasons ago...well it was fun while it lasted!
happy posting!

WOW!
I will turn all your attentions to my previous blogs where, yes folks, you heard it first from my clarevoyance! ::does the i told you so dance:: It has become a meaning of perspective. For 6 years we have seen it one way, through the eyes of Jacob "the good side". This good-side being the dictator and the one we must not even question has been telling us the otherside is bad. But what of the M.I.B's story. What if he was made out to be bad so that no one helps him out. (Its very similar to the story of Elphaba if any of you have seen WICKED. And if you havent you SHOULD) She wasnt really bad, but because she was green and dressed in dark clothing she was ostrasized. Moral: is someone born bad or just turned bad is some way. With Jacob and the MIB he genuinely just wants to go back to where he "came from" because he doesnt "belong". Sound familiar? Jack has been singing a similar tune up until he finally left in season 4.
THEY ARE TWINS!!!! I totally did not see that coming. But does shed some light on why their "mother" made it so they "cant hurt each other". This notion we may have taken too literally all this time. Maybe she meant this because they are brothers. Think about it, could you really kill/hurt your own sibling? I know I couldnt...so maybe the "loophole" the MIB has previously referred to is because neither of them could bring themselves to actually physically hurt each other because there is so much history between them.
How is it though that Jacob is able to be virtually ageless, like Richard Alpert?
Is it because of the promise he made when he drank the cup? Then where did he get his special powers (making Richard immortal, showing himself to Hurley etc)?
Was his accepting the wine a play on communion? Possible. He accepted an offering in exchange for a righteous promise.
What makes the MIB "Special"? His "mother" thought that he would inherit this job of watching the light, til the MIB rebelled. Did she think the MIB would be sort of the Prodigal Son? (read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Prodigal_Son)
If you notice some of the factors that make MIB "special" we saw is that he:
-can see and talk to the dead (like Hurley)
-(kind of) "sees" things. He knew how to play the game, and knows his Wheel creation will work (similar to Desmond, kinda sorta?)
twist of irony: When you really weigh out their differences; Jacob is the one who is easily "corrupted" - although up until today we thought he was calling all the shots. And last night were shown the parallel. Jacob's fake-mom was "keeping him good" for all we know she could be a looney and thus corrupting him.
I looked up the meaning of light because i was really curious about this strange golden orb in the brook,...in the middle of the jungle. It comes from Matthew 5:16: let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven."
I cant wrap my finger around if/how this translates to any meaning in LOST or last nights episode so I throw it out to you guys and see what you make of it.
PHEW im drained and may go watch it again to see if I missed anything...
*P.s sorry i didnt post by midnight...i was exhausted and had little time left before the baby woke up for his next feeding!

And end to an era approaches
Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
I am so destraught by the Titanic-esque demise of my beloved Kwons that all my clever observations that I was making note of while I was watching has disolved quickly into the used tissues piled up during the episode.
I cant believe that by the end of this month LOST will be OVER....OVER. O-V-E-R!?
*on one note, just to nitpick (Kelly and K-10) will agree with me:
Claire moved WAAAAAY to easily and effortlessly considering she is supposed to be like 8.5 months pregnant! Next time she plays a pregnant woman she should really work on the preggo-waddle and do some better acting! Haha! ;-)
I am going to watch the episode again tomorrow morning with Justin, and usually when I watch it again I find lots of little clues and interesting "sights"
However, I completely encourage all of you to vent your remorse, spill your condolences for the Kwons, and if you managed to gain any insight aside from experiencing SUCH a loss...PLEASE, PLEASE post!

Reunited and it feels soo goooood...
So it would seem we atleast have been privy to ONE answer. Jack's dad; Christian Shephard was really then the Smoke Monster taking his form. To his defense it was so they could find water? Possible? Again - what if this Smoke-Locke is NOT a bad guy...it may be about perspective.
Just to backtrack: Anyone have any clue as to who the Little Boy was in last weeks episode?
Most importantly....SUN & JIN!!!!!!! FINALLY! I definitely went through a tissue or two. Its about damn time. I was hoping however they would have done that "hazy=slo-mo reunion thing" but it was still moving. And both Kwons...STILL wearing the pearly white clothing. I have a feeling that this is not a coincidence. Maybe neither of them have been tainted with evil.
Ummm also, am i the only sick-o who expected them to be zapped by the gavel-looking fence thing on the beach?!
In the scene before the anticipated reunion, we see the Kwons in the hospital and everything for ALL of them was going to "be okay". Is this the cause or the effect of Island life.
The concept of Cause & Effect has become a key theme to me, especially in tonights episode. Maybe this is the turning of the tide. Going from "finding your true love" (trite) to somehow trying to figure out which world is the cause to the effect. In other words is the flashsideways the "cause" or the "effect" of the island life.
I love how it is (and i use this term heavily) slightly coming together. We see the chosen 6 all somehow come together and intertwine in the flashsideways: Sayid - Miles & Sawyer : Sawyer - Kate : Desmond - Claire & Ilana : Jack - Claire, Ilana, Locke...etc etc
(I was watching some episodes from Season 5 with Schwimmer a few weeks back and noticed that when we first meet Ilana she has an irritatingly fake accent, and now she doesnt - AT ALL. It makes me wonder, did they phase out the accent because it was so god-awful or because it was part of her undercover persona?)
Im not sure if i missed it or not... Did sayid really shoot desmond? Is he really dead or are we left up in the air to guess?
Who the hell is Jack's wife in the alternate-life?!?!?! Its killing me!!!!
Is it safe to say that Desmond is now sort of the facilitator of fate? Too bad he isnt one of the candidates. That would really be the gum on his shoe if that were to happen.
*Small easter egg: The numbers popped up again in tonights episode. The building claire was entering was "48" and she was going to the "15th" floor
And ive been saying that Whidmore would renig on his promise...bastard!
Thats all I have really, my apologies for this not being all that clever...im confused!
P.S. I am starting the pool now: Who will end up being Jacob's replacement? Anyone care to make as assumption?
I feel its too obvious but Im going to say Jack since he has made the biggest change. And the show pretty much focused around him since the beginning. I wont be super thrilled if this is how it ends, but thats my feeling as of this point.
Happy Posting!

Hugo's the Boss?
I dont really have much to analyze and pick apart tonight because...well basically I was blown away by the episode (no pun intended considering all the dynamite set off!)
I will say that I was happy to see the "Bizzaro" world alternative for Hurley. This weeks episode title couldnt have been more dead on: "Everyone Loves Hurly". It was good to see Libby again, and in this alternate life, they got to have their first date unlike the unfortunate outcome in season 2. On that note, I thought it was a funny twist that in this flashsideways world, Hurley asked out Libby...whereas on the island she asked him out to which he responded "you mean...like a date?" CUTE!
I see (a little bit) where this is going, as I have been saying the survivors somehow in someway are replaying in their Flashsideways what has happened in their previous life (i.e. when we see hurley sitting in the Psych Rec room - VERY similar to when we saw this same scene a few seasons back. I dont think that was coincidence)
I fear that the show is taking a strange and trite turn. Since last week the show has alluded to the idea that our Survivors are looking for "love" in order to make their worlds mesh. Im not really 100% supportive of this theory, but its one that i've heard tossed around recently a few times. If the show ends with an emphasis on searching for your "true love", i will be disappointed.( Shocking, i know, since you all know I'm a sucker for cheesy-over the moon-sappy-love stories )
The closer we get to the end, the more we are being served of new information and connections. Am i the only one not being able to fuse all these connections IF they exist? 4 episodes left people!! And every tuesday night, i ask myself: "how the hell are they going to wrap this up?!!?"
What I can gather so far is that now desmond is the ringleader on the mainland and Hurley is the new "protector" on the island.
*(Athena this is especially for you)Did you notice: in the "scenes for next week" snipit the background "music" was the crazy-schizo monologue that Willy Wonka recites while on the Wonkatania when they go through the Tunnel of CREEPY?!?!?! I thought that was fitting. The writers not only have great taste in classic movies but have a sense of humor as well.
JOhn Locke's hit-and-run was the nail in the coffin of my confusion because he didnt have a flashBACK; which i assume is what Desmond was trying to do. Anyone with some goodies from tonights episodes, im dying to hear! Because im practically the mayor of Confusedville at the moment.
