I have a theory. I reckon it was the Smoke Monster that brought down Oceanic Flight 815.
And it has a name... Eyjafjallajökull. |

That was a pretty good episode, but not quite up to the standard of the last three or four. After some genuine forward momentum recently it was more of an opportunity to get characters where they need to be for the finale. Also, no Ben (other than Alterna-Ben) or Richard.I did really like Sun and Jin finally being reunited after three seasons apart. I've always liked them as characters and their arc has been the most emotionally involving for me (with the possible exception of Desmond and Penny's). Lost always does reunions well, and the understatement of those two characters coming back together was well played.

I had a weird dream after watching Lost at the weekend, that the Polar bear slaughtered everyone on the island and it ended with him sitting on the beach. In my head that's a good ending. |

You're right about Lost's reunions, and Sun & Jin's was lovely - I got rather a lump in my throat, amplified somewhat as it cut to Sawyer's reaction. I had a weird dream after watching Lost at the weekend, that the Polar bear slaughtered everyone on the island and it ended with him sitting on the beach. Heheh. With a can of Coke. Is that St. Lostwhere enough for you, Ed? |

It's good, but I think it'd be better if, as it sat there, the polar bear reached up, undid its zip, and revealed itself to be Walt.

Heheh. With a can of Coke. Is that St. Lostwhere enough for you, Ed? Heehee. The little polar bear saunters up to him and gets eaten too. It's good, but I think it'd be better if, as it sat there, the polar bear reached up, undid its zip, and revealed itself to be Walt. Who didn't even spare his dad. Beast. |

I'll go back to lurking* now... *I only watched until the end of season 2, but I still want to know how it all ends so I like to read this thread, as well as asking my sister what's been happening. |

Very sad episode
I actually laughed when Sayid blew up. I hope they explain why/how he came back to life at the start of the season, probably won't though! I thought it was a great idea to kill off Sun & Jin, just one episode after their reunion. Gives us a real sense of how evil the mib/smokey actually is. I hear next week's episode is a Jacob and Smokey flashback |

Well, that was pretty fucking devastating. As soon as Sun gave Jin back his ring, I thought that one of them was going to die, but it genuinely never occurred to me that both of them would die. It was fitting to kill them off so soon after their reunion to, as weputthemdown583 said, establish just what a cold hearted bastard Locke is, but it was also just such a moving end to their particular story. After such a long time spent trying to be together, they will now never be apart.
I also found Sayid's death shocking, if not terribly moving. A few seconds after it happened, I was struck by his nobility and the redemptive quality of his action, but I think I was mainly just shell-shocked by the speed at which things went from "Shit, we're all going to die" to "Thank Fuck, we're safe" to "Shit, we're going to die even quicker". Good flash-sideways stuff this week, too. I thought that Terry O'Quinn really nailed Alterna-Locke's crushing guilt and loss in that last scene with Alterna-Jack. |

Well said.
That really was a deeply emotional episode - one of the best, I'd say. 'Devastating' certainly covers it. Like Ed said, Terry O'Quinn's performance in that Alternate final scene was absolutely spot on, and hit me especially hard - I was already near to tears as it was, what with the departure of Sun & Jin. Jack's walk down to the water's edge after that all but started me off, and then...damn you, O'Quinn! And I was really quite touched by Sayid's choosing to sacrifice himself and at least give the others a chance. |

At least the Mexican survived.
I wasn't that bothered about all the death until Hurley started crying, then it hit me. |

Just caught up last night, you lot have summed it up really.
Emotional stuff. Sun and Jin, *insert sad face* Just realised I've probably gotta watch it again Friday. Obviously it won't have the same impact. This post has been edited by Everlong: May 6 2010, 10:45 AM |

Jin! Sun! Sayid! Probably Lapidus! Why not throw Hurley in there and get rid of all of my favourites.
Apart from that, great episode. |
