Lost writers should look up the definition of the word "ashes"

Ben on some heel-turn shit.

So is the immortal Richard dead, or?

did Sawyer refer to flocke as "Flocke" in this episode? or was if just "if locke..."

also, flocke promising the island to ben and then saying he'll blow it up was dumb shit.

If Richard comes shambling out of the jungle with his head caved in and turned 180˚, all is forgiven.

haha i didn't think about that but yeah

if Richard is dead, man he and Sayid got swift and unceremonious dispatches. i'm so used to long string-drenched death scenes that these quick ones feel very odd and unreal. pretty good entertaining episode, though, feeling much better about the finale than I was a couple hours ago.

p sure smokey can't kill richard

hit him in the throat tonight while in smoke-mode just like he did early in the season in locke-mode, betting on richard still being alive. and miles, running in the jungle. and lapidus, he could still be alive too!

series finale's last five minutes are going to be beardy jack from the season 3/4 finale driving away from his meeting with kate to find a not-bearded jack shouting "we have to go back, jack!" right??

decent episode, "average" was refreshing after last week. biggest wtf was the voice-over preview of the finale where the narrator sounded like that midget woman from poltergeist.

I was thinking Helena Bonham Carter -- totally stupid and weird.

LMAO @ the Poltergeist dwarf!!! I thought the exact same thing. Terrifying.

tbh, I'm more interested in the cast reunion/chat on Jimmy Kimmel after the finale than in the actual finale at this point.

i can't wait for the goodbye tweets played during the finale courtesy of verizon!!!!

midget woman from poltergeist

Run to the light, baby. Mommy is in the light.

you know, with the island life light and all

the preview including aaron and the blast door map is some wishful thinking on the preview creator's part.

ya the thing is about this season tho is that sayid is still around in the alternate reality... so it's not like the audience is saying goodbye to him yet

^true.

who couldn't love alt-Desmond, Master of All Destinies tonight?

AWESOME EP

very interesting moments: Hurley asking Des about Ana Lucia and him saying "she's not ready yet", Jacob admitting that he was a fuckup, a clear line leading to all the 815'ers at the party in the alt. I'm kinda impressed that going into the finale I have no idea what is going to happen, but it seems clear that something will.

loved Desmond's beatdown of Ben, Ana Lucia's 30-second corrupt cop cameo, Zoe getting her throat slit. Ben had a ton of good lines also.

Oh god when Miles walked over Alex's grave I thought there was gonna be some "she says she always loved you Ben!!!!" stuff.

Sad that Widmore and Ben didn't get to do some more arguing.

ya i guess i'll always be sad we didn't see the great ben-widmore war play out more... but good to see bad ben back.

totally thought voice over girl was joanna newsom tbh

so who let Desmond out? what was the stupid deal with Widmore whispering the big Desmond secret to Locke only to have him go "o ya he's a failsafe" 10 mins later?

I thought I heard jack refer to Locke as Flocke in this episode. I ever rewound it, and it still sounded like flocke.

i liked the explanation for why the candidates were chosen. it explained why there were so many criminals on the plane.

the "it's just a line of chalk" line was pretty good too

I think my favourite aspect of the 'candidates' thing is the implication of how many others have come before and these were just a bunch of guys who fit the bill.

... but good to see bad ben back.

naw, smokey's getting played (tho scheming ben, good or bad, is infinitely better than mopey wet-blanket ben)

It was pretty satisfying that when Jacob finally agreed to tell the Losties why he picked them, the answer was that they were a bunch of losers.

xpost

I totally expected Ben to die last night, after that happy ending they gave him in the alt. But it's cool he's getting one last chance to pull one over on Smokey. My guess is that he'll try to learn Flocke's plan and then transmit it to Miles on the walkie.

I figure Ben is going to end up being the one to kill Smokey, possibly while also sacrificing himself. It just makes sense that he'd be the one to kill both Jacob and MiB.

Ben's motivation is weird now. I guess Flocke can just kill Ben whenever so would tell him his 'plan'. Bit disappointed that Widmore's (and presumably Alpert's?) deaths were so quick.

We are actually getting answers but they're dripping out in this way that makes you wonder why you ever cared at times, but still enjoyed this fairly fast-moving ep.

Funny that Pickett once said "Shephard wasn't even on Jacob's list" and that Mikhail told Kate, Sayid, and Locke that their being flawed was why they were NOT on the list.

I guess these were different lists, though. Did any of the Others ever actually communicate with Jacob in 2004?

I thought it was a foregone conclusion that there were a lot of different lists, too many conflicts and inconsistencies between them even before now.

Zoe was the one woah that was quick death I really enjoyed. Does this mean the talk of her being all over the finale was probably bull?

She could always show up at the Daniel Faraday concert.

opening act

better be a climactic symphonic rendition of "You All Everybody"

omg totes

"Let's Get Geophysical"

the whole flawed thing didn't make any sense at all

but OK

surprise surprise Jack forgot to ask how the fuck the lighthouse worked

hey he doesn't have lostpedia to consult like we do, you want him to write cribnotes on his hand for all the shit he could ask Jacob whenever he finally runs into him?

my first q would be like, dude, what are my new powers

maybe jacob can fly!
