I currently have mixed feelings about the finale.
I mean there was A LOT going on and A LOT to process over the next few days. Almost too many characters this season and not enough episodes to make them feel their worth.
Sun, Lapidus, the weird people with the box, the others, the Dharma folks.....I mean there was so much going on and so many damn people. And Phil's death wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped, it felt rushed. I was hoping for a nice satisfying 2 minute scene of Sawyer kicking his ass.
Jacob....so we see who he is, but after almost 3 full seasons of the mystery of Jacob....we finally see him and we don't seem to get to know much about him and now it appears that he is dead? I'm fine with Jacob dying, because then it will open Season 6 for a lot more answers to be told. But I do hope we get more of Jacob's back story, why he is who he is and exactly who is he?
Locke....Is Locke, Locke anymore? It really would suck to lose one of the best characters on LOST if it is indeed someone else taking Locke's form. Or is it a Locke from another time frame that somehow came to the island or manifested on it? I mean honestly Locke could be anyone or anything right now. But if it isn't Locke, then that means Locke is dead.
Juliet is dead most likely, a lot of people predicted she would die because Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) is going full time on some other show next season and wouldn't have time for LOST. Which to me tells me that Juliet won't be back next season. I personally thought Juliet wouldn't be the one to die and that Sayid might die, but he didn't. I also predicted that Sawyer and Juliet's relationship would go to ^^^^ by the end of the season. Hopefully Sawyer and Kate get back together next season!
Now we won't know until next season if the hydrogen bomb does indeed blow up, but if it does.....how could they ever rebuild the Swan? The bomb would just annihilate that area and make it totally useless to rebuild. Maybe the electromagnetism somehow prevents the bomb from working how it should and eats up its energy? I don't know, I am just saying that if the bomb blows up as it normally would, then the Swan could not exist.
It was a great finale, but not the best. It was jumbled, jumping around too much and stuff. And I didn't really feel that the build up to The Incident was as dramatic as the Season 3 finale or Season 2 or 4 or 1. But either way I am sure based on the title of the finale and what happened that what we saw was the incident that initiates the button 108 minute protocol.
I didn't understand Jacob meeting with and touching certain people prior to the crash. What I am saying is this......Desmond not pushing the button caused the plane to crash due to the EM released, correct? So if they are saying that Jacob meeting with some of the 815ers prior to the crash....is the reason they did crash. Then that completely changes the facts of the show. Now they didn't say what they meant by Jacob meeting with certain people prior to the crash, but it was a vibe I got. Or maybe Jacob knew that 815 was going to crash because of Desmond not pushing the button and simply went to see/touch certain 815ers to save their lives or to see if they would be 'special' upon their arrival to the island? Jacob seemed very unimportant in the finale.....his story doesn't feel complete.
I was expecting to finally find out the importance/significance of the Guitar Case, why did Hurley take it? Was there really a guitar inside of it? But we never found out.
I do hope the final season has a similar structure to the first few seasons of the show. Slower paced but with one main goal, more concentration on central characters and not too jumbled like this season. I still think this might have been the best season so far, but I did not like the structure of the season. I really think Season 6 should be a full season like the first three, but why would they change that if they already signed on 17 hours for the final two seasons.
I am highly anticipating Season 6. Matthew Fox was JUST on Jimmy Kimmel and said that we would be very satisfied and VERY happy with the way the show ends (as he already knows the ending).
