I think a station that big has to be powered by more than an extension cord running to the island. It probably has its own generators.tomandshell said:

The more I think about it, the more I agree that it's not a power cable. Maybe a communications cable connecting the underwater station to the mainland Dharma intranet.
And now the title of the season finale takes on a new meaning: "Through the Looking Glass."
I didn't realize how much I wanted Charlie to live until the last few minutes of this episode. I honestly hope that he will be back for season four.

Me, too! Especially when he said good-bye to Hurley.tomandshell said:
I think the problem with Charlie this season was that he didn't have anything to do. Besides Desmond's visions of his death, nothing really focused on Charlie. That's why it was good to see his flashbacks this week. So sad to see his ring get left behind.

Dom does such a good job at making Charlie charming. His talent really was wasted this year. As much fun as Hawaii with Evangeline Lilly must be
, I bet the guy is itching to get more screen time and take on new challenges.That ring getting left behind seems a good reason why he'll die. It's a better scene of Claire finding it and realizing how much he loved her. Also the flashbacks seemed like playing catch up with the character. Is there anything left for them to tell us in his past? If not, he'll better serve the show & make a lasting impact through sacrifice going out a hero.
I think the great thing about the flashbacks is that they're always expanding. You get to see how everyone is somehow connected. Just like with Charlie saving Sayid's girlfriend. I was trying to remember who else he'd crossed paths with, but all I could think of was Desmond.Entropy Chicken said:

Something makes me think that the preview for next week was just the tip of the ice burg and there were much bigger things that could have been shown that people would have been more upset seeing. Also watching it again last night after the Lost special... it seems some things were cut together to make it appear as though they were taking place at the same time.
About Charlie though, Im kinda torn on if he should live or die. Living we keep "the closest thing to a nuclear family on Lost" according to the producers but at the same time if he dies it will have a huge impact on Claire and Aaron and who knows what the result of that will be. I do NOT however think anything will come of the idea of the rescue hellicopter blowing up. That is just far far too dark for Lost.

I think Desmond is up to something - we did not see the flash this time
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Episode 322 FINALE "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS"
The finale is full of action, a few deaths -- and that huge twist I mentioned earlier.
First, the deaths. A bunch of Others get killed when they try to raid the camp. This includes Friendly, who Sawyer shoots in cold blood -- and also the other new tough guy Other (I think his name is Price) who gets run over by Hurley in the van.
And Charlie FINALLY dies. Thank god. I've always thought he was one of the weaker characters and his death has been threated in so many episodes its about time it finally happened. He unblocks the jamming signal in the underwater station but drowns when Mikhail uses a grenade to blow it up, killing them both. It's a cool death for Charlie. Maybe cooler than he deserves.
Another big moment is when an old favorite of the show returns. Locke is just about to kill himself in the Dharma grave pit that he fell into after Ben shot him when he hears a voice telling him not to. He looks up to see...WALT!! Walt helps him out of the pit and then disappears. No sign of Michael, and there's no explanation about where Walt has been or what happened to him or Michael.
Locke then makes it to the Radio Tower -- and gets there in time to kill Naomi just before she makes the rescue call. He throws a knife straight into her back. Jack can't understand what Locke is doing and tells him that he'll have to shoot him to stop him from making the call himself. Locke threatens to kill Jack, but then backs down.
Jack makes the rescue call -- and someone on the other end answers. The story on the island ends with help on the way. Or maybe not. Ben has told Jack that Naomi and her people aren't who they say they are -- and just before he dies, Charlie sees a transmission in the underwater hatch from Desmond's Penny -- who, contrary to what Naomi has said, denies that she knows Naomi at all!!
But the HUGE TWIST of the episode -- in fact, probably the huge twist of the entire series -- happens in the flashback. They start by showing that Jack is totally ****ed up. He's popping pills and suicidal. The first flashback shows him about to kill himself by jumping off a bridge -- only a car accident nearby causes him to stop, and instead of killing himself he fins himself helping the accident victims.
But he keeps spiraling. He sees his ex-wife at the hospital -- she's pregnant with another man's child. He goes to a funeral of a person that we never discover, but whoever it is, his (or her) death rocks Jack hard. He steals drugs from the hospital and is caught by the new doctor in charge.
And all the time, he's constantly on the phone desperately trying to contact somebody. And the last scene shows us who...he goes to meet the mystery person, and it's the last person on earth we would think...it's KATE!
And it's now that we realize that for the first time in Lost history, we haven't been watching a flashback. We've been watching a FLASH-FORWARD!
Yep, that's right. THEY ACTUALLY SHOW THAT JACK AND KATE MAKE IT OFF THE ISLAND. For some reason, this has been the cause of Jack's spiral. He tells Kate they have to go back to the island. She refuses and drives away. The show finishes with Jack screaming "We have to go back!!"
It's a bold move by the writer's no doubt, but I'm not sure if it will pay off entirely. It raises many other questions -- how did they get off the island, did anyone else get off the island, who stayed behind -- but on a show that has been all about our heroes trying to get back home, its kind of disappointing to know that Jack and Kate actually return to the mainland and that they could stay there if they want.
The twist is bound to cause huge discussion among Lost fans. I felt it was a bit of a cheat, but maybe others will like it more...
