I thought it was kind of fun for things to be a little
happy for a minute. Hugo saves the day
with the van. Actually I can't figure
out why there was beer left in it- I though Jin and Sawyer drank it all?
The flash forward was kind of cool too, but a bit like
burning a rope at both ends...over the long run, is that their vision? Connecting the dots for 3 more seasons? My thought at the time was, didn't "The
9" kind of flop? Also, I agree with
what some people have said that not everyone gets off the island. I think that's why Jack wants to go back. There are some screencaps of the clipping
that Jack carried around and it looks like a man from NY dies- isn’t Michael
from NY?
I think it is worth focusing on the whole idea of the
island giving people purpose/ requiring them to act upon it. It gave Desmond visions, Locke healing, super virility
to Jin, etc, and maybe in some strange way the survivors are better off on the
island, with all its mystery, than returning to the mainland.
My last thought has to do with Ben being right about
Naomi not being who she says she is. She
had the pic of penny and Desmond, and we know that penny is looking for
Desmond, but what the hell was Naomi really doing? Who was the guy on the other end of the phone?
