I seriously yelled at my TV when it ended. I think it was “THOSE PUNKS!” Haha, the creators have a sense of humor making us wait forever with a cliff hanger like that. I can’t wait until it comes back.. I think I’ll have to pick up the rest of the seasons on DVD and watch them all again before it comes back.

Kate has really annoyed me this season too. I want Sawyer to stay with Juliet, but obviously that might be a bit difficult after what happened at the end.

Since the 1970s and 2000s are not happening at the same time despite how we view them on the screen I doubt Jacobs “death” had anything to do with Juliet. Juliet was that human variable that Faraday was talking about. That one thing that perhaps could change things and what convinced him they had a chance. Juliet kept saying she “changed her mind” multiple times in the episode. Jacob told Ben that he still had a choice. Things could still go either way. For some reason people like Ben and Juliet could be variables in these situations. More so than Jack and the other Losties selected by Jacob. Juliet was the one that kept changing the direction of the group. Same with Ben.

I agree with Josh about Kate. I’ve come to believe that Kate’s purpose in the show is to ruin people’s lives. Okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration. But, still, after five seasons of the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle but only one season of small glimpses into the Sawyer-Juliet relationship, I still felt more invested in Sawyer & Juliet. Their relationship felt more real (and I just like Juliet better). Just like Rose said, it’s always drama with the other Losties. But, S&J’s relationship was drama-free. They were just happy together.

Overall, I really liked the finale last night, but I enjoyed the Dharma/Swan/bomb storyline far more than the Jacob/Locke/Ben/Richard storyline. The Dharma group storyline is more character & relationship based which I connect to better. The storyline of Jacob & Locke is still too cryptic for me to totally enjoy. I also think I connect with the science fictiony side of the story more than the mythical/paranormal side.

I wonder if season 6 will turn into season 1 version 2.0. I doubt it. I think there’s more to it than that. When Jacob asked “Locke” about finding a loophole, I wonder if he was referring to his impending death or the newfound ability of the Losties to break the time loop or both. Perhaps Jacob’s death is what allowed Juliet to wake up and complete one final act that might just reset the timeline. I don’t know; just brainstorming out loud.

Evil Deadwood Dude was likely Christian and Locke and perhaps Alex (who told Ben to do whatever Locke said…Locke who was actually Evil Deadwood Dude). And when we saw Christian in the cabin it was likely this Deadwood guy because Jacob’s followers said that Jacob had not been there in a while. I guess we can assume that whatever Christian told people to do it was anti-Jacob in nature.

Honestly, I thought the end was lame. Didn’t we basically figure before the finale that they would end up detonating the thing? They didn’t move that storyline forward really at all last night.

I also don’t understand why Jack and Sawyer are both in love with Kate. WTF? What’s so good about her that she’s got two guys who want her? Juliet was awesome and it annoyed me that in the scene with Rose and Bernard, Sawyer basically gave away that it was Kate he cared about for some reason.

Otherwise, great finale. Loved the stuff with Jacob and Locke.
