My thoughts on the finale and the season in general.
SPOILERS
Well, I always said that as soon as Dan said do detonate the bomb, to save everyone, it was the incident all along. Miles says this, but after tonight I'm not too sure.
I loved the flashbacks and seeing Jacob in each one (except Juliet) and wanted an answer for this, but they decided to kill him, which makes me really upset. I wanted at least some answers in this final, but I didn't get any. Instead I got a whack of more questions and I do not think they can wrap this up in one season.
Sayid and Juliet dying? Okay, anything can happen on this show, are they all dead? I hope not. I did not invest 5 years in this show to have them all die. But things that happened during this episode point towards it still being a circle. Marvin Candles hand is one thing, Radzinsky living is another. Yet having Juliet be the one who detonates the bomb is a kink in it though. Jacob never appeared in her flashback. Interesting. Also her flashback seemed to only serve the purpose of her 'leaving' Sawyer, since her parents split.
Quick searching shows that Richard spoke Latin and said "He Who Will Save Us". Is Jacob a Jesus like figure and the other guy the devil? Is the other guy the smoke monster? I remember the producers saying back in season 3 that we've already seen the smoke monster in another form, this led people to say that it could take on human form. Evidence of Eko's brother Yemi appearing right where the smoke monster was before killing him and Eko knowing it wasn't his brother points to this. Jacob VS Smoke Monster? This show went from Losties on island, to Losties on Dharma island, to Losties on Others island, to Leader of Others VS Widmore, to Losties going back in time causing everything that has happened to them, to Jacob vs other guy.
That other guy wanted to kill Jacob, so I think he's dead at the end, despite what others online have said about him still being alive. Why did he need Ben to kill him? What was this loop hole? Locke? Is this whole show about killing a character we've just been introduced to? I really liked him in this episode and wanted more....I'm still kinda upset.
I was shocked seeing Locke in the box, I thought it was either
A: A bomb
B: Jacob
C: Christian
Sun and Jin are nothing this season and seem not important to the story. Seeing Jacob in their flashback gives me hope that they mean more later on.
All in all I thought it was a decent episode, yet not what I wanted from the cliffhanger. I knew that's how they would end it though.
Please let Jacob be alive, he is the key to a lot of answers, MORE JACOB!!
I still think Season 3 final was the best and most exciting.
