Live together, die …. together?
Initial thoughts. Those two hours were JAM PACKED and it needs another *looksie* for more thoughts.
1. Charlie is having serious post-traumatic issues. He doesn’t seem to understand what happened. He seems surprised Locke and Co. aren’t back yet when Bernard asks where they are. He seems confused when Claire mentions the “violet sky,” He is just way to jovial to not be in shock.
2. Michael is going to die. Will he come back to help his friends first? Who knows, but there is no way that they are just going to let him go that easily. Maybe Walt will talk him into going back for the DAMN DOG and something will happen to Michael. It would be cool if it was set up that Sawyer ends up being a foster parent for Walt.
3. What was Desmond in prison for? Seems he was set up by Penny’s dad. Mr. Widmore sure doesn’t want his daughter with Desmond. He goes so far to send him to this experimental island?
4. How does Penny know about the island? I loved the last scene, it was so X-Files-esque.
5. I don’t think that Desmond, Locke and Eko are dead. But I sure wish someone would go check out the hatch. Especially after the Quarantine door came flying to camp. Hello?
6. Sayid will go and save Jack, Kate and Sawyer. We could see Sayid back on the boat during the *incident* and I’m sure once he hears Hurley’s story he will find a way to save them. Plus we are talking about the 3 main characters. They have to be saved. But it sure would be cool to see where The Others are going to take them.
7. What was the look between Jack and Kate right at the end? It seems they have something in mind but by the look on Sawyer’s face he was not part of the plan.
8. Libby so set up Desmond. She *HAD* to be put up to giving him that boat. Did she have a deal similar to Michael - was she trying to get someone back and had to deal to help get all of the survivors on that island in order to get her loved one back? Plus, she really looks crappy as a red head.
9. I don’t believe that Desmond made the plane crash. You are telling me that the magnetic force was so powerful that it pulled down a plane from the sky, but the cans of food on the beach only fell off of the shelves? No way. Yes, the instruments were probably messed up and yes, the people on the plane were meant for this island, but I don’t think that Desmond’s close call with the buttons was the cause. I think that the pilot may have made errors because of the instrument malfunction, yes. But there are too many connections not believe they are supposed to be there. I think that the reason *The Others* wanted the list so badly was because they needed to know who survived the crash.
10. Desmond knows about The Others, but how? He refers to them as “The Hostiles.” At some point he must have left the hatch and had some sort of encounter. Desmond just has way too much story left to tell for him to be dead.
11. What was up with the $42,000 reward from the boat race? 42 is one of the numbers. Coincidence?
12. The big bird that flies down towards Jack and co. I had read last season during my research that the Black *Roc* is a mythological bird. Connection? Does it have a connection to the *monster*?
13. The big foot on the beach. Four toes? Where *is* the rest of the statue? Was it destroyed in the last *incident*?
14. Desmond’s story is so disturbing and sad. It’s one of those life stories that makes you look back and say, “What if…” What if Desmond had read Penny’s letter back in prison? Would there have been a happy ending to his love story or would he have ended up exactly in the situation he is in?
15. We hear the whispers right before Sawyer & friends get poison darts. We assume it’s these Others but could it have been the “good” Others warning them that the “bad” Others were coming?
16. There is much more to discuss…. will continue since we have *all summer* to go over this one. But I thought this had to be the best season finale I have ever seen….
17. Still to discuss: Kelvin, rip in his suit, volcanic rock, Rudinski (I think that was his name), fabric softner paint, stuck in a “snow globe,” Mr Widmore, Desmond in prison, more on Libby, answer to riddle, Charles Dickens, Sawyer’s comment about aliens, Sayid praying, Hanso commercial, the original incident, the Swan key, the new incident, the hole in Kelvin’s suit, the boats, the ferry, Fenry, ah, and I’m sure there is much more!

Brief thoughts after watching “Hugh” on Jimmy Kimmel (not that the interview related to this):
Dead right about Libby.
A Roc is a giant mythological bird. In T’aiji there is a move called “Giant Roc spreads wings”… that’s actually the only way i know of it haha.
The dog theory is most probable. It seemed like Walt would have him go back but i couldn’t put my finger on exactly why. The dog make sense.

4. Clearly Penny knows about the island due to her father’s connection to it. First guess: Libby/Elizabeth/probable-psycho was either working a deal/swap with Widmore for her hubby (”imprisoned” by Widmore like Desmond only on the isle). She probably had to get Desmond on the boat. Tricked by Widmore, the boat never arrived at the end of the “race” so she is given a “list” of people(after going a little coo-coo) to get onto the plane to “bring” in exchange for her hubby (possably Kelvin) - since Desmond (conviently) never finished. Con, con, con…
oh - speaking of lists… what happened to the first batch of losties taken and why was Eko not on this list again???
10. Others = Danielle’s group of scientists gone mad! (unlike all of us from this story!)

I was talking with my sister about the season finale & she swore that she saw a plane door fall from the sky at the end of the show. I thought that it was the hatch door but she insists that it is another plane that has fallen. Anyone else see it?

Some people said that, but it’s supposedly the beginning of the recap that aired before the finale. It’s said that the beginning was aired by accident after the show for just a second and then it cut to the following show. i watched the whole thing and saw nothing of the sort, but that’s all i know…

So, I have this theory. I think there are more than one group of “Others”. I think there are the “Hostiles” that gave Michael the list, and captured Jack, Freckles, and Sawyer. But I think there is also another seperate group. Remember the two “others” that Kate noticed following them. The ones that Kate and Sawyer opened fire on? Michael was leading the 4 on the list into a trap, and ambush. If you’ve set a trap for somebody, you don’t follow them around, you lie in wait for them to walk into the trap, then you catch them. Or hit them with siezure inducing blow-darts…
I think the people that were following our losties were from a different group of others, perhaps they were trying to warn Jack & company? I don’t know…It just didn’t make sense.
Remember, You heard it here 1st (unless of course I am wrong…then I was just kidding

Negrodamus,
Actually, I have said before that there might be two groups of Others… for instance, see the Lockdown post. So I guess we will *both* be wrong! I’m thinking that there are the group of scientists who are still working the Hanso project (whether or not the project is actually still going is up for debate) and there is the potential that there are other survivors of other crashes that have banded together. This is worth a separate post, don’t you think? I’ll work on that.
BUT your point about the Others that were following them makes sense. Good call!

Gnid Gnid,
Could Penny and Libby be *related*? Maybe Libby is also a Widmore child….

Hmm… Libby did have an awfully nice boat that she just gave away… Negrodamus - I’m with you on that too. When they did capture the party, none of the “blow dart” Others seemed too concerned or upset that some of their people had been shot. No mention of it when they were tied up on the pier at the ferry either.
