I agree, we saw flashbacks on all of those visions, but none on this last one.
And wasn't there another near death experience back in the mainland when Charlie was outside playing guitar?
I saw the actor that plays Hurley on tv last night and he says the last episode is a huge reveal, but I wasn't sure whether he meant the last eppy of the season or the very last show.

I think the producers must be quite proud of themselves with that particular scene the way they... if you'll pardon the expression... keep forcing it down our throats!

We didn't see the lightening actually striking Charlie; it was intimated but not actually seen.I remember seeing the flashbacks of what Desmond did in place of Charlie, but not the original visions themselves where Charlie died. I have no reason to doubt Desmond, either. He doesn't seem evil or bad or anything, but he was on the island before the "jet people." It was Desmond who caused the plane crash by not pushing the 108 button and releasing the EMP. I dunno. I'm lost.
About a week or so I saw the actress who plays Kate on David Letterman (better than Leno) and she also said there was a huge "reveal" in the finale.
What!?!?!? They get off!!! Jack becomes a drunk and an addict!? Who died!? Locke's not dead (we knew that though). I don't want to wait a year to find out what happens. Charlie died too! I wasn't ready this week, that's not cool! So many questions, sorry for all the !'s but it's just, AHHH! I don't want to wait for all the answers.

Paul R Wrote:Wifey and I watched the episode again last night and have come up with this...Paul, this still seems to hold as possibly true, and coincides almost exactly with what Ben told to Jack.
Back in 'Enter 77', Locke entered the numbers on Mikail's computer that he was told would alert Dharma to the fact that the Hostiles had invaded. Suppose Naomi, the parachutist, is one of the Dharma rescue crew and her ship is full of Dharma operatives ready to open a can of wuppass on the Hostiles?
That would go some way to explaining why Ben was so aghast to learn about her. He would, presumably, know about Dharma having a stand-by team ready in case of Hostile invasions.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Well, we know that Naomi is not who she claims to be. What appeared to be a flashback of Jack was apparently a flash-forward of his life off the island after being "rescued." So I guess the island "Lost" experience is actually a flashback. Also, thank God for Hurley -- who comes through once again. Charlie appeared to be dead, though this IS television and Cyclops has appeared to be dead and Locke has appeared to be dead - and they lived.
I don't know whose funeral Jack visited, but no one else was there. Seems weird because it affected him so much. You would think it would be someone from the island. Someone important.
I'm still LOST.

[SIZE="3"]I thought it was a brilliant episode.
Leading us down the usual garden path of a flashback, only to discover it's not a flashback.
Ben getting the crap beaten out of him.
Tom blown away by the increasingly badass Sawyer.
Hurley to the rescue
Who was in the coffin at the empty wake? A tailie traitor? Ben?
For every question answered, 3 more arise.[/SIZE]

My only issue with the episode (which was brilliant by the way) was Charlie's death. I don't understand why he shut the door from the inside when he had plenty of time to run out and slam it shut from the other side. It seemed like a pointless death.
But it was so much fun to watch Jack pummel Ben.
And was Walt a figment of John's imagination or was he really there?
