Oh, what an episode! Oh, what a series! Oh, each and everyone of those characters is in my heart to stay.
I sobbed and sobbed for Sun and Jin. Did you hear those huge cracking sounds last night? Those were hearts breaking all over America. Ohhhhh, I'm still mourning.
I knew Sayid would come back from the dark side, just as Hurley said he might. Sawyer and Hurley had a brief conversation about Sayid joining them on the boat, and Sawyer said no, that Sayid had gone to the dark side. Hurley said, "but wait, people can come back from the dark side, like Anakin." Sawyer replied, "who the hell is Anakin?" Hurley was right, as we all knew he would be.
And Lapidus, I liked him so much. I don't think they gave his death enough due. I kept looking to see if he might have made it. But he got slammed by the blasted section of the sub. Damn.
I'm still so sad....
I think Jack will be the new Jacob, but Hurley should not be counted out. Hurley has a greater inherent humanity than Jack, and we've seen that Hurley actually has the ability for business and making decisions and deals. I wouldn't put it past this show to NOT make Jack the replacement for Jacob, if only because all signs point in that direction. However, Jack has changed so much over the course of the series, it's been great to see him grow. I've come to really like the kinder, gentler Jack, the questioning, willing-to-take-orders Jack, the Jack who doesn't need to control everything but who does want to include everyone in decisions.
Kate? Well, I suspect she will survive, or perhaps she will give her life for Claire.
And all of this is just what's happening on the Island. How is this all going to merge and jive with the flash sideways? I don't know, but can't wait to find out...and then I'll be so so so sad when the series ends. Boo Hoo!
I've already pre-ordered Season 6.
