Remove this ad When we saw Jacob weaving the threads tonight, did anyone else think of the Fates from Greek mythology weaving the threads of fate? In particular (for the video game nerds) I really thought of God of War II when the final sister of the three Fates is weaving all of the threads of destiny on her loom...

So either the bomb worked and 815 won't crash leaving the past four seasons irrelevant or it didn't and they're in a sort of time-loop? 2. Ben's character is starting to disappoint me. I LOVED him as the creepy dude who always knew more than he was willing to share. Now he's just acting like the wimpy kid that gets picked on seeking revenge on the cool kids. 3. I've never been a huge fan of Juliet but she kicked ass tonight. 4. I'm not a big fan of the Jacob vs. Anti-Jacob showdown at the moment though I'm sure Darlton will find a way to make it cool.

It is also, quite often about religious hypocrisy. Seems a bit relevant to the overall story, here.

(oh, who am I kidding? I'll watch season 6) Right now, I feel like they have broken my heart.... and pissed me off.

Remove this ad I think the reason Jacob appeared to everyone was because everything he said to them nudged them into doing what they did this episode which inevitably ends up with them all agreeing to set off the bomb. Upon doing so, they never land on the island, Locke never ends up dying, and Smokey can't get Ben to kill Jacob. So Smokey had his plan to kill Jacob, and Jacob had his plan to change the past to his benefit. Maybe? eta to fix a mixup in names.

Actually the way I watched this was kinda cool, i live on the east coast but work nights, and have a friend who lives on the west coast, so i started watching at midnight and called her after each break and we were like "wtf, what is in that metal box? wtf why wasn't jacob in the juliet flashback etc etc" FUCK WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL ENERO

Even if the Jacob vs. Antijacob is the broader picture of it all, I don't think I'd be bummed out. But Jacob said something about "the story only ends once," which is where I believe our Oceanic people come into play.

I love how we start off and it's a show about a few plane crash survivors, and each season it gets bigger and broader to the point that it's a very battle between a good and evil that has existed for eons. I love this show. I want to hump the TV and make little Lost babies with it. I just wish we had a slight more sense where we're headed next. But I guess that's what the next 9 months are for. Sigh. When is comicon?

When is comicon? This forum is probably the only place SI and I agree. Totally epic. It did leave me feeling different from the other finales though. Those were giddily "WOW! I WONDER WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?" This one is more ominous "omg, what's going to happen next?" I don't know if any of you played the PS3 video game, but the ending to it was written by Darlton and it does hint at things to come. I'll "SPOILER" the rest of my post, even though it's not a spoiler and is speculation based on something already released by the show. Spoiler [+] At the end of the video game, your character sails off the island on a boat. He experiences a flash and ends up back on the plane as it's crashing with a dead person now living that wasn't on the plane originally (I think. It's been awhile.). And he can still recall the events that happened on the island. I think one possibility is that Juliet detonating the bomb will put the key characters back on the plane, but fully aware of what's happened up until that point. Just throwing ideas out there.

Anyone? Jacob visited everyone (except Miles) who was at the Swan in the final scene. He didn't interact with Juliette, and she died. Wonder if this means anything. LOL and I love Jack's "drop a nuke down a hole and stare down after it". ETA: I'm glad that doe-eyed retard Juliette is dead. Although I'm sure she'll still be around in flashbacks.

Remove this ad If Horace was killed in the purge (years after this incident) how could he have been at the drilling site for the incident? Assuming everyone within a moderate radius was instantly killed when the bomb went off.
