Lost, Season 5, Episode 16

Get out the popcorn; tonight's the season finale!

Blurb: Jack's decision to set things right on the island is met with some strong resistance by those close to him, and Locke assigns Ben a difficult task.

Ryan's take

Jon's take

Alan Sepinwall's take

I fully expect to be as puzzled as ever after I've seen it, and I'm resigned to that.

Noooo! Not Juliet!

But since she was at Ground Zero, it seems unlikely she survived (although then neither should Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Miles, Hurley, Sayid or Jun, since they were also on scene when the bomb blew). Nothing would surprise me with this show.

If Locke's still dead, then fake Locke must have been the guy on the beach at the beginning of the show, since at the end Jacob said "You finally found the loophole" to him and he agreed.

Can Jack's real reason for wanting to hit reset with the bomb just be for Kate's sake? If that's true, he's hopeless and it's a really weak portion of the plot.

I don't know about you, Linky... But the end seemed very biblical to me..
