Surprised nobody's mentioned sideways-Ben and sideways-Danielle possibly gettin' sideways in the near future. :eyebrows:
I liked this episode.
1. No way Richard is dead.
2.Widmore might be alive, the rules could prevent Ben from having killed him. This could have been intentional on Ben's part. He's probably going to double cross the MiB, especially after he blurted out that he was planning to destroy the island, after promising it to Ben to win his loyalty.
3. Jack won't be the protector for long. Expecting it to get passed to Hurley in the finale.
4. Still no Juliet!
5. Alex is hot.
6. Liked Jacob's deconstruction of the candidate thing.
7. Now we definitely have to wonder what the apparition of Claudia was.
8. Nice that they touched on Jack waking up in the bamboo in the pilot.
The writers have been adamant about Jack being the next protector of the island. Also, if they didn't fire Matthew Fox after his drunk driving episode, I'm sure he's the one.
I'm fairly sure that they have to do that drink from the cup ritual in order to pass the torch, as it were.
Did anyone else expect for there to be wine in the cup?
I wondered how Jacob knew the words to the ritual with the cup. You wouldn't expect him to remember after nearly 2,000 years. Maybe all this stuff's written on a wall somewhere?
Using the ash to resurrect Jacob for a few hours was a clever way of allowing him to speak to the others... I wonder if they can burn the ashes of the ashes and do it again?
I doubt very much Ben wants the island. He just wants an end to it all. Getting to exact revenge on Widmore was a nice bonus along the way.
Wouldn't that make Yunjin Kim a little pissed? And is it even a punishment if they kept him around for the sake of the Jin-Sun reunion --within 3 episodes of the finale? Although, granted, he didn't have much of a role...certainly less screen-time than Sun.Daniel Dae Kim was also busted for DUI, but he wasn't fired. Probably because he didn't get busted until the end of 2008, after they'd finished filming most of season 5. This is also most likely the reason Jin and Sun died instead of having a happy ending.
