The Island Has Moved

The LOST season finale aired last night, and it was filled with lots of suspense, action, drama, deaths, a few answers, and of course plenty of questions.

Here are some miscellaneous thoughts and questions I came up with after watching the season four finale:

-It's amazing how many times this show has reinvented itself. The first few episodes were simply about a group of strangers struggling to survive on a deserted island.

-So who’s left on the Island that Jack and company need to go rescue? Sawyer, Juliet, Charlotte, Miles, Bernard & Rose (though they didn’t want to leave really), Claire, Jin, Daniel (raft), misc. Losties….not too many left really.

Look at who has died since the pilot episode: Shannon, Jin (?), Charlie, Michael, Boone, almost all the Tailies, and now Locke; plus various Others, Freighties, crazy French women, crazy Russians, Alex, Karl, etc.

-The Desmond-Penny reunion was probably among the top-five moments of the show. At least there was one happy ending.

-What happened to Daniel Faraday and the rest of the raft Losties?

-I’m guessing Charlotte is Ben’s old girlfriend, Annie.

-Why does Miles want to stay on the Island?

-Halfway through the finale I had determined that it was either Ben or Locke in the coffin. I remember that this time last year, probably half of LOST’s fans thought it was Michael in the coffin.

-I doubt we’ve seen the last of Jin. Even when LOST shows a character “dead,” that doesn’t mean they are in fact dead.

-I’m guessing we have seen the last of Desmond…for a while at least. I’m sure he’ll pop up again as a guest, but his main story has come to a conclusion.

-So Jack has to get everybody back to the Island. How difficult of a task will this prove to be, especially with Sun looking to partner up with Widmore?

-What happens to Lapidus?
