LOST: The Final Season: Episode 16: What They Died For

First I want to say Ms. Kinast if you're reading this post, congratulations to you and your husband on your new baby girl!



OMG this was an awesome episode to take us into the series finale on Sunday. Work has been so demanding lately that I didn't even know the series finale was airing on Sunday night and not next week Tuesday until Mr. Monaco told me. But back to this episode...I thought it was excellent. It definitely made up for last week. But then again I didn't find last week's episode all that disappointing as many did.

Let's start at the end...we know "what they [Jin, Sun and Sayid] died for."
I think it's clear that MIB should not leave the island or what Crazy Mom said is true.
That's what Eloise Hawking meant when she said "God help us all."
It's really coming together now.
Some fans aren't thrilled about how, but it is all starting to come together reasonably.
I think there are many mysteries that will go unsolved.
There have got to be a few more reveals in the finale.

Evil Tina Fey (Zoe) and Whidmore were killed by Flocke.
We still don't know what Flocke/MIB's real name is.
I did not see Zoe's death coming whatsoever.
Ben turned Zoe and Whidmore over to Flocke like it was no skin off his back.
When Flocke slit her throat in one quick slice I was like "Oh snap!"

We learned that Kate's bullet wound was not fatal as it went clear through her.
Jack stitched her up.
It's good having a surgeon around.
Kate wants to kill MIB but at this point, we don't know if that's possible.

Miles went running through the jungle to get himself out of the situation.
It's surprising that Flocke didn't kill him.
Richard got swooped up by the Black Smoke.
We haven't seen the last of Richard because he's immortal.
It was probably just Flocke getting Richard out of the way for a while.
Ben agrees to kill whoever Flocke asks him to kill.
I figured Flocke would kill Whidmore but when Ben beat him to it, I was like "Oh snap!"
So Whidmore in his own words beat Ben to the punch of blowing up the Ajira plane.
Ben counters by beating Flocke to the punch of killing Whidmore.
What a well written show!

We saw that Danielle Rousseau is indeed Alex's mother back in LA.
They have Ben over for some fine French cuisine and play happy family together.
I bet Danielle will have an island flashback and she and Ben will figure something out.
There was a teaser that we might learn who Jack's son's mother is...but we'll have to wait.
I'm guessing it's Rose...just kidding...it's probably Anna Lucia.
Claire is still super pregnant.
Let's see what happenes at the concert that everyone's going to.



We now understand why Whidmore brought Desmond back to the island...well, sort of.
It's because Desmond was a "failsafe," a last chance to keep MIB on the island.
We'll see how that plays out on Sunday night.
We also understand why Desmond ran over Locke at the high school.
Desmond was hatching a plan to bring everyone together.
He had himself arrested so he could meet up with Kate and Sayid in jail.
Then, of all people, Anna Lucia sets the three of them free in exchange for some of Hurley's money.


Meanwhile, Jacob appeared to Hurley, Jack, Sawyer and Kate to explain some mysteries.
He revealed that the light at the center of the island must never go out.
We learned that Kate was originally on the list but was crossed off because she adopted Aaron.
We also learned that the job of protector was kinda up for grabs.
This means that one person was not predestined for it.
Jack volunteered and Jacob made him the official new protector of the island.
Again, if Jack was supposed to die in episode one, how can he be so all-important at the end of the series?
Either way this episode totally rocked.
Flocke stated that he will destroy the island.
I am having trouble with Flocke's eagerness to leave.
He doesn't even know where he's from.
How does he know where to go or what he's missing if he's never been there?

Well you guys, it's the end of an era.
LOST is coming to a close.
Let's just hope that no more main characters get killed.
How will Miles and Richard play into all of this?
Here's to an awesome finale...



LOST is the best show ever.
