LOST - Through the Looking Glass

Wow.

That's all I can say about this 2-hour long season finale. Definitely the best episode this season. Everything came together, there were massive twists, and I was left thinking about the episode for a long time. Even now! For those who haven't seen LOST yet, don't read on because there are spoilers coming up!

----SPOILER ALERT---

This episode had it all: moments of great emotion, explosions, guns, character development, questions answered, new mysteries to solve, surprises, FLASH_FORWARDS!!

The only clue I had for Jack's flash-forward was that he was using a RAZR phone at one point, which wasn't out during the time of the crash or before. And who is in the casket? Why is Jack all depressed and drinking like his dad was? Is his dad still alive? Why did nobody come to this particular person's viewing? There's just so many questions now and I think it was bold of the producers to show us that at least two of the castaways made it back to civilization. It was unprecedented and just took a lot of balls to do it, so I applaud them for it.

I also love how the line between good guy/bad guy is blurred in this show. Now I'm not so sure if Ben is the enemy or not. He obviously knew that Naomi meant trouble, and so did Locke. I was almost yelling at the screen, Jack don't be so stubborn, just listen to your people for once! If John has a suspicion just listen to him!

I was a bit saddened to see Charlie kick the bucket, but who knows... they might bring him back somehow. His purpose was fulfilled though, and he made the sacrifice... but was it the correct thing to do? Jack in the future wants to go back to the island because he is tired of lying, about what? Did they have to cover something up when they were rescued?

ARRHGHGHHGHGH

I can't wait 3 more years for this show to end, I must have the answers NOW!!

--- END SPOILERS ---

HA HA oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until February 2008 to find out what happens next, just like everyone else. I'm just glad they dug themselves out of a hole with bad stories and apparent filler episodes. I am definitely with this show for the long run, and all you out there who haven't seen it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR IT'S AWESOME!!

I have all the shows on DVD so drop me a line and I'll hook you up.
