LOST Season 5 - Page 15

But if this is the case LOST's finale would just be everyone going on their different lives, jack would keep being a doctor, kate running from the cops, sawyer still in his self destructive spiral ect. and the connection would never have been made (assuming jack/kate succeed faraday in detonating the bomb). Which imo would be a cliche and rather sad ending =(. hope it doesn't come to that.

Apparently Locke wants to kill Jacob?????

the bomb is what causes the incident

could it be that when jack and co leaves the island at the end of season 4 and they witness the island disappearing it was actually the hydrogen bomb going off?

jack detonates the bomb and causes "the incident" which causes everything to happen just as it should.

Notes:
- I think its really cool how jack and john are at it again, each leading two different causes. Just like the time when one wanted to stay and one wanted to leave.
- watching richard run around in two different time zones was mind boggling, trying to remember which is the Richard who knows whats going on and which is the clueless one who is just following the leader
- If Eloise was really helping the survivors, wouldnt she NOT send them back in the first place? Then her son wouldn't get shot ect.ect.ect. So maybe her interests are to perpetuate the cycle? Hence leading jack to the bomb...
- Jacob's God-esque relationship is an odd puzzle, and Locke (who is the believer) wants to kill him @_@ What is Locke's motive? to "free" people? certainly doesn't seem to be to save his fellow survivors, at least thats not priority 1
- I have no idea how ANY of this ties into the Lost Experience and the online goose chases information. No mention at all about who started DHARMA and whats with the talk about the initiative developing a virus or something or another.
- GODDAMN they sure know how to make cliff hangers >=(

Actually at this point I think they're mostly done creating mysteries and are working towards wrapping up the series.

That guy who was in lockes body was the blonde dude somehow, the one who we saw at the beginning of the episode with jacob as we saw the black rock about to make landfall at the island. We also saw him make contact with all the characters in the flashbacks

How can you not trigger a nuclear weapon by a thousand foot drop, fall down the thousand foot drop, and yet live to activate it by banging it with a rock?

the loophole must be that the man from the beginning of the episode can somehow assume the form of a dead bodies. "Christian" was not really christian shepherd, but that same man who then gave instructions to Locke. He gave instructions to Ben as Ben's daughter, to do whatever Locke says. When Locke's dead body came back, he assumed Locke's form and got Ben to kill Jacob.
