As many of you know, I am a big Sci-Fi Geek. Although Lost has had its ups and downs in the last six years, it still remained one of my favorite shows. The conclusion of Lost feels like the end of an era of quality weird TV. Networks have tried to duplicate the mystery, suspense, and wackiness of Lost, but have never been successful. This is the part where I lament about what I have learned and make my predictions for the series finale.
Spoiler Alert: I am going to rant about situations from past episodes, so if you are not up to date please stop reading.
What do we know already? Who is even left to discuss? They eliminated some key characters recently. Dear J.J. Abrams, why would you kill both Kwons? The island better not be done with them yet. Jin has never even seen his daughter. This storyline is almost as weak as when Felicity chopped off her hair.
The Players
Jacob: We know that Jacob is no saint. He has mommy issues and a bad case of sibling rivalry. We know that he is responsible for creating the smoke monster, which still remains nameless (maybe we just call him Jacob’s brother or the man in black like, Johnny Cash).
Kate: She can’t make a decision to save her life and never could. She would love to mold her own man that would be a cross between Sawyer and Jack. I have a strong feeling; she will end up with neither. I think she will probably leave the island and finish raising Aaron, since Claire has become a bit crazy.
Sawyer: We all want Sawyer to have a purpose. We love him because he is the bad boy that has learned to let people in. He fell in love with Kate and Juliet. He rocked the Dharma Initiative gear and became a leader. A cooler more sarcastic version of Jack, he is awesome at coming up with nicknames and looking hot without a shirt. He is and always will be my favorite Lost character. I would be happy if Sawyer didn’t have a Hollywood ending. I would love to see him leave the island and return to the con. I would rather see him eaten by the Locke monster than become a cop.
Hugo: Everyone loves Hurley but I have never been that big of a fan. I would choose him to remain on the island and protect the “light”. He doesn’t seem to have much going for him on the outside. He is able to communicate with dead people, so he would have plenty of company on the island. He has loved and lost and maybe remaining on the island as the candidate will help him heal.
Jack: In the past few weeks Jack has been channeling the real Locke. He is all about the island and protecting it. He feels it’s his duty and purpose to remain on the island. It appears that he will because last week he drank Jacob’s Kool- aid. I don’t like this ending for Jack. I think he should be able to find happiness off the island. I understood his motivation to go back to the island and save his friends but making the island his permanent residence doesn’t make sense.
Desmond: Someone needs to help a brotha out. He has been through way too much to die on this island. Hopefully he will be able to finally leave the island and be reunited with his family. Still not sure why he doesn’t blow up, when struck with high voltage.
Side note: Not sure what is going on with the sideways storyline. It seems like it’s just the fake world Jack tried to create, via bombing the hatch site, and killing poor Juliet. It also appears that Desmond is trying to get everyone to remember what really happened. Not too impressed with this world except that fact that Claire is hot again. Can’t stand to look at her on the island. I know they made her crazy but couldn’t they give her a brush or something? But since this is Lost anything can happen. This could be the true world. Btw did we ever find out why there are polar bears on the tropical island?
I have rambled and ranted enough. We shall see on Sunday how this ends, Hopefully all will be explained. Until then let's raise a Dharma Initiative beer and see what happens...
