MAJOR SPOILERS! IF YOU DIDN’T WATCH LAST NIGHT, GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“You don’t get to save your daughter” – HELL YES! Once again, Ben proves to rock and hard in this latest, one of the last, episodes of Lost. Wow! Need to still process it so here are quick thoughts:
- I am so freaking happy Ben killed Widmore. Holy crap!
- Is Ben going to be the new Smokey? Or is he playing Smokey, pretending to help him?
- Sideways Ben and Sideways Danielle!
- Holding a grudge there Sideways Desmond?
- Jack is the new Jacob. Is that going to last do you think? I think not.
- Notice that the crew with Jacob were the same four kidnapped at the end of Season 2.
- Smokey promises Ben the run of the island and then tells him he’s going to destroy the island. Don’t get it.
- Desmond is a fail safe. What does that mean? I need to watch Season 2 again apparently. See, that damn hatch did mean a lot to the show.
- Is Richard dead?
- No love for the deceased Lapidus. Sad. He was pretty awesome.
- I don’t think Miles has a prayer out in that jungle alone.
- Why did Widmore rig his own plane with C4?
- Richard buried Alex! AWWWW
- Poor Sawyer, he feels so guilty. Loved how Jack responded to that. Jack has truly gone back to Season One hero now.
- I still think they are all going to die.
- I still have no idea what the Sideways world is.
Only 2.5 hours of this wonderful show left! I’m excited and sad all at once.

Hi! One question: Did I miss something? Why does it appear that Desmond is holding a grudge? Not being jerky, really asking, cause I didn’t notice that.
Anyway, my take on The Sideways world is that it’s a parallel world and is going on at the same time as island time -meaning if one of them was to get off right now and go to LA, they would see themselves, just like when Sawyer watched Kate deliver Claire’s baby.
I think what’s happening in Sideways world is whatever would have been if Jacob never came into their lives in the first place, which would be a clue as to the ending on the island. Noone will go on to protect it- it does get destroyed by “NotLocke”, who I have been saying all along is not the bad guy.
One more thing: I so don’t think Richard is dead! Locke has him holed up somewhere. Remember: Richard has an everlasting life!
If we consider that right now in the real world, Kate supposedly is innocent, Farraday is a Widmore, Hurley doesn’t consider himself “unlucky” : maybe all these things are because there is no Jacob factor.
I’m thinking we’re going to see a bunch of people in the final few hours that remain who have previously been killed off: Sayid, Illana, Charlie
and especially the Kwon’s, as I believe since the name Kwon was number 42, the whole ending hinges on them (My guess is that Sun was the “candidate”)!
Also, to address your question about Desmond, how is he a failsafe; remember Desmond was the one that turned the key and averted disaster when they stopped pressing numbers in the hatch, so he’s been through the tunnel of light maybe? Maybe he’s just like NotLocke? If NotLocke is the “cork” currently, then maybe Widmore wanted Desmond to take the place of NotLocke if he does somehow make it off the island. Then the island and the rest of the world would still exist. These are my theories, I hope you like em!
