The Lost finale was fantastic. It didn’t answer all the questions. Instead it focused on the characters we had grown attached to for six years. We learned about their lives, were excited when they triumphed, and saddened when they failed. And the finale continued this. It left us with the idea that these people were important to each other because of the impact they made on each other. It was about the relationships. And that, I believe, was the only true way they could end the series.

I thought that Target did an awesome job with their "Targeted" advertising during the LOST series finale. Here's an article w/ all three commercials + a few funny spoofs: http://bit.ly/b9XZlo
It surprises me that more brands didn't follow suit. Supposedly 30-sec ads during the finale cost more than $900K and I can only imagine how many millions of people tuned in. Why not target your ads to LOST's loyal fans?
KFC doing Mr. Cluck's Chicken ads maybe? Budweiser doing Dharma Beer? Too late!

Based on the promos for tonight it looks like we're going to see a pretty epic back story. Is anybody else as excited as I am? What do you think was the catalyst that made Jacob and MIB foes?

Poor ___, ___, ___, and ____. MIB's plan is out in the open. Next week is supposed to without the main characters filling in a lot of the back story not related to the candidates lives. It would be nice for an explanation of why the smoke monster took the pilot in the 'pilot episode' and Mr. Eko. We know why Locke survived his encounter, and why Widmore's mercs were killed.

On EW.com, Darlton stated the build up for this whole season was for this episode to show that MiB really IS bad. My reaction to that is - REALLY? I mean, there was an "ah-ha" moment when you figured it out, but it doesn't explain why the rest of the season has been soooo lame. With that said, so if MiB doesn't want off the island, does that negate the rest of the season about if he DOES get off? Or is there another way that we just don't know about?

4 more episodes left...I'm freaking out a little bit. Let's take a poll. Who is everyone's #1 pick for the candidate that will be replacing Jacob? I'm picking Sawyer. His life in the alternate timeline doesn't seem any happier...Maybe he'll be the one to stay behind and "protect" the island. What's your pick?

I agree w/ @Daniel and @Ryan that at the end of the series it's going to be Jack & Locke...what a great ending!

Anyone have any idea of who this week's episode centers around? My DVR cut off last week's previews. My guess is Locke? Possibly with a cameo from Jack Shepard in the hospital after his little "accident" with Desmundo?
If Locke gets flashes of his alternate on-island life, will he know that he's dead? How's that going to work?

I had to get a refresher on what the conversation was like and, according to Lostpedia, it was this...
"Moments later, Desmond met Jack Shephard, while training at the same stadium. During their short conversation, Desmond suggested that Jack is running the stadium stairs because of frustration having to do with a woman. Jack confided in Desmond about his patient, Sarah, whom Jack had no hope of fixing. Desmond pointed to the possibility of miracles. Sarah's subsequent unexpected healing suggests that possibly Desmond was right."
This sounds a lot like the conversation he had with Hurley.

I don't think the heaven/hell thing works with the rest of the series though - how would the Dharma Initiative find a way to experiment in hell? I am still pretty lost, but happy to focus on someone other than Kate or Locke.

Okay, so I am starting to think that the alternate timeline has nothing to do w/ the nuke going off, but something to do w/ an event that hasn't occurred yet in the on-island timeline. Karla mentioned this earlier, but Jacks new offspring has made me a believer.
Any thoughts, theories, etc?
