I'm still in shock of how much you know about the bible. It's unreal

So I'm kind of starting to pull for him. A bit.

Yup. I understand that current-day Jacob now has a couple thousand years of maturity under his belt and presumably is no longer a petulant child who believes whatever his "all knowing" mama tells him. But as a godless heathen I can't help but admire MIB's scientific ingenuity and curiosity going back to olden times. I hope the smoke of science wins out over the man of faith.

Also, I would like to subscribe to your theological newsletter. Where should I send the money order?

Did anyone else laugh at the star wipe sound effect when they started speaking English after RealMom and FakeMom were about to spit out some special kids?

So if Desmond is a "fail-safe," and MIB wants to use him to destroy the island, does that mean Desmond may actually be working for MIB in the alt-timeline?  Or could Alt-Desmond and Real-Jack both be working simultaneously in the different timelines to keep MIB from destroying the world?

One post? From Weebs? In an episode that included:

- Richard getting speared in a high noon showdown with Smokey
- Smokey getting slicey with TinotFey
- Ben pumping Widmore full of hot lead
- AltDesmond pulling the strings to bring everyone together
- People finally sitting down and asking WHY! [/Chuck]
- Jacob giving answers that fit in nicely with the overall puzzle (Jacob crossing moms off his candidate list makes sense given his status as a mama's boy)
- Jack stepping up to take over for Jacob, and doing it without coming off like the self-important douche Jack has been in previous seasons

I don't get this thread inactivity at all. Sure it was a setup episode for the reality-colliding finale, but it was great entertainment on its own merits. The only improvement I would've suggested is that AltDesmond should've pulled his shades down and winked at the camera after each step of his zany caper to bring everyone together.

Here.
We.
Go.

We talked about it in the shoutbox a bit. We agreed that Desmond is the shit.

I think we also agreed that TDubbs may be very right that AltJuliet is AltJack's ex-wife, leading us to...

Sure it was a setup episode for the reality-colliding finale...

Can't wait. There's gotta be a shitload of mirrors.

Whether she's AltJack's former missus or not, I expect AltJuliet to be at the concert tonight in some capacity so that she and AltSawyer (either dragged there by AltMiles or chasing down the fugitives) can have their AltHurley-and-AltLibby-style crossover love connection.

Who else will be at the concert and how will they get there?

AltJack will be there for David along with AltClaire. AltHurley, AltKate, AltSayid and AltDesmond are going together.

AltWidmore, AltEllie and AltPenny will be in attendence (their benefit), while AltFarraday and AltCholly perform. It's at AltMiles' dad's museum (that is, AltChang), for which AltCharlotte works.

I'd imagine AltHurley will have AltLibby for a date.

Will AltLocke be there? (And what of AltJack potentially helping AltLocke walk again in the alt-timeline even as Jack-ob fights EvilLocke in the original?)

Will we maybe see AltDogen again? Is AltAlex a musician? If she's there to perform, that could get AltBen and AltRousseau. Malcolm David Kelley's too old for 2004, but AltMichael? AltLapidus?

Finally, TEC and I agreed that, at the very least, there needs to be some excuse made for AltArzt to be there, too. (Maybe whatever gets AltBen there snags him as well.)

Am I missing anyone?

As far as the end game goes, I'm still holding out for a bit of ManInBlack redemption. I've never gotten to the point of wanting him to actually win (particularly now that the writers have gone to such lengths to make it clear that he's eeeeeeeeeevil). But I am more sympathetic to him as a character than I was to Jacob. So I need a little "there's good in him yet" moment a la Darth Vader at the end of Jedi or something similar.

Maybe even something as small as him embracing his own death (as the next best thing to "winning") by saying "thank you" when he finally goes, just like dear old crazy mom.

I also hope Jack is growing out a sweet beard again.

T minus 4 hours from Chuck, Pen and Weebs bitching about how it all ended.

I don't know if anyone else is watching the pre-End Lost special on ABC right now, but listening to Daniel Dae Kim talk is a trip. I already knew the guy was raised in the States, but he sounds nothing at all like Jin.

Naveen Andrews sounds like a big British homo.

Yea. I'm loving this summary. It's a nice tribute to the show. The Lostograms people sent are gay, but this all comes from a guy who just got into it right after the finale last season
